Basil going all home Alone on Mae was pure Star Wars :D
Yes it is welcome goofy Star Wars scene in almost middle of more darker Live Act Show 🙂 - Way to go Bazil & please stay safe you brave Tynnan buddy. - 🤞
The red bot in Andor had to charge at home and conserve power, too
there is also The Phantom Menace where R2D2 and the other astromechs are in charging stations before they go out to repair the Royal Starship
B2EMO was just depressed.
Chopper ran out of power in the Tatooine desert when Ezra was looking for Obi-Wan.
@tristanmilner9511 that's different boyo
R2 gets plugged to an powersource on dagobah, shortly before Yoda shows up.
Prolly cuz he's old ash and needs more frequent charging 😭
I don’t really get what you mean by Mae flip flopping cause she’s not when Mae leaves qimir for osha last episode she’s very clearly confident that the her master won’t be able to get her that’s why she’s turning her self in so she can be with her sister but then she finds out her master is in fact there on the planet and is in close proximity she becomes absolutely terrified and it’s very clear that whatever plan she had goes out the window and she’s now just trying to get away to not get killed by any means possible because her master knows she betrayed him. He knows and will kill her for it we saw that last ep where he tries to kill her multiple times so her leaving with Sol is very obviously a “let me get the fuck out of here otherwise I’m fucking dead” she’s got a high self preservation need also I have a feeling that she doesn’t expect qimir to kill osha just her so that’s probably why she left her there on top of that
I was thinking the same thing. It does seem a little flip floppy at first glance, but if you think about it, you can get an explanation like yours.
Mae has flip-flopped several times, but here is the most recent: She's hugging Osha, talking about love and family and being together. Then she knocks Osha unconscious and leaves her wounded alone on a planet with dangerous creatures flying around.
Several leaps of faith in your position (ex: assumes Quimir won’t kill Osha). Defense of this plot is due to assumptions and not what has been shown. Better shows do a more effective job of motivations and development. Sorry, this is pretty sloppy. There’s quite a few of us Star Wars lovers who want success that are bummed by the show’s flaws.
@@kirkdarling4120 Well, just before that, she pleaded with Osha to choose her. Instead, Osha tried to arrest her.
Yeah, Mae's feelings and motivations are spot on. Qimir even points out he thought there would be more to Mae than anger over losing her family driving some revenge, but the moment Mae learns she still had family left the overwhelming need for revenge was supplanted by the chance to be with family if she turns herself in for her crimes. That all went out the window when impending doom seemed likely. Her sister kind of has been this wet blanket ever since reuniting, so most siblings would lose their cool and just knock someone out by that point in time. She didn't kill her sister, which tells that she still cared enough that wasn't even a thought, but it was either stay and die or flee and survive.
"I really hope that this Episode reveals things." LOL
The droid in Andor (his fostermom's red droid) was charging by the wall.
"Is that the first live-action charge [of a droid]?"
B3EMO has a charging bed in Andor.
Vernestras call back to getting sick in hyper space to the books is great. The issue is she would get force visions almost every time she goes through hyper space.
It's almost like the creators of the show actually like the show and carr about it. I'm glad that normal people likes the show
@@basicsimp8798 i said last week that this show actually hits a lot of deep cuts to the lore and stuff that's super interesting to star wars fans. Which is why it was always laughable that people kept screaming it was going to "break cannon"
For some reason, I have a feeling that the Darkside character is a reference to the Padawan killing prophecy from Legends, where a bunch of Jedi had a premonition that one of their padawans was going to fall to the Darkside and kill all of them, so they decided to kill their padawans first, but they screwed it up. One survived fell due to the betrayal and came back and killed them all.
