The Acolyte: Day (2024)
Best Episode... which isn't saying much
I wanted to love the show and I really do enjoy parts of it. But for the past few weeks the more I think about "The Acolyte" and the more I watch from it, the more I feel disappointed by the show.
This however is the best the show had to offer so far: I think the concepts about the force and the Jedi, as well as the representation of the time period work the best in this episode. And I will still defend the character dynamics in the show, especially between Sol and the twins.
Still leaves a lot to be desired for the acting and dialogues are still only meh and the direction, although not nearly as bad as before, still feels cheap.
But this episode gives me hope. Hope that maybe the show can be at least a little satisfying.
Ps.: I bet the next episode is gonna be called "Night".
Ahsoka: Part Four: Fallen Jedi (2023)
Finally!!!
Ashoka did it. It finally got from okay to really good. The one thing that tells me is that Filoni clearly has a strength for Pay Off but not so much for Setup. You can see that through out all of his work. But this episode was very much a mid-season finale and it worked. Ray Stevensons character is really interesting as always but this time around others like Sabine can shine to and her acting has greatly improved. Even Ahsoka gets to show some emotions, wow show your title character is finally getting interesting Halde way through.
The slow pace is not so mach felt here, which is good. This is no Andor where the writing is so great, that you can allow yourself dialogue heavy episodes and extended scenes. It's no Andor but it's enjoyable and it's improving, finally!!!
Ninjago: Dragons Rising: The Merge, Part 2 (2023)
That Lloyd scene near the End🔥
I am not going to spoil but if you see it you know what I mean. And overall the episode was pretty good as well, I understand now why they called it "The Merge Part 2" even though the first episode already dealt with that. It's because here we see this event from a different perspective. Also this and Episode 1 are very much one story, so Part 2 also makes sense. But for me this episode holds the edge, the reason for that being the already mentioned Lloyd scene and the characters, who are slowly but surely growing on me.
Overall I can say that now I am in. This new show has me hooked and I am hyped for what will come next.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 19: The Convert (2023)
What is it with these Third Episodes?
Similar to The Last of Us, the Third episode in this Season begins with our protagonists then goes somewhere completely different for the majority of the episode and then goes back to our main characters again. This is definitely a questionable pacing decision and it bothered me while I was watching.
But nevertheless I liked Ep 3 quiet a bit, the lore that was established and the foreshadowing that was made made me very interested in the future. And even though it dragged at some points the sideplot and it's characters were intriguing as well.
This is definitely a big step for Mando and though I am not Sure if I like the direction the new season took, because I always enjoyed the episodic structure and round story's of each Mando episodes but I am interested to see what they do with it.
