In Living in Harmony, a 1967 episode of The Prisoner, viewers already baffled by the show’s various mysteries were further flummoxed by what seemed to be an entirely different iteration of the series. That week, Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) was not a retired spy in the cosily sinister Village but a troubled sheriff in a western town called Harmony.
At the end of the episode, it transpired that the protagonist was in a virtual-reality simulacrum of the sort of TV western that was already going out of fashion. McGoohan and company were evoking a behind-the-times genre for one episode… though there were no prizes for being ahead of the times, not least in doing a virtual reality story decades before the term was coined.

The scourge of comfort TV will ruin us all. Those lucky enough to retreat from the world will bury themselves in delusions of yesteryear, streaming old shows until their existence resembles a neverending binge. Their life becomes eternal cosplay untouched by cruel reality. When anyone suggests this is not very healthy behavior, violent outbursts erupt.
This, it turns out, was sort of the story of
WandaVision: Nostalgia as a weapon, lobotomizing you senseless or bombing your neighborhood back to the cultural stone age. In suburban Westview, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) created a memory-shard version of Vision (Paul Bettany), and mind-hexed a population into her supporting cast. Meet your new neighbor: An invader, body-snatching. In the darkness on the edge of town, government officials kept running outside to stare dangerously at Wanda's red wall. Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) wanted to help. She got back-up from Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) and Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings). There was also another Vision, remember? The finale forgot all about him midway through. Guess Wanda hexed the writers.