Yes it's a prophecy that other Jedi(s) would misinterpret for many millenias. One point in history Zayne Carrick a framed padawan went on to become a hero along with his companions when they brought to justice a hidden roque corrupted Dark Jedi(s)
See the problem with legend and all the other stories that weren’t the movies, causes a lot of issues with the lore itself. Thats why I’ve always just stuck to the lore the OG trilogy and prequel trilogy established. Now that Disney is taking bits and pieces from other stories, it creates plot holes. It has Disney trying to figure out a way to incorporate them into the movies canon without messing up which causes them to create more problems in the lore. Disney really should have just added to the lore in the sequel trilogy without involving the skywalkers so that they could add more to the story without messing with the established movie canon.
Disney also said that Legends was not canon in their universe so I dont see how any of that would apply.
the same with Cortosis.
@@JBurnz001 thank you for sharing and I respect your contributions to the chat.
@@dead_and_devine1505 past material written by authors who had approval from Dark Horse Comics who had approval from George Lucas. The fiction is their so they apply it. Much like how GamesWorkshop and Black Library can choose to focus on the relevance of thier fiction chosen for a story.
Showing Jecki’s dead body is a very unexpected thing, wow.
Oh and Yord too.
Vernestra saying it doesn’t make her sick, its unsettling, is semantics
“Star Wars doesn’t have safety railings” 😂 so true!!
I still contend that he knew it wasn't OSHA all along.
Thank you for pointing out the droid murder. First peeps I've seen mention it.
The way he keeps refering to Mae as Osha, actually makes me think he knows it's Mae, yeah.
To my credit, I mentioned it in my reaction as well. And I gave Nerdy Nightly a little shout out in the middle of the video. Check it out.
Cortosis been in Star Wars since 1998 when a novel "I, Jedi" was published ;) So it is not something Disney invented and named
White robes symbolises seductive side of Dark Side - it is not always about anger and hatred but also there is passion and desire
Let's see if they use that.
@@kirkdarling4120 but exactly what? Cortosis? They already used it.
Seductive side? Qimir don`t need to literaly seduce Osha, like in romantic way. He already started using this side in Ep. 6
Next episode's flashback is theathening to be the "this could have been an email" meme.
Q will be Darth Plagueis. He can slow his aging with the dark side. Along with giving himself abs, and get swole. 🤓
Resetting (aka murdering) Pip shouldn’t be the equivalent of making a buttcall.
How do you all watch it with split earphones?! I can't imagine y'all getting the full experience that way 😢
I can only assume they somehow set it to mono so they get the same full feed in each AirPod. Cos if not then any stereo separation must be maddening
@@sonicsean34 i would hope so cause otherwise they might literally be missing out on some sounds
There are no railings after OSHA no longer exists... duh
🤣
I dunno if Mae was deciding to be good all of a sudden or whatever as much as she was really really scared of fighting a force wielding wookie without a weapon when turns out her sis is still alive.
It's always those quiet ones that end up blowing up the most. Like, I always think, don't mess with the quiet people because when we blow up, we really blow up. I've probably only lost my cool a few times in life but when I have, I've insulted several people enough to make them cry. I felt horrible about it afterwards but us quiet ones do run out of buttons to push. We usually blow that steam with some private activity that doesn't need people, jogging, or punching bags or something. Helps us stay quiet, I think.
Also, oh jeepers, bringing up Wheel Of Time Season one, as a book fan I'm having a hard time motivating myself to watch season 2 still. Their adaptation of season One gave me such a hard time, great acting mind you but the way they approached that, nightmares.
Just to answer two points that would require you to either buy Legends Books or Comics to read. Answer is yes, there is totally one really prominent Skywalker in Legends that spends some time being trained as a Sith who has a romantic dalliance with their Sith Master. And also yeah, there are several species that are longer lived than Human beings in Legends and I believe a few in Canon. Canon even introduced some crazy Lovecraftian stuff with that Darth Maul comic they did not long ago. Basically, Star Wars just has weird stuff.
Yeah, I think I'd have liked this episode more if like, we had two more episodes in this season to properly flesh out a satisfying conclusion. So, I totally agree with you guys on how the episode feels, which is weird because I kind of really liked the acting of the main cast too. I'm pretty sure the stuff about hyperspace nausea was done to offer her a broader acting range. But who knows, maybe they show her losing her lunch in a future episode. Anyways, great reaction!
