The dates and episode titles have gone up.
Great first episode of series 3 with the Mech Avengers taking on the Kaiju style beasts.
Nice to see Oscar Issac's Moonknigt and SImu Liu's Shang Chi back in the mix.
Can't wait for the next episode.

I really love that they're leaning into the wackier side of things in Marvel, at least with these early episodes. What If...? was always meant to be a means of exploring some of the sillier aspects of heroic storytelling.
The second episode was a fun story and great to see the return of the Celestials and and an Eternal.
The third episode was good, I think the Red Guardian is a bit too over the top for me, at least in the first half of the episode.
He calmed down a bit, which helped make the character a bit more watchable. When Goliath turned up that was a cool link back to Ant Man and the Wasp and a welcome return for Laurence Fishburne.
I appreciate the subtle use of the Alan Silvestri Avengers theme in a couple of episodes in this third series.

Okay, episode 3 was absolutely stupid amounts of fun.
Wait until you see episode 4, an absolute smorgasbord of characters and call backs.
What a ride, I loved it.

My actual expression through out a lot of it,

If you set aside a certain aspect, I enjoyed the characters brought back.
Wow! Episode 5 was fantastic. I would have loved to have seen that as a live action 6 episode mini series with all of the original actors back.
The scope and scale has really been elevated in this 3rd series. Such a shame it is the last but as they say, always leave them wanting more

Fun season!
Teeny tiny nits:
The voice directors need to pay more attention to the context of lines in order to direct relevant inflection. Too many lines were obviously read in isolation and did not emphasize the right words based on what had been said to the character immediately before.
Matthew Friend's Jeff Goldblum was a bit on the parody side but it was a wacky episode so I'll allow it.
His impression was very good though, and I had to look it up to be sure.

Another enjoyable episode. Not typically a fan of the Western genre but the addition of Shang Chi and Kate Bishop along with the technological upgrades to the train made it interesting.
I also liked the setup at the end of this episode for the consequences for The Watcher in the next episode.

The penultimate episode was great, it's all building towards an epic conclusion.
Can't wait for tomorrow's episode. It's going to be a bittersweet ending.

Agreed. The show has been consistently excellent from the get-go.

I enjoyed episode 6, but 7 is my favorite so far!
I won't give any spoilers but I thoroughly enjoyed the finale and hope that everyone enjoys it too.
This third series has been fantastic and a really nice bonus having a new episode to enjoy everyday over the Christmas holidays.
In our age of mass media and multiple forms of entertainment I think some people take for granted these creative efforts that are gifted to us.
Sure, there will be a lot of cynics out there who will jump on the hate train, because unfortunately this is the age we live in.
Sometimes it is good to stop and appreciate when something comes along that makes you forget the problems of the world for half an hour or an hour and let's you immerse yourself in a good story told with an engaging visual flair.

Pretty sure they only needed the shard to get to the Watcher's dimension, as the team's ship was capable of multiverse travel, but that's just off the top of my head. I would need to rewatch the episode again, or if you rewatch it drop the answer in here.

Yeah, she took the shard because she intended for herself and Ultron to go confront the Watchers in an effort to protect her friends. The pod she took was more than capable of getting to Ultron's universe without the shard.
