I think I’ve fixed up S01E02. Essentially, I was using the wrong parts of each episode. Now, I think they flow together nicely and feel like a cohesive story, sharing themes and arks.
I’ve reinstated Zeb and Ezra going through the Lothal market so we can see the tension between the two as well as be told about it in the intro text. I’ve reordered some scenes so we hear about Sabines mistrust plot within the first five minutes so it’s not forgotten by the time we get to it halfway through the episode like it was before. It’s placement now mirrors Zeb and Ezra’s ark, showing the mistrust both groups have for each other. I’ve cut the Phantom chase scene that opens Into Darkness and reinstated Zeb and Ezra working together to fix the phantom (but failing due to Chopper). This addition works nicely to blend the two episodes together as it forms the conclusion for Zeb and Ezra’s fighting. Now they’re working together… albeit against Chopper and still failing but it works!
I look forward to feedback on it once I get it released for everyone! 😄