3:26 someone forgot about Narkina 5 and Aldhani’s multiple railing kills 😛
The very first chapter of the Plageus novel starts in a Cortosis mine
These guys don't know anything about Legends and stuff, they didn't even knew what cortosis was. But that's okay, you don't have to be a hardcore Star Wars fan to see this content tbh
The 'good guys' memory wipe droids all the time too though.
I don't get all the claim 'this show wants to make the Jedi bad' arguments. That's bs. The Jedi have always been ABLE to be bad. Jedi can fall, they literally become bad guys all the time. If they couldn't the whole warning about the path to the dark side is meaningless and Anakin never would have become Vader. Obi-Wan literally lied to Luke about Anakin. Jedi actions literally created Grievous. Anakin, Dooku, and so many more. I don't know what movies and shows people are watching to think Jedi are always good.
Do you get the feeling that force users might not be all that popular in the galaxy at large save for the Jedi. Like the Jedi are seen as the only acceptable force users?
I love it. The psychotic, murderous, gas-lighting, villain, is hot so he gets a pass.
Droids are tools and need their memories wiped before they develop personality. Uncle Owen knew best. This is why the Empire eventually banned assassin droids, because they tend to go rogue.
Qimir is about 10 years older than Mae and Osha. So he could’ve been leaving the Order at 18 just as Osha entered the Order at 8.
I feel like I understand more about Mae than Osha, who feels like she’s just along for the ride while introducing us to other characters.
Mae’s whole thing has been to either get revenge by killing the 4 Jedi that she holds as responsible for what happened 16 years ago, or to get justice by informing the Jedi Council of the crimes that those 4 Jedi did 16 years ago so that they can be arrested. And in episode 2, titled Revenge / Justice, we hear that from her when goes after Torbin, after failing to killing him or illicit a response.
Mae:
“Turn yourself over to the Jedi Council and confess your crimes, or, take this vial to find the absolution you seek.”
And again in episode, where tired of being pestered by Qimir and trying to figure out how to get a Jedi to fight her and how to kill them with a weapon, she says;
Mae:
“This isn’t my test. I don’t need to kill a Jedi. I will just go to Master Kelnacca and turn myself over to the Jedi Council.”
Qimir:
“But, they will arrest you.”
Mae:
“Not after what I have to tell them.”
And then in episode 5 where she decides to go with Master Sol, presumably back to Coruscant, where she hopes to tell the Jedi Council about what she understands to be the truth about what happened 16 years prior, so that they can arrest Sol. And Sol tells her that he will to confess to her what really happened from his perspective. But worried that Sol will eventually see through guise before they even get the ship repaired because she doesn’t have a clue to maintenance, so she briefly considered killing him. And then after realizing that Sol might have saw through it once the ship came back on line. She decided to send a communication to the Jedi on Coruscant before Sol kills her, because still in her mind, the Jedi kill without provocation and Sol is a mess right then.
Finally, someone says it. Thank you! Tired of people constantly attacking this show for the wrong reason. I've only had one problem with the Acolyte so far, and it's how the pacing feels a bit off sometimes... like, the twin moment at the end of the ep5 needed an extra minute to feel fleshed out. And this episode needed either an extra three minutes of Sith philosophy, or the start of the big reveal (cause it is getting tiresome).
Basically the episodes needed to be a little longer. Other than that I get what they're doing and I like it.
I think part of the problem people have with this show is that they don't like being remembered that the Jedi are sexually repressed fanatical priests who kidnapp and endoctrinate children... but that was always there. We know that since the prequels. Just makes me laugh when people say, "they're trying to make the jedi sound evil..."
I mean, when those boxes get checked, they kind of are...
@@eduardoharpa8723 The episode runtimes are my biggest issue too. It’s like they cut the 3rd act and epilogue to save for the following episode, the following week.
