I would love to hear your updated thoughts on the series! Even if it's just a post instead of a video

Hey, sorry for the late response, but I finished the show and felt mostly indifferent about it. I appreciate what they were trying to do, but the whole thing just fell flat to me. I'd have to watch it again for a full autopsy, but from the top of my head; I remember the pacing being really strange, lingering too long in some places, while skipping too fast over others. That 4th episode where they journey to the Wookie jedi for example felt like it could have been cut entirely without missing too much, which was a lot of time that could have been spent fleshing out, let's say, that witches' cove that the twins came from (I still don't really know what they are, what they do...etc). Mae also felt like she was entirely wasted towards the end as it clearly became Osha's story, which I guess could have been fine if it wasn't for that 'one body two souls' thing, which gave their togetherness a certain importance that didn't really go anywhere. There was more stuff like this, but doubt I'll be looking into it again.

I keep forgetting that I'm a Patreon subscriber here, Tom. I'm going to mindfully go back through your subscriber-only content here and devour it. Your work has positively effected my life. So much so that I've gleefully sent your YouTube videos to people I love so often that they're sick of it 😅. I don't share you far and wide though. Christ said "to him that has eyes, let him see; and to him that has ears, let him hear..." I send your work to the ones I know who have 'eyes...and...ears..." Your work is like a private gospel or deeply personal poetry to me. It's secret to me, save for with a certain few. You're a teacher I can hear. Ugh 😩. I'm not sure I'm making sense here. You are dear to me, Tom. I take in your work like an apprentice does the work of his journeyman. I share your work like secret good news. I'm rambling. Please carry on. You are so deeply important in my house.
