IS IT MY FAVOURITE EPISODE SO FAR? IT'S MY FAVOURITE EPISODE SO FAR.
After being grounded by her mum, Hilda discovers her neighbour mysteriously disappears and reappears in the blink of an eye.
This episode was a thrilling time travel tale about regret, reminiscing on what could've been and the consequences of your actions. Because GOD DAMN, HILDA DIED TWICE. Speechless noises. It was just so sudden, distressing yet heartfelt. You can see Hilda means well, but since she doesn't think it through, it all goes to hell. I mean, and I can't stress this enough, she got herself killed, twice, as well as several versions of Mr Ostenfeld, as well as Tildy! This episode has so much death!
I like how they imbued the episode's themes with the other two characters, and it was exciting to see Trolberg back in the 20s? No, the themes & premise aren't anything new, but the way the episode presented them struck a chord with me. Bella Ramsey gives another charming performance, and Rasmus Hardiker's Alfur is just as endearing. Seeing the contrast of second-trip Hilda and the third one, hardened and bitter by time, was heartbreaking; I won't forget her sacrifice.
Hilda: "And all things considered, it didn't work out too badly."
Alfur: "We saw our selves die... twice!"
It's heartwarming, tragic and powerful. I've no issues with this episode, and I think it encapsulates what I love about Hilda so much. This episode is beautiful in every sense of the word.

CRAP.
This episode was very problematic, but it got much worse by the episode's end. Crap. Okay, I'll start by saying I liked to see Frida's trippy magic trip and it was hilarious to see the lindworm & the Lost Clan with their codes of honour. It's a shame she killed some of them (I think). Also, Alfur and Wood Man were brilliant. They got some hilarious lines.
But that final scene; I'm just speechless. The build-up, and Bella Ramsey & Daisy Haggard brilliant performances made sure it hit hard.

NOW THAT WAS AN EPIC MID-SEASON EPISODE!
Ahlberg's back at it again, with a devious scheme to install an automated bell system all over Trolberg. But in doing so, every creature—woffs, elves, nisse and trolls—are struggling to live in peace. So Hilda and the gang set out on a daring mission to shut it down, once and for all!
This episode had a fun operation that brings together Hilda, Frida, David, Alfur, Tontu and the lost clan! But not only that, we learn more about the bell keeper. We get a little glimpse into his psyche and what's made him so bitter after all these years. After he saves Hilda's life, he convinced me he was someone we could trust. I loved seeing that character's growth and Hilda unite a group of her friends to come together to stop a common enemy: Ahlberg.
Bartell Bragga, the leader of the lost clan, has a few fun little gags, involving Alfur and combat!
Bartell: "We've declared war on the bell tower. We'll take it down brick by brick. Or die trying!"
It's just all-round fun, epic and satisfying to see Ahlberg crushed by one of the bells he had installed, much like Ernesto de la Cruz from Coco. Except Ahlberg doesn't die.
David: "The pigeons are in the coop. Bartell and Agnes look ready for battle. Alfur... not so much. Over."
It's vast in scope, fun and gathers a large cast to fight for the wilderness' creatures. That twist at the end is very menacing. I also hope Hilda gives Johanna more attention in future episodes; she seems worried all the time.

FANTASTIC!
In this episode, Hilda and the gang visit an old friend, Victoria Van Gale! The last time we saw her, Hilda and David weren't on the best of terms with her, but this time, she says she's changed. But David isn't convinced, so he does his best to uncover her secret plans.
I loved the character arc Hilda went through. She went from dying to enter Nowhere space to the opposite by the episode's end. David gets his time to shine here, Frida's comedic relief and Johanna & Tontu make a return. Alfur's nowhere to be seen, but I didn't mind.
So far, Hilda's second season has been better than I expected! It's gotten a little darker than the last one, but it's still got that childlike wonder and adventure that we all know. Such is the life of an adventurer.

