After watching, I was dreading the reactions. This was another tease of an episode and subversion of expectation, which I knew would leave a lot of people disappointed. I get it. I think we're meant to be frustrated. It's like holding off on an orgasm. We might think we want everything right now, but prolonging things and experiencing that frustration makes the pay-off more rewarding. It's for viewers like me who are tired of the same old ways of storytelling and want something that doesn't give us what's to be expected in a story... but so many people don't get it, or they get it and don't like it. I know going into a conversation saying they don't get it means I will get comments about being full of shit, and how the emperor has no clothes, and that's just what I got in many conversations lol. I have no issues with the episode, but this episode has led to some of the most unpleasant conversations about the show. I'm dreading watching some of the aftershows that haven't been uploaded yet.
