I thought the way it showed the temptation to shoot prisoners out of hand, built tension around it and had the protagonists decide against it was really well done, all without dialogue, let alone the kind of sermonizing (“If we do that, what makes us better than them?!”) you would expect.

Then bringing it back to Luthen doing all the le Carre poo poo to eventually shape that incoherent anger into an actual organization that can strike back for real.

Luthen being a callous rear end in a top hat but the kind of rear end in a top hat the rebellion needs is also a great bit, you don't overthrow empires by being nice.

Yeah I really like where they're going with Luthen, and it'll be interesting to see how they develop Mon Mothma- it's interesting how they do all this background work of establishing how lovely her family and Chandrilian society are and then drop the big moral sacrifice for her along those lines.

hot drat both Serkis and Skarsgard had some great performances this week, and Genevieve O'Reilly seems to be priming for some big stuff about betrothals I can see why some people would prefer the heist episode, but this one really hit right

people told me Raised by Wolves was good but it was just aping Lost's ~mystery~ vibe except clearly going to burn out way faster Ridley scott is a good director but he couldn't save that idea. I learned when people say some TV is good they mean "good if you want to spend time watching tv" which I don't as a matter of course. It has to be atually good, a positive use of my time generally, like Twin Peaks, rather than a tolerable waste of my time
