I thought they had just re-created the original set when I first saw it, they're so similar. Vision's job also seemed like a subtle reference (Dick Van Dyke's character works as a comedy writer, Vision works as a computer).

In Age of Ultron she mentioned her and her brother hiding under a bed for days after their house was destroyed by a bombing with an unexploded Stark bomb right next to them. The part about waiting for the toaster to pop is a reference to waiting for the bomb to go off. I wonder if Wanda will ever mention Quicksilver in this show? It kinda seems like the MCU has forgotten he ever existed in everything since AoU. <br /><br />I think this is a fantasy reality that Wanda has created for herself where Vision never died and they can live happily ever after. Vision is confused the whole episode about what his company does but Wanda just takes everything in stride, and Vision has to wait for Wanda to tell him to save the choking man before he does anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52140253278964328352021-01-21T20:02:25.843-05:002021-01-21T20:02:25.843-05:00I'm definitely enjoying it so far. It's su...I'm definitely enjoying it so far. It's surreal, almost to the point of being a little terrifying. And I have a feeling things won't be this happy for long.<br />Billie, they actually brought Dick Van Dyke on as a consultant for this episode! And he had no idea how big the MCU is! But yes, they said they modeled this episode to look reminiscent of the Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy. <br />I noticed a number of possible Easter Eggs, but I don't know if they carry any significance. The one I'm most intrigued by was the symbol on the notebook of the mysterious person watching it at the very end. That looked like the symbol of S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department), which is kind of like a sister agency of S.H.I.E.L.D. Basically, where SHIELD protects the Earth from threats here, SWORD protects the Earth from more otherworldly foes. (Of course, SHIELD already pretty much did that in Agents of SHIELD, but we won't talk about that right now.)JBAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48835138011640777572021-01-17T13:39:03.764-05:002021-01-17T13:39:03.764-05:00Color me intrigued. Very intrigued.
I can see ho...Color me intrigued. Very intrigued. <br /><br />I can see how this pilot alone might not be everyone's thing considering it was very low key and not a lot of "action" happened. But the set up, the immersion in whatever wacky alternate dimension/government experiment/mind-altered reality this may be, and the subtle hints of something beneath the surface really interested me. After watching this ep, I kinda wish I hadn't seen the trailers now and had gone into this fully blind.<br /><br />Olsen, Bettany, and Hahn were so fun to watch. Olsen in particular stole the show for me. Exciting that we get to go full absurd/unsettling in a way the MCU probably wouldn't do in the movies.

For those of you ...Yeah, I am completely confused.<br /><br />For those of you not as old as I am, the set, both living room and kitchen, and the thing with Vision not tripping over the chair looked very much like <i>The Dick Van Dyke Show</i>. Not that it's important, but it's one of the few old sitcoms I'm familiar with.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73872405834584008862021-01-15T21:07:36.971-05:002021-01-15T21:07:36.971-05:00@skyemaidstone I TOTALLY didn't notice the lig...@skyemaidstone I TOTALLY didn't notice the light was red!sunbunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-81741392698129065072021-01-15T20:41:33.610-05:002021-01-15T20:41:33.610-05:00The toaster had a red light for some reason which ...The toaster had a red light for some reason which was weird in the otherwise B&W episode. <br /><br />7 minutes of credits for 22 minutes of show? Rather strange.<br /><br />I'm intrigued anyway. And I like both the leads. I kinda liked her made up accent from a made up place. I thought her American accent was due to it being an American sit-com style... but then Vision spoke with his normal posh English accent thinking about it.<br />skyemaidstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313986182360233336noreply@blogger.com