The runtimes are a problem with the other Star Wars live action shows too (except Andor). But with the way that the Acolyte was written, it does the show a disservice. Because when you are getting into the episode, it cuts, leaving you to have to remember what happened the previous week so that the narrative makes sense. However, the streaming age means that you can simply just binge through the previous episode/s to things straight in your mind.
The Mule of Asimov’s Foundation series is now Qimir of Star Wars
I suggested that earlier. "I come from the nowhere, I go to the no place...and here I am." Oops, the genie on Popeye.
Misdirect and confusion... first lesson, "The Nekkid Man" is effective at paralyzing your foes.
Come to the dark side Osha, we have mixed bathing, and soup...
(Way to mishandle someone's... lightsaber)
A fallen/dark Jedi who has Sith-curious tendencies is a fair play... perhaps he aspires to try for a Ro2 position and is building his personal bench of student options.
No, whips don't doodle like a Zorro sword tip scribble. Not unless Qimir and Vernestra were into hot wax/plasma tickle play.
Cortosis is more rare than Beskar, and has fewer reliable applications. The shape of the helmet is what is replicating the sensory deprivation helmets of the younglings at the temple or Luke in episode 4 or Sabine. The material has nothing to do with it. Qimir is baldfaced lying to Sol about the mask "blocking the force", since he wasn't wearing it in the Apothecary and could not be read. Cortosis does NOT block The Force. That is a Red Herring. Classic misdirect.
The greater sins of this episode are the editor's fault with a complete disregard of time, Space, distance and travel.
It would have been better for them to open with Sol and Mae, As we saw them entering their ship in the last episode... Instead we have Qmir Mystically teleporting across the Galaxy to an unknown world, Having carried Osha to his ship taking off undetected, jumped to hyperspace landed on the unknown planet transported her across the bay at low tide into the cave lair and treated Osha' wound, and Osha waking up at High tide... Before the other ship even takes off. Bad, bad edit.
To say nothing of the travel time from Coruscant to the outer rim for the Jedi CSI investigation team.... and they got notified at night on Coruscant, and didn't leave till day again on Coruscant.
And, If there were still active umbramoths, Simply for the plot convenience of showing off the whip. Why were there still bodies left to investigate? Even If they are pure vegetarians that only attack because of the light, Other forest creatures should be hard at work rendering the corpses by now.
I put more faith in Basil's ability to tell Sol about Mae's Infiltration than I do in his ability to clearly sense things in the Force... Although telling the mission commander first would have been a wiser tactical decision than trying to dry hump the leg of a known assassin... Tynnan logic be weird.
Manny is the star of the show for me, alongside Jung-jae Lee. Both are extremely good at their roles, but Manny with his mannerism and the way he shifts from one vibe to another is totally outstanding.
I love the fact the Jedi Master with the light whip, like Cortosis a pre-Disney canon item, get sea sick from going through hyperspace. Does this mean some people get hyperspace lag similar to jet lag?
There were 10k Jedi at that period. He wouldn't know EVERY padawan out there. The presence being "familiar" might be because he saw him around the temple, but never paid atention to him.
I agree that Sol hinting on what happened really got annoying in this episode. How many times have the show hinted about it now? 5-6 times? Anyway, that is too many times.
You're inverted. Change it! OCD! AAAHHHH
Theyhad railings in an episode of the Bad Batch. The one where their ship was stolen by a kid and they helped him and his mining friends.
But that didn't stop the boss from falling over the railing anyway.
I think it's going to turn out that some Jedi have been encouraging parents to give up their children with mind tricks, but it didn't work on the witches who fought back and was massacred, and Vernestra covered it up.
Osha is too passive in this show, she doesn’t have an internal drive towards anything so she just gets pushed around by the plot. When you compare her to Cassian, he was a screw up who was floundering in his life but he was also determined to find his sister and take care of his foster mom. Whereas Osha wasn’t ever searching for Mae because she thought she was dead, she wasn’t striving to rejoin the Jedi order or even thinking of taking them down, she was just existing. And with the reveal that Mae was alive the one motivation she had was to capture and turn over Mae, not necessarily to find out what actually happened that night, which lessens the next episode’s big reveal.
