selenicseasI took my time with these episodes – one per day. I thought it would better allow me to process things, and it did. However, that didn't exactly translate to thoughts that I can easily write down, so this post is going to be much shorter than the previous one.
Now, these three episodes are what I wanted from the show! No elongated introduction – we’re in the thick of things. Syril is an agent for the ISB who pretends to be sympathetic to the Ghorman Front. Kleya and Luthen attend a party in order to remove a listening device, which is probably the tensest scene in episode 6. Wilmon is now working with Saw Gerrera. For how few scenes he had in these episodes, I do have to say that Forest Whittaker absolutely stole the show every single time he appeared.
The Ghorman language really tripped me up. It sounds French, but there are zero identifiable French words. Evidently it's an actual conlang, not just a cipher. I don't think the showrunners could have made it any more obvious that the Ghorman Front is analogous to the French resistance.
It looks like there's going to be at least one major death at the end of every arc – first Brasso, and now Cinta. Honestly, I am expecting everyone who isn't Cassian, Mon Mothma, and Saw to be dead by the end of the season.
