This has been my favorite episode of the entire show.
The good: learning about the secrets between Cleon I and Demerzel continues to move in unexpected directions.
The bad: Hober Mallow acts as a Deus Ex Machina at the most convenient of times.
The ugly: keeping track of the mentalics story is a bit much for my normal brain. It's been a long, slow burn with conflicting information given to the viewer at several points.
Agree, great episode. While I'm sure the show would do interesting things with it, I kind of hope the direction with the mentallics isn't for this Tellem to try to move conscious into Gale, but Gale be dominant mind and just making Gale super powerful. Just wouldn't feel earned.
This is literally the first time Gaal has been remotely useful, ~~interesting~~ watchable, or just... remotely functional, the rest of the time she's either crying or just being contrary just because.
Same, this was so damn much fun!
It's like they decided to start writing plot finally!
Loved the end of the episode when Dawn and Dusk discover that Demerzel is the Empire. It was something I was talked with my wife since season 1. I guess that for the end of season 2, Demezer is going to get rid of all the Cloud Dominion staff, Dawn and Dusk and retrieve new ones with forged memories. Funny how this season all three brothers were in love of someone different.
Agree, best episode so far!
