I’m not sure what to do with such a cogent and concise answer.  This reeks of civil discourse, and has no place in Comments.

The props team who designed Inclusive Castle deserve a raise. I just about choked to death laughing at a “Systemically Oppressed Taco” on the taco truck menu.

Anyone else notice how Natalie’s show shamelessly panders to BanShe’s algorithm? The BanShe rep said that people were more likely to watch the whole show if the season starts with someone eating a dessert and if it incorporates Central Park.

You just know that Medusa show runner is based on an actual guy Bill Hader worked with at some point.

I feel like everyone would have been fine if they had just listened to Mitch. 

Fuck this show has so many layers to it. Sally’s storyline felt weirdly aligned with the Amber Heard trial. Domestic abuse victims internalizing their abuse and then the public not understanding that this is a pretty typical response of domestic violence. Because Sally was violent nobody will ever believe someone was…

Finally, a show that’s not afraid to skewer sacred cows like Lindsey Graham and America beloved MAGA movement.

I mean, if you made it a season and a half in, you know what it is. If that thing is not for you, then it’s not.

Totally agree. I think I’d probably focus less on the issues with canon, even if they’d still be a little annoying, if the show did a better job of being internally consistent.

But it doesn’t. It’s all writing to moments rather than letting moments organically happen.

I’m a firm believer in the idea that if you can come up with a good enough story, that outweighs any idea that the story “didn’t need to be expanded on.” They’re just not doing a good enough job here: far too much clumsy writing and direction, and bringing in elements like Leia and Vader that are really obviously just…

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.

That stormtrooper who sliced his entire body in half on the laser barrier says “hi”.  (Well, “AAAAAAAUG--” but also hi.)

This series has the same root problem that Solo and The Book of Boba Fett had. It’s Disney expanding on a story that doesn’t need to be expanded, just because they had a character they liked. They were so happy that they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.

A few caveats:

I’m starting to suspect the entire genesis of this show was someone realizing “Vader never did finish that line, ‘I sense something, a presence I’ve not felt since...”.

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!!!”

Easily my favourite of anything since the original trilogy. Yes the first Act is weak and most of the characters aren’t well-developed but it’s not a character-drama. It’s a pretty good to great war movie.
