    I think in the US we're basically going to end up doing, while not the exact same thing, something similar. Probably in the name of combating "disinformation."

    The Tendi thing gives them options. They can do something with that next season, or just revert to the norm if they’d rather have her back with the main cast.

    Not exactly an original opinion but I hate this. I watch ads on my Roku app, I watch them on the mobile app, can't they just let it go on web browser? This just wreaks of greed

    I hope we’re done with those robots. Jeffrey Combs is a lot of fun as the evil supercomputer but I really don’t want to see anymore major plot lines around them.

    One of my big complaints in the earlier seasons was that the show wasn’t very funny for a comedy, but it’s actually getting better. The whole Ferengi tv thing was great.

    The resolution to the Rutherford and Tendi subplot was interesting to me in that it made explicit the way that their easy familiarity with each other as best friends and coworkers is predicated on a blithe, willful obliviousness to any other romantic feelings between them. I’m curious to see how that plays out in future episodes.

    It really feels like Filoni is struggling to adapt to live action filmmaking. You would think someone from animation would direct more dynamically and with a tighter rhythm but everything is so glacially paced. Which I don’t normally mind but this is supposed to be action adventure. I can’t tell if it’s the studio demanding they squeeze more runtime out of this to justify the budget for streaming or if he’s just so in awe of seeing his characters come to life that he wants to linger on them forever.

    I’m glad that the show has steadily improved throughout the season. Im actually looking forward to new episodes now instead of watching out of a sense of ritual obligation.

    The show’s casting has been very hit or miss for me. I love Mikkelson as the voice of Thrawn, but be doesn’t quite look the part and I kind of wish they had recast. Ezra on the other hand is terrific. I don’t know where they found this guy, but I bought him 100% from the jump and his reveal didn’t disappoint.

    He’s kind of a legacy act at this point but his tours still sell like crazy and he’s had some pretty successful projects in the last few years.