The lighting/quality of this camera 🤌
So weird to see Nerdy without a beard. Also these wood panels in the background(doors/cabins?) look super cool!
Is there any possibility that Qimir might one day wash his hair? Comb it? Brush it out of his face?
There's like 5 maybe 10 mins of plot this ep. It’s the most frustrating part when combined with the 30 mins eps.
I do like that quimir changed his tactics from “don’t reveal myself” to “I’ve shown everything”. Maybe if Mae returns he can use his naked powers to get her back on side
No one seems to realize that sol never asked about OSHA after finding out Mae is pretending to be her. The whole treck back to the ship sol never senses that ain't OSHA !! Then once he finds out, he doesn't ask her u got ur sister's clothes on , did u kill her? " He says he had 16 years think about what he'd say to u if he ever had the chance, so ur going to listen to me " to the twin he thought was dead for 16 years! But not the one he trained and built a relationship with!?😂 But if u over look these things then it works for u!! Turn off ur brain and don't question nothing!! But that only works if the show is good which this not !! IMO
I do like the idea that Qimir is the true antagonist and only survivor of the show. There are some interesting spoilery fan theories about him and his role.
ahhh this is 1x6 I should have read the title, but after watching 1x7..................... there is NO HOPE, not a NEW HOPE.
kinda digging this version of a guayabera
14:27 Not really, that material exists since Legends/Expanded Universe novels and stuff. Can't say they recanonized that here because there's already mentions of it in this new canon. But definitely first time it's shown and mentioned in a live action show.
Mae's motivations are super confusing to me.
I would buy merch of the elephant birds
3:37 😮 how did you know this was the first video I was watching of your channel lol
I just listened to the 3 Thrawn books that came out a few years ago, the mineral that allows armor that can turn off lightsabers was mentioned in that. I wondered why we never saw the tech after Vader and Thrawn both knew about it. This show "initializing" that storyline (Separatists mining it for Clone Trooper and Roger-Roger robot armor)... 100 years before it happens is a nice Easter Egg.
Algo goddess should've been Jecki's cold rotting corpse. That was harsh.
Vinestra works too.
I really just tune in for the singing intro.
6:15 .... and Andor
Of course he was swimming nude, remember all those times Carrie reminded us that George declared theres no underwear in space 😆
Im appreciating your reactions. I'm liking this show more than you two are, but I can also absolutely see and understand the points you're making, theure valid points. You also still point out things you like and still keep your reaction constructive where you dont like it.
That wasn't coffee, that was Maneo's urine.
Beautiful Live Act Episode set into High Republic era. I hope that some day we get to see Hyperspace Disaster content in Live Act. Nihil species & more 😋 - Forever D+ Sub & so far quite a fan of The Acolyte. I dislike & like Star Wars Telly shows that have come out. - 🧘♂
B2EMO in Andor needed to be charged regularly.
Blake Bortles!
You guys would like A Night at the Roxbury (1998)
Movie recommendation : EXIT(2019),which is Korean disaster movie mixed with comedy.
Same. Honesty is hot as heck.
Is the actor that portrays Mog the same guy that portrays Dr. Gorst in Andor?
sure sounded like him
To say that the characters cannot move ahead because the mystery of the plot has to keep the reveal till the end is an excellent commentary. It's exactly what happens when writers don't really know how to write. It explains a lot.
R2D2 needed a charge in one of the sequel movies.
You guys: "I don't get what Mae wants"
Qimir, literally this episode: "I thought she wanted more than just revenge"
Y'all keep blaming the show for "not showing things" when they literally spell it out for us. If you guys gave the show a little credit and payed a bit more attention to what is being said and shown.......