THAT TOOK A DARK TURN.
This episode isn't very PG. I mean, people get decapitated! Including David!
But it was fun, endearing and gave some excellent development for David, who we've only seen so much of this season. I'm glad the writer's dedicated this and the last episode to Frida and David, allowing them a chance to shine. It's nice. I also loved the adventure outside the wall. I don't know about the episode ending with Vikings killing and bringing themselves again and again. This episode was the darkest one yet!

IT'S NICE TO SEE FRIDA AGAIN.
It's even better to see her shine in this episode and show off her strengths in contrast to Hilda's. Also, the worldbuilding, WOW! It's just so interesting to learn more about the fantastical of Trolberg and the Librarian as well. It's nice to see pay-offs for set-ups from Season 1, and get more character development for Frida, Hilda, the Librarian and that old lady Hilda visited once. It's all connected.

EXHILARATING.
It seems that the leader of the Head Officer of Trolberg Safety Patrol, Erik Ahlberg, is going to be this season's villain.
I love the contrasting ideologies of Hilda and Ahlberg. Hilda sees the goodness in nature and its creatures, while Ahlberg sees security breaches and potential ways of elevating his name.
The episode was your standard Hilda adventure, fun, endearing, but not without its conflict. Alfur's still as charming as usual, Hilda's mother's still concerned for her safety and the bell keeper along the wall was surprisingly Scottish. I love it all! There's still some familiar, new but above all, fresh stories set in Hilda's world. I can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store.

REFRESHING.
In preparation for Hilda's second season, I decided to watch one of my (and another friend's) favourite episodes. Season 2 has me so hyped! Let's hope it's as good (or even better) than Season 1.
I'm delighted to see Hilda back in the wilderness. She's been in Trolberg for most of the season, so it's nice to return to the mysterious and unpredictable nature of its inhabitants. Somehow, being there is nostalgic, even though I've never lived there. It's nice.
But above all the forest giants and elves, my favourite wilderness character is Woodman, and he's still as charming & deadpan hilarious as usual. I also love his back and forth with Hilda. His selfish and unsympathetic nature contrast well with Hilda's kind and sympathetic heart. But by the episode's end, he shows genuine compassion.
Hilda: "I guess Trolberg is my home now."
Wood Man: "Well, obviously. For now anyway. And someday your home may be somewhere else. But that doesn't mean you leave your other homes behind. The wilderness will always be a part of who you are. That's why we're such good friends."
Hilda: "We are?"
Wood Man: "Repeating myself makes me anxious. I'll stop by next time I'm in town. Make sure you do the same. Just walk on in."
Anikka, the song that plays during the evening montage and end credits, was so calming. I'm in love with the gentle strums of the guitar and the whistling. It makes me want to huddle by a fire with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold Winter's day.
Chapter 11: The House in the Woods is endearing, fun, and very ominous. It consists of Trolberg, the wilderness and all my favourite characters, which makes for a balanced and heartfelt episode. Showing the journey to & from Trolberg helps connect the two places well, and reminds the audience—not just Hilda—that despite living in a bustling city, the wilderness is still out there.

SPOOKY.
Welp, I just received more questions than answers. I'll admit, it's intriguing, but the episodes still end like nothing's happened. I guess that's a testament to the pacing because the time flew by! I don't have much to say other than I enjoyed it, but I will say that I feel really sorry for Ken. Like, hell, he's the hostage of a psychopath and almost got attacked by some rando in the woods.
I should also mention that those Ted, Fred and Ned guys are creepy. I feel so sorry for Farah and the Missing Persons duo. RIP that FBI guy.

The Mandalorian: "Fett?"
Boba Fett: "Let's just say they might recognise my face."
I burst out laughing. Now that's a reference I can get behind!
It was nice to see Mayfeld again; he's such a charming character. And I was surprised to see Mando go through another character arc. In Season One, he had to get over his prejudice/hate of droids but that all changed when IG-11 proved to him that droids aren't all that bad. In this episode, it took Mayfeld to convince Mando (as well as quite a few others throughout both seasons) to finally let others see his face. I think it really sunk in when he met Bo Katan and her crew, but after losing the kid, he really was desperate. And it was as he said:
The Mandalorian: "He means more to me than you will ever know."
Again, fantastic writing. The twisting of these words, thrown back at Gideon is so menacing and satisfying.

