KC: "Friendship, working relationship. And here is what - (Laughs) - here's why I think Stephen coming out of the gates - this was our conversation when we first met. 'Stephen. Hi. Okay. If you f*ck this up, I will f*ckin' kill you. Okay?'"
MR (laughing): "Oh, my God!"
KC: "'Don't f*ck this up for us, alright? Don't become an asshole. Don't become an asshole. And if you are, if you're going to become an asshole, I'm gonna let you - let you know you're being an asshole. Okay?' And he - he - this is like right before we shot the pilot, I think, or it might've been at Comic-Con. I don't know. But he, of course, started cracking up. And, I don't know, it's like a - he becomes - he's like kind of like a brother in a way? I don't know. But he has respect for me and he - we can laugh at each other and I roll my eyes at him and I've called him out and he's called me out."Well I actually think this sums up a lot about their relationship and is pretty ironic in way that I don't think she intended. Not that it was just her fault but they did end up "f*cking part of it up". They probably did "call each other out" although I don't necessarily believe it was in a big brother type way.

This from FFH might be an indication of how regular people might know of events in IW and then Endgame. Someone provided enough information for a documentary/ripped from the headlines Paul Greengrass film to get Thanos's glove right which can only have come from those that were there. So possibly details of what Wanda and Vision went thought to try and prevent everything. It's both the type of harrowing and brave story people like to tell and part of their succeeding plan to defeat Thanos until he changed the rules with the Time stone.
And that's before you get into Darcy potentially being involved with SWORD before and having access to other debriefings.

Well August always was going to explode in pretty short order. Unintentionally throwing his dad back into his undercover life and then exploding that was a way to do it though. I do think if he had actually said "I have to clean up some stuff your completely stupid, angsty texting last night brought up" then it would have cut down on August messing stuff up. Then again August wasn't using great logic skills anyway. "I think this is my Dad's excuse-to-leave-me-woman so I'll text her just to see what happens then complain when I think he responds to her invite and doesn't just ghost her!"
I really liked the opportunity for Cordell and Micki to partner up undercover, she's a really quick thinker not only with becoming Adriana but then immediately planning a way to get these two arrested and the danger to Cordell and his family neutralised. I really enjoy their partnership, they have some really good partner chemistry and they compliment each other without the writers necessarily hitting us over the head with it each week with big speeches. "You didn't think we'd get robbed?! They're literally robbers!"
Would "Duke" have really used Hoyt Rawlings as his real life BFF in stories? Considering how unreliable that guy is I wouldn't want that name connected to both Duke and Cordell Walker if they met him.
I liked Liam this week and that he was sticking up for this brother. I think it helps that he wasn't involved with the kids at all and there wasn't that uneasy competition between him and Cordell. I'm glad Captain James acknowledged that allowing Walker to be sent in immediately after his wife's death was the wrong call, even if Walker wanted to be someone else and make his grief less immediate just as Micki said she felt like not being her for the day, others should have made that call.
So Trey is the sports director and coach at their school. That's one way to integrate an awesome but secondary character into the show more even if it is extremely convenient. I love him and Micki together, they're so cute even when they're arguing because they actually acknowledge their issues and communicate like healthy human beings whilst still having issues and vulnerabilities. I hope this means they won't kill him off, have him turn out to be working for the bad guys or get reactivated and go MIA etc etc. I thought his and Stella's talk was pretty fast for an angsty 17 year old to open up but I guess they had to give him a win on his first day and her some sort of resolution because she wasn't the Angst Generator this week.
Sorry I just couldn't take the name Twyla Jean seriously so I couldn't take anything about her seriously at all.

