Holy shit, that was Claudia Black as the Dathomir Great Mother on Ahsoka.
I was wondering about that!
Nice.
I'm kind of annoyed that we're only 2 episodes from the end and it's looking like this whole series is just about setting up something that's going to come later.
I love Reservation Dogs, so I took a chance to see Dark Wind. I really enjoyed Hillerman's books for a while, until i started wonder if it was cultural appropriation.
Anyway, it's weird see some of the same actors from the low key comedy being very serious characters.
I sure loved that show when it was airing and haven't seen it since. Kind of afraid to rewatch at this point.
Wheel of Time 2.6:
Madeline Madden impressed the hell out of me in this episode. Just an incredible physical and emotional performance. I've seen a lot of comparisons to the classic TNG episode "Chain of Command" which fits with my memory of said episode, though I would need to rewatch it to compare.
Ahsoka 108:
That was kind of underwhelming.
I am very disappointed Chopper didn't smack Ezra in the knee or something. Being friendly is out of character for him.
Also, Ezra is apparently studying at the Anakin Skywalker School of Being Needlessly Dramatic. You seriously couldn't ditch at least the helmet before exiting the Imperial shuttle ?
Kalshane, concur on all counts. I mean, didn't Chopper try to kill Ezra repeatedly in S1 of Rebels?
Chopper is a murder droid, and not in the endearing way that Murderbot is.
Overall, that felt a lot more like a Rebels finale than a live-action finale. All the emotional beats were underplayed and not in a cool Andor-like way.
I'm also a bit cranky that the explanation for Sabine's training is that she really is Force-sensitive, just blocked. Because it wasn't her Force-ness that was blocked in Rebels, just her emotions/ability to connect with the Darksaber. I do not like this retcon.
I kind of like the idea that anyone can be a Jedi and it doesn't depend on a biological ability to connect with the Force. You can be a Jedi by training and living like a Jedi.
Anyway, it was ok. I may need to rewatch Andor now.
