Agreed on Hahn. She was a bit annoying in the, admittedly, very few things I've seen her in. But she's great in this show.Kathryn Hahn is AMAZING.
That scene where they showed Wanda watching her 1950s self and Vision saying welcome home was so dope. God this show rules.
A couple things here. When Wanda was talking to the camera Office/Modern Family style, she mentions something about "he", right? Mephisto?I was hoping the letter was from Mephisto. Still could be so, manipulating her emotions and making her think it was from Vision.
Saw this mentioned somewhere else too. I don’t recall the scene. When was it mentioned?We still don’t know who the guy in witness protection or whatever was, right? Probably not important
The 3rd episode maybe? It was why agent Woo was trying to get into the town, because he had a guy in witness protection disappear.Saw this mentioned somewhere else too. I don’t recall the scene. When was it mentioned?
Not so fast my friend. Agatha can't create a new person, not does she raise the dead. It's still a possibility. We saw last episode that Agatha was behind Fietro. We also know that Fietro shared similar memories as Wanda. It's possible that Agatha tricked Wanda into manipulating those memories, but they didn't match up with Wanda's version. We even hear Wanda recognize that Fietro isn't really her brother and tells her boys the same. Agatha doesn't know all the memories, this taking Wanda through the perverted "This is your life" trip down memory lane. We know Agatha doesn't do necromancy, but that's not to say she (or the deity she worships) doesn't use alt dimensions. It's a possibility.was right about this not being the Fox Quiksilver as wel
I think she said something along the lines of I felt all the power here and had to come see what it was. I can’t answer the second partSo was Agatha already living there or did she come after sensing the magic? She said there were thousands of spells cast in that basement over time — hers or is that some nexus spot there?
I believe the emergency awesome nerd said she felt thousands of magic spells being cast at once so she headed over.So was Agatha already living there or did she come after sensing the magic?

You're probably right and he's not involved at all.A couple things here. When Wanda was talking to the camera Office/Modern Family style, she mentions something about "he", right? Mephisto?
But aside from the comics, where there's a history with Wanda & Mephisto, why would this show bring in Mephisto without at least some hints/cameos*? I would imagine the reactions when Mephisto appears from behind the curtain:
Comics nerd - Holy crap it's Mephisto!
Average viewer - Holy crap.... there's a devil, now?
There's likely more of the latter watching this show.
* Or did Mephisto appear in some post-credit scene I missed?
It’s kinda wrapped up. We know how it all kinda went down. Will be some type of confrontation between Visions/wanda/kids. Then a cliffhanger that leads into Phase 4 multiverse stuff.That episode was wonderful, but how can they possibly wrap all of this up in one more show?
I’m still wondering if this might be true.I was hoping the letter was from Mephisto. Still could be so, manipulating her emotions and making her think it was from Vision.
Kind of let down that all these “the episodes get longer!” rumors ended up incorrect. Assuming the finale is not 2 hours plus.That episode was wonderful, but how can they possibly wrap all of this up in one more show?
My off-the-cuff reaction was the letter / deed was from Mephisto, leading her to Westview where Agatha was ready/waiting. In Agatha's basement, there's an ominous growling sound seemingly coming from behind the doors as they go through the flashbacks. It seems to me Agatha might be serving some more powerful master.A couple things here. When Wanda was talking to the camera Office/Modern Family style, she mentions something about "he", right?

It would be so awesome if the series concluded with an epic feature-length finale.Kind of let down that all these “the episodes get longer!” rumors ended up incorrect. Assuming the finale is not 2 hours plus.
So ... all those “official” pronouncements of long episodes to come ... based on known (?) series runtime divided number of remaining episodes. That was BS? The actual series runtime was never actually known to the public in advance, just rumored?
Yep. And with this show ... it’s not like, say, 90 minutes would feel too long.It would be so awesome if the series concluded with an epic feature-length finale.
Everything was just a figment of Bob Newhart's imagination.That episode was wonderful, but how can they possibly wrap all of this up in one more show?
Agatha wiped away a tear while doing this and Wanda didn't see it so wasn't sarcasm. That leads me to believe that she is being strong armed into doing this to Wanda. I also liked when she called her toots.Not so fast my friend. Agatha can't create a new person, not does she raise the dead. It's still a possibility.

