Obi-Wan Kenobi: Season 1

1x05 Part V

Okay, so the action is still pretty bad, and the Reva stuff is every bit as predictable as it seemed. BUT I'm glad we're FINALLY getting some of the stuff that we were promised! The flashbacks with Anakin, although not perfect, are what I wanted from this show. I just wish that they had started with these much sooner, rather than the second-to-last episode of the show.

Also, I know the Reva wasn't exactly on Vader's side, but her sending Obi-Wan inside with two stormtroopers when it would have made much more sense for her to just keep him outside exactly where he was with the rest of the troops and her... that was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

IDK how this show manages to keep doing it, but every episode just seems to have dumber and dumber writing decisions and it's truly painful to watch. Vader is being written as a total moron. Why on earth would they just leave Reva alive like that? It makes absolutely no sense.

I've said it almost every episode, but it still rings true - I really want to love this show, but I just CAN'T. I'll give this one a 5.5 simply because it was a fun watch despite all the horrible issues.

@ragreynolds I feel you so much. I had such high hopes - not necessarily founded ones but high nonetheless. I want to like it bad but it just disappoints.