AWESOME!
That was a fun introduction to the ATLA world 70 years later. First, we get introduced to Korra, the world she inhabits and how different it is compared to the one in ATLA. I don't have a huge problem with the modern(ish) technology, but I wish Republic City were less American and more Asian. It would've been cool to see the three nations' architecture blend together to make one harmonious city. What a missed opportunity!
Also, the music was so 20s. I thought it was pretty jarring at some parts, just because of how Asian ATLA was, but it didn't bother me too much.
Now, it's time to talk about the 1920s American influence. Our new Avatar and their world are very different in contrast to Aang and the four nations during the Hundred Year War. In ATLA, Aang had no support group until he found Katara and Sokka. He was humble, almost alone and had the burden of saving the entire world on his shoulders. In this world, though, Korra has all the support she needs. Teachers are just handed to her, and she's got no worries! There aren't any firelords to defeat or elements to master before the Fire Nation takes over; she's free!
Korra's fine in this episode. She's pretty naive, confident, but still quite charming. I mean, she literally convinces Tenzin (J. K. Simmons) to let her stay, despite him insisting she remains in the South Pole and away from Republic City. That scene when she knows what money is but still asks for all that food is baffling. I mean, if you know what money is, then why did you bother?
And Ikki was pretty annoying. The part where she interrupts Jinora was funny but pretty obnoxious.
The animation has "improved", more or less. I thought some of the faces Korra made were weird (there's this one shot in particular, where she's on the boat, travelling to Republic City, and it's just a still image of her hands behind her head, tilted upwards, smiling at the roof). The aspect ratio is wider, the design work is well defined, but in some places, It was just awkward.
Now, I have to mention the bending choreography—it's fine. It's uninspired by any martial arts this time, but it makes sense in-universe. It's been 70 years; the world has moved on and forgotten its traditional roots. They don't do any of those old rituals anymore, so bending is less an extension of the body and more a tool. It's sad, I know, but it's what happens when a world like that industrialises and leaves its tradition behind.
The season seems promising, especially with that ominous ending. Amon's voice is so anime, though.
It was a fun adventure and an effective introduction to a few of the new characters and the world. At least we know what she's aiming for in this Season. The animation is pretty nice, and I appreciate having an aspect ratio that fills my entire screen.
NOTE: I have seen this series before, but I'm going to try to remove as much bias as possible, so I can enjoy it as it is. I'm also going to treat it as a spin-off, rather than a direct sequel. I've found both series to be strikingly different, and since ATLA is on another level, it feels unfair to compare the two. I mean, which one is on the top 250 on IMDB and which one isn't?

INTENSE.
Those were some pretty juicy returning characters. It's great to see what this show's been building up finally pay off. Boba was awesome and Fennec taking out all those Stormtroopers was epic. I can't believe one of the stormtroopers brought out a mortar. And those freaking death troopers! Just like Iron Man.
It was cool to get some action that had tension and stakes. Tython wasn't as cool as I had hoped, but it's still cool to see the planet, nonetheless. I expected waterfalls or grand trees, but I guess I forgot the Jedi put their temple in the middle of a grey, lifeless planet.
The episode was solid and a step up in the stakes department. I liked the returning characters, and the action scenes were way more intense. That scene where Grogu goes full dark side on those Stormtroopers, though.
Also that totally cheesy yet badass scene of Boba Fett obliterating the Empire. It's almost like it's an apology for him being so useless in the films.

