After three episodes, my opinion so far is the plotting decisions of this series are pretty terrible. Centering a show around Leia being kidnapped and Obi-Wan having to confront Vader while rescuing her is dumb because we know Leia is going to survive, we know Obi-Wan is going to survive, and we know Obi-Wan and…

That wasn’t even the most brutal thing! When he’s choking out that dad for no reason, the son runs out, and he snaps his fucking neck! WOW. ON A DISNEY SHOW TOO. Vader is literally just walking around town randomly killing people.

I’m guessing it has something to do with parkour.  

A few caveats:

One thing I’ve definitely liked about the Disney era is that they make sure Darth Vader is the scariest, most brutal motherfucker in the room every time he shows up.

When he dragged Obi-Wan through the fire using the Force, I was like “JESUS!!!”

This is 10 years out from New Hope, that still counts as a few!  And hey if this is the last time they run into each other it could be “Well, last time you ran into him you force dragged him over jagged flaming glass, he’s probably dead.”

Better than the second episode, but it’s still just so silly. The Stormtroopers are searching for a Jedi but their superiors never showed them a photo of said Jedi? How did they ever plan to find him? And Vader just lets Obi Wan get away because he somehow can’t figure out how to go around or through some flames on…

That was a really nice moment in the film, and for Kilmer himself. I think it was really respectfully done and was a nice tribute to him. 

I wondered the same thing. Perhaps the song was what was tethering him to reality long enough for Vecna to run out of energy?

It is 100% part of the joke that Barry gets away with everything. There also seems to be some meta-commentary on how increasingly impossible it is to get away with anything he’s doing in an increasingly digital world.

the fucking third person grand theft auto shots when barry gets on the highway were just * chefs kiss *

The quick cut to Hank wearing a Dodgers cap and eating a beignet hit me like a punch in the face. The look on his face alone. Fairly certain I snorted.

Disappointed that there’s no discussion of the incredible sound design during the chase sequence. It made just the driving on the freeway seem both so realistic and so stressful!

I’m sad that you didn’t bring up Hank’s visit to the beignet store, where the proprietor points out that Christobal spent their whole relationship lying to him, says that he’s better off out of the relationship, and then offers him a job managing the upcoming beignet franchise. Just... incredible.

I just finished and personally, I think this has been the best season by quite a wide margin. The writing has never been better.

I love Rich’s character. He seems like a decent man and a ruthless lawyer. 

The thing that haunts me about this show is a question that we’ll never get to see answered. What if Jimmy had been mentored by Chuck and Howard when he got his law degree? He was on the straight and narrow when he worked at HHM, and he took no short-cuts to getting his degree. There were no slips. I know the joke is…

Howard’s PI was in on it - he really worked for Jimmy and Kim.

The point was to force HHM to quickly settle the Sandpiper class action and get Jimmy his payday now instead of a year or two down the road. In that regard, it was a resounding success.

This show goes to 11.
