Vernestra Rwoh's lightwhip in The Acolyte Episode 6

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.

In Intentions, New Year

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.

The Acolyte Episode 4 - Bazil

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.
