I’m in the “there are more episodes than they’re telling us” camp. Given that they seem to be structuring it in 3 episode arcs, it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a massive twist in episode 9 that then requires a final 3 to resolve.

That's really difficult to pull off. Show production is usually over long before a series airs, and post production involves a _lot_ of people. The number of episodes for a 'season' is usually fixed when its greenlit and rarely ever changes, because a change is a huge wave that hits thousands of schedules.
Keeping it a secret almost becomes an impossibility, just for the sheer number of mouths involved. (The full cast and crew credits is 47 pages of names (copy/paste the IMDB page into Word), and that's just people who are acknowledged as working on the show, and doesn't include their friends/family, other people in the various workplaces and etc.)

When Sherlock ended with a very bad finale, people thought that there must be this hidden secret 4th episode that actually makes the entire show good.
It kept changing dates and stuff, but those dates came and went with no good finale.
No spoilers this week. You’ll just have to watch and froth!
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and there’s a mid-credits bit. Thought I’d share that, as I recall a few peeps missed the same at the end of Mando Season 2.

Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
One thing I did like? And it’s a completely background thing....
Spoiler:
When Vision is catching up with Darcy (mmmm. Darcy) in the circus, there’s a boot/standee thing with “Trick The Guesser” (might’ve been fool the guesser). I’m thinking that was a definite nod and a wink to us the viewer. Or I’m reading too much into this, and am just a bawhair away from wearing a tinfoil hat and treating infowars as a credible source of information

There is one thing about this show I do want to complain about, and that’s the screen dimensions. It annoys me that to go back and forth from old and wide screen, they cut off the top and bottom. When they’re doing the sitcom thing and it’s old school squarer framing, leaving empty space on the sides, I’m ok with that, they’re emulating a style. But when they switch back to the real world instead of filling those to go wide frame, they cut off the top and bottom of the picture, so there’s just empty space all around it. It bugs me greatly.
Agatha Harkness is heavily involved with the Scrier. The Scrier is a cosmic being that has an interest in the Nexus of all Realities. Nexus, from the commercial. Where is this town at exactly? Any signs of Man-Thing?

The "real world" is the cinematic universe and that is a cinematic aspect ratio. It is a streaming show about television shows set within a movie.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Wanda is a/the Nexus being. Unlike, say, Pietro who we've seen exists in more than one form, she is a universal constant throughout the multiverse. This is almost certainly what it's hinting at.

Yes, but I would rather they used the cinematic ratio as the default, to fill the screen, and then chop off the sides when they go to the television ratio, instead of the cinematic ratio having so much wasted space.
The doors in Agatha's basement lead to multiverse versions of Westview. One door leads to the 50s, one to the 60s, 70s etc. Agatha is actually somehow using Wanda to contain it but as her hold over Wanda is slipping somehow the multiverse versions are becoming unstable.
It isn't Wanda's magic that is making objects phase in and out of eras, it's the whole town of Westview phasing in and out of multiverse versions of itself. The one thing remaining constant is Wanda? That's why Pietro was the Evan Peters version and appeared in the 80s/90s sitcom versions which is the era his character was in in the X-Men movies? This is just a speculation of where it's going and I'm not sure it works but somehow they obviously are going to explain the multiverse in preparation for the Dr Strange movie?
The square ratio (4:3) is narrower than widescreen TV, hence the bars down the side. The cinematic ratio is something like 2.39:1, wider than a widescreen TV (16:9 or 1.78:1), so you get empty screen along the top and bottom.
why the big drama around revealing that she's Scarlet Witch? Haven't we known that since the chracter first joined the MCU? Unless The Scarlet Witch is something new/different?
Second, didn't the SWORD director tell Rambeau that Wanda broke into SWORD and stole Vision's body? The replay of events in this episode is somewhat different (and much less provocative from Wanda).

As for the “wait, didn’t he say she nicked Vision?” thing. The last episode showed he was tracking Vision specifically, and had been telling porky pies.
Not sure if you clocked it, but there’s a mid credits scene for episode 8 which confirms Wanda didn’t pinch Visions bits and bobs.
Apologies this reads as “snorts, pushes glassed back up nose with index fingers”.
Both are easily overlooked/unnoticed

The Scarlet Witch is a title that is passed on much like Sorcerer Supreme, except this is a family thing. By naming her The Scarlet Witch, that means her Mother was as well. Which we did not know about before. The implication was the Mind stone gave her and her brother their powers. Turns out, that was a lie.

I think it's less of a lie and more of an incorrect assumption.
Spoiler:
The line of dialogue is something like 'if it were for your exposure to the mindstone amplifying your powers, your nascent abilities would have withered, dead on the vine.'
So I guess the mind stone acted like caffeine for magic.
Damn, that Episode 8 credits scene. The entire episode was great, but that really caps it off and makes me mad I can't immediately binge the next one!
"By this point I'm convinced 100% that every single race in the 40k universe have somehow tapped into the ork ability to just have their tech work because they think it should."
Given the outline shown when she was subject to the stone, it could also be interpreted that a different version of herself kickstarted her powers perhaps
I'm curious what will happen with vision meets vision, and if we will see some kind of fusion or something so that he can exist outside the town/be available for future mcu projects
I would have liked a few minutes to see what happened with monica, unless they showed something and i overlooked it
