That’s crazy and while I don’t think it’s impossible that’s the direction this series will take I expect the twist/lore will be something else… although I have no idea what yet.

That’s fair, but it means they have some depth to their backstory. It’s not a you did me wrong, you’re dead. It’s a you did me wrong, but ?

Thanks!

I’m sorry that is Hans Sprungfeld.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Correct!

Who thinks this helps?

I think this helps. We’re talking opinion here. But to add data,

“I don’t know if we convince somebody to go Trump-to-Harris,” Duncan said. “I think we go from convincing somebody just sitting at home, not voting for anybody, to voting for Kamala Harris.”

That’s who I’m talking about. Those disillusioned with Trump. “I can’t vote Trump. I won’t vote for Biden or Harris.” But with enough time and endorsements, maybe they will.

I’m telling you, with first hand experience, that they do.

And again, no, an endorsement alone isn’t ever going to convince me. There are multiple things that can convince people.

Some people are going to stick with what they’ve always stuck with.

Some people are going to focus on personality, “Have a beer with” .

Some are going to look at policy.

And of course no one is simple, so it’s usually a combination of the above.

But those Republicans who have always voted Republican, who finally see Trump for what he is, are looking for an alternative. They’re not risk takers. They aren’t just going to vote Harris if they’ve decided they can’t vote Trump. If however they see others from their crowd do it, they are likely to follow along.

It’s not a contradiction, it’s a focus on Republicans.

I’m saying that endorsements like these convince Republican voters to vote for Harris.

For those who think there is no difference between the parties it may be less helpful. However if you’re truly standing in the middle, watching one side cross over to the other and only ever one side crossing over to the other, that should give you an idea of at least which way to start looking.

Of course I understand the cynic who just says everyone is just flip flopping around. For those folks endorsements aren’t the argument to make. Republicans voting for Democrats means they must be the same. In these cases it’s better to focus on policy or the individual. If I were an undecided voters who endorsed who wouldn’t sway me. Show me the policies, that’s what I’m looking for.

The Salem Seven were terrifying. I hope for an equally creepy fight in the future.

I’m surprised she stayed for the song and all. The town seems pretty spooked by the Hex.

Her having a green thumb was perfect. I hope she has a surprise role.

I assume the heart is Rio and it’s black because Rio betrayed Agatha in some way. Or Agatha betrayed Rio. (As a couple?) Rio seemed to want her dead, but was willing to give her a chance.

It was a fun callback but I’m glad it moved on quickly. I do think it was nice to help us understand the spell Agatha has been trapped in for 3 years and just how deep of a spell it was.

Nudity was a surprise but Agatha just owned it, it was hilarious.

In terms of Westview it seems like Agatha just acted out (various?) TV shows and the town thought she was a weird neighbor. Possibly a neighbor who handled the Hex less better than others. So if she asked a neighbor about a locket they just made up whatever they could and the spell she was under adjusted it a bit to fit.

If you’ve seen WandaVision & Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness you should be covered.

Shout out to Sharon (Debra Jo Rupp) for just going along witt the ride.

“There are no new ways?”

I get the vibe this show might introduce a few.

That’s the one!

I do.

I know people who voted for Trump because they’ve always voted Republican. Republican is their team, so they voted Republican. They assume Trump, as a Republican, will continue with standard Republican policies (which is generally true). They don’t like him as a person but just don’t pay too much attention to it.

If you mostly ignore Trump and just think of him as a generic Republican it makes sense. I was planning on voting for Biden before he dropped out because Democratic policy is generally what I’m voting for. Biden dropping out and Harris stepping in doesn’t really change my voting plan. I’m still voting Democrat, I’m still voting Harris. Is Harris my favorite choice? No. Is the Democratic platform my perfect platform? No. But is it the best choice given the options? Absolutely. (And I don’t say that as horribly negative thing, there are A LOT of positives from Harris/Democrats and I’m glad/excited to vote for her.)

BUT we know Trump isn’t a generic Republican and people can’t ignore EVERYTHING he’s done. Jan 6 being a big one. If you’re a Republican voter now you’re stuck. You can’t vote for Trump. But you want to vote Republican.

You’re a generic Republican voter. You see Bush admins, Regan admins, Cheney all say they’re voting for Harris. You voted for them previously. That gives you the opening to vote for Harris. That helps.

I want whatever candy you have.
