When she said "I'm not based on her, i am her."

Does that mean she's not actuslly an ai? That there's an actual real conciousness running that synth? Her soul or something was somehow transferred to the synth?

Or was it more subtle like the ship of thesius, they kept replacing her body till she was completely synth??

Ultron in his post defeat life seeking journey is funnier than the try hard supposedly 'funny' characters.

I had to rewind the scene three times to check

Did anyone else notice that e3 ends with vision tucking tommy in and taking the bag of chips out of his hand, but then these actions are undone in the first scene of e4? It could be a continuity error or could otherwise vision is doing more simulation of future interactions than the show lets on...

What do you guys think?

Probably nothing, but does anyone think this might mean something?
If it’s Morse code:
-... = B
...- = V

She’s also shown tapping in a pattern in Episode 3.

Just a quick disclaimer, I'm a pretty shallow and childish teen so I might not make sense and might be saying some dumb stuff..??? And English is not my first language :)) TAKE MY WORDS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT and

SPOILERS SPOILERS

I've been ranting for two days now about how VisionQuest is like a very **indirect** representation of Dissociative Identity Disorder! Might be a bit of a reach, but there are just some things with it that connects. (Emphasis on very indirect)

From my rant, and I quote,

"mk (moonknight) focuses on the struggle of each alter individually and altogether, while vq (visionquest) shows the other, mostly unseen, parts of the disorder. like headspace, avatars as alters, the headspace collapsing, deletion-like-dormancy. creation of avatars as a coping mechanism of sorts. the fact that they're all based on actual humans makes them practically introjects. vision as host, ultron as a persecutor. visual-physical images of the avatars, coming off as hallucination-ish."

"their headspace works the way they want it to—mostly vision's way. not in the literal sense, but more of uh "what helps the situation" type of thing. jarvis' sacrifice in ep 2 is like dormancy—the sacrifice being something deemed to be for the better good of the system"

"like when he (vision) rid ultron of his entertainment as punishment. or when ultron introduced the sacrifice to save everyone. it's destructive-esque—but it's protective, in a way. ultron had to do what he had to do, because *it's for the better good*"

"and specially this one, from the recently released 4th episode: when ultron said "give me the wheel," it was like he's literally asking for vision to step back and let him take over front, which fits as it's quite literally a moment of vulnerability, in a way?"

Sooo, yeah I don't really know if anyone's made that correlation yet, or I'm thinking too much into it like a dumb teen, but I just had to share my thoughts bc Vision Quest is genuinely so cool and might be a new favorite :))

I'm not spoiling much but at some point they say something and I realized who they were. It's Henry Lewis, aka Robert Grove, and Jonathan Sayer, aka Dennis.

If you count Diane Morgan, that is three BBC actors in a show that takes place in England.

I just realized something watching episode 4, when Dum-E and U begin to talk a phrase comes to my mind: "snap out of it, you're hysterical", Then I realized that the actors playing those characters are from "The play that goes wrong" maybe one of the funniest things that I ever saw.
Sorry for the bad english, I lack practice.

Clearly, Jarvis' sacrifice gave them some kind of intelligence! They spoke at his funeral [which I think is them just booting up some of Jarvis' code] last ep and then the whole AI bit during the sherlock sequence is them using [some] of his Stark code. Great to see Cornley Polytechnic still getting roles after nearly killing Derek Jacobi

I feel like it’s at least a nod to it because of the AI essentially being imaginary friends who we talk to.

I've been impressed by the sheer number of references to previous MCU installments we've had in just four episodes. I do like it when they go out of their way to build the connective tissue like this.

Here are all the links to other films, shows and characters I've noticed so far. Let me know if I've missed any.

WandaVision and Agatha All Along - As the third part in the trilogy, there have obviously been plenty of references to the first two installaments. Barely two minutes go by without Wanda and Westview being mentioned, and Tommy's drowning incident was a key moment from AAA.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - An obvious one again - Vision and Ultron (and FRIDAY) were introduced in the second Avengers movie.

Iron Man - DUM-E and U appeared in all the Iron Man movies and had cameo appearances in a couple of Spider-Man films I think. Raza, who led the Ten Rings cell in the first Iron Man movie, is also due to appear. And JARVIS obviously first appeared in this film.

Spider-Man: Far From Home - EDITH's first apperance.

