Later on, when everything goes to shit, there's like that really cool shot of the stormtroopers moving through the stalks of wheat. And obviously it's very different from the troopers moving through the turquoise glistening waters of Scarif. But it did feel like there's something about the way that Gilroy is deploying

Yeah. And like we hear Kellen talk about. in the episode, like, the Empire's need, you know, and how can they count on that? Like, it's a risk, right? The Empire needs the grain. They know we need help in order to generate it. They know everyone isn't legal. It's not really clear how hard they're going to look, and that becomes part of the calculus, the fact that this is something

something that the Empire is relying on, but is also there to upend and disrupt and pursue as, like, heinous sport, which is what we watch in this sequence. And right from the jump here, it's... We're in a disturbing kind of... Literally in a disturbing headspace.

No. I was longing for B, and we do get to see him in the stream space before we see him for real. But this was like, I honestly did, I loved this. Because while it is, of course, deeply upsetting to see the way that Gorst continues to haunt Bix's nightmares, you know, for anybody who doesn't recall, Dr. Gorst was the Empire torture artist on Ferrix who put the headset over- Torture artist?

Torture artist. I mean, he is. He is. Gotta give it to him! The massacre of the Desanites, the sound of the children in particular that the Empire, under Gorse's invention and oversight, uses to torment people into coughing up information and then ultimately being driven into a husk-like state. And... one of the things that we know, we saw what happened to Wilman's dad.

Yeah. And I, you know, I was thinking back to how in that ninth episode of season one, Gorse said, doesn't take long. It won't feel that way to you inside, but... Like, this is a show that considers it essential. Not elective, but essential to remind us of how true that is, right? That the horror... takes its root inside of you and it doesn't leave.
