And the way he refuses to tell them what he wants is so effective, psychologically, so that actually telling them what to do becomes a concession. Killgrave is an amateur by comparison.

It's only now the next morning that I realize this reminds me of shows that found out belatedly they'd be cancelled and tried to tie everything up in the last episode (Rome, Carnivale, Pushing Daisies).

It's especially non-bleak given that I was convinced that that final tremor would take down the house with Jill & Laurie inside, and Kevin could blame himself because he'd told them to stay there.

I feel like Mary got a little lost in the shuffle. Her first reactions were great (wonderful delivery of "You mean when we had sex?"), but I kept wondering what she was thinking of all the insanity that was happening but there was no time to get verbal reactions. Maybe if they'd even done it a little later in the…

Is there such a thing as a serial attempted killer? Because John is racking up the live-body count.

I was afraid for a bit he'd gone to the almost-empty mirror world where the Departed went.

Amy Poehler would have a bunch!

It's good that they told us Luminara's fate right away so we wouldn't be Unduli distracted by speculation.

I never really minded obnoxious early Ahsoka because I felt she really was the padawan Anakin deserved.

There's always the force choke. They establish that it isn't decisive in fights between approximate equals (Duku/Yoda/Palpatine) but when there's a big force imbalance it's possible he could just use it to pin her to the mat and slice her up (not that I think the show would let it get that far).

True, but there's definitely a philosophy of inter-connectedness that goes with the discipline, so if not religious I'd say it's at least mystical.

Those are binary emotional droplets, very similar to tears in many respects.

Yeah, when she was searching around the ship I was expecting to hear Vader's breath at any moment. Amazing what it can do to have a likable character whose death would be not only easy but downright convenient for the whole franchise.

If Yoda turns out to have contacted Ahsoka, or vice-versa, I'd be unsurprised., though I assume just in visions rather than on Dagobah. And keeping Vader's identity hidden from everyone (later including Luke) does potentially make sense, both from not telling people Jedis can go bad and also as part of a "don't let…

I almost said that a planet can have more than one climate region, but then remembered what galaxy I was talking about.

And perhaps Ahsoka's experience with Anakin makes her believe that a padawan like Ezra should go with the Jedi he's most compatible with, rather than the most learned one (much as she was not given to Obi Wan, as Obi & Ani momentarily assumed she had been).

Yeah, I'm hoping Ahsoka's two-saber technique bespeaks having spent some more time teamed up with Ventress between movies.

Hey, Kanan himself bemoaned that the Stormtrooper armor doesn't protect you from anything (after Ezra stunned him).

Note that by "Ultimate" I mean in-universe as a companion to a Time Lord. It doesn't mean necessarily the best character for a television show. My favorites on that front are always changing but Donna usually tops the list, and there was a lot less "nature of companionship" stuff in her day.

Yeah, Clara is in her way the Ultimate Companion, and they set that up from her Impossible Girl status to her impersonation of the Doctor to the end. Of course, Rose & River could also claim the UC status, but in different ways. I just hope that they realize that they should go in a very different direction with the…