WHAT?
So this is what it feels like to be confronted by the Doctor. It's so creepy and annoying how he keeps trying to force Todd onto the case. I've gotta say, a lot is going on in this episode. First, there's Dirk, Todd, his sister, this girl locked upstairs, the "holistic assassin" (poor Ken), the Rowdy 3, the detectives, military and so many more. Jesus Christ.
It was so weird and spontaneous. It wasn't distasteful at any parts, and it never dragged. Instead, it kept on introducing something every few minutes.
I'm intrigued, but I'm uncertain my curiosity will be paid off in future episodes. For now, it was fun, not particularly emotional but never boring.

I WONDER WHO THE JEDI COULD BE...?
Wow. Rosaria Dawson played a decent Ahsoka Tano. I really miss Ashley Eckstein's voice work, but this older Ahsoka did well nonetheless.
Also, Dave Filoni! Of course, he directed this. Ahsoka's from one of the biggest characters from the critically acclaimed animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which he heavily worked on that elevated his name to the high regard it holds today.
I also liked that new planet, Corvus. It was just so dead, with all that dirt, green haze and leafless trees; mysterious and spooky. Also, the town that Mando enters is so menacing. The people who don't want to talk to him and the masked guards, with voice modulators reminiscent of the Death Troopers, made for such an ominous atmosphere.
I like how the only guy Mando talked to was the old Magistrate. They didn't need to tell us he was; they just showed him helping the townsfolk, instructing them and gets a set of robes put on him at the end. He also saved my boy's (Mando) life.
BABY YODA NAME DROP!!!
"Grogu"? that's Baby Yoda/the Child's name?! It's cute; I like it. I don't know if his name will reach most people, though. My friends might not believe me. I also liked his backstory and what Ahsoka decided to do with him. I mean it's obvious, given the way we've seen him around Mando, so her decision makes sense.
However, I'm confused as to why they call Ahsoka a Jedi. Didn't she leave the order? Didn't she get those white lightsabers to show she's not a Jedi (or Sith)? I thought she was in this grey area, that made her free from the Jedi and their dark past and burdens? The Star Wars wiki legit says she's a force-sensitive outcast (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Force-Sensitive_Outcast#Ahsoka_Tano)
GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN NAME-DROP. LET'S GO!!!
In the end, it was a solid (non-filler) episode. We got more worldbuilding, homages to established Star Wars material, and a fun, action-adventure set on a desolate, The Lorax kind of planet.

THEY LIKE ENDING WITH A TWIST, DON'T THEY?
I'm glad they finally told Don and Gilda, that was a touching moment. At the start, I thought Don was an imbecile but after seeing him talk about his powerlessness.
The morse code was interesting; more mysteries that are really intriguing.
In the end, another solid episode. Don is a lot smarter than he looks too. He's just frustrated, and I can understand that.

Some of the faces Sister Krone makes is literal nightmare fuel. God, that woman is gonna give me nightmares. She also moves fast. Very fast. She's also smarter than I anticipated. The way she catches the younger children (how do you do that with those leaves?) and figures out who were the ones down at the gate the other night.

I admire Emma's enthusiasm and Norman's support for her, but I've gotta side with Ray on this one. There's no way they're gonna get everyone out safely. We'll see. The twist at the end doesn't make their job look any easier.

POOR MYTHROL!
Another fun episode following Mando and the Child back to Nevarro. I've got to say: I like how Nevarro has changed. Not only has Cara Dune cleaned up the town, but they've established a school in place of the cantina! How awesome is that?
Baby Yoda's (the Child) shenanigans were fun. First Mando gets him to help rewire the ship (I'm surprised he didn't die from the electric shock) and later steals some macaroons from a kid at school. Just all-round hilariously cute!
This episode also gave us some insight into Moff Gideon's plans. He's got some weird science experiments going on and when Doctor Pershing says "M-count", I'm guessing he was talking about Midichlorians. I mean, they're stealing midi-chlorians from Baby Yoda and injecting them into other people?. Is Moff Gideon trying to make force-sensitive super-soldiers?
My only complaint about this episode would be the conflict. Although the episode delivers a crap ton of new mysteries, our heroes kill stormtroopers way too easily, with the sense that there wasn't any tension and I never felt they were in any peril.
Overall, it's a fun episode, with new mysteries that I can't wait to find the answers to in future episodes. Also, I haven't forgotten about Ahsoka! PLEASE, SHOW ME AHSOKA!
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK ON NEVARRO.