Sooooooo what have we learned?
Gen Xers old-schoolers? HA HA HA REED RICHARDS BWAH HAH. No.
This Agatha "reveal" plus Bettany's comments on "someone I've always wanted to work with" seem to point pretty specifically to Dr. Strange showing up.
Bettany has already worked extensively with Cumberbatch (in Creation which he and his wife are great in) and for that matter Ian McKellan, (for people guessing Magneto). He's well aware of the Dr. Strange speculation and hinted it was someone different (and older because he added "I've wanted to work with them all my life". And he's been working with a LOT of people since the 90s. Not that I would be surprised if Dr. Strange did cameo in this either.
I think people setting themselves up for Reed Richards might be disappointed, but maybe not. Since I'm not on the "John Krasinski or bust" train for RR I don't really care either way.

I've also seen speculation that Wanda is a Nexus Being:
-
I think Ralph is going to be revealed as someone. She said "Ralph thinks I sugar coat things". Maybe creating a fantasy world for Wanda and playing the nosy neighbour *was* her idea of being nice about it whilst manipulating events for whatever purpose. Maybe Senor Scratchy is the Big Bad. He looks mighty suspicious and was left alone with those boys at one point.
I loved the creep factor running through Agnes scenes, even though we only got the actual reveal and secret "evil" basement at the end. I would totally watch Agatha All Along, seems like a perfect cheesy magic show. She was literally running WandaVision and slipped into character every time it looked like it was going off course. And she was faking last week! Hah. I guess she wanted to separate Wanda and Vision when he was getting too suspicious and confrontational about everything. I do think that she's the "she" that Norm hears in his head. Although that could still be Wanda.
Vision and Darcy was a pairing I never knew I wanted and it was awesome. I loved the trip around the outskirts of WestView with barriers being put in their way, probably by Agatha. Loved Darcy trying to explain the complicated events of IW and Vision being “right…” Loved the “I am Not Amused!” deadpan. Acknowledging that Wanda had been through a lot before breaking out of the mockumentary and storming off! I love that.
I suppose Hayward could have been trying to bring Vision back for altrustic purposes but given what we know of him it's more likely that he wanted a weapon SWORD could control.
I think the twins were put into the TV as "the brightly coloured blobs" (tm Dead Ringers) of creepy kids TV. Actually no, they're in those two oven type/trophy case holes in the wall and it's "for the children!" that this is all happening.
I loved Monica trying desperately to reach Wanda both literally and physically, interesting that the space truck couldn't push through the barrier but she could. And we witnessed her literally changing on a cellular level to powered being. However even without powers she would have been a hero for trying to talk Wanda down and showing her empathy. Feeling like her pain over loosing her mother is already part of her truth is a powerful statement only three weeks after she leaned of it, I'm not sure I'd get there that quickly and obviously Wanda hasn't yet. But Wanda doesn't really want to hurt people and threatens more than anything else. Even though she does seem to literally blank out whenever anyone mentions that other residents are basically her puppets. And she did seem to power down like a puppet herself when Agatha came on the scene and then reanimated again. Interesting.
For someone who expanded the HEX last night Wanda didn't seem interested in doing very much. She was Modern Family deadpanning after zany chaos for a while and then simply reacting to whatever other people were doing. No trying to find Vision, not exploring what was going on or pretending this is her perfect "Shangri-La" as "Pietro/Peter" put it. Even when explaining that she had no answers she didn't get very animated about it, just went a little dark. She's coming around on the idea that its all meaningless and she's in a funk about it but also gets angry when someone tries to take it away from her.
A Dottie sighting but nothing concrete either way about her involvement.
UNO! I love that game, we used to play it at Christmas in the Before Times...
I think I need to watch the Nexus commercial about 50 times to unpack everything. Wanda is a Nexus and can control or change reality (but side affects also include more depression).

