The editing in this episode was Emmy worthy, outstanding season so far!
Ladies and gentlemen, Kieran Culkin, the 2023 Emmy winner.
Great finale! Looks like we won't have to wait too long for the second season judging by the trailer at the end it seems like it's already shot.
So satisfying to watch Cartwright and Lamb stick it to that evil woman
This episode is the apotheosis of "No matter what's the problem, humans will always be the biggest problem to this World"
“Robert DeNoNo” - Ava is the funniest.
-“We’re a non-profit.” - “Who said I was gonna pay you?”
“Were you born without a funny bone?”
“Legendary Charters?? If anyone is gonna take advantage of this school district, it's gonna be me.” - I know Ava is supposed to be the “not caring” principle but when she steps up, she truly does. Ava, Barbara, Melissa are the trio I didn’t know I needed, they will be unstoppable.
“I'm going to Bone Town with Maurice, and then I'm going to break up with him... If I'm going to be doing this then I need to be full of meat and covered in sauce.” - This entire conversation was just perfection.
“What has gone so wrong in my life that I send my kids to Abbott?” Hahaha
I like that Ava is so annoyed by Janine that anyone who annoys her is automatically called Janine. The callback to her secret bathroom was brilliant.
The final mural was so good. Especially the individual tiles that represent each student. A wonderful compromise was settled upon.
This wasn't quite the beginning I waited for a whole year. It had way to much action for action's sake. Oh, and way too short for a season premiere.
Started good though. I thought at first this would be some kind of flashback to when Din got his helmet. The monster fight did absolutely nothing other then sugar coat CGI. But we find out what will be the quest for this season: Redemption.
The Navarro part was OKish. I had kind of feared one of the pirates would turn out to be Hondo. Like I expected they explain Cara away with one sentence. Shame that she's no longer there as she really was a great character with potential. Great idea bringin back IG88. We'll see how this plays out.
The space battle was again just showcasing CGI, which does look great, but really did nothing then add action. I kind of fear those pirates will be along for the ride this year.
Din's meeting with Bo Katan was interesting and I hope we see a lot of her this year.
The ONE thing that had my blood pumping were the creatures that Grogu saw in Hyperspace. Those were purgill, no ? Now that's an interesting thing to show us.
Still, the pieces are in place and I'm exited for the story to unfold.
This is it folks, this is peak television. What we have here is one of the most gut wrenching and masterfully crafted episodes ever brought to screen. Absolutely fucking phenomenal with career best performances from Murray Bartlett and Nick Oferman. Holy shit this will stick with me.
Fight the urge to hate the show because you feel like Charlie Brown to Lucy - remember that this is one of the most realistic portrayals of the Silicon Valley and the business world, and importantly, that the show probably wouldn't be as interesting if things just worked out perfectly after two seasons.
