Here we are at the final two episodes of this incredibly difficult but beautiful series. "Truth" sat heavy on my heart. This was probably my favorite episode out of the entire series. It was about tainted legacy, identity, and the emotional toll of carrying a symbol that was never made for someone like you.Sam's conversation with Isaiah was so real. Hearing the truth, the real unfiltered truth, of how America treats its heroes was sobering. It was personal. And seeing how Sam handled and sat with it all but still chose to rise was something I won't forget. And Bucky... his quiet journey to healing was powerful in its own way. And the convo him and Sam have is one we all need to hear sometimes. Their growth, maturity and vulnerability was inspiring. I'm glad the series gave Bucky's grief so much space and showed the path towards healing so beautifully. See you all in the final episode. I don't think I'm ready, but i NEED to see our new Captain America's suit!! 💙Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/si9EwfXVoNQI watched this on Disney Plus

I am really enjoying your thoughtful reactions. Just to clear up a couple things. During your reaction you said something like "all those people that were experimented on so that Steve could get the serum", but just to clear up the timeline Dr Erskin created the serum during WWII, presumably there were some German test subjects, but we don't know about any other than Red Skull who took it himself. Then Steve got the serum, but he crashed into the ice in 1943 and was frozen for 70 years. It was in the years while Steve was frozen that the US tried to recreate the serum and experimented on subjects like Isiah. Bucky said that Steve didn't know anything about those earlier attempts. Also just a side note, its great that you remembered Batroc from the ship in CA:Winter Soldier, but he is mad at Sam because of the mission that Sam stopped in episode 1 with the fight in the sky with the other flying squirrel men.

This is my favourite episode of the series too! Great shots to open with, intense fight scene at the start, a lot of fun with the boat fixing montage and Sam's training, and the great conversations talking about legacy and change and what it could mean for the future.

AH! Thank you so so much for clearing that up. I was definitely under the impression that Steve's serum was stable because of Isaiah and the experiments. I really appreciate you clearing that up!

Yes, same! This episode was definitely my favorite as well! It had a perfect mix of all the emotions. Plus seeing Sam and Bucky finally come into their own was awesome and such a great 'deep breath moment' finally after watching them struggle this series!

I love this episode for the fact that it let all the tension from the previous one out in the first few minutes. And then used the rest of the time to give us a chance to catch our breath and reflect in all the quiet moments and deep conversations. And tie together so many of the running themes throughout the series. On to the next one!

Fantastic, Kali, both the episode and your reaction! I'm enjoying this series even more than the first time I watched it. I think my favorite part of your reaction was at 49:56, where you repeated your famous "Let's go!" line (twice!), but this time through tears of joy! Thank you, my friend! 🥲

The US Government may have discarded John like a spent weapon, but they also weren’t like “Hey guess what: we don’t have super serum, but as soon as you find some you take it.” And Lemar’s sister wasn’t fooled. I didn’t notice it true first time, but when I rewatched it in Spanish with my family (who were watching it for the first time), my own sister picked up on that. It makes sense. Maybe they don’t have social media, but she undoubtedly has more access to current events and the footage itself doesn’t lie. @17:24 Congratulations. You’re one of the few who reacted to phase four correctly. We were supposed to meet Valentina in Black Widow 2020, but then the pandemic happened and we ended up meeting her in this series instead. Our reactions were all “who are you?” when we were supposed to be all “hey, I know you.”
