Tyler Hoechlin’s Clark Kent is a huge dork, and I am here for it.

Jordan and Sara are kind of giving me Clark and Lana from Smallville vibes... which if my guess is correct, Shawn will join the army at the end of the season and then be killed overseas.

I love that Jordan got his, and then moved to quash the beef.

Yeah, it’s reminded me of that sequence in Dr. Strange where he was studying while sleeping. Except in this case it looked like Wanda was astral projecting while still conscious. It going to be fun to see those two team up.

When Jimmy Woo gets out of the handcuffs, he says. “Flourish,” which is what drunk Vision kept saying at the end of his weirdo magic tricks.

I actually loved the townies doing nothing. They more than anyone, brutally understand the awesome power Wanda has. Of course they bitterly know she has to be “let go”. It has to sting all the more that they know there’s no way to get justice. 

The theater marquee after the Hex is dropped calls out the Tannhauser Gate, so there's another reference to an android crying.

Sure. But the victims view Wanda as an inhuman monster, whereas she’s actually a very human person who ultimately made an enormous sacrifice in her choice to do the right thing. It’s about empathy/understanding; not justification. 

Kamala Khan is coming in Captain Marvel 2/a Ms. Marvel show and Yelena Belova appears confirmed for Hawkeye after Black Widow, it sure seems like a next gen team is coming.

A few random thoughts:
* Oh, are we mad that the fifth male lead of the fourth-best movie in a franchise where 11 movies total didn’t make what Endgame/Infinity War/Black Panther made was underused? Puh-leaze. Peters’ Quicksilver was fun and had two good scenes, but he wasn’t the cosmos.

* Notice how all the clamoring

A few things:

Vision and Vision having a rhetorical showdown after their physical one was welcome. I loathe a lot about Age of Ultron, but I have always liked Vision and Ultron’s conversation. Excited to see what they do with the Vision now.

Monica’s “they’ll never know what you gave up for them” moment really rubbed me the wrong way. Wanda has my sympathies and she absolutely does the right thing in the end but the show has been very careful to point out that her spell did to these people what she most feared for herself - it separated them from their

Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) didn’t swoop in to save the day, either. This was Wanda’s victory. Showrunner Jac Schaeffer and director Matt Shakman deserve credit for never losing sight of whose story this actually was. It’s been a hell of a ride, and I’ve enjoyed every minute.

Considering that Kate Bishop is getting her own show on Disney+ and America Chavez is in Doctor Strange 2, I’m pretty sure we’re seeing Billy and Tommy again...

I think the biggest shocker for me in this episode is how well they pulled off the Scarlet Witch costume. Not cheesy or exploitative, but still hot as hell. (Pun semi-intended)

Anyone else reminded of the incredible hulk's ending with the post credits scene?

It was “Agnes”—you know, the bad guy—who told us that Dottie was important in the first place. That’s fair misdirection, but I think Jimmy’s team not identifying her in “We Interrupt This Program” is a cheat. She played a major role in “Don’t Touch That Dial” and interacted with both Wanda and Monica as “Geraldine.”

I suspect the actor that Bettany was jokingly referring to (“someone I’ve wanted to work with my whole life”) was himself.

The Scartlet Witch look is pretty awesome. It has the iconic crown, it doesn’t sexualize her, and I like how the dress and hair emphasize a kind of witchiness.

I thought it was an appropriate punishment for Agatha, and I’m very glad we’re likely to see Kathryn Hahn again.
