I ended up watching F&WS in bulk because I lost interest one episode at a time. Same with Wandavision. Loki I’ve been watching every week, so far. Will see if that stays the same.

I loved wandavision even watching week to week but it is definitely a good show to binge all at once, because those first two episodes are only 40 minutes and then it starts to pick up. People waste the same amount of time watching one episode of F&WS, but since it was split into 2 episodes people said it took too long.

After a second look it seems Wong may have been the guy fighting him, or another sorcerer.

I was telling a friend of mine while we were watching it that a movie is only so long therefore every action and every piece of dialogue means something especially when the camera rests on something or somebody explain something. So when enchantress talked about how some minds are a little bit harder to grasp and she has to create an illusion from a memory I think either she created the illusion of the ark exploding or Loki trick her with the same illusion.

This is a good show.

FYI there is an Amazing post credit scene this week. Things are getting weird and I’m all here for it.

Correct. That’s the impression I got and based on rumors of future movies that seems to be where they are heading.

Well so far my Wizard of Oz theory with the timekeepers holds up. Let's see if it's Kang or something else.

I really wanted to like this show but, I don't. Just not feeling it.

Also, the time keepers: bad CGI and could not understand a word of their mumbling. And we called the obvious, the time keepers were not real.

We actually have a surround sound system with subwoofer and sound bar and a brand new Smart TV.

The first time I watched it I had trouble hearing them too. But I watch again on a different device and heard them Very clearly. It was very strange.

Same. I watched on my theater setup and couldn't understand them at all. Watched it again on the "lesser" TV in my bedroom that doesn't even have extra speakers and I understood them fine. Odd.

As a sound bar owner, sometimes the "technology” in these things does too much. All the background noise and random acoustics and mood setting tones that are part of the score regularly drown out audio because even at $1,000 level bar there isn’t enough components to accurately blend together a true sound system. Weak TV speakers are like 80% vocals with some attempts at background noise which def makes the dialog much cleaner. 

so many times I find myself with the volume up high to get clear audio and then I’ll be in another room where the bass and other effects are drowned out by walls/distance and I’ll hear the dialog more clearly than I do sitting in the room where I was actually watching the tv

Different apps and content behave differently as well, and some shows and movies aren't mixed properly.  A big pet peeve is when the dialog is so low you can't hear it so you crank up the volume then it switches to LOUD music or action explosions and you have to turn it down real fast.  Or when the score is way louder than the dialog over it and hard to hear.  We've played with the audio settings different ways and you get it just right then a different show or app behaves differently.

What's the purpose of a sound bar plus surround sound? Or do you have a sound bar with extra components?

That's actually not how sound works, but good try

Sound bar under TV facing you, subwoofer on floor behind you, 2 little surround sound speakers behind you at ear level left and right. 

Example from Google:

I liked the alligator variant.  REG does deliver in his cameos and supporting roles.
