Yesterday, someone found my blog by searching for the following:
jack and david eat breakfast and discuss the concert they’re going to that evening when claire comes in wishing them a good morning. jack gets a call from oceanic saying they located his dad’s missing coffin. it’ll be arriving in los angeles by the end of the day
Sir, not only is that the longest search in history, you have absolutely found the right blog! Glad you’re here!
The episode begins in the Sideways world where Jack has another mirror moment. Once again, he finds a peculiar scratch on his neck. Over breakfast, his son, David, reminds him of the concert he’ll be playing that evening. Jack promises to be there and we learn that David’s mother will also be present. It seems pretty obvious at this point that Mom will turn out to be Juliet — at least that’s what I’m hoping for. Jack also gets a cryptic (pun intended) phone call re: his Dad’s coffin. The caller says that the coffin has been located and that it should arrive in Los Angeles by the end of the day. Turns out the caller is Desmond, but given the role he plays in the Sideways world, we should probably assume this information is true. I’m envisioning a post-concert visit to the airport for the good Dr. Shepherd; I imagine his fate (or at least his Sideways fate) will hinge on this visit.
The next scene on the beach shows Jack sewing up Kate, a reversal of the interaction of the scene in the pilot episode where Kate plays doctor to Jack while hearing the “count to five” story. Sawyer, meanwhile, is clearly blaming himself for the deaths of Sun, Jin, and Sayid. I worry that Sawyer’s story might end on a self-destructive note, since I doubt he’ll ever be able to forgive himself — much less live with himself — for the deaths of his friends. Remember, Sawyer is fairly new to this hero business. This is the first time he’s really borne the consequences of making snap decisions for an entire group. The show usually reserves such leadership-scourging for Jack. I love the way Jack tried to encourage Sawyer during this episode, but I think the die has already been cast for how Sawyer’s story will end. I hope I’m wrong, but I think he dies on the Island in some sort of sacrificial way — primarily because he doesn’t believe he deserves to live after what just happened to the sub.
It was nice to see Ben, Miles, and Richard again. (How long have they been trekking across the Island anyway?) Off Island, we witnessed Ben’s moment of “off-Island awareness” as he was being bludgeoned at the hands of Desmond. I’m hoping that this awareness leads to more activity from Ben in the Sideways world. It was nice that Ben hit it off with Rousseau (I really didn’t see that one coming; I didn’t think the actress was able to clear her schedule enough to shoot any scenes for LOST), but I was expecting more in the wake of his Island cognizance. Maybe we’ll see some more of it in the finale.
The scenes in New Otherton were some of the best in this episode. Ben’s expression when Widmore walked into the house was priceless. (Michael Emerson deserves an Emmy for this role. He just keeps getting better and better.) Widmore threatens Ben with this line: “If you shoot me, your last chance of survival is gone.” Turns out Widmore wasn’t counting on Ben’s last resort: siding with Smokey. After neutralizing the ageless Richard Alpert, Locke makes a pitch to Ben: If he helps him leave the Island, MIB will leave Ben in charge. Widmore revealed that he had already lined the plane with C4, so we can connect the dots with the C4 we were shown at the end of “The Candidate” (I had originally wondered if someone else had planted it there).
Then Locke shows up and all Hades breaks loose. I was honestly a little sad to see Richard die such a lame death. At least I think he died. I don’t think Smokey messes around when he tries to kill you. But after his demise, Locke materializes and speaks to Ben. Once more, Locke manipulates Ben to doing his dirty work for him, a task that Ben is all too-willing to sign up for. Of course, Ben is still fixated on one thing — avenging Alex’s death. Widmore spills the beans to Locke about Desmond — a “last resort” — and Ben promptly seizes the opportunity to murder his longtime rival. Emerson’s chilling line read (“He doesn’t get to save his daughter”) was a classic.
Back in the Sideways, Ben had another mirror moment. Following this, he informs Locke that Desmond commented about helping Locke “let go”. Locke understands this as a call to visit Jack and begin the process of surgery. Of course, Jack and Locke banter back and forth about destiny and free will, but the end result is the same: these two agree on what needs to happen next. This is the way it should’ve been on the Island all along. The Sideways world scenes concluded with Kate and Sawyer acting all flirtatious surrounded by cages (flashback, Season 3!), a corrupt L.A. cop named Ana Lucia (flashback, Season 2!), Sayid and Hurley on the run from the law (flashback, Season 5!) and Kate being handed a dress to change into after being handcuffed (flashback, Season 3!). The more things change, the more they stay the same!
