which out of the four stories did you enjoy the most which one didn't work for you all
and then of course let me know your thoughts your theories and your predictions like harry
for the final three episodes of season one and foundation in the comments below so just quickly
just my initial thoughts on the seventh episode it did feel a little bloated for me and i'll get into
my reasons why in this review here but seeing the harry and the gal stuff that to me kind of
felt kind of forced an episode it was some good information nonetheless but i just felt like it
was forced in the episode and it really felt misplaced but i'm not going to lie the stuff
that we're getting with the terminus people salvar and pharah that's really intriguing to me so far i
know some people aren't the biggest fans of that plot but that's where i find the most action from
the particular plot and i find it very intriguing just seeing the journey of her affairs people but
also as i say every single week whenever we spend time with lee pace and him on this faith walk that
he's going to take in the next week is really intriguing to me and him going back and forth
with halima is just very intriguing so there's a lot of good stuff some stuff i'm really not the
biggest fan of which we'll talk about brother dusk and his love interests romeo and juliet story but
nonetheless i did enjoy this episode more than i disliked it but we're gonna break it all down but
again let me know your thoughts in the comments so let's start off this recap with the opening
which in the first time in a very long time from not mistaken we pick up immediately after the
events of last week as we see salvar she is like in awe of the inner belt and this is where they
are coming across this ghost ship the invictus which is one of the most powerful weapon platforms
the empire has ever built which we learned has been in disappearance for over 700 years
after previous failed attempts to board this ship things are a little bit different for
fair this time because she has a commander who is the commander of the imperial ship so she's
thinking that things will work out in her favor as they are making their board to this ghost ship
we'll see if this comes to fruition but we get this death of hugo this is i guess the second time
that we thought at least you know i thought that hugo died a couple weeks ago when they had that
fight but uh i assume he's dead this time around or is he as he is his thrusters aren't working
he's just kind of floating in space i think hugo is going to come back he's going to probably save
salvar next week or in the finale i don't think he's dead but if he is dead let's just play it
as the show's trying to present that he's dead i think if hugo is dead it is yet again another
example to me of a death that feels rushed that feels like it's not you know executed properly
thinking that he's dead thinking he's not dead i don't really have the emotional connection to
the character as it is like when salvar's dad died last week i'm a fan of the actor no less and i'm
sad that he's not going to be with us because i'm a big fan of him but i didn't feel the weight so
if hugo is dead i personally do not care because i don't think the relationship has been built enough
for me to have personal connections but i don't think hugo's dead let me know in the comments
of course probably the book readers can say yeah hugo is going to come back or no he is dead but
who knows it seems like a lot of the book readers are saying that the show has taken a
very different route than the books have but again let me know your thoughts if you're a book reader
or not a book reader is hugo coming back because i think he is but nonetheless going back to catching
up with one and i think the most interesting plot of this episode on the sarah system as brother day
isn't happy with adira mazzell kneeling last week and consider it a part of betrayal uh on her at
parts and goes against her programming which she points out well if it's against my programming sir
i wouldn't be physically able to kneel so i i love dear mizel as she is taking some taking
her position and coming back at the emperor which emperor he gets some uh some talking back to a lot
in this episode but it's in that conversation and a lot of you all have pointed out in the comment
section that is very interesting i think this is just another example of foreshadowing in regards
to we've all have seen that brother dawn has been very different than his previous brothers
and a lot of you all have pointed out maybe duramazel had something to do with his geneticism
that she might have tweaked some things might have made some things differently and we'll talk about
lima and how she wants this program to end maybe they've been in cahoots for a very long time so
i think that you all are definitely on the money there that there's definitely something going on
with the system with brother dawn with duramazel and haleema maybe all being in cahoots with each
other something to look forward to but going back we see the continued shock
and the surprise but brother day as he learns that duramazel is taking the walk of spiral which is a
and she's done in the past and we know in this episode this is a tradition of the luminous faith
so right now brother day is like i don't know who you are right now but there's a lot of skeletons
in your closet that i want to learn about but going back to one of the more intriguing dynamics
between two characters halima gets her chance to ask or to say what she wants and she simply
tells brother day i want the end of the genetic dynasty as she shares her personal opinion about
the cleons she has no filter she has no fear as she is literally talking to him in this tone in
regards to brother day this is what i want and make it happen so again i'm very surprised by her
just her bluntness of it all and she has no fear towards brother day and it's the same brother that
took out a whole planet a whole civilization of people so uh she has some components to say
the least so again i'm just really loving all the stuff that we're getting with these two characters
as we kind of wrap up that particular plot halima threats are exactly what harry predicted one of
the major religions will strike as they want to take action and this is where brother day
wants to appeal to the three goddesses and he wants to take that same walk which is part of
their tradition so that's gonna be a very interesting episode i assume that's gonna be
next week's episode but he has something to prove and he wants to prove it to halima and we'll see
what shakes out in that in that particular plot but out of those four plots in this episode
that was the most intriguing again i can't believe how she's coming at the emperor and of course the
stuff that we learned about dermiselle it's just a lot going on and i really enjoying that
plot but going back to the inner belt we see that farah mentions that the defense systems are still
active on the ship and they very much are so as we see the commander is able to get past the cannons
and he's able to get into the ship but only to his surprise be shot in the face by farah again she is
very cold and she's very heartless and we know she's on a mission we learn that more about
this ghost ship and that the courtney seems to be very sporadic and they seem to just jump uh
from one destination to the next and it's just a matter of time before it jumps again so they have
