I was just finally able to watch it and I loved it! Some of the stuff at the end was pretty spot on as far as Marvel ("Everyone signs the NDA"). Did anyone else think something happened to the program for a split second?

Not really. I thought the program selection screen meant we the viewers were tuning out and looking to watch something else and she was going to poke out and talk us into coming back. I wasn't expecting the 4th wall break to be so literal.

So...... needless to say, I have been somewhat conflicted with this show.
Watched every episode somewhat begrudgingly.
The finale, as is usual for Marvel, DID actually bring it home.
Without the finale I probably would have had more negative opinions of this show; but, now I'm fully on board.
To say the show was different would be an understatement.
It seemed to lack direction.
It was SO atypical of Marvel.
The finale showed that being atypical was the exact purpose of the show, and I loved it for that.

Many thanks to haxemon for the occasional mentions of the show being true to the source material. Kept me engaged in my worse times of doubt. As to that respect of the source material: I found the following on Twitter:

The show was truly a comedy and Tatiana was perfect. The cast all worked well together and you could tell there was plenty of good chemistry on set.

Since everything is connected, what permanent connections will come from this show?
DD is obvious as we are now aware of his future
Will Blonsky have a more important role in the future or will he forever remain comedy relief............. or is that the last we'll see of him?
Not familiar with Skaar, so I don't know his role (if any) in the Marvel Universe
Did I miss anything?

Star Wars didn't change my life, but the special effects gave me A New Hope!

My thoughts here (and glad you hung with it and that it payed off for you):

I feel like there will be threads throughout other projects in that "someone" is pulling some strings. Could K.E.V.I.N. be something that Kang put together? The Wrecking Crew (minus Wrecker himself) were at the meeting at the end, so I still think there's an inner circle of sorts that's going to remain beyond Todd. Todd might be just a patsy similar to Trevor Slattery in IM3. I'm not clear on how involved Blonsky really is. I don't buy that he's generally reformed but also didn't realize what the group was up to that he was hosting and speaking to.

Skaar (in short) comes about in the comics after the Planet Hulk storyline that was loosely weaved into Thor 3. In the comics, Hulk was exiled from Earth and that's how he ended up on Sakaar. He became champion but then worked to help overthrow the leaders of the planet and took over. His wife gets killed by a bomb that Hulk blames on the Illuminati (who exiled him) so he goes back to Earth to get revenge (World War Hulk). He doesn't know then that his son survived. Skaar ends up as part of the Young Avengers in the comics (or maybe New Avengers in that iteration) so Skaar could definitely show up in future films/phases with Casie Lang, Kate Bishop, America Chavez, Eli Bradley (young black kid from Cap and Winter Soldier D+ series), Wanda's sons, Riri Williams and Joaquin Torres (also from Cap and WS).

If we're lucky, a Hulk movie that shows Hulk going back to Sakaar to find his son might be in the works too.

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: That they took too long to introduce stuff... but honestly the slow build was the payoff. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:51 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.

Nov 10, 2024 23:07:44 GMT

ayanami: Idk, Ironman flying alongside the Bus. Stuff like that.

Nov 10, 2024 23:08:50 GMT

Jemma Simmons: LOL that would have been awesome! I got the idea they might like to do that, but I suspect the main actors were too expensive. Although we did get Fury a few times. And the occasional Maria Hill. Nov 10, 2024 23:09:58 GMT

ayanami: Also, should have scrapped and re-done episode 2 from scratch. Not a horrible episode all together, but what a slow, low-budget let-down from the pilot and the general MCU world in general. I bet the ratings drop between eps 2 and 3 was massive! Nov 10, 2024 23:11:30 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh I'm sure you're right! Nov 10, 2024 23:12:00 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, Fury was great! Plus, he was really necessary to tie the story together in S1. Nov 10, 2024 23:12:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I think the other issue with the first couple seasons as far as pacing had to do with them tying in the show to the movies and not being able to address the movie on the show until the movie was released. Nov 10, 2024 23:13:19 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yeah, Fury was great! His appearances never felt forced either. Like you said, he was necessary to the plot and it fit that he was there. Nov 10, 2024 23:14:22 GMT

ayanami: True. But low-budget eps right at the start of the show, special effects stolen right out of Firefly and cringy humour certainly didn't help their case, either.

Nov 10, 2024 23:14:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Ha, no. But every show has to find its footing that first season. Nov 10, 2024 23:15:47 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I just keep wondering if we might ever see any AoS characters on What If? Nov 10, 2024 23:16:11 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I mean that would be really easy to bring them in on. I can't see doing the voice work taking long. Nov 10, 2024 23:16:27 GMT

ayanami: That would be very cool. I'd love to see that! Nov 10, 2024 23:18:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Me too! Have to wonder how many of the cast at this point would be willing to do it. It would be neat to see them though! Nov 10, 2024 23:20:22 GMT

ayanami: Alrighty then, since it's getting late over here, I think I'm gonna peace off now. I hope you have a great week ahead of you, until next Sunday! See you around, bosslady!

Nov 10, 2024 23:20:27 GMT

Jemma Simmons: You have a good week too! See you next week! Nov 10, 2024 23:21:21 GMT

ayanami: I would hope everyone. I mean, it's a paycheck and voice work should not be that hard to fit into their usual schedules. Nov 10, 2024 23:22:08 GMT
