I did not expect the show to kill off most of its supporting cast here, I expected either Yorde or Jecki to die but not both of them. It really ups the stakes and finally delivers on the darker tone that the series is clearly going for. Whether or not the series can keep up its momentum in the final 3 episodes remains to be seen, but I have a lot more confidence that it’ll end up sticking the landing in the end. If I had an issue with the episode it would be that I don’t think Yorde was developed enough as a character for me to care about his death, and that the reveal of Qimir being the Sith was too obvious. Still I think the reveal was very well done and the acting is really great here as well. Lee Jung-jae and Manny Jacinto are really killing it with their performance, but I think Amandla Stenberg is more mixed there are some scenes that she nails but others, like the ending confrontation between the twins are a bit stilted. I also don’t think the ending where Mae switches places with Osha to be too believable so hopefully they won’t drag out Sol and Qimir realizing it too long.
