I think it's definitely early to expect a WHOLE lot of interaction in the comments of reviews this late in the cycle, so hopefully the ratio will shift as we get into the week.

I REALLY don't think I've spent a considerable amount of time this season complaining about Alex and Piper?

I meant specifically confusion about the review release decision, not comment in general.

I'd argue that here the show is arguing they were corrupted insofar as they started fighting with one another because of what the commenters were saying.

Oh, I understand what the line meant—I just am confused about how Hapakuka just seemingly has no character motivation to speak of.

I'm not following your meaning here at all, to be honest with you: What are you referring to?

We saw him in a mental hospital after that.

You get to the crux of it in your first paragraph: Janae's connection to this is not inherently random, but the episode doesn't do any of the work necessary to make it ACTUALLY connect to it in meaningful ways.

Basically, I want the show to show its work: give me a montage of how this content is spreading. Don't just say "Look, it's spreading," because that skips over huge steps that would actually provide some meaningful context to help us understand the way the riot is being understood. All this is proving is that "Look,…

Random might not be the right word: Janae obviously cares about issues of race, and so it's not like they took a character who had NEVER expressed these opinions and suddenly made them deeply concerned about it. But I guess Janae's character has lacked an arc so much in recent seasons that this never seemed like it…

Not about it being BELIEVABLE, and more about making it actually feel like character development. I definitely think that this is consistent with Janae's character, but it doesn't really make any attempt at connecting to the previous flashback, which makes for a flashback that adds to this storyline but doesn't really…

See, I know you're joking, but I still need to express that I'm not going to go this route for a whole lot of reasons…however, I definitely never learned two of these guards' names, so…

But the fact that the riot covers the entire season is not "information about later episodes." It's information about the season itself, and not something the show ever tries to hide. I am honestly someone who is very conscious of spoiler concerns, but I think attempting to write a review that ignores something so…

I can't edit all of my reviews and remove my knowledge of the fact the season is set during the riot. My opinions, all of them, are informed by that. I would argue that there is never a situation where the show *fakes* like the riot is about to end but then doesn't, so it's not as though knowing the riot lasts the…

The issue is that the show hasn't really been interested in those characters, and has sat a precedent of fleshing out rather than accepting such innate details. And if they weren't trying to add dimension, why show us the flashback? Why go through the motions of "fleshing out" when they weren't doing any of the actual…

It's been a while, OKAY?!

As I discuss elsewhere in the comments, this was VERY public—I wrote this review without having seen the entire season, so this was not something I spoiled after having finished the season but rather something that informed my entire experience. To "hide" that information would have required lying about my knowledge…

The problem here is that you're using comments as a way to getting validation from others instead of using them purely for your own vanity. Classic miscalculation. (I think you'll find people end up at a similar pace as you, provided you aren't watching one a week).

A short-term problem, ultimately, though.

Shouldn't you be GLAD I'm writing about a show you're abandoning?
