I want to begin Super Hero month recap with the following quote (as seen during the credits for Into the Spider-Verse):
Title: Day
Directed by: Alex Garcia Lopez
I know I’m late, again, posting my thoughts on the latest episode but sometimes life gets a little busy. Obviously, this episode is not Mae’s perspective of the events on Brendok. We see a change in Mae’s character so I still think that episode is coming. I expect that we will have an episode, or episodes, titled “Night” and/or “Choice” which will focus on Mae.
A couple of cameos, or Easter Eggs, have caused quite the brouhaha that I will help clarify. Despite that, this was a solid episode, probably the best so far. It does end with quite the cliffhanger.
Title: Destiny
Directed by: Kogonada

This was an interesting episode. I enjoyed it for its informational quality but it doesn’t progress the storyline. We are finally taken back into the past to Brendok to see what happened to set Mae and Osha on to their respective paths. We experience these events mostly from Osha’s perspective.
The first two episodes use this duality naming convention but this episode does not. This makes me think the next episode will be from Mae’s perspective. I think this will also show how Mae feels betrayed by the Jedi. We will see what dark choices the Jedi made.
I recently talked about running my first half-marathon at the Flying Pig. I had fun doing it and I’ll think about if I want to do it again however it marks the end of an era. The half-marathon was my FitBit’s swan song. I am officially retiring my FitBit and it feels really weird; I have “phantom device” syndrome.
A few years ago I bought an Apple Watch but I kept using my FitBit because it had so much of my walking/running data that I didn’t want to give it up. Essentially I had two fitness devices and it was time for one to go.
I am way behind the curve regarding the new show, I have been traveling so much it hasn’t left me much time for extra tasks. The latest Star Wars series, The Acolyte, premiered last week with the first two episodes. It’s going to be interesting for me to watch this series; I do not know that much about this era of Star Wars. I own the books, I just haven’t started reading them, yet. So let’s get into my initial impressions of The Acolyte.
I’ll start out by saying that I am really enjoying the series, so far. I will break this down into various discussion points. A quick warning, before I continue, this post will contain spoilers, so if you’re waiting until the series has been fully released then don’t keep reading but do come back.
