Maybe the take away is supposed to be that Ginny really gets Perry even when he is wrong? I wish he had given a clear apology though. 

One of the many things I love about the show is how they handle the identity changes of legacy characters and weave them into the fabric of the stories being told.

Was a good season, and I hope they get to continue. Rhys is really good in an understated way and there is so much territory to mine in 1930s Los Angeles.

I liked Camilla as a morally bankrupt civic leader. and Hope Davis was great and far more diabolical than I thought Davis could pull off. No wonder she barely flinched bee-bagging. Initially, I thought the father Lydell was going to be the one pulling strings because Paul Raci just sucks all the wind out of a…

If I’m remembering faces correctly, the woman who OD’d was the same woman who was playing the piano for Nygaard’s fundraiser earlier in the season. She was her former student. Which makes me wonder if Phippsy and she didn’t meet through Nygaard. Phippsy obviously resents her for some reason. I wonder if there isn’t…

Pete’s post-fight barf was a nice touch.

Of course it was Mrs. Nygaard. Ebert had a rule about who the killer was, and her butler fit that bill I think. The montage of her playing the piano as we check in on our characters was well done. The why she did it was interesting, as the show incorporated real world events pretty cleverly and I loved the end-credits…

Ohhhh, I was so close in last week’s comment section. Smuggling past the oil embargo instead of environmental cover-up, but otherwise got it right. If there is a super-rich person just hanging around the periphery of a noir story you can pretty much guaranty they are the ultimate baddie.

We all know the real first F-bomb in Star Wars was Maarva’s “Fuck the Empire!” in her posthumous Andor speech, but the Mouse wouldn’t have it.

The 1st season of Picard wasn’t that bad.

I agree, what I liked about Vadic at first and even the Changelings was that it was just a small group trying to do this, it wasn’t some giant galactic threat. Also the fleet being compromised by syncing up has been done with both Lower Decks and Prodigy int he past few months. That’s just weird.

youre not wrong in the slightest. all new star trek, minus LD and SNW, is doing the “galaxy ending” season enders and its so passé at this point. well i guess technically SNW did, but it was a time travel episode and mostly centered on why Pike needs to go through his eventual future so it was undone. hell, even…

But I don’t. Because I enjoyed TNG but I just don’t feel the pull of this story and am incredibly cynical of how REMEMBER THIS the whole project has been.

Yeah, they’ve been all over the place with the timeline. I remember before the premiere producers were saying that 10 years had passed since season 2, which would have made Speelers’ age a bit more reasonable (but he has a babyface). And also because it seems to me that it would take more than 2 years for Seven to go…

Can I also just say that the shuttle somehow darting away from the ENTIRE F-ing STARFLEET is the most ludicrous sci fi moment since the Imperials somehow couldn’t shoot down ten slow-moving escape ships with a fleet of Star Destroyers in Last Jedi?

Yeah, I thought this episode explained the beskar mystery pretty handily. And as others have pointed out, there’s no rule that says only Mandalorians can have this very useful metal so it’s silly for the characters to have assumed the culprit was Mandalorian to begin with.

Good episode, but the bitching and complaining continues. So what if this sets up a larger story. Is that not what most people wanted - something better than the Sequels? Hell, even if this and other shows come up with a halfway decent explanation of Palp’s return, it’s still more effort than was ever put into the…

Moff Gideon was broken out of New Republic custody and that whoever did it was wearing Mandalorian armor.

At least one spy is the literal spy that they open on in the beginning - Gideon’s informant on Coruscant. And she touches off most of the interesting action in the episode, as a result of alerting Gideon.

Other than that... I can’t think of any. But I think it’s a reference to Gideon himself, who was Imperial…

LOL, good point. A “you can skip these” list would be shorter.