Eeeek that ending!!
Elizabeth Olsen does a brilliant Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy impression. The over gesturing was spot on.
My biggest question remains - where is that sword/beekeeper guy. Surely they haven’t forgotten about him?
Yeah, all through it I was thinking I can see Claire Dunphy doing this exactly, she was awesome.
And eeep! I knew it! Ahhh. They really did a good job of building up the Twilight Zone vibes and tensions even in a modern innocuous mockumentary. I knew when Agnes busted in at exactly the right moment to save Wanda yet again that they were indeed going there and boy did they!
I hope they go back to SWORD!Beekeeper he was such a big part of the early speculation between eps 1&2 and 3 it would be a shame if he was a never seen again early red herring that has just been absorbed into WestView. Hayward didn't seem concerned that they had missing personnel afterwards.

I watched an interview with Emma Caulfield who plays Dottie and she said she had to audition for Kevin Feige. Which seems odd for a bit character. Feige having to approve her seems like Dottie is bigger then just a background player.
I've seen spec that she could be Clea, a sorceress and love interest of Dr. Strange. Since this show is supposed to tie in with Dr. Strange 2.
Unless he personally auditioned everyone in this show. And I don't know maybe he is that much of a control freak.
I know he approves some of the more minor characters in the films, although probably not the absolute day players with a couple of lines.
I still think there's potentially more to Dottie. Her "husband" and the person she was in her first scene with (Beverly) were identified but they didn't have her making a pre talent show meeting appearance so we could cross her off (like we did with Herb after as suspicious scene in ep 3). There was something unsettling there beyond being a small town dictator in the 60s. Even if she turns out to be a red herring bit part, they wanted someone with menace and cheerfulness to keep us speculating, so I can see why Feige might have been involved. The cast is fairly small and the project both different and important to phase 4 so maybe most of them did.

I would like it if they didn’t make Hayward a stereo-typical white male middle aged government dude bad guy. They could do some really interesting things with him as a representative of what people have already been touching on - person left behind in the wake of Avenger fallout, overwhelmed, grieving, angry, now - three weeks later - having to deal with another global crisis in terms of billions of people suddenly reappearing plus another powered person wreaking havoc. I’d love to see some sort of nuance with his character.
They could have done that, and I think it actually might have been more interesting if they had done the "no easy answer" thing. I do think they've gone past that though. A few potential twists notwithstanding in quick succession they had him: Not listen to any of Monica's first hand intel, "Others" Wanda painting a completely one sided picture that the audience knows isn't even half the story, is shown probably dissecting Vision, points a missile at Wanda without telling Monica, disregards any of her suggestions without listening AGAIN, says misogynistic things about Monica and Darcy - giving Woo the opportunity to showcase himself, crosses about a million lines with Monica's mother, throws them out, is found to be hiding things and his secret agenda is discovered by Darcy, is shown unmoved by Vision disintegrating and chains Darcy to a Jeep whilst leaving her and everyone else and saving himself.
This isn't "It's all Wanda" but there's a lot of hints that it isn't just her this is "this guy's an asshole, bigoted suit who thinks everyone is a threat or a weapon.
I do feel sympathetic to the idea that the Snap survivors must have been terrified, grief stricken and had to make some extremely touch questionable choices to survive and that has changed them and how they think and that there is a lot of resentment about those who just got blipped back to "safety" but that immediately got swallowed up in every other thing he said that was just nasty and personal.
Again it's possible he's trying to work for the greater good against whoever is controlling Wanda or something or another type of twist where it turns out he's more sympathetic in the end. But right now they're really pulling out all the stops on him and not just in a "protect everyone with bombs" way.

They could very well bring colourism into it but since they didn't make it a big deal in S1 either in relationships or when Marina took over as the diamond from Daphne, I'm not entirely sure they would start to go in depth with it now. It would definitely be interesting though.
It wouldn't be the first time that film or TV has taken a very beautiful woman and made her a little less beautiful with make up, styling and posture. However, in most Pride and Prejudice adaptations Lizzie is just as pretty as Jane in a different way but Jane's more of a conventional girl. Edwina learns how to play the game immediately and "walk prettily, simper and mince" whilst Kate doesn't. And Kate's already decided that Marina will be the one to marry in London whilst she won't. That attitude can influence opinions.
That's all supposing they don't change it ala turning Daphne from friendzoned girl next door to Diamond and fall from grace. And before we see who is actually cast as Edwina and Mary.

