Good start to the season. I am surprised that they jumped a year, but it does make sense to give time for things to change.

I have lots of questions as to where they are going. This will be interesting.

It was nice to see Jennifer finally enjoying her powers, after all the angst in previous seasons, even though it was short-lived.

I was wondering why they were going through this storyline with Jennifer. I couldn't see the payoff, but it appears
that the actress quit and this was how they are going to explain the new actress.

That was a surprise. I had heard that China Anne McClain was leaving the series during the season, so I was expecting what looked to have happened at the end of the previous episode. I hadn't heard boo about

Jennifer being recast

. Leaks happen all the time; that it didn't this time was remarkable.

This week's episode was titled "Theseus's Ship" but they never referenced it. The creators just assumed that if you were interested you could do the research on your own if you didn't know the reference. You can also go to the season finale of WandaVision to hear a full discussion of that.

Series finale tonight. This season hasn't been up to the level of the previous seasons, but I'm going to miss this show.

Also, CW has passed on the Painkiller spin-off.

Yikes, I have a lot of catching up to do on this season, but I have always liked this show.

Same. Hopefully the full final season drops on Netflix in a few days the way previous seasons did.

Great series finale. There were a number of surprises.
