Yeah, it’s the one thing that bothered me with the fourth season of The Expanse. Weekly releases seemed perfect- enough time to rewatch or ponder the episode before the next one rolled along.

Different show, different rules.

Seconded.

Now I’m worried that the series won’t stick the landing.
It was OK so far, enjoyable certainly, relatively smart about getting in its alotted fan service, even with not too many original bones in its body. But now....
So many questions.
Why do Mando&Co. not wait a little longer to head into town, giving Kuill a bit more…

I’m sure there are (hmm, a good excuse as any to re-watch Lester’s Musketeers films!), but most often the examples that spring to mind are the most recent ones.

I think the “selling point” of both moves is that they’re unexpected. Letting go of one’s weapon tends to be. The guard thinks he’s got Rey bang to rights, maybe he thinks his twisting her arm is what’s causing it. Similarly, the Night King thinks he’s caught Arya like a trapped animal- you can see him begin to follow…

Also something similar here:

Dear Gods, I’m so glad I bailed on this show two episodes ago.

“A good authority figure”? Last season she was happy to go along with Emperor Georghiou’s suggestion to end the war by commiting planetary genocide on the Klingon homeworld, and a few episodes ago she dismissed Pike’s objections to Section 31's methods with a flippant “nation building is never easy”. Admittedly we’ve…

What the hey? Really hadn’t spotted that.

We probably are ;-)

SARU: You must promise me you won’t let your emotions overcome you.
BURNHAM: They won’t.

[Warp jump effect]

BURNHAM: (encounters shipmate from the Shenzou)
BURNHAM: (tearful emotional outburst)


They’re not even trying, are they?

Or it’s because he’s the captain of the particular ship- sort of called by function, not by rank?

Oh alright, I’ll give you that technicality if it means that much to you.

So far you’ve moved to goalposts from “it’s Georghiou’s fault” to “you can’t blame Burnham” to “there no’s no evidence capturing the Klingon would end the war” to “alright, capturing the Klingon would end the war”. Can you at least set up a final defense line somewhere? It’ll help the conversation immensely.
If you…

They have an interesting take on civilian clothes, that’s for sure. Weren’t there some strange outfits in the Harry Mudd episode as well? “Strange” in the sense that they don’t gel easily with the uniform designs that we’ve had so far.

“Captain, you can’t do that. T’Kuvma has anointed himself the next Klingon messiah. If you kill him, you make him a martyr. Someone they can fight for endlessly. That might even be what he wants.
But if you capture him, you make him a symbol of defeat. Of shame. And if you take him as a prisoner of war, you give the…

That would have been great. It would also require the show to allow Burnham to be less messianic, so them going with that kind of idea is as likely as a nudist surviving on the surface of Rura Penthe.

I’m only taking what the show gives us, and there never was any inkling that capturing T’Kuvma would not stop the war.
Burnham had a choice between an action that she knew would cost the lives of thousands and an action that she knew would save the lives of thousands. She chose the former. She must bear the…

Also an interesting design choice to have the security buffer override located off the bridge so that in an emergency requiring it the ship has to go without its captain for a while.
