They did something that was very important to do. They got us right back into story, which you would think would be difficult after losing such a major character. But you have to get right back into story. You have to say that this is a story that's worth telling without Joel.

okay um which a lot of times with your main characters it's hard to do yep it's hard to imagine the Sopranos without Tony Soprano it's hard to imagine uh Breaking Bad without Walter White Succession without Logan Succession without Logan we've talked about this it's hard to imagine however this show is not about Joel it's about he was the anchor of the show it's really about the world and the choices that the characters have to make so they have to

Then a little time jump to where you assume that people have processed things a little bit more and you see that literally Jackson is blooming again. The season has changed.

So I thought that the episode had to do that, and it did do that.

Don't you dare. I was like, God damn, he is cooking. So I enjoyed the council scene. It was my favorite scene of the entire episode. Because while Ellie was able to deliver a really competent speech. I didn't think she had that in her bag.