Also, Osha is like this bc she is repressing her emotions. She was raised by the Jedi and that's what they teach their children
thank you it’s exactly this I don’t get why it’s so hard for people to understand
Actually, that's why I can't enjoy that much this show... Sometimes it seems too obvious for me at least lol. Not to mention the poor writing overall.
You guys are sitting on the wrong side! It's weirding me out
Luke charged R2 on Dagobah in Empire
The Bazzil character has been absolutely useless...there has been no point to having that character in the story at all. Pip has been irrelevant as well. Neither has been a "character," not even as much a B2-EMO.
Clarus has noticed Qimir knowing things Qimir shouldn't be able to know.
This show is like the couselor at a summer camp telling a ghost story, trying to stretch the story with as much fake mystery as possible.
Mog reminds me of Dedra Meera's assistant. And Venestra is starting to remind me of Dedra Meera.
I would like to imagine that the reason Osha is so bland and Mae is so psycho is because they're an incomplete whole that much be combined into a single person. But I don't think the writers are that clever, nor do I think they have enough time to resolve satisfactorily it that way.
They've got us hope-watching.
This might have been my favorite episode of the series thus far. I know that we didn't get much plot progression or action, but Manny Jacinto's performance is just so captivating.
the emotional wreck that was Sol throughout the episode was also great to see. His slow progression back from the brink to only then realize it was Mae all along. Lee Jung-jae is killing it as Sol.
Ok, space buns Clarus is adorable.
Leslye said this is a villain's story, Dark side Osha with Qimir for the win!
That was an interesting ep.
But on an unrelated note, and sorry for being off topic, I'm so sad you didnt keep up with Interview with the Vampire, especially after that masterclass of a second season, you'd have loved it. :)
Disney really needs to figure out series length and make episodes that are fulfilling to watch. 36 minute episodes with strange cutaways from important dialogue and long ass credits aren’t cutting it. Much of these episodes could be edited into four episodes which would leave the last four episodes to do more with.
Spot on. So many of Disney+ Star Wars shows running times would benefit from being cut in half.
A lot of the Disney shows, Marvel and Star Wars, feel like the story would make a good 90 minute movie, but to meet an 8 episode requirement they add hours of filler, film it as if it were a really long movie then chop it into episodes.
@EvilSoupDragon - Eternals should have been a show, but Falcon and Bucky could have been trimmed to a movie, for sure. This and Kenobi as well.
That or go the Andor route of 12, and let things breathe more.
This show unfortunately doesnt know how to build mystery.
They keep talking and mentioning the same mystery to a point where it gets more annoying than mysterious.
They dont build up the mystery or revealing slowly but just keep repeating it just from different characters.
I agree with Clarus, this show lacks character development, which is why I also don't feel connected to any of the characters.
I disagree with the persona of Qimir, I can't take him on seriously as a Sith, he is way less intimidating than Darth Sideous, Darth Vader, Darth Tarynas aka Count Dooku and even Darth Maul. Qimir is stoic and soft spoken and, in some ways, comedic, he is no true Sith in my book.
Yes, I agree, every week, more questions than answers, less focus is on the story, each and every time.
He didn't exactly say he was a Sith. He said the Jedi might _call_ him a Sith, inasmuch as he is a former Jedi who has "fallen prey to the dark side."
Yep you guys are echoing many of the issues I have with this show, I like a lot about it but I'm lacking a reason to care as there doesn't seem to be a plot just the constant, I must tell you what happened 16 years ago but is stopped like 4-5 times so far and it's just annoying me at this point.
There are more of us... in your wife
The cookies are a lie
I vote we call him Darth Thirst Trap
Obligatory algo comment
I feel bad for your gf
its pronounced Cla-Roos?!?!?
Wow, the plot holes and bad writing and strong with this one
Clarus is spot on. Blah.
