Last Warning Spoiler Alert
I am truly amazed how well this series is developing and then this most recent episode -Episode 8 aka Previously On Just freaking WOW but then they come up with the best line:
"What is Grief, if not love persevering!" That is the line that will echo for along while especially during this time.

(7,820 posts)The acting is phenomenal. The storytelling is really good. And its been a long time since Ive watched a show where so many people *needed* to talk about it on this level whenever a new ep drops.

Great scriptwriting. I feel, given the previous 19 movies, they earned the slow burn set up which has paid of in spades.

(15,374 posts)But it balances perfectly between comic fan service, movie fan service, capturing the different TV eras perfectly, moving the MCU forward, etc. while telling a compelling story. I've really enjoyed watching some YouTube reaction/speculation videos, and it seems like very few or even none could correctly guess what all was going to happen especially with white Vision though most guessed the Agnes is Agatha connection. And with one more episode to go, there's a lot to wrap up - not with just the Visions, Wanda, and Agatha but Monica Rambeau (Photon), Hayward, Pietro/Fietro, the twins, etc. I'm really hoping that they don't go the Mephisto route like so many people are thinking. I always found the whole, "Hey, let's have Spider-Man/The Avengers/etc. fight the Devil," stories silly.

You can view Mephisto more like Hela or Dormammu. He is not Satan.
I think Mephisto would be too much ground to cover with the final episode. I am not sure, without the foundation, that it works for a setup to the Dr. Strange movie (which will be the sequel of this series).
I would prefer that it be Wanda as the big bad for Dr. Strange. I am not sure they have the guts to go that direction, and I hate using Elizabeth Olsen up, but her story may be coming to an end in Dr. Strange.
