    Pretty decent

    Definitely a stronger episode in the season so far.

    We are on the road again... the next trial awaits and it absolutely splits our group more than before. Agatha being the point of focus this trial which deals with spirits and possession. We see teen find his own among the witches while the team take a blow.

    Yea decent episode, not seeing the power of a certain someone going forward being THEM but always optimistic. Cool visuals and a cool trial.

    Not super into the reveal and end of this episode but it could be cool so I will keep watching. Agatha being a compelling character but I would like a bit more of a serious tone mixed into those big moments I feel it's a bit too light.

    Good performances and cool visuals, 7/10.

    Well, The Suprise Reveal at the End wasn´t that suprising, but great

    Love The Show for as it is .

    The Reveal at the End was awesome, i love the actor and i just finished the 3. Season of Heartstopper.....

    Now i am very exited for the rest of the Season and how it all plays out, i really hope at the end of the season thinks for other Projects are going to be prepaired like Doctor Strange 3, Scarlet Witch-Movie or something else....

    The Hate the Show gets .... its annoying but in some cases i can understand it.... some parts of the show should be chanced for the better.....

    I Like how Agatha as the Main Character isn soft-washed, she is still an Evil With and they portray her that way

    8 / 10.

    Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power

    So the witches could had flown on their broomsticks all along. So why are they walking in the road. Flying is quicker.

    There had to be reasons for the flashback scenes when Agatha killed her mother and others in 1693.

    The Salem Seven are not far behind the witches hence why they try to fly away.

    With the use of a ouija board, Agatha's mother Evanora appears and tells the others that Agatha is evil.

    This time Alice uses her powers to expel Evanora. But not without consequences.

    The bottom line is and by the end, the episode hints at it. Apart from the teen, the witches are baddies. Agatha is evil, so you have a show where you really cannot root for them.

    Eh

    I always stay tuned every week for a new episode, hoping it's better than the last. This is probably the best episode of the show so far, but the series just has not worked for me. It is very cartoonish, like a live-action Scooby-Doo. The lines just feel very shallow and there is not enough development to care about the characters. Not saying I do not like a fun show, as I thought Hawkeye did a great job balancing the fun nature with actual good storytelling, and its not the actual character of Agatha, because her character was one of my favorite aspects of Wandavision. I will keep watching every episode, but they are all very predictable and too short to really care,

    Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power

    A show is only as interesting as the things that it sets in front of itself. A show like this prides itself on the questions that it asks and the season-long mysteries that it puts forth for the audience to grab onto and try to guess. If those questions or mysteries are not engaging, that's where the overall interest of the audience disappears and the show starts to feel like it is meandering. "Agatha All Along" is all about those mysteries and their overall impact. This episode is a perfect example of how execution is key when it comes to revelations; it didn't work here.

    This show has dappled its feet in the horror pool a few times, but has never fully embraced those roots until this episode. The simple setting of a treehouse and what looks like the depiction of a sleepover, immediately adds a creepy atmosphere that doesn't go away for a majority of the episode's runtime. And what follows is a game of Ouija and a very cool possession, all scary stuff that really puts the perspective on the horror elements. All of that is really good and it gives more depth and dimensions to the show and it's ever-switching tone. However, it's all wrapped in an episode that is too short for its own good, often rushes to conclusions, and isn't nearly given the time to really sink its teeth into the deeper information that is given to us. A look at Agatha's backstory and her complicated relationship with her mother is surely interesting, but it's the least of this episode's interests and therefore, feels done before it even begins. And that is despite a really good Kathryn Hahn performance, as she brilliantly balances humor and terror in a very creepy possession scene that is more "Evil Dead" than "Poltergeist," which works better for what this show is trying to do. And the big mystery of "Teen" and his identity is finally revealed here, unfortunately with mixed results, as it's not that difficult to predict who he will turn out to be and that the reveal came as the result of a very hollow character arc.

    "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power" serves a nice new tonal shift for the show, going more sinister than campy, and offering a cool atmospheric change. However, it all comes at the expense of a fully developed episode that actually moves the needle in a realistic way, switching out character development with a rushed twist instead.

    • Trivia
      When the witches first use the Ouija board, Agatha opens with, "Mother, Maiden, Crone, Spirits be known." However, this is out of order as the traditional arrangement is "Maiden, Mother, Crone" to align with the phases of the Triple Goddess. It's unsurprising when it's quickly revealed that she was faking Mrs. Hart's presence. Once Agatha starts over with true intent, she uses the correct wording, and the board connects.
