Mini Series The Acolyte 1.07 - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

Lol. Recipe or receipt — sounds absolutely scandalous.

I’ll be missing the episode as I have no power. Woe is me…

 

Just finished the episode. Sol's character arc was finally complete when he said "We finally beat Medicare." What a long time coming that was for him and the Jedi.

 

I'm gonna take a guess and say this will be a flashback episode!

 

Its on.

 

Now they have to fight Obamacare

 

Master Bi'Den v Darth Don Ald Ti

 

Good episode. Night.

 

The did it. omfg they did it. They went for the Shyamalan twist.

 

Well there you are.

Pretty straightforward. But wow. Loved the Witch Possession cloud trick. Whatever that thing was it was cool. Sol didn't start the fire - as I theorized - but killed Mama and chose Osha over Mae because he couldn't save both of them.

I really wonder where this will lead. Sol basically did everything because he loved Osha and Mae. Nothing too sinister really. Just a big freaking mess up. I loved that the Jedi figured out that the girls were indeed created using the dark side. Seems that was really important after all. (No kidding!).

The duel between Kelbacca and Torbin and Sol was great too. Loved it.

 

Excellent flashback, everyone is guilty of course, but I always knew it was Torbin's fault.

These witches may not be Nightsisters, but sure looked Nightsister adjacent. The bows and that cool cloud power, reminded me of the when Grevious wiped them out.

 

Damn. That hurt. Sol… Qui-Gon would never.

 

yes...yes we did.

 

Also… lol a little lightsaber stabbing ain’t gonna kill Darth Mother Aniseya.

 

I feel like Torbin is as tormented for running off to get the twins so that he could go home, as he is for 'kneeling' during the mind possession thing. That broke him. He failed. He knew he failed. And couldn't live with himself as a Jedi.

Mae already knew that Sol killed Mama. And she believed that Osha was dead. I wonder if she'll change her mind about Sol, because he was basically trying to save them, or at least did everything because he cared about them and thought they were in danger. That killing Mama was basically an accident. The whole thing was a major blunder.

EDIT: i have to go back and check. Mama died. The entire black-eyed Covin died. Did we ever see Korill die? I don't remember now. Once she's out of Kelbacca ... where did she go. I have to replay it now lol.

 

I wouldn't necessarily say the Dark Side...but at least the Vergence. Which could be seen and just as bad as they are fooling around with creating life.

All of it because they did not sit down and talk. But when you got Force users doing Force user stuff it can look like a threat...and possessing Torbin earlier does not help the witches in the trust department.

As for Koril...I think she dusted herself and may still be out there. Maybe she is Qimir's master?

 

Will we finally get an episode longer than 30 minutes? Please!

 

I wonder if the Jedi are looking for the Chosen One. Like the real Chosen One. They get sent on missions to find a real natural vergence in the Force. Instead, they find this artificially created one, possibly using the planet's natural vergence state.

 

Or creating Mae and Osha caused the planet to start growing plant life? Which came first...the Vergence or the girls??

And while denied the Kelnacca fight earlier...they came through this episode.

 

So...the catalyst was that...Torbin was bored and homesick? Hahahaha! Oh and the reactor blew up for...reasons! I guess they needed the reactor to blow up in order to get Mae and Osha on a collapsing bridge. Other than that there was no reason to include the reactor stuff.

I totally called the witches being collectively taken out because they were linked and that it was done out of self defense and not because the Jedi went on a killing spree. Even Sol killing Momma Witch was basically an accident.

Mae accidently setting the VERY flammable stone on fire was very silly.

Oh boy, there was a lot of bad dialog and acting this episode. This really didn't work for me. The only thing that I found a bit interesting was that because Sol didn't have the strength to save both kids he made a decision to try and only save one. Speaking of Sol, I just did not buy how insanely quickly he became attached to Osha. Just felt vert abrupt. He's instantly emotionally attached to her like parent to a daughter. That felt and odd and not all earned. Pretty ho-hum episode. Definitely not good enough to basically hang a whole season of TV on.
