Title: Choice
Directed by: Kogonada
This is the penultimate episode of the first season. We finally get the other flashback episode with the title I predicted we’d get, although this episode is more from the Jedi’s perspective instead of Mae’s.
This was a solid episode that explains most things we saw in the third episode. There are still a few things left unanswered and a couple of new questions. Overall a solid performance by everyone. Only one more left.
I know it’s rare for me to post a trailer for something that isn’t for a Star Wars film/series but this is a special case. Gladiator is one of my favorite movies so I was surprised to learn of a second film. I’ll admit it’s not a movie I thought needed a sequel because the other one was so great. However, after watching this trailer I’m feeling different. Check out the Gladiator 2 trailer.
It looks really good. I’m glad that Ridley Scott is back as the director. I also noticed Connie Nielsen is reprising her role as Lucilla and Paul Mescal will play her son, Lucius. The film appears to focus on Lucius several years after the death of Maximus.
It’s also exciting to see Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal are in the film. Hans Zimmer will not be back as the composter but Harry Gregson-Williams is a good choice.
What did you think of the trailer?
Title: Teach/Corrupt
Directed by: Hanelle M. Culpepper
This episode is toned down compared to last week’s episode. It’s pretty standard for the episode that follows the mid-season climax. However, it sets up the season’s final act with only two more left. Leslye Headland already has ideas for a Season Two. Things are taking an interesting turn. Yes, we get to see the lightwhip but it’s very brief. I guess it’s more of a tease. If we get a season two, I hope Vernestra Rwoh survives so that we can see better use of the lightwhip.
Let’s set aside those inane topics that divide us and celebrate our freedom today. I know it’s hard but we should all be able to show respect for those with dissenting opinions. No matter which side of the aisle you stand on.
Also, make sure you’ve picked up some CBD treats for the dogs. Fireworks are always much more entertaining when you’re high.
June has come and gone so it’s time to check in on the progress of my goals for the year. As a reminder, my annual goals encompass three categories: Wellness goals, Reading goals, and technical skills goals. I admit that these posts provide zero informational value to anyone who reads them. It’s merely a means for me to provide accountability for pursuing my goals each year.
If you do read it and have some suggestions or feedback, I encourage you to leave a comment. Keep in mind that if you have not left a comment in the past, I will have to approve it before it appears. This is for security reasons. In the past, I’ve had to remove hundreds of spam posts therefore I changed the configuration so new comments have to be approved.
Title: Night
Directed by: Alex Garcia Lopez
I said there would be an episode titled “Night”, although I don’t think that prediction is profound. Anyone could have guessed that but the title does have an ominous tone and this episode delivered on that.
This episode delivered on many levels and had us all feeling lots of emotions by the end. This is one of those episodes that I dread watching again because I’m not sure I’m ready to see certain things happen again. All in all, it’s another very solid episode from director Alex Garcia Lopez.