They changed her last name to Sharma. I was wondering if they were going to have Kate be mixed with her late mother being a woman of color while her father, Mary, and Edwina remain white. Not anymore! I wonder who they'll cast to play Edwina Sharma.
They could always have just said Kate's father/grandfather changed his name from Sharma to Sheffield when he moved to England to try and fit in. But I'm absolutely fine with them changing it, I actually used to go to school with a lot of Sharmas, these days its not an uncommon name in the UK.
IIRC there was a the casting call asked for a biracial Anglo-Indian woman so that might be Edwina and Mary is white. Could be an interesting dynamic if they explore it. I saw her in Sex Education and I'm really excited, this has the makings of a great pairing. Can't wait to see the rest of the Sharmas! They were my favourite family in the book.
4 hours ago, scarynikki12 said:I’m sure they’ll downplay her looks somewhat when they style her but Kate is only considered plain when compared to Edwina. Anthony makes a note that Edwina’s overwhelming beauty unintentionally diminishes others around her and still finds Kate attractive at first meeting.
Yes Edwina was just so Helen of Troy beautiful that people dismissed or overlooked Kate as "the Incomparable's older sister". Kate herself thinks that whilst she doesn't expect to find a husband in London, she'll find someone in the local version of the Ton ala Pride and Prejudice. There's no real Cinderella moment in the books, although they might play that up in the series. Anthony thinks she's pretty, they keep having "love/hate" interactions and once they HAVE to marry he comes round to thinking she'll be the perfect wife almost immediately. The only snag being his trauma and fears over his father's death.

For me it doesn't have to be an either/or situation. Wanda's either the new villain of the MCU or she's a hapless victim. There are a lot of ways both can be true. She does have a lot of control over the people in the Hex and obviously the control to expand it and change people and that's not right. But I believe her when she looked honestly lost or confused about other things even the stuff Pietro "complimented" her on. She likes the "shangri La" she has created for herself and is determined to hold on to it at all costs which is in turn hurting other people and she will have to repent and seek forgiveness and redemption for that. But that doesn't mean something else isn't also benefitting from it or manipulating her. That doesn't mean she should get off scot free either.
It's possible that one of the twists will be that Dick Hayward is right about Wanda (and my extension Ross is as well) and Monica, Darcy and Woo are wrong to feel some compassion for her grief and we'll get gone nutty outright villain Wanda in DSIMoM but I don't think so.

Yawn. You know, if this were the first ep of this show, and we got all the important stuff from the prior 5 eps in 15 minutes, which is completely doable, it seems like one go-to move would be to have someone call, I don’t know, the Avengers? Probably at least one or two would be interested.
Logic continues to be suspended in the service of writers trying to be clever. The show goes for emotional swings in the absence of any reasonable connection.
Isn't that the way of most MCU movies though, more Avengers could/should show up, especially Tony for something like the Fall of SHIELD or Aliens in Greenwich? Or everyone when Tony was "killed" by a terrorist? Or Captain Marvel in IW and Endgame? Honest Trailers among others had a running bit once where they make fun of it.
Hayward doesn't like powered people and doesn't seem like the kind of guy to hand over whatever he's doing to someone else. He's not sharing the intel he has with his group and might be doing something really hinky with Vision. Woo even said he was overstepping his authority. It's less about logic and more about the people involved. He fired the trio when they questioned him.
Not to mention that it's only been a few days and for some of that they were just monitoring the situation and also SWORD did call in for outside help to start with. Monica and Woo are now going to find this possible Marvel Cameo to help.
I don't think this is for everyone and some will like it a lot better once they can binge watch but I personally can't imagine it starting with this or ep 4. I'm sure someone WILL edit it how you suggest at some point though.