DEVASTATING.
I took a little break from BoJack since I was starting to feel burnt out after watching more than my usual one to two episodes a day. This episode was a fantastic way for me to get back into the groove and in typical BoJack fashion, it got me comfortable before leaving me with a gut-wrenching ending.
The first thing I noticed was the reversal of our main characters' roles. Instead of BoJack, Princess Carolyn, Mr Peanutbutter, Diane and Todd as our heroes, we get Vanessa Gecko and Rutabaga.
It was interesting how our character's paths converged and separated. BoJack's foolish choices, PC's past actions, Diane & Mr Peanutbutter dealing with the potential death of his brother, Captain Peanutbutter and the downfall of Todd's company. All of their actions ultimately had severe consequences which were both sad and beautiful to watch. At the start, it's all going great before the episode ends with crushing blows to all of these beloved characters. BoJack ends up without a gig, letting down Kelsey and Princess Carolyn. Without any of the gigs, the pressure and stress of PC's company's situation get to her as she reveals her insecurities, lashing out on Judah before apologising and telling him to go home. Mr Peanubutter has to deal with the difficult truth that his brother could pass away. And it ends with Gecko and Rutabega, celebrating their victory because they're "the good guys."
The episode's ending was heart-breaking, and it reminded me that this show wasn't made to make you feel good. It's made to portray real people with unforgiving and messed up lives. It was so strange to see characters who've been predominantly portrayed as villains, celebrating while the main cast is depressed on New Years Day.

BO-KATAN!
This was the episode I was waiting for from this season. Finally, we progress a little bit of the season's overarching goal, and we get everyone's suspicions confirmed. Bo-Katan and Ahsoka Tano are coming to the Mandalorian!
Not only this, but we finally get an explanation as to why Mando acts so different compared to those in other Star Wars media (e.g. Star Wars: The Clone Wars). He's apart of a Mandalorian clan (cult) who wants to restore the original way of the Mandalore. It all makes sense now.
Seeing him interact with Bo-Katan and think they're fake Mandalorians at first was pretty amusing. It's quite a "fish out of water" moment.

WHAT A WAY TO BEGIN SEASON 2!
This episode has some fan-service I actually like. You'll find so much stuff from other Star Wars media here, and I feel so rewarded for being a longtime fan. I mean, we got Boba Fett's armour (worn by Cobb Vanth)!, Temuera Morrison and a Krayt Dragon! It's funny, because a lot of this stuff I've already known about and first discovered, years ago, after reading one of the Aftermath books. To see all of these characters and concepts come to life was such a treat. Especially that short story about Cobb Vanth. It plays out exactly as I imagined it when I was reading the book!
This episode was so much fun. The runtime didn't drag, the scenery is gorgeous, and I like where this season is going. It was nice to see Amy Sedaris again, as well as the Tuskens, but to see Mando exploring Tatooine was something I didn't know I needed.
Was there a compelling narrative? No. Were there any compelling themes? Not really. But the scale and the score (Ludwig Göransson rocks!) were phenomenal. The VFX team are flexing their budget.
Now here are some of my notes:
Overall, this episode was a fantastic expansion of pre-established locations and characters while doing an excellent job to flesh out Tatooine beyond cantinas and towns. It is very reminiscent of a Western, and I urge everybody to check it out. This is the most fun I've had watching any Mandalorian episode, and I think a lot of you would agree.
IT'S FUN.

Mickey is such a treat.
Every one of his lines, Noel Clarke's performance: it's all golden.
I wish they dedicated an episode to the cost of travelling with the Doctor and I wish Rose faced more consequences (although she faced more than I expected and I'm glad it lingered long enough).
The scenes where the soldiers listen to the Doctor, no questions asked, was a bit far fetched. I mean, couldn't these extras have improvised some lines or something? Whenever the Doctor talks to them, they just stare at him and each other in silence. It's so weird.

