so i can sit on my comfortable couch and play on a 55" OLED screen?

Are we sure we don’t mean Torchwood’s Indira Varma? Or even Luther’s Indira Varma?

I’m pleased that almost this entire comment section is devoted to Babylon 5. It deserves more fame and attention than it gets.

Yep - James was an arrogant dick, sure...but his targets were literally Magic Neo-Nazis, of which Snape was one.

Also eternal life, which is why Agatha is well over a one hundred years old.

Just here to say that Babylon 5 is better today than it was when it aired and you owe it to yourself to watch this show. Season 3 might be the best season of ANY sci fi show. Amazing.

Yep! That was after the scene with Vision comforting Wanda as they watch TV back at the Avengers compound. I was tearing up, too!

Agatha comes across as callous and cruel but not necessarily wrong. Even to a point her flashback, tho framing her as reckless, doesn’t go out of its way to show how evil she is; she seems shocked by the results, as if her self preservation was an instinct, that she takes on stride.

I had been asking myself the same thing, but it actually makes sense now. If someone were going to call the Avengers, it’d be Haywood. I kept asking, if there’s magic shit going on, why not immediately call Dr. Strange? If there’s an issue with Vision, why not call Bruce Banner, the co-creator of Vision who’s still…

You know, since episode 4 a big elephant in the room has been “why hasn’t anybody contacted the Avengers?” but after this episode I believe I’ve found the real answer: the Avengers are bad friends. Like, it didn’t seem like Wanda was best friends with anybody on the team, but ultimately they were all teammates, and…

I agree with this. When the episode ended, I turned to my girlfriend and said, “So Agatha’s clearly not a villain, right?”

Babylon 5 was and is an amazing show. It somehow manages to be a dark story of the future but still show great optimism. It also deals with real world concepts better then most sci-fi. We learn how human religion evolved after first contact. We learn what religion and politics really look like for other races. …

Eh. The twins are pulling on the “leashes” as much as she’s pulling on them, it seems to me, plus if my hunch turns out to be right that might not really be them (Agatha might be using an illusion spell on more cicadas or whatever). Or for that matter she might just be a "tough love" kind of mentor who crosses the…

Agreed. Agatha seems morally gray and too inquisitive. I also don’t think Marvel is in any hurry to say goodbye to Kathryn Hahn (and who would be?). If it’s true this show leads directly into Doctor Strange 2, I can see her being in that. Agatha in the comics has always been complicated; this character can be redeemed…

“But what is grief if not love persevering?" What a sad, beautiful way to sum up what Wanda and Monica have both been working through in the series. 

Yep! That was my thinking, too. She even asks them to help her control her powers, but instead the rest of the witches (sans her mother, at first) start directing their blue magic at her. We see something red glowing within her—pretty similar to Wanda’s chaos magic—and rise in her throat, as if the other witches are…

I keep going back to that moment in the previous episode when Agatha, watching from her window, doesn’t intervene in Wanda’s showdown with Monica until the latter says “Don’t let [Hayward] make you the villain, and Wanda replies, “Maybe I already am”. In the basement and in her theme song, Agatha hams it up, almost…

I think the same. That whole Salem scene was setting up the idea of a witch who has dangerous abilities, but doesn’t want to use them for evil. Unlike her mother who lashed out, Agatha probably wants to help Wanda “be good” just like she wanted to be. 

The last few scenes with Agatha did give me that feeling at times, but I am not trying to get my hopes up. 

S.W.O.R.D. Director Tyler Haywood (Josh Stamberg) is a more banal villain than Agatha, likely because he doesn’t have a viral theme song. However, he’s no less sadistic.