PONCHO!Agreed on Hahn. She was a bit annoying in the, admittedly, very few things I've seen her in. But she's great in this show.
I fear this finale is going to encompass all emotions from WTF just happened?, to THAT WAS AWESOME, to Damnit now I have to wait until ____ movie comes out?! and then even some inevitable letdown (most likely around expected cameos or lack of, rumors and hype, etc)I am so ready for this finale.
Yeah, I expect it to be a great conclusion to the series. Sad it's ending but it was really well done and will no doubt feel the reverberations into the next set of movies. Will wait on my son again so I'm sure there will be 100 messages before I can even watch itI fear this finale is going to encompass all emotions from WTF just happened?, to THAT WAS AWESOME, to Damnit now I have to wait until ____ movie comes out?! and then even some inevitable letdown (most likely around expected cameos or lack of, rumors and hype, etc)

Well at least we don’t have to wait all that long for the next Marvel show.

Me too....but for different reasons. Heading to work early. I'll be watching it around 10am, and then again about 3pm with my son. Should be an action packed hour. Looking forward to it. Really hoping FatWS is just as good as WV has been. Definitely a step above most of the Netflix shows.Setting my alarm for 3am
Yeah it was a let down since I was just waiting for something epic. But a great show.
Some people on Facebook are upset about it. Unexpected and ep 9 isn't as good as the others, but overall it was a great season.
Minor gripes, but I'll say them anyway. For the most part you're right, that it's our own expectations getting in the way. This episode was rushed, but we knew it would be.How could anybody refer to this episode as a let down? No outside cameos? No big bad behind Agatha? Holy crap. That was the best Marvel material besides Endgame and you’re letting your own expectations diminish it.
Good night, that was awesome. Great wrap-up to the series.
Bravo boys. Bra-####-ing-vo.
Re: Agatha’s magic abilities inside the hex. The runes are what prevent another witch from using magic. Wanda was casting the rune spells while Agatha was distracted thinking that Wanda was surrendering her magic to her. If you watch, she missed some shots that are casting the rune spells right in front of us.Minor gripes, but I'll say them anyway.

SPOILERS, so don't read on unless you're seen it.
No Darcy. I get that she was in the van, but that was it.
I'm okay with fietro, but I wanted something from señor scratchy.
The fight with white vision was entirely too short. (I get it, it's one episode and they weren't the key but all that build up for seemingly nothing)
The line about witches not being able to perform magic in another witch's domain, after Agatha has clearly been performing magic. I assume there's a spell that prevents others from performing but that was too easy.
Honestly, to have met our expectations would have taken another season. There apparently will be a season 2, so that's promising.
I can't put WV in the elite tier of MCU, but it was an A+ by any other measure. I'll put daredevil above it for shows, and the best seasons of SHIELD. But yeah, very well done all around.
Yeah, that makes sense but it was still over quicker than I'd have liked and makes Agatha look far dumber/ more trusting than she is.Re: Agatha’s magic abilities inside the hex.

Classic villain who thinks he/she is smarter than their adversary and lets their guard down. Agatha was busy absorbing the shots. She just stood there so she could get hit and absorb Wanda's magic. She was too cocky to realize Wanda was missing intentionally to set up her trap. I thought it was very well done, and it shows just how quickly Wanda can learn, process, and use information/magical abilities. The final end credit scene was a great tease into DrS MVoM.Yeah, that makes sense but it was still over quicker than I'd have liked and makes Agatha look far dumber/ more trusting than she is.

The director said he'd leave the door open for a S2. Nothing's been written or approved. Marvel doing their due diligence to keep the money flowing. If people want a S2, they'll find a way to do a S2.Where did your hear about a season 2? I thought this was one and done.

I guess. But she had been around for hundreds of years. It's fine, just caught me as somewhat off-putting at the time.Classic villain who thinks he/she is smarter than their adversary and lets their guard down. Agatha was busy absorbing the shots.

"It's not a tumor"I may have misheard this morning. It looks like it was just a tumor.
Pretty strong since Wanda is basically the most powerful being on Earth probably. Her powers literally allow her to manipulate reality.I guess. But she had been around for hundreds of years. It's fine, just caught me as somewhat off-putting at the time.
Then Wanda changes the town back and leaves. Presumably the hex is still on Agnes, but how strong can it really be when all the other town folk are back to normal and Wanda is not even there?
Yesthe dark hold is the book from AoS, correct?
where did white vision go? did i miss that?
and interesting that wanda has some of the mind stone in her. i wonder how literal that is supposed to be.
