Acolyte is really ending on a high. It is ultimately a show about the consequences of one event in the past, constantly referenced but never fully explained
Until now.
This weekās episode was 100 percent flashback, focusing entirely on that fateful day.
And it was excellent. I feel like re-watching the first six episodes with this context in my brain
Fair play to Disney for taking a risk on this one. Itās set 100 years before the prequels. Theyāre relying, so far, on all new characters.
But I would not be surprised to be introduced to Darth Plagueis in the finale.
Some time back I mentioned that The Ark was not shit.
S1 had Dr Who 1980s quality sets and acting that was never winning any awards.
But what it did have was a good SciFi base story with some decent human interest and political twists.
I enjoyed it and was surprised when, after a classic Season ending cliff hanger it hot renewed.
S2 is now streaming. Ep1 opens well and if Im honest is a step up from S1. And so far my rating is āim enjoying itā
This is never gonna be The Expanse level but it is good TV.
And a surprising not shit (50%) rotten tomatoes rating.
Kaos next and if I get bored the Termina6Cartoon thibg
The Rings of Power S2 is on Prime.
Ā£1 billion for 5 seasons.
It is epic, it is grand.
And?
Nobody cares
So ehow they missed the fact they needed to play to an audience
