Those are all good changes. 👍
Let’s say the next 3 episodes trimmed down add up to about 1 hour and 15 minutes as well for a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes, won’t that be an issue with 2 whole episodes left? Idk, maybe there will be some filler episodes like there was for The Acolyte, but that was mostly due to them showing the same events from different perspectives. I kind doubt that will be the case here.
