Comment on How IMDB Users Rate Season 4 of SNW
usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoFunny, I thought the first episode was pretty terrible. Pike’s decision to go along with a planetary genocide on a hunch was indefensible to say the least. And there wasn’t even very much dinosaur action to offset that with stupid fun.
The rest of the season I’ve really enjoyed. A big step up in quality from season 3, though still not hitting the highs that season 2 reached.

And I think that’s the most compelling part!
TBH, one could argue that this season has been pretty successful, if the number of discussion points is anything to go by.

I’d feel better about ep1 if it was presented as a difficult or haunting choice. It’s the hunch aspect that really bothers me.
But on reflection, there were still some very good ideas in there. The small bit with the translation of “alone” was possibly the cleverest thing that’s happened this season, and hard to actually pull off in dialogue as well as they did.
