To be honest, I read the book so long ago I don't remember. I agree that the show lost focus during the last few episodes. I enjoyed the magic realism aspect more than the political stuff. At first I wondered about the logistics of getting all the things up the mountain, but a few episodes in I stopped thinking about it.

I loved it! I assume that there will be a second season? It ended at a weird place. I read the book...a hundred years ago LOL. I don't see why they had to tie the poor guy to a tree for years! Doesn't seem like the best way of treating his mental illness. The difference between Macando from the first to second episode was jarring. At that rate of change, I was expecting a warp drive by episode four.

Great finale. Not sure why the uniforms didn’t change with the ships. The rift kind of reminded me of the ring in The Expanse.

Security officer. So where does that leave Shax? Right now his duties seem similar to Worf’s before he took over from Tasha.

Does anyone know what the Tamarian crew member does? Nitpick: if Tendi and T'Lynn are senior science officers, shouldn't they be at the senior officer's briefing? Fair point. Those scenes with Shax were dark! I wish we could see him with T'Ana one more time, it's one of the sweetest and most unexpected pairings in Trek history. I do love the sassy nurse.

No red alert with all the things going on?

Everybody should be disqualified.

I could not spend an entire year wearing the same outfit! They could buy new clothes with T’Lynn’s earnings. I wonder why the red padd isn’t under lock and key. I would think that letting yourself be influenced by something from a parallel universe would violate a bunch of directives. Or security on the Cerritos is very lax.

I can’t remember not wanting a show to end so much.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think it would be psychologically healthy for both CK and Miyage to lose the tournament. (if it even keeps going after what happened to Kwon). The "Win at all costs" BS is more about the Sensies projecting their own ambitions on the much younger Karatekas.

I'm proud of Mariner in this episode. She was compassionate yet firm, showing some real leadership.

Kwon was a live-action anime character.

Freeman : “They (the gods) congregated with mortals.” Ransome: “I’ve been there.”

I may be alone here, but I kind of liked Kwon. His hair was amazing. If the show went on longer, I could see Kwon having a redemption arc and joining Miyagi Do.

I stand corrected. I am shocked, SHOCKED, that the Russians would dope.🙄
