Love is for souls, not bodies.
"You read my mind" was a pretty good Easter Egg, a callback to Wanda having mind-reading powers in her first movie as well as the mind-control soap from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
It would be nice if they explained why she never used them afterward, though I'm not counting on that. A lot of these Easter Eggs may be just stuff they put in for the fans to notice, but not all of them will necessarily be part of the plot.
E.g. there are several shout-outs to Bova, but it doesn't guarantee she'll actually appear. Same goes for the AoS reference, which I think is deliberate but not necessarily part of the plot.

WandaVision Showrunner Promises More Quicksilver References

A good reminder to myself that a LOT of viewers of WandaVision are worried things are moving along too FAST:

I think more of the plot will reveal itself in the next three episodes, but I still believe since Wanda and Vision are in sitcom world, the show will remain funny and light-hearted during that time.
It's weird. For a long time, I had believed that if superheroes and/or supervillains got married and had kids, things would get boring and stale. And that's why comic book writers avoided writing stories about those subjects. But after watching WandaVision, I just think they're being lazy. I actually think "will they, won't they" stories are REALLY boring and stale in my opinion. And what really surprised me is that PLENTY of people don't like them either. I'm in the "let's get on with it" camp. I'm truly impressed with what Schaeffer and company have been doing in making Wanda and Vision such an interesting couple. I wonder if comic book writers will take note?

Oh yeah, I've long given up on Wanda and Vision having a family together. It's just way too late for that now. I apologize for not being clear. I think Vision and Wanda as a couple are toast. I was referring to Marvel couples in general. But I'm surprised that Marvel and DC are allowing "A-list" characters to have stable relationships (Jean and Scott). I remember reading about Jean and Scott in the 90s, and the TREMENDOUS amount of drama between them and Madelyne Pryor and Wolverine. Then after returning to comics I discovered there was even MORE drama when Scott hooked up with Emma Frost (that was very shocking to me). So I figured comic book writers just like that kind of dysfunction. I'm really surprised in 2021, Marvel are "letting" Jean and Cyclops have a family life. I wonder if Mister Sinister is the godfather of those kids.

It'll be tough. Even when I stopped reading Marvel Comics a couple of decades ago, Vision and Wanda were pretty estranged. Since learning more about their subsequent history in the comic books after seeing the movies, I can't see how they could even stand living under the same roof now! There's SO much bad blood there. I mean it COULD be done, but I find the prospect to be unlikely, unfortunately. Although I wouldn't mind seeing it happen myself, thanks to WandaVision.
I just think Marvel doesn't like stable relationships. The one between Vision and Virginia had to be one of the most loving AND destructive ones in recent memory!
And is it just me, but doesn't it appear to you that Vision is VERY submissive in his relationship with Wanda? Not just in WandaVision, but in the comic books too? He practically defers to her all the time. I don't recall Simon being submissive to Wanda when they were together. I like Wanda's personality in the MCU when she's with Vision. She's in charge, but not bossy. She's not badass, but sympathetic. I don't want her personality to change after WandaVision at all.

Last we saw Wanda, she was a fugitive.
She was a fugitive living in Europe with Vision.
Then Infinity War happened, then she got dusted, then she snapped back and went to Tony's funeral.
But... is she still considered a fugitive? Was she working WITH SWORD when all this TV Land shit went down?
So many questions.
Yeah.
Cuz at first, I figured with Wanda recognizing the SWORD symbol, and being identified over the radio by Woo, etc etc. that perhaps she was working with them. Maybe they showed up to New Jersey in response to this town being in distress? Maybe this town's children vanished? (cuz....there aren't any kids around currently but we do see kids during the Halloween clips) UGH.
So exciting. Loving this so far.
It is exciting. Totally agree with you there. But I do get the sense that even fans of the show want more clues as to where this story is going. There have been complaints that the plot hasn't really moved forward for the first three episodes, but I think things are shifting now. Or at least I hope so. But I still want more sitcom shenanigans.
