I think the drone shot of Neagley and Dixon getting to the house is my favorite shot of the entire series.
Loved the Blade Runner vibes in this episode. nice way to start off the season.
Wondered why it felt like I'd just watched this episode and then I remember my son had the bool with this story out from the library last week.
So glad to have a meatier episode. I could tell right away this was one that Filoni directed. Going to have to go back and rewatch some CW for those flashback scenes.
Somehow these shows always have me missing the days when an episode was a standard hour (with commercials). This was so short after the first two tremendous episodes.
That said, I liked the training sequence and we got to see some Force stuff that was newish during the space battle. Still waiting for the big baddie to show his face but damn if that bureaucracy doesn't keep getting in the way.
What an end to the season! This had really strong "I am Locutus of Borg" vibes at the end and can't wait for another dose whenever we get it.
Part of my really hates that we know the fate of certain characters. I mean, I never truly thought Chapel and Spock were in any peril. However, I was distracted enough by the action in the second half of the episode that I didn't think about the fact that M'Benga, La'an, and Ortegas were missing until the very end. I absolutely love those characters and don't want them to go anywhere, but it opens up spots for McCoy and Sulu. Especially since they chose this moment to introduce Scotty and we've already seen Kirk in this season, I feel like it's only a matter of time before we put the rest of the originals together
That said, this episode had me on the edge of my seat, and left plenty of things open ended going into the next season. My hope is that the Hollywood studios figure their stuff out yesterday with the writers and actors and get back to production on content like this. This is what we need and the fact that we might have to wait two years before we find out what happens to these great characters pains me to no end.
After all was said and done in this episode, I'm a bit confused and conflicted. I get that this was supposed to show the toll that war can take on those involved, but the ending seemed very abrupt. There were no consequences for M'Benga in this episode and with only two left in the season, I wonder if they will ever come. I think the individual character focused episodes this season have been great, but this one just felt a bit "off". I still stand by my earlier love of the Clint Howard cameo though. :)
Tried and true Trek theme with the time travel and after nearly sixty years it works just as well as it always has. While I missed most of the rest of the crew throughout the episode, I loved seeing Christina Chong nail the ending and give her character some added depth. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings us throughout the summer!
Television needs more 10 minute cold opens like that.
Best Star Wars music video since Duel of the Fates! That was fun!
Who needs seven samurai when you have one... saber-weilding former Sith to protect your town. And all for the price of one repaired droid.
Absolutely loved seeing the care and thought that went into the final episode of Season 2. Appreciate the consideration from Favreau on how the technology of deepfakes can be used for good or for ill, and making sure that artists like this group are using it for the right reasons while at the same time, thinking about how to technologically keep things under control in the future in the interest of maintaining truthfulness.
Excellent job by all involved.
Grogu sounds just right. Best episode of the season so far in my estimation. Felt like it paid off the build up of the last four episodes though, and sets things up for a fantastic sprint to the end of the season.
First episode of the season started off so strong and I was a bit disappointed with this one. Hopefully this is a setup for bigger things to come, but...meh.
