Nothing too revelatory here, although right when I became fully convinced that Qimir is actually Mae's master, we discover Kelnacca was already murdered ahead of Mae and Qimir's arrival (and Qimir's entrapment). Good. I'm glad the show is playing on our expectations and immediately subverting (just like how
Doctor Who just did).
(Having now caught up with the rest of the thread, it is curious how many people are even
more convinced that Qimir is the master when I'm one of the few people going in the opposite direction after this episode)
Also curious how we get another single word in the episode title. While I fully expect another flashback to counter "Destiny," I'm not sure how "Day" would be similarly countered, especially since we watched both of Osha and Mae's perspectives here and I don't see much would be gained from seeing Kelnacca's murder.
Considering the tweet
Mr. Adventure provided about next week's episode, it seems like we might be getting that counter right away. Makes me wonder if the show is going for a mirrored balance with these titles, i.e. two episodes with pairings, followed by single-word title for a flashback episode then a present one, and then doing the reverse (making the speculated Mae perspective flashback episode six, hopefully!).
Or maybe I'm overthinking it...
Gaaahhhh, how could they just end the episode right there?! I'm gonna be anxious all week now!
That's
precisely why they ended it right at that moment!
The civilian robe is an interesting detail, though I'm not sure why they would insist both Bazil and Osha wear one. Perhaps because they want it to be clear that she's officially working with the Jedi, and not just some random itinerant meknek?
That bothered me, too, and clearly Osha was
not happy about it either. A weird choice for the Jedi to enforce a dress code for non-members. I'm not saying it's not unlike them to do something like that, just that it's a weird choice.
Jeki is very wise and worldly for such a young padawan. I kinda want to know her back story (I'm sure we'll get it eventually, in one medium or another!)
Jeki has been my favorite character since the beginning so I'm all for learning more about her in whatever form that takes (but preferably with Dafne Keen involved).
I suspected as much after the first two episodes, but I'm even more sure now that Mae was never the Sith's true target of recruitment, but Osha. She's had a decade of Jedi training, and bares a deep resentment towards her sister. The whole point of this exersise may have always been to get Osha to kill Mae in anger and become the new Sith Apprentice. Mae said it herself; with Osha alive her motivation for vengence is gone. But for Osha; Mae being alive if anything makes it worse, because now she has a focus for her resentment.
I've been hating the notion of Osha becoming the true Acolyte from the get go, but I won't lie: The evidence for it becomes more and more compelling...and inevitable.
You know what I find boring? People that watch shows they claim to hate, just so they can whinge about them week in, week out. If you don't like it, that's fine; Don't watch it! Nobody is forcing you to be here.
Hear, hear! Drives me nuts with every show. Any of the
Star Wars shows (particularly this one,
Andor, and
Ahsoka), any of the
Star Trek shows (although I largely avoid those forums precisely because this problem is greatly amplified there), and especially
Doctor Who. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting at the moment but those are the ones that leap to mind at the moment.
Found a twitter account from one of the writers. A couple interesting ones:
It is indeed a Tynaan
Interesting comment on episode length, make of it what you will
Only quoting to note my excitement that we can finally embed Twitter posts! Just a shame that it's automatically in light mode though. As someone who has long since converted everything into dark mode because it's much easier on my eyes, this really pops out in a bad way.