Jack’s hero arc is coming to a point of rapid completion. It was no real surprise that he stepped up to answer Jacob’s call, but even though we could see the moment coming a mile away, it still was very fulfilling. Kate voices strong concern that Sun, Jin, & Sayid didn’t die for a lost cause.
Jacob confesses to making a “mistake” — Smokey. Lots of people have been pointing out that last week’s episode didn’t really do Jacob any favors; that the producers gave us a pretty sympathetic view of Smokey based on “Across the Sea” whereas Jacob didn’t get nearly as much play. In doing so, we understand one of the premises of the show: that life may be full of black and white choices, but there are plenty of shades of grey we’re forced to deal with, too. I’ll write more about this later in the week, but the redemption stories we’ve all experienced over the course of this show have demonstrated this clearly. Nobody is as good as they seem on LOST; and really, nobody is as bad as they seem, either.
Jacob’s answer to Hurley’s question, “Why did you bring us here?” was pretty interesting. “I chose you because you were like me. You were all alone. You were looking for something you couldn’t find out there. I chose you because you needed this place as much as it needed you.” I love this line because it acknowledges the distance these characters have traveled in these six years; it’s a nod to the level of investment we’ve made with these characters. And it gives me hope that by tipping their hat to us like this, the producers have a pretty sweet and satisfying conclusion to these stories to share with us.
Of course, the final scene shows us Smokey’s ultimate M.O. Not only is he trying to leave the Island, but he wants to destroy it completely. Not a total shock, given last week’s foreshadowing statement by Mother (“If the light goes out here, it goes out everywhere.”), but it does indicate that his promise to Ben — that when he leaves the Island, he’ll let Ben be in control — is nothing but a lie. I’m hoping this will prompt Ben to reconsider his loyalty to Smokey.
Questions:
Where is Desmond? Could he be at The Source — the center of the Island where “the Light” can be found? Or might he be doing something else — like digging up the body of the real John Locke in anticipation of some sort of Island “rebirth”? What would happen if John Locke’s body were thrown in the same creek
And while we’re at it: Where is Claire? Remember she’s armed. And she now has good reason to want to kill Jack and his crew after they decided to leave her during the Great Sub Get-Away of two episodes ago. I expect her to turn up at the worst possible time.
With Miles running through the jungle, he has to stumble across a dead body that he can glean some info from. But who? Eko? Adam & Eve? Nikki & Paulo? Seriously, that’s the only thing Miles is useful for (other than a few funny quips), so maybe we’ll see something like this in the finale. And did I see it correctly? Did Miles take Richard’s pack with the C4 in it? When Richard was mauled by Smokey, he was NOT wearing his pack. So the C4 has to still be with someone. I think it’s Miles.
Do we believe Widmore when he says Jacob told him how to get back to the Island? I think he’s telling the truth. And I think he has been telling the truth with most everything he’s been saying.
Favorite lines:
Miles: What’s that? A secret-er room?
Ben: It’s where I was told I could summon the monster. That’s before I realized it was the one summoning me.
_______________
Locke: What if….(long pause)…maybe all of this is happening for a reason.
_______________
Hurley (upon watching Jack and Jacob walking off in the distance): I’m just glad it’s not me. (With the way the camera lingered on Hurley there, I wonder if this line is significant for the end game. Maybe Hurley has a major role that only he can fulfill.)
The more I reflect on last week’s “Across the Sea”, the more it works for me. I still think the dialogue is pretty lame in the scene where Mother explains the light to Jacob and MIB; but otherwise, I think this was a solid entry to the LOST canon. As mythology episodes go, it was certainly jam-packed with reveals. Moreover, I agree with Doc Jensen when he says this episode was intended to spark our imaginations to think about the show’s big picture. I’ll have more to post about said big picture later in the week.
But for now, I wanted to reflect on “Mother” — the character played so aptly by Allison Janney, not the Danzig song. After watching the episode a second time, I think there are several clues that Mother is the Island’s earlier manifestation of the Smoke Monster.
