Did Sharon seriously use a chemical attack on that guy in the van? His skin did not look good. If she's not an imposter than I am totally done that character. She's got to be a pod person, right?

All right. Walker made one good choice in six episodes. He should have been prosecuted for the murder he committed, but heroes give second chances. That's kind of their thing. I wonder what Val has up her sleeve for him?

Sam's speech, dear lord, that was so good. "The only power I have is that I believe we can do better." Loved it. Every bit of it. I have no questions, only gooey amounts of love.

I loved that it ended with a community BBQ!

Please react, question, discuss, and capslock in the comments. Play nice and be aware that not everyone wants spoilers for future episodes or have read/watched the same articles and interviews.

You've pointed out so many of the things I loved!!!!!!!!!

Is this what going nuts feels like? - Maybe, but I am here with the popcorn for all the conspiracy theories! : )

Is Val supposed to be annoying? - IDK, but wow I can't stand the scenery chewing. At least not like that. I think I would enjoy watching Bucky and Sam being irritated by her!

Until I find out, I shall think of her as Padmé. - I'm actually just doing a rewatch and finished Revenge, so my brain immediately blurted out a TOO SOON and I had to wtf it, because it's been 15 years! Yeah, she didn't get anything to do except be a cheering cardboard cutout for Walker. I wonder what he would have done if literally any of his support system had stood up to him to tell him he did wrong.

But didn't he want to remain anonymous?! - I saw somebody else say that since he was legally declared dead, he must have been living under an fake name. So as long as they don't have any recent pics of him, he'd be able to keep on keepin' on for as long as he cared to.

I don't think they'll ever give Bucky another like official superhero name. White Wolf in the comics is somebody else who was not on the up and up. I don't think he has to constantly see himself as irredeemable (that BBQ showed he's come a long way and I WILL NEVER BE OVER HOW DORKY HE IS) but I don't think he can ever forget either, and maybe he thinks the victims of the Soldier should be remembered too.

I kinda miss being a casual MCU fan, when the outcome of theories didn't mean much to me. On the other hand, it is fun to speculate and fangirl with others. I just wish comms here were more active.

Hehe, I'd enjoy watching Bucky and Sam being irritated by Val too!

I wonder what he would have done if literally any of his support system had stood up to him to tell him he did wrong.
Oooh, interesting question. Hopefully we'll see that in the future (and it'll go better for Mrs. Walker than for Padmé)

Ah, thanks for the explanation about Isaiah.

I found this interview where Malcolm Spellman talks about "White Wolf" actually having been included in the title card at one point!
