Ok, so I was wrong, and we were double-bluffed: Q-master turned out to be Darth Venom. Although if the Sith never reveal themselves as Sith ("except for that one time..."), then logically he's lying and can't be Sith... There were definitely some good bits in this episode. I liked that they killed off main cast people and not just redshirts - that definitely ups the stakes. Although it would have been better if we'd actually had some decent character moments in previous episodes so we felt more invested in them. The lightsabre battle was well done in general, but it felt undisciplined, especially for Jedi "masters", or at least fully trained ones. Jecki died an honourable warrior's death. But Yord died of disobedience. By not following orders, not only was he killed, but he lost Osha, whose protection was specifically his mission. Had he survived, he'd have been up for what we'd call an "interview without cookies"! Them walking off and leaving the dead on the ground at the end left a really sour taste. The Jedi are better than that. 180 million and a team of writers, and they end the battle with the bad guy carried off by giant moths and a "kick me" sign on his back??? I mean, that's the best they can come up with??? Sponsorship deal of the week: Lightsabres by L'Oreal... because we're worth it. I think if they'd combined episodes 4 & 5 into one 45 minute episode, it'd be pretty decent. As it is, I give it 7 triple Ds: Disobedient Dead Doofus. My prediction for ep 6 is that Basil gets the chop. He's the one that can obviously identify Mae. Also, Mae only has to kill Sol, who she's with, and she's completed her original mission. Job done, The End, book now for season 2...

It was a good, suspenseful episode. Rating 8 triple Fs... force finger flick. I think Qymir is the master. Catfish, you know I love you but I have to take issue with your kill list double D... Daryl disparagement. At 77 he's in better shape than most his age. Yeah he's lost a step or two but still sings as good or better than any of his contemporaries

My money is on Trinity/Indara. Remember how we were all outraged that she was killed in the pre-title by a mere butter knife? Well . . . it was a fake! Why? well, it's been done before, many times. And.... Carrie Anne Moss. You don't hire that kind of actor and kill them off in the first 5 minutes (ok, Samuel L Jackson in Deep Blue Sea notwithstanding). Tim Robbins in Silo --- villain. So, the only really well know actress... of course she's the villain!

There's actually precedent on Jedi faking their death for a covert op. Kenobi faked his death to impersonate a bounty hunter for a bigger operation during the Clone Wars. Albeit they used technology to change his facial structure and voice. Tech that will never be used again in the Star Wars universe.

There was no way the production team was going to traumatize those child actors to give us a accurate Blood and Cheese scene.
@DoublePMedia9 күн бұрын
Understand that point, however I don't think they'd have to SHOW anything more graphic/gore. imo what I didn't connect with the panic, dread, fear, ticking clock of death, etc. PG-rated Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window gave me more 'oh no' chills than this scene. Hope others liked it. Want to hear everyone's thoughts!
@Guinnessdrnkr12349 күн бұрын
Making the scene book accurate would involve making a couple of toddlers scream and cry, for multiple takes. There are coordinators now on set to make sure actors don't go through anything mentally and or physically traumatizing for the sake of the production.
