Full Series Resistance 1.06 - The Children from Tehar - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I think it’s because while Kaz is a clutz, he’s not mean and his heart seems to be in the right place. Ezra was consistently rude for multiple seasons, for some reason, until he chilled out toward the end. I don’t know. Ezra just seemed to be more of a dick. And whined a lot. Kaz is a nicer guy and less whiny.

And so what if he’s not a great mechanic? He’s just...not a mechanic. Which is why it’s odd to choose that as his cover - the greatest narrative weak spot in the show, IMO. But he’s a quick thinker and tactician (as he’s especially shown over the last two episodes). As a spy, those kinds of smarts are more important and more impressive than him knowing how to turn some screws. So while I’m annoyed that they keep going with the stupid bad mechanic jokes, it doesn’t generate contempt for that character for me, as he’s usually smart when it counts.

 

My DVR recorded Ep. 6 again today, but this time the title is not "The Children From Tehar", but "The Runaways" instead. Odd.

 

Probably an old title for the episode and somebody forgot to update it in their files.

 

6/10
Not bad. Not as good as the last one, but still entertaining. I liked the turtle engineers a lot, and I also for the first time I really liked Neeku's character. It took a while but it feels that the writers are finding the balance with this character and discovering the difference between funny/charming and obnoxious.

I wish they start doing something different with Kaz though, because he is very boringly predictable.

 

Amen.

And to the Kaz/goofiness — it is still on Disney and aimed at kids and something’s gotta give. I watch this show with younger kids and the slapstick gets big laughs. So if it gets too much, I can filter it out and appreciate it for its intent. Hopefully though Kaz ups his game and starts taking his cover seriously.

I read above about someone not trusting Neeku — never thought of him as not trustworthy. That’s an intriguing scenario. Makes ya think.

 

my favourite thing about the last episode was that they mentioned Kylo Ren wrecking stuff and that pretty much guarantees we'll see Kylo Ren wrecking stuff cuz you don't mention Kylo Ren wrecking stuff and then not show it. Interesting that not everybody knows who he is although some probably very much do.

the turtle mechanics seemed a lot like the Sloth DMV folks in Zootopia but it's such a good joke I'll let it slide. I thought Asty showing up was cuz they couldn't afford Oscar Issac aside from the premiere and finale but hopefully that isn't the case.

oh and Christie as Phasma had maybe some of my favourite things she's done as Phasma in Star Wars because how faux-chipper she sounded whens she was talking to the big dude about wanting to find the kids for their own safety.

 

Poe is in the next episode, so this definitely isn't the case.

 

They could also have done all his dialogue in a couple of days for the season.

 

maybe the call back to the Resistance was a late addition that they couldn't get Issac for so they had him ring up Asty instead

 

Maybe he was off on a mission with Black Squadron.

I agree with Kaz, its down right rough for me when it comes to him.

 

Oh best line of the episode from Neeku and possibly in the running for favourite Neeku line of the series: "Well, the odds of finding those children here are akin to winning the Platform Lottery. Twice!"

(of note, Star Wars Show revealed the Neeku actor sent a fan letter to JJ Abrams to see if he could sneak in Neeku in episode IX ala the Rebels Easter eggs in Rogue One. Which is a great idea if you ask me!)

 

the kids are still on the platform. It would be fascinating to finally get some Knights of Ren action with them looking for the kids to tie up loose ends.

 

I'd love if they came Maybe someone finds out that Prye was wrong (someone scummy sees the kids with the Shell folk ) and the KOR are called into find who outsmarted Prye and to deal with the kids

 

Hope so!

 

The series is still hovering in the middle for me, Kaz the spaz is just something I cant get behind. I did enjoy the engine room and the FO hunt, so its slightly better than some other episodes. I just keep wishing for more, but the show is very repetitive thus far.

 

8/10. I liked this one. First episode I can say that for. Hopefully things will pick up a bit now.

 

I have only just got around to watching this episode. For me this is the weakest so far. Way too much unfunny slapstick humour, basically ruined the episode. Firstly the whole plot is based on the ridiculous notion that Kaz broke a ship component by incorrectly helping install it for one second. This just made me facepalm, the plot so obviously punishing Kaz for an unbelievable event. Next was the embarrassing attempt at humour with the weight of the removed broken ship part, "strong female character" Tam holding part one handed at arms length passing it to Kaz who struggles to lift it off the floor. I was tempted to turn off at that point. The First Orders appearance improved the episode rating slightly and I liked Neeku this episode too, but still I would vote a 4 if it wa still open to vote. About that, a week really isnt long enough time. This poll was closed before it first aired here.

 

Am I the only one bothered with Tam throwing tools at Kaz just for clumsiness?

 

Gotta get Kaz out of the workshop to begin the plot of the episode somehow

 

This one is my favorite episode so far. It kept me entertained and often on the edge of my seat. I liked the two kids as characters, there was some good tension with the First Order, and I really enjoyed the Kaz and Neeku team-up.
