I'm glad Disney+ is dropping an episode per week instead of the entire series at one time like Netflix.

I think it works well for Wandavision. I don't think it worked well at all for season 1 of The Mandalorian. I am not convinced it worked well for season 2 either.

I liked it one episode at a time with Mandalorian as well.

For season one the episodes were so short and there was not a good story arc over the season I would have to disagree. There was nothing making me want to see what happens in the next episode based on the previous episode. The only desire to continue watching for me was "this show is eventually going to get good."

We definitely had a different season 1 experience. For me, Season 1 wasn't "this show is eventually going to get good" but rather "this show is awesome from the very start".

Comparing it to anyone other season 1 show that I think did well, I don't think it makes top 25. In no particular order.
Lost, The Walking Dead, Wandavision, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Stranger Things, The Witcher, Game of Thrones, Heroes, Americans, Mad Men, Westworld, Mistfits, Twin Peaks, His Dark Materials, Spy, It Crowd, Picard, Once Upon a Time, The Handmaid's Tale, Hannibal, Silicon Valley, Boardwalk Empire, Six Feet Under, The Boys, Rome, Sherlock, and The Umbrella Academy.
Now they all might be good in later seasons, but I think they all did a much better job of getting me hook in the first season. They either had a better story and/or better characters that made me want to watch the next episode because I cared about the show. For The Mandalorian I wanted to care about the show, but didn't until the second season.

No worries, everyone's tastes are different, and I'm sure nearly everyone has a unique top 25 list. Mandalorian (including Season 1) would be on mine.

I read an article presenting the theory that the Quicksilver that appeared is not actually Pietro, but is ..... LOKI! This would allow them to connect to the upcoming Loki show, possible Dr. Strange 2, the next Thor movie, etc.

Interesting theory, but it would be hard to convince me why Loki would show up. What is there for him to gain by showing up? Remember the Loki is 2012 Loki...with the Tesseract

I also read that it might not be Quicksilver at all, but just someone in town (maybe Ralph) reprogrammed to think he's quicksilver, and the resemblance is just an Easter egg coincidence.

The idea was that Loki was being forced to work for the TVA (Time something Authority) and he is manipulating Wanda to have her free him. Then he wipes the Authority out, which allows the rise of Kang.

The V stands for Variance.

Yes anything is possible, but you try to get anything like that done in 4 episodes seems very unlikely. To be clear what I mean is just explaining Loki there would derail the entire show with so little episodes left.