Hayward is not only a dick, being needlessly dismissive of his colleagues and even throwing Monica's mothers death in her face (NOT COOL!) he is clearly a moron. Yeah, keep poking the super powered reality bending person who almost defeated Thanos with a stick, and see what happens. He also clearly has beef with people with powers, which I caught pretty much right away, down to the name SWORD. It presumably wasn't Maria's intention, but the name Sentient Weapon Observation and Response Division sounds super sinister, especially Hydra and the Accords mess. In general, people who refer to other people as "Weapons" do not turn out to have the best of intentions.
It could have changed from Worlds to Weapons after the Snap. One thing I caught after looking back at ep 4 was that he said half the remaining Astronaut program quit after the Snap because they lost their nerve which is what he accuses Monica of doing here. Might be nothing but he could have been forcing the non nukey people out of SWORD for a while now.
The thing is Monica was at no point in that particular conversation advocating holding hands and singing kumbaya with Wanda, just that she thought it was a good idea not to go in there with guns blazing without doing some more observation. Making Wanda part of the solution doesn't mean she gets of scot free. Granted, Hayward might already be gaining other intelligence with Pietro. Literally all she and Darcy said was lets not try and do exactly the same thing again that almost got you murdered by your own squad again. So yep he is a moron.
The fact that Monica has gone through so much in the last three weeks and is still functioning and trying to find a sensible and successful way out is a credit to her. And she has shown a lot of compassion for Wanda's grief which Hayward dismisses but is actually intelligence that SWORD could be using to formulate a plan that doesn't end with the entire town dead and Wanda alive and pissed off. He doesn't seem to care about any of the innocent civilians in there, even though they were his excuse before.

Maybe the commercial is supposed to represent that no matter how much you use yo magic! The people who are dead stay dead, it's not a real source of god like power? It was creepy. The Shark is temptation and false promises?
Also Agnes seemed like she was fully aware last episode like Herb was and this one she wasn't until Vision touched her.

I'm not going to scratch Agnes from the list just yet. I still think there's something off about her, even though I think she was also genuine in her "am I dead, because you're dead" moment. Interestingly we didn't see Town Overload Dottie directing the Halloween festivities though.

As always, wow and a hell of a lot to process! I still have very little idea of where this is going to end up, they're really good at explaining somethings and making it even more confusing.
So Wanda basically knows this isn't her Pietro and he's "whatever I'm just here to do the irresponsible, charming Uncle Jesse thing". And he's fully aware and telling her she "did the best she could in the scenario" keeping couples together, not brainwashing kids etc. That's why I don't think they're going to completely do the Wanda =the villain in this scenario, no matter how it shakes out. I might be wrong. Pietro was also kind of a dick in this, even if he did really just get yanked there from elsewhere to play the part.
Billy and Tommy were cute, especially with the explaining to the camera that Mary Kate and Ashley did A LOT of in their twin shows as well as the cool twin versus dorky twin. And I suppose MITM did it a lot. Great theme tune again and Agnes has been promoted to regular on the show!
Snack on Wanda's Magic to stay Alive! That wasn't for Vision or Pietro, something is using Wanda's breakdown for their own purposes. Pretty creepy with the kid unable to open the pot though.
Maria's cells are changing and getting powers! In time for CM2.
So Anges is dressed as a witch.., Hmm and seemed to be pretty big on the cackling. I thought there was something else behind that moment when she said "all is lost" like she's not just Angie from down the street who got caught up in this but I don't think she was faking her panic about being dead because she knows Vision is.
Vision has autonomy and his Vibranium is possibly Hayward's real target but he can't exist outside Westview. I that mind stone "real?" Hayward didn't seem shocked when he said "he really does want out" more going on there possibly and it was insanely callous to watch someone disintegrate even if he's supposed to be dead. Hayward has no feelings for people who are powered. Shades of anti mutant sentiment there. Why were the townspeople stopped when Vision went near them?
Hayward's just a dick, Woo was dead right there was no need to be demeaning about his colleagues just because they're throwing out sensible suggestions that don't fit with what he believes. I can certainly understand the Snap nearly brought the world to its knees but actually asking the questions rather than just nuking Wanda is the hard choice because it isn't simple.
So Wanda can expand the Hex and stop the people moving but she still doesn't remember how it started or anything concrete. The harder the show pushes "it's all Wanda" in Ep 6 the more I think it's going to be revealed to be something else as well as her even though she's clearly doing a lot of this. I don't think she's actually controlling the residents all the time. And she seemed genuinely confused at certain points about why Herb and others asked her if she wanted to do things differently. She definitely didn't seem angry that many of them are starting to openly walk around like they're actors in her sitcom. She can't be in all their heads.
I'll have a lot more thoughts later...

