Can we talk about the sound design in this season?

Because it's really, really god drat good.

I interpreted the wolf as a metaphor for Jack's mental state throughout the episode. The fact that the two paths at the beginning of the episode were nearly identical suggested to me that the wolf and forest weren't meant to be literal. The wolf also gets mangled, gets up, and fights back right before we see Jack struggling with suicidal thoughts and ultimately pushing them back, so it seems like it was more than just a one-to-one literal mirror of Jack's fight.

Ashi's definitely gonna be one to watch in these coming episodes; I'm getting some serious Mad Max: Fury Road vibes from the way the show highlighted her in the premiere.

The craftsmanship on display is goddamn masterful.

Genndy's definitely at the top of his game here. There hasn't been a single wasted frame in these episodes; everything feels deliberate, and Genndy has a kind of control of and confidence in his frame composition that's completing flooring me.

maybe the real mental scars were the throats we slit along the way
