I think that this episode has destroyed the show for me. What Quentin did was suicide. He has shown zero regard for his well-being and has been spiraling all season. To quote Wikipedia “Altruistic suicide is sacrifice of one's life to save or benefit others, for the good of the group, or to preserve the traditions and honor of a society. It is always intentional.” The writers are trying to now claim that it was a heroic sacrifice and not suicide. But John McNamera said in an interview that he wanted Q’s death to be ambiguously suicide. And an eagle eyed viewer has pointed out that during the bonfire scene the King of Heart, also know as the Suicide King, is designed to look like Quentin. I don’t think I can rewatch the show knowing that the depressed bi super nerd, who tried so hard and cared so much, kills himself. It’s too depressing. I can’t even get started on Hale. His interviews from 4x05 are heartbreaking now.

Holdo gave no indication that there was a plan at all besides passively drifting until they run out of gas and die. Poe and his fellow mutineers did the right thing with the information they had to save lives. His judgement call to take out the dreadnaught also proved correct when they were followed into hyperspace. If that ship wasn’t destroyed the Resistance would have all died much sooner.

Unfortunately it definitely is the Asgardian ship. The gladiator with the full head helmet who was on ship is one of the bodies.
