Pretty good finale, although I guess they are banking/hoping to continue this series, since there are still a lot of questions to be answered. A little worried since the lack of buzz might mean it doesn't have huge viewership, but hopefully there is enough to at least give it another season to wrap up. If we do come back, I certainly hope we delve more into Jod's past and how he became who he was. Basically confirms he was trained by some kind of Jedi, but it sounded like it was kind of off the books more or less, and she/the Master did die in from of him after Order 66. Either way, he was an interesting antagonist here. So menacing and could certainly say and do horrible things, but there was always a sense he was holding himself back from crossing certain lines. Hell, he even seemed legitimately upset over the fake-out death with KB. Certainly helps that Jude Law gave it more than 100% here. Couldn't tell if any of the X-Wing pilots were cameos since that is usually what the Disney+ Star Wars series have done in the past. Glad they worked back Kh'ymm into things. SM 33 continues to be clutch: even if he's currently carrying his severed droid head around! At Attin sacrificing its shield at the end is certainly an interesting wrinkle. Along with the reveal that The Supervisor was an automation droid the entire time and is now taken out of commission. The planet is in for some interesting times! Hope this series comes back. Law and the younger cast playing the kids all did great jobs, and it was a fun little adventure.

Jod really isn't helping his image: ranging from executing his former boss in cold blood (to be fair, he isn't really a good guy at all either), to threatening to harm the kids' parents if they fall out of line, all the way to cackling like a madman once he sees (and feels) all of that gold. That said, the fact that he still seems to go out of his way to not harm the kids themselves despite his posturing makes me still wonder if a part of him is preventing him from being a complete monster. Still think he's mainly bad, but more in a self-serving pirate way and not actual Dark Side of the Force way. Definitely recognized Stephen Fry's voice as The Supervisor on the intercom. I wonder if we'll actually see him or; as others have suggested; he's been gone/dead for a long time and it's been automation running the show. Would explain a lot about this planet, frankly. Hopefully SM 33 is not down for the count. He's a droid: losing a head can be fixed! Curious to see how the finale plays out!

Doing drama first, I see. The Brutalist is certainly emerging as a contender, but damn! Over three and a half hours! Going to have to prep if/when I watch it. And I guess I need to que up Emilia Perez on my Netflix soon.

Telecast was probably always destined to go over, but Adrian Brody made extra sure we got there!

Stacked category but I suspect Adrian Brody is going to be a frontrunner for this category. Won't count out Chalmet though and I can see Ralph Fiennes being a dark horse.

Wasn't sure how this one was going to play out but I imagine it's a pretty big boost for Fernanda Torres.

I can safely say I did not know Colman Domingo use to be in the circus. Thanks, Golden Globe information drop! Anna Sawai gets another well-deserved trophy. I can honestly see her becoming a huge star after this role.

Hacks win comedy, so between this and the Emmys, maybe voters have all agreed that The Bear being this category is inaccurate (well, that and Hacks itself is just a great show in general.) Well, now that speech just wants me to hang out and do shots with Jean Smart and Kate Winslet! Sounds like a party!!

"Hey, Dwayne!" Heh, at least Vin is self-aware enough to acknowledge the love/hate feud between him and Dwayne. Years from now, I hope Ryan Murphy or someone does a miniseries on that drama! At least Wicked won't go home empty handed? Still cool that the guy who started out doing Step Up films is now overseeing some bigger and better projects now.

Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum on a quest to destroy all current lingo!

Was hoping The Wild Robot would pull it out for Score, but you can't bet against Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, I guess!

The Brutalist gets on the board!

Harrison "Quit dicking around, Mackie, I want to get back to the bar!" Ford right there. Flow wins Best Animated Feature. Interesting.

Haven't heard of the film Sebastian Stan won for. Hope it's available soon.

Hehe... announcer guy had to say Nightbitch. Demi Moore gets it! Lets see how this helps her Oscar chances.