He always has a home in Wakanda
True but Wakanda might be going through its own turmoil post Snap and post T'Challa. And whilst he's certainly welcome there he might feel like he's constantly taking people's charity and feel unmoored with everything that's happened.
With Sam, there's a connection and action, even if their relationship is fraught at first and he lacks his own purpose.

So I got around to watching this and I enjoyed it. It probably was the best one so far and I was more interested in the case this week because of Matt Barr even though it's still only a tiny percentage of each episode.
I feel like we actually got to see a bit more of the true Cordell Walker this week as his family weren't quite so up his grill about things and he has some measure of closure over Emily's death (for now). However, I know it's Matt Barr and he's hella charismatic but Walker attempting to convince himself he was following intel was a pretty weak thread. I know he was proved right in the end but I was annoyed at half the episode for going "he's definitely guilty but...." That said if he saved one of her sons' lives I can see why Abilene might have a blind spot.
Micki's still my favourite. I really enjoy her partner chem with JP and they work well together and like each other, which is a relief, no big man child vs straight laced, uptight "shew" so far. I really enjoyed her an Bonham's brief moment in the barn. It looks like he could use the company this ep as well. James seemed to be less uptight about being by the book this ep, essentially shrugging "it's just Walker and Hoyt" and telling Micki to deal with it.
Liam and his fiance were cute with their scene together. Liam was less of a pain this ep but I did wonder if there was some left over apportioning blame in "it's your dad's call not mine". That said I was glad that the family have acknowledged that Cordell has an actual job and isn't on benders every time he can't pick up his kids and he picked up two drunk teens without a big issue.
Stella's storyline was heavy handed with both Hoyt and Micki's "friend" Garrison providing the cautionary tale. That said, working off the fine and community service might well
provide some storylineschannel her pain into something productive and help her understand her dad. Maybe. August continues on his trying to be perfect but also about to explode path, it's leaking out of him now. Great break dancing though.Hmm, Bonham and Abilene are going through a rough patch. It's good if it gives MP something to chew on but also I don't really care that much so far.
I like Odette Anabel and I'm glad she has a new gig but I still kind of wonder what the point of Geri is. It still feels a little like someone went "oh, wait we need an age appropriate attractive 30 something to play pseudo love interest to everyone because we're not saddling Micki with that!"
They in no way made JP and GP look 16 years younger than they are now. Everyone has access to SPN guys, we know what they looked like. I can provide evidence going back to Rory Gilmore's first crush. But holy irresponsible parenting. You try to make your nest egg by gambling against a known cheater!

Looks good! Sam and Bucky look like they have really great chemistry together, which isn't surprising.
Much more traditional Marvel than WV and it's interesting that in the original plan this would have come out first.
I was never really that fussed that Sharon didn't have a bigger part in the movies and beyond glad they didn't have a chance to have her get really romantic with Steve regardless of comics but I'm glad she's here to flesh her out a bit. I hope she's not a love interest.

