It is so bad I almost want to quit the show just because of her. It makes Walter White's wife look like an Oscar winner. I'm honestly shocked a show on that level could let that happen and still haven't corrected it by 40 episodes in.

You’re 3.5 seasons in? You have about .5 seasons of great content left lol. Seasons 5 and 7 are OK I guess, 6 and 8 are rough

Strong disagree on Skyler White tho, think Anna Gunn did a great job, and Skyler White as a character was reasonable enough given her husband was turning into a meth dealing narcissist lol.

In what way? Just prequel hate?

Partially, but in general I hate fanboy service.

Spoiler:

I didn’t mind seeing the Fett armor once I knew it wasn’t him. Seemed to be kind of a cool tribute, was a subtle nod to the fans and you didn’t have to justify suspension of disbelief too much. Having him live on is just annoying and doesn’t add anything. One thing I loved about season one was the nice balance of including things in the universe we know and love but starting a new story with fresh characters. Watching the prequels and sequels really made it obvious to me that I was ready for something different.

Lastly, Boba Fett has a cool costume. Him as a character however is one of the most overrated in any medium of entertainment.

Yes pretty much the Trinity killer storyline seems to be the jump the shark moment for me. Just starts making stupid nonsensical mistake after mistake, the opposite of what his character was portrayed as the whole time. Along with tons of holes in the story. It's continued so far in season 5.

I do give his sister some break as far as acting goes in that I chalk most of it up to absolutely horrible writing, especially her dialogue, so it's tough for me to put it all on her. Though at least some of it is. I think this character takes the cake as worst in any major drama I've watched, and I've watched a lot. I actually don't think it's close either. But maybe it improves in the next few seasons and she tones just constantly flying off the handle and blowing up on everyone over and over and cursing stupidly.

I agree on Boba Fett. I somehow both think it's cool he's back, while also wondering how the hell he ever got this cult like status in the first place. He was a nothing throw off character in the original trilogy. That he's become this huge character in the lore of the universe is baffling.

But whatever. They got an Apple TV+ series based off his character so I guess they might as well bring him back.

That said, Timmy O rules.

w/r/t Boba Fett -- he got huge because they released the toy in advance of RotJ, everybody thought he was amazing and bad-ass looking and *certain* to have a major role, the toy was wildly popular, and then the movie came out and he tripped into a Sarlacc's mouth, womp-womp. But the toy sustained him in the fandom imagination to the extent that Lucas decided to make the Fetts actually important to his universe in the prequels.
