Can I talk about how the last few episodes of Resistance have really been great for me?

I don't know what the popular concensus on the series has become, or how many people may have dropped out, but the show has really come together for me in the second half since the First Order became a constant presence on the station.​The show no longer feels like the story of the absolute worst spy investigating something that for a long time didn't seem to be there (with some meh after-school special episodes thown in about being a good friend), and now its about ordinary people and how they react to the slowly growing threat of totalitarian opression and marshal law chipping away at their freedoms and way of life. I love that its not afraid to bring up a complicated question like "How much freedom would you sacrifice for security?" to a younger audience, even if they're a little heavy-handed about it. (It feels like a wonderful throwback to Tron Uprising for me; still miss that show)​There's a lot of sympathetic characters, with different points of view and its great that not everyone views the occupation as a bad thing. The techniques they show of the first order quietly silencing dissent and making people disappear. Of slowly insinuating themselves into every facet of life on the station, inch by inch. It's a great exploration of the sequel era and First Order/Empire ideology whereas before probably for most people (and most people still) it just seems like they were largely a death cult blindly following an evil space wizard.​I think a lot of people were originally looking forward to seeing the aces, the Fireball and a greater focus on racing, and none of these things have had a big presence in the show so far. I personally was hoping for something more in line with the Poe Dameron comic. Hopefully we'll all get what we want in the next seasons, but I'm really enjoying where the show is at right now and wanted to share it. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2VBNGax