But the question we should ask ourselves is how Mother perhaps also functioned as the Island’s protector prior to Jacob. Could it be that — like Jacob in the years following her death — Mother has been bringing people to the Island, too? Could it be that Mother brought Claudia to the Island specifically because of the “special” children she would give birth to? When Jacob takes the drink Mother offers him, she makes the statement, “Now you’re just like me,” or something to that effect. How is Jacob — as we see him and know him — like Mother?
Also, this guy over at Cultural Learnings brings up an interesting point. He wonders if the Kate / Claire connection (Kate raises Claire’s son, Aaron) is meant to parallel the Mother / Claudia storyline. Not sure how that plays, but it’s something worth pondering.
The good news: even if you hated “Across the Sea”, the producers have been adamant that the show is more about character than mystery. So we’re due for a satisfying resolution to the storylines of our main characters.
I always want to remember the way Abby Kate says “chicken parmesan “. We’ll go to Olive Garden and she’ll ask, “Daddy, are you going to order chicken Farmer John?” It cracks me up.
_______________
I also love how Jackson says certain things. He likes to “swush” the toilet; he loves the color “yeyo”; he knows Daddy likes to drink his “foffee”. And I want to soak it all up so I can remember it when he’s older.
_______________
I love hearing my kids pray. The other day, we passed by a firetruck with its siren on. Joshua started asking me about it, if I thought somebody’s house was on fire, stuff like that. Later that night, as we were saying our prayers before bed, Joshua prayed, “God, please take care of the people whose house was on fire. Please help them not be hurt and please help us take care of them.” I’d already forgotten about the fire truck a long time ago, but I love that Joshua had the conviction to 1) remember it, and 2) take it to God. That’s one of those moments I want to remember for a long time.
With the new LP from The National spinning, here’s my MLB rundown for this week:
Trey Hillman is the first managing casualty of the new season, having been dismissed yesterday in favor of former Brewer manager Ned Yost. Ironically, it was Hillman who lobbied for Yost to be added as a special advisor this offseason. But unless Yost is bringing four more starters to plug in behind Greinke in the rotation, I doubt it’ll matter much. Too bad for Hillman; he was a stand up dude.
Is there a more clutch player in baseball right now than Andre Ethier? I was at Dodger Stadium last week and they showed a clip of all his walk-off hits from the past couple of seasons. Dude is money with the game on the line. If you’re filling out an early All-Star Game ballot, be sure his name is on it. We might be looking at a Triple Crown season here.
As an aside, there are few ideas born in the mind of man that are better than All You Can Eat Seats. Trust me.
If you buy into run differential (the number of runs a team has either outscored or been outscored by their opponents), then there are a few interesting tidbits in the numbers:
Don’t look now, but the Padres and Twins are tied with the Yankees for the second-best record in the majors. The Twins seem to be flying under the radar right now, but a good showing in their weekend series against the Bronx Bombers could change all of that. They’re first in the AL in batting average, second in ERA and OBP, and 3rd in WHIP and OPS. Francisco Liriano finally looks like himself after an up-and-down ’09 campaign. Justin Morneau also looks to be fully recovered from the back issues that felled him late last year. As for the Padres, I keep waiting for the clock to strike midnight on this Cinderella story. But so far, it’s been a dominant pitching staff that has carried them to the top of the NL. 1st in ERA, 1st in WHIP, 2nd in Batting Average Against, 2nd in OPS Against…sure, it’s been a nice run. But remember that Safeco is a pitching haven; these ridiculous pitching numbers are going to come back to earth and when they do, this team won’t have the offensive firepower to overcome it. This has been a nice little story, but expect it to end very soon.
This episode was something of a mixed bag for me. There were elements that I thought were really cool; and there were probably an equal number of moments that were….well, hokey. (Light? That’s it? Seriously?) But hey, we only have 210 minutes of show left, so let’s roll with it. I just hope the final couple of episodes live up to my ridonkulous expectations. On to the breakdown…
Here’s what worked for me:
Here’s what didn’t work for me:
Some other thoughts:
Sidebar: There’s probably going to be a lot of LOST chatter going on here at the blog over the next few weeks. Hard to believe that this great show will be going off the air in less than two weeks. In the meantime, I’ll be breaking it all down; I’m even preparing my “what it all means” theory of the show which I’ll be posting soon.
