Yeah, the last two episodes definitely have me turned around. I don't feel like I know less than the characters do for tension reasons, which I think was part of my complaint before. I mean, I do wonder why Steven steered the boat but it didn't occur to Mark to do so, but it's not a real complaint. Oh, and Taweret wasn't going to let them through the gates while the scales weren't balanced but as soon as they balanced they were out of the boat anyway so what condition would have let them through the gates? but again, just a nitpick. My unhappiness in earlier episodes was more about feeling manipulated for reasons of tension. Nitpicks are fine! Very interested to see what happens next.

It feels like there is a LOT to wrap up in just one episode.

There's only one more? Hm.
I feel like I almost understand what all was going on on the boat but not really. As it should be, probably.

I think it's inevitable that I'm going to get spoiled for Dr. Strange (not here, because we are Officially The Best, but elseweb), because I have no idea when we can see it. We may go see it while we're on vacation, or we might wait until we're back.
Moon Knight: I was impressed that what seemed like a really complex story with a lot of moving parts was able to be wrapped up in one episode. I fucking LOVE Layla as Tawaret's avatar (as well as Steven gleefully yelling "HIPPOOOOOO!!!" ).
FYI: there *is* a post-credits scene in this episode.

Layla and Tawaret both totally won me over
I don't know if I've seen "elseweb" before but I love it!

I'd like to see Dr. Strange, but to officially go out in public, with people? Not sure.

That is how I ended up not seeing Spiderman yet. Although I could stream it now, so I don't really have an excuse anymore except my fundamental ineptitude.
