The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 6 Notebook
Episode 6 is upon us, but — just like Sam — we have some preparations to make prior to watching the finale…
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has proven an amazing, if not a slightly flawed pastime for all of us Disney+ and Marvel Fans.
And just when it was “getting good,” its present groove is (presumably) gonna end with a bang (which hopefully wasn’t spoiled by a Christmas ornament).
But with just a few hours before it drops on Disney+, here’s all the news that’s fit to post about old Bucky and Sam.

Crushing Nielsen…
While we are at it, let’s talk about some ratings for the first couple of episodes.
Deadline was all over this, as Dade Hayes reported:
The first two episodes of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier landed the Marvel series for Disney+ the No. 3 spot on the Nielsen U.S. streaming chart.
While total viewing of 628 million minutes from March 22 to 28 didn’t equal mainstays NCIS and Criminal Minds, the first two episodes are already at the level Marvel’s WandaVision was a month into its run. It improved from the No. 6 spot last week, with the premiere racking up 495 million minutes of viewing.
While Disney+ launched in November 2019, Marvel did not start contributing series to the service until this year. Unlike Netflix, Disney has generally released series one episode at a time, giving them time to build buzz and viewers.
SO, any bets on what Episode VI will pull?

Okay, just a few hours to go. Are you ready? Let us know what you thought of Episode 6 in the comments.
