So given the reveal about Agatha, I think the meaning of the yogurt commercial is that she's feeding off Wanda's power somehow.

-"Snackin' on Yo-Magic" = "snacking on your magic"
-"The snack for survivors": in the comics, Agatha is a survivor of the Salem witch trials, and in ep1 she mentioned her anniversary is June 2nd, the day the first woman was tried and convicted of being a witch in those trials
-The shark's music in the commercial is similar to (though not EXACTLY the same as) Agatha All Along
-"Agatha Harkness" anagrams to "Agnes tha Shark" with an A left over

I wish there had been something with a Married With Children vibe to show that things aren't going well in the Maximoff household anymore.

Basically I just wanted Vision to tuck his hand into his pants like Al Bundy, and that would tell us everything we needed to know about the status of their relationship.

About Agnes:

The entire plot of episode 2 was about putting the idea of having kids in Wanda's head. Then, the entire plot of episode 5 was about the kids putting the idea of bringing back the dead in her head. In both episodes, Agnes is the main instigator of events (bringing Wanda to the fundraiser and being the first to mention kids, pushing them to keep the dog and then being the one to find it dead).

It's all been orchestrated to bring Pietro in, and now that he's here he seems to be an antagonist. He claims that he doesn't remember anything between being killed by Ultron and Wanda calling him back, but he knows that Vision died. He doesn't question that Wanda created Westview even though he'd never seen her do anything close to that before. He dodges questions about their past and makes up stuff she doesn't remember. I don't know if he's a secret villain (a lot of people seem to think Mephisto will be in this show) or just a disruptive force to try and break her out of the illusion world, but it's all been about bringing him in and Agnes played a key role in that, with more apparent agency than anyone else in town.

I got an early 80's Family Ties vibe off this episode rather than Full House.
The title sequence was based on Family Ties (the painting), Growing Pains (the pictures of each character growing up) and possibly Full House (running around the park).

The house layout was based on Full House: front door on the left that steps down into the living room, staircase going up to the left, large windows behind the sofa, kitchen on the right. However the darker color scheme did remind me of Family Ties.

For the 90s, I was hoping it would be based on Married With Children, and the more dysfunctional family dynamics would represent Wanda losing control of the TV world and Vision becoming more suspicious, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. The most famous 90s domestic sitcom was probably Home Improvement so I expect at least a neighbor hidden behind a fence in the next era.

I think it's possible that the casting is BOTH just an easter egg and ALSO a hint at things to come

Like it might not literally be the same character... but it might not be nothing either

They already teased us with the multiverse fakeout in Far From Home though lol
Whatever his identity, it does seem like him being there is the next step in somebody's plan. In ep2 we had a lot of talk about kids, including that weird "for the children" bit to put the idea of kids in Wanda's head, and by the end of the episode she's pregnant. Then, having had the kids, they put the idea of bringing someone back in her head via the whole dog scenario. Definitely feels like he's the next step in a plan, but to what end I have no idea.

It might be Agnes. She seems to have more autonomy than the other residents especially in this episode, she wasn't ID-ed in ep4 like everyone else, and she instigated both the fundraiser and the dog episodes. And when Vision got through to Norm, he kept saying "she" was doing it, which we're meant to think means Wanda but could just as easily be her.

I still kinda wanna point out here that Quicksilver was indeed explicitly identified as Magneto's son still in the X-Men movies. But whether that sticks who knows, it could be some multiversal glitch about him... but then again it's not like I'd be expecting FOX-Men Magneto to be joining this universe too so it wouldn't really matter and could just simply never be touched on again.
Quicksilver could just be a random guy who's being made to play the role in the TV world. The casting may just be an easter egg for the audience and not of any plot significance.

Arrowverse shows do that kind of thing all the time.

I think you're misunderstanding his point, which is to not forget that that is by FAR the more common scenario, and this situation not being that doesn't mean we should think any differently about how these cases usually would go.
Her point (pronouns in signature), but yes I just thought it was important to keep in mind. I don't know the details of this case, I've just seen it generalized in the past to "bitches be lying".

One thing to keep in mind about "both of them are abusive" narratives is that they are often deployed against abused women who eventually had enough and fight back. Meanwhile women who don't get hit with "why didn't you fight back, it must not have been that bad".

Saying we have a one party system now is silly and somewhat ignorant especially after the last week.

Democrats aren't perfect but there is a world of difference between what they want to do and what republicans want to do.
I am not saying Republicans and Democrats are the same.

I'm saying Democrats are a political party and Republicans are a fascist death cult.

We can't have a two party system where we give one of those spots over to a fascist death cult.

He's kind of right, though. If we only had one political party, they'd become completely corrupt and incompetent. And neither the center nor left faction of the Democrats is strong enough to break off and replace the Republicans as the second major party. If we're going to be stuck with the GOP holding a major share of power, they need to stop being awful or more bad shit is gonna happen. Wishing they had no power won't change anything.
Republicans are a fascist death cult masquerading as a political party. The Democrats are the party of everybody else. What we need is to break the power of the fascists and separate the conservative wing of the Democrats, your Joe Manchins and Kyrsten Sinemas of the world, from the progressive wing. *THOSE* are America's political parties that can govern. If any "principled Republicans" can be said to still exist, say Adam Kinzinger or the like, they can find a comfortable home in that new conservative party. But the GOP as an establishment must go.

EDIT: A one party system is what we have now.

I think any MK character is really unlikely for the same reason I never really believed in Doom Guy. You cant represent these characters as accurately and detailed as these third characters tend to be without making them super violent

If you put Scorpion in the game, but you cant give him a fatality or X-Ray attack, then whats the point?

Scorpion's classic fatality is breathing fire. Bowser breathes fire. I'm not seeing the problem here.

Yeah and its not like you can just trial and error infinitely without having to play through the whole stage again
And unlike the rest of the series, there's no passwords. You have to start from the beginning every time so you have to get through the 6 Robot Masters before you can even try Yellow Devil.

For me the bigger issue is that the game is just kinda broken in a few places. Like the helicopter platform enemies that appear in Ice Man and Wily 1 just straight up do not work correctly, and you can get patterns where you just can never jump to the next platform, or you'll sometimes fall through them and it's not always clear why. You can use the Magnet Beam to bypass them but that's the same level of "you have to cheat to get past it" as people say about Yellow Devil.

Also Mega Man's movement isn't as tight in 1 as it is in 2-6, like it takes a little longer for him to start and stop moving in 1 compared to the others. If you're used to the later games and you try 1 for the first time, you'll end up accidentally walking into hazards occasionally because of this.

Personally I'm hoping that he plays a hallucinatory Anakin/Vader that isn't the real guy but rather a manifestation of Obi-Wan's guilt that lurks over his shoulder relentlessly mocking him and reminding him of his failures.

They both had a relatively small number of great games, but the N64 also had a truckload of garbage while the Wii U just had a very small but very high-quality library. Wii U is set back a LOT by how almost everything of relevance was ported to 3DS and Switch, and I try not to count rereleases too heavily but Wii U is a really extreme case.
