It's here! It's here! It's finally here.
This will be our spot to discuss the show. I haven't actually watched it yet, but tonight I'm all in.

Well....just watched through the two episodes the first time. And, yes, I felt as though I was watching a brilliant evocation of the Dick Van Dyke show and Bewitched - with the terror of the best Twilight Zone stories there are well. Are we doing spoilers? {Spoiler}I was in tears when Wanda asked 'is this really happening' and hearing/watching Vision reply. And I'm not even really up to speed on the Marvel comics for Wanda and Vision at all.
I've got to go find some episodes guides - I know I'm missing a million Easter eggs and such. And I'm assuming all the red & gold means something? And the Strucker commercial gave me chills.
First impression is that this series will bear a lot of rewatching for details, and I bet it is setting the scene for a lot of MCU plots down the road (hi, there, Monica Rombeau! who doesn't know who she is yet).
And I'll bet you anything they wanted Falcon & Winter Soldier to go first since it's apparently more rooted in 'reality', like Winter Soldier - but now I can't wait til next Friday for Wanda.

We are about to start! I’m trying to get my boys to watch it but they were fighting about their “forged in fire lego sword” creations and are both pouting. I am very excited!

ETA because I forgot to spoiler.
{Spoiler} I am in the middle of the first episode. I love all little hints that it's not real. Like how they can't remember their story at all. And how Vision's job has no meaning. I thought the Stark toaster was a nice touch.

Scarlet Witch has been my favorite hero/mutant for ages. So I'm just beyond thrilled at everything.

I absolutely loved it. I’m excited to see where it goes. Is there a timeline for when this is? Vision still seems to have the stone in his head, so is it before Infinity War?

Red is the color of Wanda's power. And the mind stone in Vision's head is the yellow stone. Also, they are Iron Man colors. It may just be a little bit of reality leaking though.

Vision still seems to have the stone in his head, so is it before Infinity War? {Spoiler} So this is basically all Wanda's brain. She has reality altering powers. With the death of Vision and everything, she basically goes mad with grief and creates her own reality, basically distorting everyone else's reality as well. Vision still has the stone, because that's the Vision in Wanda's memories.

But based on her story arcs in the comics, it's what I'm expecting.

The shot of somebody monitoring the first episode has me wondering if someone has tricked Wanda into creating her own reality within a Hydra-controlled experiment. I'm certain I missed a lot of clues but Strucker was one of the guys who was in charge of her and Pietro during experimentation. Love Kathryn Hahn in this btw. I like how they progress a story within a story, while poking fun at all the old tropes from those types of shows. I can not wait for the next two!

I completely forgot about her 😂 she did have a movie some years ago that was a soulmate timer, you had a timer on your wrist that counted down when you met your soulmate. I think I remember that was pretty cute but Netflix ditched it almost right away.

I know what movie you're talking about though I never watched IMDB says it was called Timer (lol....feel like that one should have stuck with me) and it was also a Jac Schaeffer production. It has always interested me how certain actors and actresses show up on projects directed by certain people. Nothing nefarious, just makes me chuckle. Like oh this is an Adam Sandler movie? expect to see John Turturro and Allen Covert

So I made him watch the trailer #2 I think they have on there that shows more of what will happen Article I read said that WandaVision may be forming a loose trilogy with Dr. Strange 2 and Spiderman 3. Maybe the husbands will get more into the series if that linkage is established. {Spoiler} We see Monica Rambeau as an adult, already (hello, Captain Marvel?), SWORD (which I had to look up), and one repeated rumor is that Dr. Strange will appear at the end to tell Wanda she's torn a hole in the multiverse. I also gather we're supposed to be watching for more references to 28 and 2800 along the way?

I’m so glad I found this thread! I love this show. I wonder if those having trouble with the black and white format and nostalgic cheese factor didn’t watch nick at nite growing up lol I think it’s so well done and I LOVE Kathryn Hahn, so I’m glad to see her. I love vision and Wanda together, but I can tell this show is going to break my heart. 💔

Their house number was either 1800 or 2800 in the 60s episode I think, I remember thinking it was a high house number for a neighborhood. What’s the significance?

What I've read is that's a reference to MCU's Earth 2800, rather than Earth 616 where much of the MCU that we've seen so far is set. I'm familiar with the idea of a multiverse from growing up with DC comics, but not a lot of familiarity, other than research, with Marvel's multiverse. But so much chatter online keeps talking about MCU's Phase 4 really leaning into the multiverse idea.

And after they messed with the timeline in Endgame, it makes sense for them to dabble in it more.
