I liked that twin swap last week actually had a purpose, which was to give the Stranger a new potential Acolyte.

Yeah, that’s because episode 3 exists. Episode 1 flows into 2, which flows into 4, which flows into 5, which flows into 6. Episode 3 however is forced in between 2 and 4 derailing the entire flow. Slot that third episode before episode 1 or drop it entirely and the show flows significantly better.

Its also important to note that when the crew had to shelter they sheltered in Starliner. When sheltering they’re effectively ready to return to earth. Which points to, they’re good to go and confident in its ability to return to earth safely, they’re just trying to get as much data as possible, and I say this as…

Most of the time I don’t laugh at it. Most of the time it all fits. They are a ‘civilian’ navy. And looked at like that the flagship of your civilian navy is going to be your bestest best ship. Your fleets are going to just be a bunch of ships that are in the area that you slap together.

In Starfleet ‘flagship’ is really just a gold sticker that says ‘our most favoritest of ships’. Its fleets are just ‘here’s a bunch of ships’. Which is fine! Starfleet’s not supposed to be a military navy. They fill that role but that’s not what they’re designed to be.

Multiple keyboard layouts? You’re joking, right?

The controls and labels aren’t standardized. Their capabilities aren’t standardized, either.

The differentiation between mystery and thriller, for me at least, is largely on the focus.

Oh there’s a trope for that too!

See, I think that’s part of the problem. Its not actually a mystery. Its a thriller pretending to be a mystery.

The problem is, its a good concept, with some interesting ideas, that is extremely poorly told in places.

Two Jedi Knights just stop fighting and stand helpless just because their light sabers aren’t working... ok...

The rest was pretty on par with the rest of the season so far.

And the kicker, his own company going “We thought it was bullshit and then we talked to people and.... Anyways he doesn’t work here any more”:

In the moment I mostly enjoyed watching it.

Visions allows a lot of experimentation because it’s animated, but I can’t think of a live action show that’s taken similar stylistic risks.

Although it does seem like the fewer Jedi are around, the more interesting things get.

Of course!

No worries. And no didn’t mean for things to come across dismissive.

You should probably take a look at why you think that.