BoJack. Why would you give out such sensitive information to the person who works for the newspaper company that's trying to convince you to subscribe to their service?
I forgot about Character Actress Margo Martindale, so it was great to see what she's been up to since The Shot. It's funny how she has to leave the theatre because she's starting to get recognition for her acting.
This episode was unexpectedly deep. It was funny, as usual, and it took an approach most episodes don't. It just had BoJack talking to the "Closer" about his life.
It's a shame to see how the guilt was eating up Emily and how she had to give the "talk" to Todd and say goodbye.
"This is my campaign, I know what I'm doing. Call up Turteltaub and tell him I won't be pushed around on this. I'm the star and what I say goes."
I'm glad BoJack finally took some control in his life (although they one part of it for laughs at the end), it was satisfying.

I guess it all worked in the end. Diane managed to turn a teen celebrity into somebody who made something surprisingly tasteful and weirdly educational.
It was surprising to see Diane be humbled again but even more surprising to see Princess Carolyn express her resentment towards Diane and her life in front of her. Diane is quite lucky, so I root for Princess Carolyn on this front.
The BoJack and Ana storyline was interesting. I'm glad she decided to put her other clients aside and focus on BoJack because she sees him as a challenge. It makes sense. Her way of telling it was unnecessary.

Diane, I can relate.
Princess Carolyn's assistant is my now favourite recurring side character.
In this episode, Diane gets high, BoJack crashes a wedding, Princess Carolyn goes on some blind dates and Todd is struggling with getting intimate. Despite how disconnected these might sound, they're actually all tied together by the complications of romance and work.
When we find Diane and Mr Peanutbutter in a therapy session, it turns out that the writer, Diane, struggles to express her feelings. But after getting high at a party, she finally finds the right words to tell Mr Peanutbutter, before she breaks her arm, goes to the Doctor and learns that SHE'S FRIGGIN PREGNANT! WHAT?
"Lay off the drugs. Especially now."
"Why, especially now?"
"Oh, don't worry. Your baby's fine."
"What do you mean "baby"? Why did you say "baby"?
"Do you not know? You're pregnant."
"Motherf--"
For BoJack, his words for one of the women of the hour accidentally start her to doubt herself, which leads her to cancel the wedding. The woman's father asks BoJack to talk some sense into her, but Bojack tells him, as we know, that his words tend to have the opposite effect. But when he finds the woman, crying in the toilets, he opens up.
"Yes, thank you, exactly. Settle. Because otherwise you're just gonna get older and harder and more alone. And you're gonna do everything you can to fill that hole, with friends and your career, and meaningless sex, but the hole doesn't get filled. And one day, you're gonna look around, and you're going to realise that everybody loves you, but nobody likes you. And that is the loneliest feeling in the world."
After two awful dates, Princess Carolyn finally meets someone who she actually has a good time with. But because she knows her days off are rare, she's worried it isn't going to work. It's heartbreaking because he seems like a nice guy, and I want Princess Carolyn to be happy. Maybe it'll work out?
"Tell you what, here's my card. If you're ever free, give me a call. If not, I'll just meet somebody else and invite you to the wedding."
"Oh, thanks."
"You don't have to come, but send a gift."
Todd, after 9 years (I'm guessing) meets Emily, whom he hasn't seen since he left escaped her apartment in The BoJack Horseman Show. After coming up with a business idea with Emily, she seems ready to do it with him again, like last time. But this time, Todd stalls before he refuses. You can see he likes her and that she likes him, but you can tell Todd's not ready.
"Oh, well, I'm pretty drunk."
"Yeah, but it seems like you're--"
"Maybe I should just go to bed. I'm, uh, I'm feeling kind of sick."
"Oh, yeah. Okay."
