One thing I wish the show had done a bit better is the mystery of the Front Man. By the time we get to the reveal, there's literally no other person he could possibly be that would have any meaning for the audience, so of course that's who it is.

This was a very impressive penultimate episode. Regarding the identity of the Front Man, upon finishing the season, I was told quite a few people deduced it prior to the reveal. Like yourself, I did not put it together until the reveal. It was a continuous thought that I had where I said to myself, “Wait, that’s weird having a closeup on Jun-ho's reaction to th- Oh shit!” I’m with you on that the Front Man shot Jun-ho in the shoulder so that he could have a fighting chance to survive, even if Jun-ho's chances don’t look good. As to Jun-ho's phone, given he was trying to send everything all at once, I highly doubt anything was able to go through. I still don’t understand how his phone had some juice left in the battery, to the point I was yelling, “How in pluperfect hell does his phone still have power?! Is this a magic phone battery?! I mean, did he buy a phone battery from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?!” I quite enjoyed your analysis of the contrast between Gi-hun and Sang-woo. I’m with you on though Sang-woo says that Gi-hun should be grateful for his pragmatic actions, I sincerely doubt they are done out of altruism. You raise the good point on he evaded answering Gi-hun's question of would he have pushed Gi-hun into the glass. So sad what happened to Sae-byeok. The show did such a good job in showing how once she discovered the extent of her wound that she knew her number was up. And how she uses her last moments to convince Gi-hun to not try to murder Sang-woo only for Sang-woo to kill her, it just guts you. I agree in that it’s truly difficult for me to hate Sang-woo. I can certainly be angry with him, I can be angry for what he does, but to say that I hate him would be a stretch. And yeah, the part where Gi-hun has the as you put it, “Catch it and throw it on back” moment with Sang-woo was very satisfying and is I would say my favorite moment of the episode. Once the episode ended, I found I held a similar thought as you in that you could make a case for either Gi-hun or Sang-woo being the more deserving to win. I thought that it would be interesting either way and was curious which direction the show would go. Your question of could there be multiple winners in the end of these games, I suppose it’s possible. Kind of doubt it’s particularly likely, but I don’t think it would be impossible. As to your comments at the end, it really is never a bother when the post-episode thoughts are on the long side. In fact, I relish it when you have longer post-episode thoughts, because I really love it when you deep-dive into characters, plots, etc. and I love hearing your thoughts and opinions. Your other comment about occasionally getting comments from people who you can tell watched a show or film so many times, as you say, your post-episode thoughts are the gut reactions and immediate thoughts and feelings that you have upon completing an episode, so of course it’s quite likely that you may not catch every single tiny little detail. I mean all of us are only human. We’re not going to pick up on everything on a first-time viewing. There’s also the “icebox scenes” as Hitchcock called them. Those scenes and moments that don’t register or occur to you right away and as Hitchcock described it, “hits you after you’ve gone home and start pulling cold chicken out of the icebox.” Thanks for such a great reaction to this episode of Squid Game, Jess.

I, too, wanted to know more about the Front Man, and was glad when I heard an interview with the creator saying that more of the Front Man's story would be in Season 2.