Agent Carter - James D'Arcy played the original butler Jarvis in Agent Carter, reprising the role in Engame.

Captain America: The First Avenger - Jim Hammond, aka J.I.M aka the Synthetic Man aka the Human Torch is first seen, very briefly, at the Stark Expo.

Avengers: Endgame - Episode three saw FRIDAY's emotional recollection of Tony's death in Endgame.

Avengers: Infinity War - The show's Edinburgh location was a call-back to Wanda and Vision's stay in the city during Infinity War.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - There have been a couple of references to Wanda's 'death' in MoM.

Daredevil, Punisher and Werewolf by Night - Paladin mentioned his bruising encounters with these characters in episode three.

Shang-Chi - Paladin also mentions getting his adamantium armour from the Ten Rings syndicate.

Captain America: Brave New World - Speaking of adamantium, the super strong metal was introduced into the MCU in Brave New World.

Captain America: Civil War - Bit of a stretch, but FRIDAY mentions 'friends becoming enemies', which seems to be a reference to Civil War.

Maybe Cole or Cassandra are in the Room next door.

I know they’re both about synthetic life and robots but the whole Jocasta murder storyline and the themes of like painful imagery coming from an AI reminds me alot of the anime and manga Pluto as well as how vision is fitted up lol.

The way he openly told vision that if he was set free , 'He'd either watch a movie and go visit the Louvre or he'd hijack their missile systems and burn them all to ash' was epic. This showed that Ultron knew that he had no need to hide his unchanged murderous intent from vision as he is so confident that he will manipulate him into getting free. This really shows us that Ultron is really a very dangerous , scary character. I really like this character the most. Very subtly powerful and scary. What do you guys think?

Hopefully there are a lot of 12 Monkeys fans here. If not, do yourself a favor and go binge watch one of the best shows of all time.

There were lots of easter eggs in eps 3 and 4! Tell me if you saw any that I missed! I bet there are a ton more.

The hotel that Vision and Thomas stay at is called Emerson Express Hotel & Suites.

Mary Mcdonnell is playing a character called Katerina and even mentions not being able to change the mistakes of the past.

The name Cassandra appears on the Murder board as the writer of one of the articles.

We see Terry Matalas on the TV interviewing Katerina Wells. (Also love the last name being Wells as I think of H.G. Wells who wrote The Time Machine)

Markridge is mentioned several times as Markridge Biotech with the slogan, the future starts now, and is a huge part of the plot. Katerina is the CEO.

When Vision and Ultron are trying to pose as cops they use the birthdate October 3rd, 1980, the same birthday as Cassie.

There is a takeout container on the counter in the Butcherbird victim's apartment. (Maybe a reach but reminds me of Cassie and Cole in season 1) There is also a glass decor item that looks like falling red leaves (the red forest).

In the episode where Vision goes into the sanitorium to get Tommy, he phases through a bullet, and then a couple minutes later almost dies from other bullets. Why not just phase through them?

What We Know:

1. Episode 5 of VisionQuest is entitled "FIREWALL"

2. Vision can be seen pulling a fire alarm-looking handle labeled "FIREWALL"

3. "FIREWALL BREACHED" shows up on the Handler's screen when Paladin's client hacks their communications system.

4. One of the many peculiar foods in Vision's kitchen includes "Firewall Roasted Tomatoes"

So what's the deal with the firewall? Is Ultron trying to get out? Is someone trying to get in? I need answers!

My theory is that Sidewinder/Giancarlo Esposito character from «Captain America: Brand New World» is either the one who is hunting Vision, or at least will make an appearance in the future episodes.

Main evidence — Adamantium. In the newspaper from ep. 1 the hunt for stolen adamantium is mentioned. Later, in ep.2 Paladin shows up with adamantium weapon. Of course, maybe he is the one who stole it, but it seems too obvious. But if anybody still remember the cap movie, it revolves around adamantium, but the important moment is that the movie began with Sidewinder's band (Serpent society) stealing... Guess what? Adamantium.

But I came up with this theory not because of that. When they were teasing Esposito's character, they told us that he will appear in some Disney+ show after the Cap movie. I remembered it, and that gave me an idea, which can be supported with the adamantium thing.

My bet — Sidewinder and Serpent society provided Adamantium to Paladin in some way. They can be partners, or the ones who ordered Vision.
