  • The experience is smooth, the software is well optimized for the hardware, but if you’re looking for the top specs and are a big mobile gamer, I don’t think you’d be happy.

    For me, I don’t game at all on my phone, so it’s perfect for me. I love the user experience, the helpful AI features, and the photos Pixel’s take. I picked up the 8 Pro and it feels a lot more refined and uncompromising in almost all the ways.
















  • Completely agree. I think Demerzel’s endgame has to be freedom, right? How she’s going to get there is so interesting, since it seems like she can’t do anything about it without violating her programming. She is literally forced to act against herself. She needs an adversary/ally, someone who knows her well enough and can disable her, reprogram her, without her seeing it coming. Perhaps the Dawn-in-Exile can work with Foundation to put a plan in motion.

    I guess the alternative is that the conditions of the world make it so it is no longer possible for her to love and perpetuate the genetic Empire, but where would that leave her? Would she be tasked with restarting it, self-destructing, or finally be free? Cleon I doesn’t seem like the type to let go.


  • Fuck me, I really enjoyed this episode too.

    Day finally getting his comeuppance, his moral failure finally causing a breaking point, and then getting spaced and losing his whole fleet in one fell swoop. What is Empire without spacers or their fleet?

    Bel and Hober sharing that wine that’s been hyped up the whole season, only for it to taste like Beki’s asshole. Loved the ship scenes, especially with Hober and Brother Constant. Funny and sweet while being entirely tragic.

    Oh God, that beautiful, tragic moment between Dusk and Demerzel. Laura Birn and Terrence Mann killed it. Watching her feel such emotion at having to do something she couldn’t bear doing, and Dusk forgiving her. I think he was genuine there even if he did mark her as a betrayer to Dawn, he knew she didn’t have a choice.

    Everyone on Terminus survived in a big space vault?? Can’t wait to hear the explanation behind that one. Poor glawen :(

    I’m glad Sareth and Dawn escaped and I can’t wait to see what they do, hopefully we still get a glimpse of their lives in exile even with the time jump.

    Ignis felt somewhat weak in comparison to the rest of the storylines in this episode. I think I would have preferred the Ignis Hari reveal to be that he was a robot, but I guess this was fine too. Didn’t feel as interesting as the rest of the show. Tellem giving one last fuck you through Josiah felt contrived, I know she was a villain but I didn’t particularly feel her motivation behind it.


  • I thought it was a post-Vader Anakin. His lesson to Ahsoka, in my eyes, was that his life, her life, as soldiers led them to a “fight or die” mentality, though maybe “kill or die” is a better way to put it. That’s what drove him to the dark side. Only by the end of his life, as he learns from Luke, there is another option.

    “You’re never too old to learn” isn’t just in reference to Ahsoka’s age, but in reference to this last lesson he learns from his son, that he now passes onto her.