to take control the ship before it goes to the destinations they have no idea where it's headed
next we'll check back into them in a second but let's check in with our lovebirds romeo and juliet
as they take their relationship to the next level as they have sex in this episode and it's in this
moment i don't know what it is about the gardener but i feel like this is part of some type of setup
i don't know if this was a ploy by one of brother dusk i don't know if this was a ploy
by the shadow master or someone that we haven't met quite yet but it does feel like she is it
seems too easy again this is young love he's a young man she's a young girl of course we've seen
this before and a lot of stories i mentioned romeo and juliet but it just seems too on the nose for
me i do think that she is and this might be one situation where initially she wanted to do this
spy traitor type of situation infiltrate the the empire and maybe she fell in love with him but i
do think this is part of some greater plan uh just because like i said it just seems too on the nose
a little bit too too easy of a love and just too fast for being honest in regards to relationship
but neither here nor there as far as my thoughts and theories go with that we see that he gives her
more information about his imperfections he even goes as far to show her the first original cleon
she shows him the replacements of the current uh emperors and their current brothers in place
and we learned that if well again not being a book reader i learned that if something
doesn't go right on these brothers they're easily replaceable and this is where again i'm not the
biggest fan of like this love story and kind of if i'm being honest it's really the performances
i think that brother dawn is not the best in his performances again his his the way they portray
him he's meant to be kind of subtle scared timid kind of younger kid trying to learn and obviously
follow the footstep of his older brothers but i just don't think that that actor has really
given me all of that quite yet but even putting that aside i do find it interesting for that
character to just always be on eggshells he knows that if they know about his imperfections
they know about all the stuff that he's not doing the same things that his brothers have done from
generations and generations before him he can die in a heartbeat so i kind of really am intrigued by
that fascination of him just being on the edge of death whenever something can go wrong and and just
seeing that was very interesting but going back to just kind of a solution that she brings up i can
help you out i can change your appearance i can get the tracker out of you and they even have a
moment for him to have his own life and they have this moment where he's able to look into outside
the palace and see the outside world so that stuff is intriguing i just wish that the performances
were just a little bit more engaging for my personal taste but i do like where the plot's
headed again let me know if you guys feel the same thing about that gardener that she is either
a spy on a mission that is falling in love or this is all part of the mission or
there's no mission on this is just genuine love let me know your thoughts in the comments but
let's go back to our ghost ship as we kind of wrap up this particular plot salvar attempts to fight
back only to lose one of her own and we see that pharah is just even more gun hole on the suicide
mission to destroy the empire so we're gonna see what happens with this ghost ship because
if she gets full control of this planet killer the empire will crumble so let me know what you
all thought of that plot but as we wrap up and again i feel that this plot kind of came out left
field i did not expect this to come in the middle of the episode and kind of wrap up the episode
and this is stuff that we get with gail and harry as like i said i just felt like it felt
kind of misplaced but let me know how you all felt about it but again it was some good stuff as we
see them talking she's talking to his subconscious or talking to his conscience that he was able to
kind of digitize but there's obviously some issues going on here as he's continuously living the loop
of when he died she's able to temporarily talk to him in this loop and this is where that harry
learns about more in particular about the plans and how it fell through and how the plan with
his son didn't work out how gail was supposed to be on terminus to create the foundation but
obviously things did not plan out and play out the way that it was supposed to be we see that the
the conscious is able to go into the ship system and we get like this new version of harry so he
is dead he's officially dead but we're now going to be following harry in his consciousness on this
ship and i'm pretty sure with technology she'll be able to take his consciousness and implement it
on like a system and take him around wherever she needs to go so he's physically not there but he's
emotionally you know spiritually mentally there which we all know that's the best part of harry
right it's his mental it's his intellect so that's gonna be really interesting to follow
this character for the rest of the season but we get in this conversation that he learned
that he was ill that's one of the reasons why he wanted to take out his you know to kill
himself and have this mission go into place and essentially he was performing this whole thing
about him creating terminus and being part of the foundation was all a lie at least the way that
gail sees it in the creation of the foundation but kind of wrapping up the episode we see that
she learns about rish's part into all this and how he knew about the plans and how he really didn't
want them to fall through because he really loved gail he wanted to be with her so we know that's
how things kind of unfortunately played out we end the episode with harry questioning her in regards
to her breaking her routine and this is a pretty big moment here this is when we learn about her
special abilities her special gift which we saw in the first two episodes and she initially says and
ends the episode with her saying she can feel the future which to me is almost very similar to
what's going on with salvar so are they related are they somehow connected only time will tell
but they seem to have the exact same power set to be able to see or to feel the future we see
that silvar can literally see into the past but it seems like she can also see into the future
to a certain extent so maybe she can just do into the past while we see that gail can see into the
future so again what's the correlation between those two i can't wait to find out but again like
i said as far as my criticisms go the performance with the young man that plays brother day or
brother don i'm sorry isn't completely working for me but i'm really kind of fascinated by
his being on the edge of death and knowing that he has fear that if he makes mistakes he can easily
be replaced i like all that stuff and just knowing if that girl is aspired now it's very intriguing
but again i say the positives really lie with lee pace the you know the faith that those people have
during missile and her past was very intriguing the stuff with terminus and salvar versus fair
that stuff is really kind of keeping me intrigued in this season so far but overall i did enjoy
this episode even with my criticisms but more importantly i want to know your positives your
