Yeahhh the flip of her allegiance felt more like they needed a reason to expose Qimir as the Sith lord an I think they could have stuck that landing a bit better
Ok, after this episode I’ve completely changed what I think happened with the exception of the Coven. Starting with the Coven I believe they put their entire future into the children. Knowing the children were leaving that meant their entire culture would die so they committed suicide. They mentioned drinking from the tree on the planet would be deadly and later the sap was used to kill Torbin. More on Torbin later. I used to think Qimir was the Sith but now I don’t. It’s too obvious and I’m remembering the earliest description of the show. So I think Qimir is a competing Acolyte that wants to undermine Mae while serving the will of the Sith. Speaking of the Sith, I think that’s an Apprentice we’ve been seeing and we haven’t seen the Master. I think an Acolyte is one that wants to become the new Apprentice (I stole that part from Star Wars Explained but it makes sense). I noticed Vernestra was very certain Mae was trained by a Jedi which I dismissed at first but now I think I know who the Apprentice is. I think the Apprentice is Torbin and we’re only meant to believe he’s dead. I think Torbin being in isolation makes it easy for him to come and go as he likes and would explain the scar on his face. He likely turned on the Jedi because of what happened with the Coven and was turned by his Master. He’s using Mae to tear down the Jedi. I think Mae was given more reason to believe Osha was dead and that was the one thing she had that kept her angry. She likely knows the Coven committed suicide but had blamed Osha as they did it because she was leaving. Ep 3 was from Osha’s perspective and I think this whole show is about unreliable narrators. I fully admit this could be wrong and this show is not as clever as it wanted to be but I think there’s a lot of red herrings being laid for us to take that as fact
This is a lot and a lot of what you’re saying would be really bad writing. You can’t introduce the solution to a mystery afterwards. That’s just not how it works. The suicide thing,,, this is still Disney and the tone of the show isn’t that at all. Tone matters in writing almost as much as anything else.
And Torbin is dead dead. Why would the room full of Jedi go along with his evil plan? How did Qmir know where Jedi Chewie was? He said no one can get through this forest and then boom Master. People keep saying there’s another person who is the acolyte etc but four episodes in that doesn’t seem to make sense.
@@ForAllNerdsTV I don't understand how it's bad writing, unreliable narrators are a mainstay of mysteries. Why is Torbin necessarily dead? People have fooled people in mysteries before in thinking they were dead. The person that made the poison was Qimir and if he's the other Acolyte, which I see no problem learning next episode as we're halfway through the series now, it means he'd be in on it. The poison which just so happens to come from Mae's planet so she'd believe she killed Torbin. There's still a lot of mystery surrounding that character like how he became powerful so fast and where the scar on his face came from. He would have to have become that powerful in 6 years only to go into seclusion for 10 in which no one disturbs him. As for the suicide, it depends on how they do it and again I think the poison from the tree is how they do it because they even had Mae mentioned that in EP 3 about the tree. We can't possibly know everything just yet and no one I mentioned is a new character which as you pointed out requires the Sith to be someone we've already seen
@@ForAllNerdsTV I don't know where you're getting the idea the Jedi would go along with an evil plan. I never said anything about the Jedi being in on it
The show seems to do more telling than showing. Like Osha told Jecki that part of why she left the Jedi Order is because she couldn't accept the deaths of her sister, Mother, and the coven, and the unfairness of death overall. But they don't show her in the previous episodes having an issue with death. Little things like that are missing.
I've caught up, and I'm on the fence about the show. I wanna maybe wait until the end before giving my final thoughts because the show is set up as a mystery, but I find myself asking what are we supposed to be uncovering overall? Like there are so many layers and it's feeling really tangled. BUT I do wanna follow the writers down the rabbit hole.

There’s a lot of great ideas but the execution is lacking.
Who is the master? Sho Nuff!

Yeah y’all don’t care about this show. Still confusing Mae and Osha four reviews in lol
Gonna keep doing it every episode here on out!

It’s way too much telling and no showing for real.
