That meant a bit of confusion as to whether we were watching Octavia’s first or second rendition to Bardo, since Diyoza was presumably in custody both times. The text went with the timetable for Sanctum, and we don’t know how Bardo’s time dilation works yet.
While this episode literally wrote the days on the screen, that isn’t always enough, and wasn’t here. This show has been playing with time a lot, which always risks losing some of your audience that has more trouble with nonlinear storytelling, and the necessity of having to spend more time with chronological signposts. Will Diyoza recognize her daughter when they’re reunited? Will She want to? It was good to hear the script acknowledge through Gabriel that leaving Orlando was a bigger risk than taking him, even if other characters disagree. It helped that this episode finally showed us some of the creepy groupthink, but we’ll need a bit more of that – and a better look at their society overall – to understand the foe we’re up against, other than the logistical realities of space and time that’ve dominated the season so far.Ĭhecking back in on our heist squad, now that she’s broken the seal, Hope seems a little too comfortable with murder, at least to Gabriel. So far, other than Anders, the named Disciples we’ve met have all been good people, willing to step out of line or outright betray their people. After all, that’s how we’ve felt watching her, too. The way he rooted for Octavia to kill Pike, his admiration for her, and understanding of her pure warrior’s heart made it easy to connect with him quickly. Leavitt is a great new character, and I hope we see more of him in future episodes. And the original Bardoans are gone – or did they maybe come on an Eligius ship? See what I mean?! We learned there was no Eligius ship the Disciples came from Earth through a stone. But there also just might be too much mythology in this mythology, even for me. I can’t imagine we would have guessed that helmets are only necessary for travel when going to a planet with slower time dilation – sometimes exposition is just where it’s at. This episode provided some much-needed answers about Octavia, Hope, and Diyoza’s travels and the mechanics of time dilation and travel through the stones.
