Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

[Paul Farquhar]

They didn't know she was dead until after they'd left.

That’s the “in show” explanation, but from a meta perspective they wasted quite a lot of time on scenes dragging the body which serve no narrative purpose if it’s not needed. And if you do intend the kill her off it would have been better to have her explode due to the poison wine 15 minutes earlier, as that would serve the narrative purpose of raising the stakes.

Oh, from a European perspective all that “you can’t drink the wine you are under age” seemed very very silly!

I enjoyed this week’s episode. We did get a little backstory for each of the other witches via their hallucinations. I expect we’ll get more as the series continues.

I hope Aubrey Plaza will show up again soon.

yeah the "that happened to a friend of mine, she had a lovely house too" was the best joke of the episode

and I did appreciate the backstories, especially Alices mum showing up

I felt the Hansel and Gretel reference was immersion breaking.

What’s immersion breaking for me is seeing Lisa Simpson dressed as a witch in the end credits!

really? even more so than having the oven door popping open to provide them an exit?

-it was the whole escape room vibe that was immersion breaking for me, which unfortunately was 90% of the plot

Did you see the Daredevil movie or read any internet commentary on Wandavision? Mephisto featured in both.

Unsure about Teen - is he still Wiccan and how does he tie-in to Wanda?
It could be a big red herring for all us comic geeks who know to much.

Im suprised Sharon is (maybe) dead, she was my favourite character.

The other witches dont have much personality atm and yeah this episode felt like watching a pretty badic 'escape room'

Mephisto was in the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie??

I haven't read comics in decades, and so was unaware of the character of Wiccan. Given how Marvel has played with origins, powers, and such of the various characters it's possible that Teen is both Agatha's son and Wiccan.

Also ranking up there among confusing names for Marvel characters. Not right up there with America, but still odd to use as a personal name or title.
