#1x04

these episodes continue to be wild lololol

so far it heavily features the theatre thnx to the daughter and wife's involvement in the local theatres.

it's interesting how the structure of the episodes have changed vs the newer episodes. like there's a good 10ish minutes minimum of setting the stage and introducing the supporting cast before a murder even takes place vs the newer episodes where the murders typically happen much closer to the beginning of the episodes. though the newer episodes usually have a higher body count.

I tried to thank the hippopotamus for the taffy...

Post s3 I wondered if arc 2 would take certain Ezran things (his games of hide and seek, for example) and twist them. That certainly wound up being the case (ie. the game of hide and seek for the prison), but another thing I wondered about was Ezran's taffy dreams from 1x04 and 2x03: "and he was right. I was delicious." It's another way where, although having a kind of non-opinion on magic (dark or otherwise) throughout the series, we still see Ezran contribute to it in season one in really interesting, consistent, allegorical ways.
