VisionQuest just let Ultron off the leash — Chanel, Brandon & Sharmane recap Episodes 3 & 4 and the arrival of Jocasta. 🔴Welcome back to We Was Watching, the podcast where Chanel, Brandon & Sharmane break down the shows everyone's talking about. This week we're recapping VisionQuest Episodes 3 & 4 — the Disney+ chapters where White Vision (Paul Bettany) edges back toward his lost humanity and Ultron makes his move.We get into ALL of it: Vision's malfunctioning processors and the physical comedy that comes with them, the deepening father-son bond between Vision and Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) — including that hotel-pool reboot — and how Vision finally stops drawing a hard line between his past and present selves. We break down James Spader's Ultron stepping to center stage, manipulating his way into "taking the wheel," and predictably betraying his family the first chance he gets, plus the richer lives of the AI supporting cast: F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Orla Brady), E.D.I.T.H. (Emily Hampshire), and even D.U.M.-E. and U. And we talk the handoff from bounty hunter Paladin (Todd Stashwick) to the show's new central threat, Jocasta (T'Nia Miller) — who she is, why she's so sympathetic, and what Ultron's fascination with her means heading into Episode 5. Full spoiler-filled review, breakdown, and ending explained.Hit play and watch along with us. ▶️👍 Enjoyed this recap?

Plus the Halogram resisting Sinestro's resurrection deal, Hal's bittersweet "I love you too, Junior" goodbye, Guy Gardner's return, and John finally taking the oath on his own terms to become Earth's Green Lantern. We talk Sinestro's loose ends, the yellow "fear" lantern, what it means that John's next appearance is in 2027's Man of Tomorrow, and whether Season 2 is happening.
