It's interesting The show on the surface level seems to be Wanda punishing herself by putting herself in a sexist society that traps her in Betty Friedan domestic servitude etc But it's also clearly a fantasy of being needed, of having a job that matters

It's interesting how you bring that up, because in all other aspects the show seems to have whitewhashed (literally, in the first episode) the bigotries of the time into this perfect suburban idyll. Wanda seems to want to create a paradise *around* her, but not *for* her.

Right, it's interesting that the 1950s lifestyle she initially built the fantasy around means that even though it's a fantasy for her and Vision to be together, it's a fantasy that keeps them separated for most of the day

And the nature of Vision's fake job seems to be to distract him and keep him busy so he has something to talk about when he comes home other than asking Wanda awkward questions about the nature of their reality

Yeah, though time is also somewhat nonlinear there. I'm not sure how long Vision actually goes to work for, whether he's working 8-hour days or just kind of zipping right back so he can come home.

He said in the last episode "I'm not going to sleep so you can change everything overnight again." So I think it has literally been the four days we've seen in the four fake episodes.

Yeah, although we know Wanda didn't steal his corpse four days ago, right?

The Director dude said 9 days ago, so whilst the show presents itself as this timeless artifact, in the 'real world' it's been, like, a week and a half.

It also looks like SWORD is seeing WandaVision episodes that we’re not seeing. The show goes deeper than what we’ve seen.

It's 'imprinted on the CMBR' for some stupid reason.

It's because whatever Wanda is doing to maintain the simulation is using "the Power Cosmic"

I mean, yes. But if it was affecting the CMBR, it would be observable everywhere in the Universe, rather than just in Westlake. And I don't think the detector thing would measure it anyway. It's background radiation!

I mean, this is all fairly pedantic. But it still doesn't work.