In the meantime, I’ve been reflecting on last week’s incredible entry, “The Candidate”, which I have a feeling may go down as one of the all-time greats in series history. But during a careful rewatch this evening (over a bowl of Chocolate Cheerios, I might add), I noticed something about Widmore and his crew: they’re wusses. We’ve already heard Zoe blathering on about how she’s a geologist (or something), not a mercenary. In “The Candidate”, Sawyer refuses to get in the polar bear cages and — at will — jerks the firearm away from “dough boy” (who later becomes Locke’s late night snack). If Widmore was really going to “war” with Smokey, wouldn’t it stand to reason that he’d bring tougher hench-persons? I mean, this is the same guy who had Martin Keamy in his employ at one time. He knows shady. And yet now, with so much on the line, he comes to the Island armed with Mickey’s Fire Brigade?
I’m starting to wonder if Widmore isn’t somehow in cahoots with MIB. Without Widmore’s presence, Locke could’ve never pulled the long con he pulled on the castaways, convincing them to hop aboard Chuck’s sub. He also uses Sawyer’s knowledge of the cave and its crossed out names to get our favorite rogue to lay down his guns in order to preserve Kate’s life (a theme that never gets old in the writer’s room, I guess). How would Widmore know that such an argument would have any bearing on Sawyer? How would Widmore know that Sawyer had been to the cave anyway unless MIB has somehow communicated this to him?
Maybe there’s a way to explain this that I’m not seeing. And of course, you had that whole conversation between Locke and Widmore earlier this season — I forget which episode — where they basically stare at each other by the pylons and talk about the war that’s coming to the Island. But maybe that was for show. Maybe that was all a part of the long con. Don’t forget: Widmore was the one who found John Locke when he left the Island and teleported out to Tunisia. It was Widmore who gave Locke the resources to try and get the band back together for an Island reunion tour. It was Widmore who set into action the chain of events that led to John’s eventual murder, a crucial part of MIB’s plan to find a loophole in order to kill Jacob and leave the Island. As the series winds down, all of this points to Widmore as a possible cohort to the Man in Black.
Of course, I could be wrong. I’m sure tomorrow night’s episode will reveal Widmore as the good guy who’s been pulling the strings all along or something.
"The Naked Gospel" by Andrew Farley
Disclosure: This book was provided to me free of charge by The Ooze Viral Bloggers.
I recently received a copy of Andrew Farley’s book The Naked Gospel: The Truth You May Never Hear in Church. The back jacket alone was enough to pique my interest:
Jesus plus nothing. 100% natural. No additives. It’s the truth you may never hear in church. The Naked Gospel is a chapter-by-chapter assault on the churchy jargon and double-talk of our day. It puts forth a message that is simple but life changing. With a fresh take on Scripture and an unapologetic style, The Naked Gospel will challenge you to reexamine everything you thought you already knew.
Jesus plus nothing? An assault on churchy jargon? Be prepared to reexamine everything you think you know? Understandably, I was stoked about reading this book.
In the end, the book failed to deliver on the back jacket’s promises.
The Naked Gospel is a good — not great — read. Farley’s primary conviction is to purge legalism — in all its forms — from the Christian faith. The author aims to do this by demonstrating the ineptitude of the “Old Covenant” and the complete superiority of the New Covenant founded by Christ. Beginning with his own upbringing, Farley confronts the myriad paths we seek to earn our salvation by adding something (evangelism, Bible study, prayer, etc.) to the Jesus = Salvation equation. But, as the bold font on the jacket flap declares, the “naked gospel” is Jesus + nothing.
What’s surprising, then, is how much of an emphasis Farley places on the words of the NT epistles. Farley posits that most of Christ’s teachings were addressed to “Old Covenant” thinkers and the purpose of these teachings was to demonstrate to the people their need for a Savior. This diminishes the teachings of Jesus — in particular, the Sermon on the Mount — as archaic and mostly irrelevant to Christian experience; conversely, it elevates the NT epistles as the clearest representation of Gospel-life.
