Okay, so I have to say this show has a problem with gravitas. Nothing matters personally, none of the characters. I've got kind of a big shrug going on.
I liked the opening to this episode, since it actually started to dig into emotional wells set up by prior story lines -- about damn time, why did it take four episode to get something this powerful, aside from maybe 1-2 other moments out of 135 minutes of story? -- but the rest drops into the predictable.
There's some sense of chaos, at least, because you've got about 5-6 different little factions each with their own aims who are momentary allies of some and enemies of others. So there's a number of breakout fights here.
And finally an expected part of the storyline has occurred, involving Walker (both parts).
But I think the story has been mismanaged in general. it's not a bad show. it's not a good show. Meanwhile, it had the potential to be great.
Part of it is how it's dealt with Walker. We barely get any backstory on the guy. We don't really get a true sense of how his INTERNAL compass is tortured and negative, it's merely an indicator or two on the surface level. So when everything goes down this episode, who cares? it's like they leaned into the comic books doing all the work, so they didn't bother to really make the character come alive on the screen. Basically, instead of wasting time on so much pointless junk and chess pieces moving about a boring stage, why not do some character development on him, so that even if you don't agree with him, his fall from grace seems tragic and you feel some sympathy for the guy? Remember, CARING about a character means they continue to generate emotion, even if you end up hating him. The worst thing for a story is having the audience remain indifferent to everyone, including a potential villain.
(Compare to the Incredibles -- we see how Buddy was a good even if annoying kid early -- he had aspirations to be heroic. He eventually becomes vile, but we understand why because what Bob did to him was a hurtful wound and disillusionment. We even understand why Bob did what he did, and like with many parental figures and heroes, Bob's callousness had nothing to do with Buddy and he had his own issues to work out. Anyway, we actually get a back story, can see how a guy took a villainous turn, and even empathize with him a bit. But this show can't be bothered with making you care about John Walker at all.)
This is just a forgettable series I feel like I'm watching so I understand the logistics of how everyone ended up where they got, so I am prepared for later stories. At least there was an underlying sense of melancholy, hope, loss, and love in Wandavision, even if the finale kind of dropped most of the ball aside from Wanda and Vision's last scene together.
