It’s not mandatory viewing with medium action and slow pacing, but the family vibes and performances helped me not to regret watching this.
There’s a worthwhile philosophical discussion here about intervention, but it’s one-sided and the episode is tonally dissonant, resulting in a mixed experience.
I wish the season had a little more time to develop characters, but this is a surprisingly charming and enjoyable ride through a universe of alternate possibilities in the MCU.
Star Wars Rebels (2014): Legacy
It seems like episodes about Ezra’s parents are cursed to be underwhelming as another vision pushes Ezra to seek them as the Empire comes down on the Rebels.
Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop picks his favorite movies to take from the Criterion Collection
Star Trek (1966): Mirror, Mirror
The classic alternate universe episode holds up if you look past the dated production. I think it’s good to have a dark mirror to see who we could be if we give in to our more selfish tendencies.
Loki (2021): For All Time. Always
Loki and Sylvie are tested at the end of time and Loki shows some character growth. I’m not 100% convinced of the big bad’s logic, but there was enough working with this finale that I enjoyed it.
Star Wars Rebels (2014): The Future of the Force
Kanan, Ezra, and Zeb race the inquisitors to find Force-sensitive babies, leading to a modestly thrilling conflict and just a touch of challenge.
