Love in Taipei (2023) Review
When Ever Wong is thinking her summer before medical school will be great, her parents send her from Ohio to Taiwan on a study programme to help study Mandarin and culture. Although the fact that the teens call it “Loveboat” then maybe it will be enjoyable after all?

So Rob Thomas killed Logan off, not only because he didn’t think Veronica could be a strong independent woman and be in a happy, committed relationship (🙄), but also because he thought she had gotten over too much of her trauma and needed more for the show to be interesting and for Veronica to have the same crappy personality. And then he skips forward a year in the last 10 minutes, but I wish he could see the future, because if he could see 2020 he would know that he didn’t need to create more trauma for her, because the whole world was about to become a dumpster fire anyway.
Also can we please get a prequel book.

When I mentioned the whole bit about Sam and Bucky being pinball protagonists in TFATWS, it did make me realize that of the three live action D+ shows we've gotten pre-Hawkeye, WandaVision's the only one that didn't have a pinball protagonist (Wanda is the one driving the plot almost the entire time, with Vision, then Agatha, then Monica, then Hayward in order of influence).
Yes that’s true.
It’s actually illuminating when you read this article from the head writer Jac Schaeffer:
…as it turns out, being a mother was my best asset on this job. It made me organized, commanding, empathetic and nurturing. More than anything, it’s how I connected to Wanda. She’s a powerful woman under immense pressure who just wants to do right by her children. I know her fear, I know her anxiety, and I know her love.
She connected with Wanda. She sympathised. She understood what motivated her. She felt Wanda’s fears and anxieties and love. She rooted for her. This is why she could craft such an empathetic story around the titular character…as opposed to the other two stories.
She also comes across as incredibly humble. Look at her acknowledging everyone in the writers’ room for their input.
But the piece of advice in the forefront of my mind was this: “It’s not your job to have the best ideas in the room. It’s your job to be the keeper of the vision.” That I knew I could do.
The tone, the look, the feeling and even the sound of this series was already etched on the inside of my heart. I knew where it started and where it ended. But all the details — the precise rules of the world (Peter Cameron! Megan McDonnell!), the sitcom overlay (Mackenzie Dohr! Gretchen Enders! Chuck Hayward!), the narrative pivot points (Bobak Esfarjani! Cameron Squires! Clay Lapari!), and the nuance and poetry of Wanda’s grief (Laura Donney! Laura Monti!) — this was uncharted territory.
That’s how the head writer should be. Not trying to one-up or take credit for everything that happens, but keep their hand on the steering wheel while acknowledging other writers have specific qualities that adds to the story.
