I'm with you. It was very un-Star Wars…which can be a good thing sometimes! Using the same formula over and over gets old, as we witnessed with the criticism of TFA. I don't want the show to do too much of this, but I loved the weirdness in this small dose.

That joke completely flew over my kids' heads. I'm not sure how I feel about a reference to our galaxy in Star Wars, but given those goldfish I'm not actually sure anything in this episode happened so I'll allow it.

Ha, the zipper thing didn't even occur to me, but now that you mention it, it doesn't really make sense. Definitely more of an audio clue than something grounded in logic.

I think this was one of those episodes most people will either love or hate. I loved it, mainly for the unapologetic weirdness of AP-5's musical moment with the space goldfish (there was something very Futurama about that scene, with a hint of Hitchhiker's Guide as well), and then the incredibly hilarious visual of…

My money is on Ezra falling to the Dark Side or at least being seduced by it to the extent that he ends up causing Kanan's death, then he goes into exile. Which would explain why neither is around in Ep. 4.

As logistically improbable as it was, I'll be damned if the shot of all the ships arriving at the end didn't give me chills. That was a great episode, and it was terrific to see the spotlight on two strong, competent women. The nebula scene reminded me of the Lasat episode in the best way (although the visuals and…

How did none of the ships hit each other? Amazing.

And this perfectly sets up what I imagine will be Kallus sacrificing himself for the rebels after they've lost trust in him, leading them to realize he was on their side all along (well, recently, anyway).

Maybe this is too much to ask, but I feel like there was a missed opportunity here to gain more insight into Kallus's character. When I saw the title of the episode I thought it would be exclusively from Kallus's POV, showing his everyday life and how he deals with being a spy and gathers intel and all that. (Does the…

The sled episode solidified for me that she's truly a selfish, awful person. I can handle wacky, and even annoying characters as long as they're decent at heart. I really don't think Gayle is, I think she's a manipulative narcissist.

Yeah, this is a terrible and pretty offensive comparison. I've seen the whole season, so I don't want to give anything away, but even from the get-go I think it's obvious that the "synthies" are using it to deal with trauma or depression, and that it IS a choice. Humans aren't hardwired to be robots, full stop,…

From Filoni's comments on that it sounds like season four probably won't be happening, so this might be a moot point.

Yeah, that was VERY weird, especially since it's been established over and over that the Ghost crew is a family and they openly love and care for each other. I mean, that was the very reason Kallus started thinking of defecting! To see Ezra being like "meh" rang way false to me.

Well, damn. While it makes narrative sense for Sabine to stay, I'm not thrilled that we're now down to just one major female character on the show. My kids adore Sabine, especially my daughter. Hera is great, but my kids see her as a mom and don't relate to her like they do Sabine. It's fine that Rebels isn't afraid…

I hated the last few episodes of the first season, but thought season two was terrific. Give it a chance!

Season one started off strong but lost me with all the synth family stuff, and wasn't there something about a tree? I was hesitant to start season two but I'm so glad I did, it was worlds better than the sum of the first season. Carrie-Ann Moss did a particularly good job, and Marshall Allman was perfectly cast as the…

Exactly! We think Trent is super creepy, and he is, but everything he does is similar to something Rebecca has done. The Trent-centric episode where he goes to West Covina and befriends Josh and co. is disturbing, but literally exactly what Rebecca herself did.

I think Greg's departure was needed for this episode, and the setup for next season, to work. I'm just going to assume that was Santino's rationale, heh. But we really needed to have seen Rebecca, in real time, be abandoned by a man she loved, AND have Josh know about it, for this to have the emotional impact it did.

I really hope that her fuck you to her father, who is the reason for so many of her issues, starts her down a better, stronger path. Probably not, but maybe.

This episode really hammered home to me that Josh is just as fucked up and sociopathic as Rebecca. I am not in any sense okay with what he did. It was completely horrendous.