So, let me just ask a simple question: Who cares about any of this?
Whether Wanda needs counseling and is controlling all this, or someone is controlling Wanda, what she is doing is confined to a small town. So either Wanda, as a hero, comes around and ends it, or whoever controls her has to do something outside the town and we learn more. Perhaps Wanda never decides to come out of it, but that wouldn’t be very Avenger of her.
So we have been watching five episodes worth of annoying parodies of past sitcoms because ....?
This show could start right now, in episode 6, with 10-15 minutes of set up, and we would have missed nothing.
For me personally, I really liked Both Wanda and Vision and their relationship in the movies and was extremely intrigued by this. When I realised it was a pastiche/homage to sitcoms I wasn't sure I was going to like it but the first two episodes just in the sitcomverse had me hooked. Like Darcy I got weirdly invested very quickly, even though I knew it wasn't real.
For a company that faces complaints that all their movies are the same (partly right, partly wrong) this was a bold move to prove they're more than one liners and big explosions. And it is interesting to see a huge company which has a lot of good will from its fanbase use that to do very untraditional things.
Sure you could just watch from this or ep 4 and miss nothing of the plot but IMHO, you miss a lot of the experience of seeing these characters in their "perfect" world with an ever present cord of wrongness about it. And I have really enjoyed trying to pick it apart and guess what's going on.
All of this is YMMV and some won't like it and some will like it much better once they can binge it all.

We've known for a while that he intended to work out his contract until S7 and then probably call it a day. He said as much when there was a lot of suspicion he might be leaving in previous seasons. I wouldn't call it a definite "DP exits" post but he's always seemed to set working his contract out as a goal. I also wouldn't be surprised if S7 is the end but you never know.
What happened with Brandon and Courtney had a lot more going on than just objectively "out of stories" I think. Not necessarily with them personally but in terms of what Klemmer was willing to write for them and now much they were paying them.

Are we sure Vision was dissected? I am rewatching and while I can kind of see that it looks like he’d been taken apart on the video, wouldn’t Jimmy or Monica or Darcy said something about that? It just seems really odd to me that they’d be talking about Vision’s living will and desire not to be a weapon while looking at images of him cut up on tables in that lab.
It's strange that no one said anything, at that moment. I guess the director was just blasting through anyone's objections and they were more focused on Wanda storming the facility. I can't imagine Vision's will being okay with being taken apart and studied even if he wasn't being made into a weapon -which he absolutely was there, especially when put together with Hayward and Monica's talk in ep 4 about weapons and threats. It was about making Wanda The Other and he wasn't even listening to Monica's actual intel about her mental state. I'd like to say he's worried about the civilians inside but I don't even think because the stunt with the drone could have backfired spectacularly.
There have been a couple of previous points were Darcy/Woo have been silent or misunderstood or glossed over something (or had the sitcom edited) because it's not time for that dramatic reveal yet. Like apparently conveniently not seeing Dottie pre her lady's club appearance but seeing Beverly before that or not realising that something was happening with Dottie even though the broadcast was edited.
I also don't think Wanda is editing this for "broadcast" but I might be wrong about that.

Social Media and Behind the Scenes: AKA Everything Else Not "News and Media"
in Arrow
Yeah I would not be bragging 9 years after the fact that the very first thing I said to a co-worker was "If you fuck this up I will fucking kill you!" I've heard it before so its not the first time she's told the story but it doesn't sound as funny as she thinks it does - I haven't listened to the audio so I don't know her tone of voice. All it does is tell me they got off on the wrong foot (we all know how SA really LOVES to be called out on stuff!!) and you were the one who got down graded almost immediately and let go and came back as a different character so its not a case of "well we had nothing to worry about".
She basically told everyone that they were assholes to each other and chucked a couple of platitudes in there.
It's not like SA has used this as a hilarious, awesome story about meeting KC.
Also I get that going to cons at the weekend when you've been shooting all week is probably not what you really want to do but if you're not going to be your best or are going to cancel at the last minute or leave early or whatever, maybe you shouldn't book them and just wait for hiatus. This goes for all actors. I know its a lot of money but do yourselves and your fans a favour.
