When Marvel announced a spinoff focusing on Agatha Harkness, the “nosy neighbor”-turned-wicked-witch from WandaVision, many fans were skeptical. “The only reason she has a series is because of that stupid song that was trending on social media,” one tweet reads. There is some merit to the criticism: “Agatha All Along,” written by Frozen songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, did become a popular meme for a few weeks in 2021.

But one earworm does not make a spinoff. Agatha All Along, the final name of the show after a long string of fakeout titles, doesn’t have the same status as other Marvel series. It isn’t the setup for a big hero or the prologue to a future movie. It has to prove it is worthy of its own existence.

Thankfully, Agatha All Along sees this as an asset, not a liability. It’s a campy, frivolous romp that balances WandaVision’s stylization with a mystical, episodic journey. But its low-stakes conflict challenges how we see the MCU as a whole: outside of the constant Easter eggs and inter-connectivity, is there room for a show that’s just fun and exciting?

NASA’s Artemis I mission brought back some very practical — and promising — information about protecting astronauts from radiation.

NASA engineer Stuart George and his colleagues recently delved into the data from dozens of sensors on the Orion capsule to learn more about what the Artemis I flight told us about Orion, astronauts, and space radiation, and overall the news is good for future Moon explorers. George and his colleagues published their work in the journal Nature.