Osha/Mae aren’t really doing anything for me. They barely have personalities individually much less enough to make them distinct. As children they seemed to have more distinct personalities. Osha seemed to not really give a fuck about people she ostensibly considered friends if Qimir can just dismiss her bringing them up by effectively being like “yeah, they actually sucked and didn’t like you anyway 🤷🏻♂️”. I don’t care about *any* of these characters (sorry, even Sol)
B2EMO in Andor also charged.
Oh TRUUEEE
Fantastic analysis as always, however I must down the video for the Osha violation reference, such puns lead to the Dark Side.
One thing about this ep that makes me happy is George Lucas was vindicated in his assertion that there is no underwear in space.
Qimir. Jacksonville kid makes galactic waves!
Vernestra doesn't like hyperspace because it gives her visions. It's a reference to an important plot point in the books. On the other hand, her isolating herself on Coruscant is a very clear indication she has been VERY changed by the time she has lived in. At the end of phase 1 she had disobeyed the recall order to head off and become a way seaker (basically, a roving Jedi who follows the will of the force). Her becoming so political and isolating herself like this is weird, and begs explanation.
Mae's only motivation is to not get merc'd by Smilo Ren. In terms of the dialogue, you should watch it with closed captions. The descriptive audio sounds like a romance novel. Also, Pip had to die or it would upload information about what happened when the Jedi strike team got massacred back on Pill Bug Planet. Finally, stop being frustrated about them not revealing what happened on Brendock, that shit is a red herring. I don't even think the Mae/Osha storyline is actually important in any way, its just the connective tissue of the story, not really the story itself. Green Bald Lady been whipping Smilo Ren with that light-whip(?) when he was a kid.
If they just f@ckin' 'say the thing', the show would already be over. That's not how *mysteries* work.
The best way i can describe this show is
Cool bullet points for a whole story that they didn't know how to connect
So far the entire plotline up to this point could have fit into a single episode. This is the Seinfield of Star Wars, as it's becoming a "show about nothing." If your show is based on a mystery, you either need to show a discovery of evidence or a plot reveal in each episode. Everything in the episode becomes irrelevant without at least one of those events.
Episode 6, I feel like I have given this show a chance to rope me in. For me, it’s a frustrating show. I’m truly lost.
I feel like it would have made a fantastic Irishman or longer length movie. 4-4 1/2 hours or so.
12:58 do you know what else is HAWT?!? that tongue thing she's doing 😛🤣
This show is getting dumber and dumber and the jedi are the most useless characters in this series LOL
Well no kidding he's hawt, you said his name from The Good Place, have you seen it or anything else he's been in? I knew who Darth Smiley was as soon as I saw his arms.
"I watched you murder my friends, and I won't be so easily corrupted!"
"Yeah, well look at these abs, and check out my fat hog... Want to abandon all of your morals to be sad and evil with me?"
"Good point. I will forgive you for snapping my childhood friends neck in front of me, because you're hot"
This is the worst of CW writing. It's really, really bad.
Performances by Sol and Qimir have been particularly excellent, and I feel bad for the actors because they're putting in so much more effort than the writers did.
This show kind of reminds me of the Obi-wan show…the stuff with Obi-wan and Leia was good, but the Reba and Inquisitor stuff was so bland and disappointing. The Osha/Mae pairing is supposed to be the centerpiece of the show but they are the least interesting part. No shade to the actor generally but they seem to have difficulty establishing each twin as an individual. If you look at Anna Torv in Fringe or Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black, it’s important to develop each person’s physicality, vocal tone, etc and it feels like the actor for Osha/Mae didn’t really do that work.
I am willing to bet Headlands wife Rebecca Henderson is afraid of flying and gets sick on planes, so that is a backdoor Easter egg for Headland and her to laugh that they put it in the show.
The show is completed borked because of misplaced scenes in the wrong order and other scenes that just should have been edited completely out. I would love to see a version that someone that has the skill to take the show, strip out all the crap and make a 90 to 100 minute movie. I bet it would come out 100% better. Too bad the writing is so bad that they could not tell a connected story that flows and is not bouncing back and forth and all over.
