diplomat discussion

 

Spoiler

what's amazing to me is that cahn (creator/runner) & her writers have managed to create a pocket universe 'that works' where the uk is subservient and secondary on the global stage to the point that 2 false flag ops especially the 2nd one here at the end of s3 'seem plausible' within the political/global situation of this timeline

in our timeline russian subs don't get lost anymore - even with red october 'caterpillar drive' technology, should it exist, and should it be operational - the 5 eyes alliance knows where they are and at what depth at all times

+++

s3 featured 2 glitches in it's matrix - in both cases it feels like cahn+team did not have s3 figured out when they put s2 in the can, necessitating some pivots:

- roylin's suicide

- kate & austin's failed hookup replaced by.....

- callum the 'mi6' nuclear sub analyst backchannel to the 'cia' around 'mi6' also appears out of nowhere and conveniently happens to be kate's new fuckbuddy

in our timeline the sigint orgs (nsa, gchq, etc.) don't have 'backchannels'

all minor, and forgivable, but detected and noted as likely necessary to make this pocketverse "work" in 8 episodes

lost started winging it at about this point (end of s3), and man in the high castle suffered for doing the same thing at every season transition

i hope this team keeps it together so that s4+ are watchable by husbands and wives together and equally enjoyed

Just finished "Arcane" based on a recommendation from a friend.  Had low expectations going in and know zero about LoL.

But I was hooked at the end of Episode 3 and it only got better at the end.  Hands down the best thing I've seen in a long time.

Arcane was excellent. Just worked my way through this. The animation was great as was the story.