And this is where I fundamentally disagree with Farley. I would argue (vehemently, in fact) that Christ stands as the full revelation of God’s will (Col. 1.19). Christ stands in tremendous continuity with the OT law and prophets; in fact, He claims to be their embodied fulfillment (Matt. 5.17). Farley never deals with this in a satisfactory manner, instead building a case for the inferiority of the Old Testament covenant. For the author, the gravity point in Scripture is found in the NT epistles (in particular, the book of Hebrews). But this is yet another point where I disagree with Farley. I understand Christ as inaugurating the Kingdom reign of God through His ministry (Matthew 4.17; Mark 1.15). Jesus himself claims that His teaching regarding the Kingdom of God is “good news” (Luke 4.43), the very reason He was sent by God. For Farley, the only portion of Scripture that seems important is the material that takes place after the resurrection. (Nevermind the fact that the Gospels were written AFTER the resurrection.)
This is not to say that the text is without benefit. Farley demonstrates the sufficiency of Christ’s death to bring about reconciliation and atonement for those who believe. Readers will come away with a renewed understanding of the nature of the New Covenant. And Farley’s honesty about his own struggles with legalism are helpful and they give the rest of his arguments an air of authenticity. But these merits must be held in tension with what I would consider to be considerable weaknesses to Farley’s presentation of the Gospel.
A few more thoughts from this week’s stellar episode of LOST:
Locke has some sort of Island awareness or ability to know what’s going on. When Jack wakes up on the beach, Locke is already aware of the fact that Widmore has put the rest of the castaways in the polar bear cages. How does he know this? I suppose he could’ve been hiding out in the jungle and seen this taking place. But if that’s the case, then why go back to the beach and get Jack? I know he says he needs Jack to convince the castaways to trust him…and I know that to be true…but I’m just wondering how Locke had seemingly instantaneous knowledge of Widmore’s activity. Could Locke have a spy in Widmore’s camp? His own version of “Ilana”, summoned from some off-Island locale to help liberate him? Just food for thought.
Locke tells Jack he can kill him and all of his friends. I think this is a bluff; we’ve been told that the “rules” stipulate that candidates can’t be killed, at least not by Smokey. Sounds kinda like God and Satan ironing out the terms of Job’s trial. But someone else posited that maybe Smokey CAN kill the candidates; maybe if he kills them, then he won’t be able to leave the Island, which seems to be the one thing MIB really wants anyway. So by telling us he “can’t” kill the candidates, maybe what that means is that in order to accomplish what he wants, he can’t kill them. Maybe it’s not so much a matter of Smokey’s inability to kill, but it has to do with MIB’s desired outcome. Again, just food for thought.
Speaking of killing and whatnot, why didn’t Smokey just go and kill Widmore while he was getting all his henchmen? (Am I the only one whose glad that the plaid-shirt-wearin’ “dough boy” finally met his maker?) I guess he needed the gambit of “Widmore’s trying to blow up the plane” to steer the castaways to the sub. But where was ol’ Chuck anyway? Other than that brief cameo, we haven’t seen much of Charles since he arrived on the Island. Do we believe him when he says he’s acting in the best interests of our castaways?
I worry about the fact that Kate’s lack of candidacy was pointed out several times in this episode. I fear that the endgame will come down to Smokey and our remaining castaways — Sawyer, Jack, Kate, and Hurley (the same four that were brought to the pier by the Others at the end of Season 2) — and Smokey threatening to kill Kate if Jack doesn’t comply with his wishes. And Jack’s determination won’t allow him to back away at this point….and that makes me worry for Senora Austin.
In the recent issue of EW (which was almost completely devoted to the ending of LOST), Damon Lindelof was asked to comment about the much-maligned Sideways world that’s been a part of this season’s story. I thought what he had to say was really interesting:
We resign ourselves to the fact that perhaps even after LOST is over, there will still be people who wish we hadn’t done the Sideways. But personally speaking, they’re on of my favorite things we’ve ever done.
Part of me wants to say, “Well, yeah. You know the significance of the Sideways world while the rest of us are still trying to figure it out.” But that comment gives me incredible hope that all of this is going to come together in a satisfying way. We’ll see.
Another comment that was interesting: Matthew Fox on how it all ends. Nothing spoilerish here, just interesting. Here’s Fox on the finale:
I think it’s beautiful. If we all did our jobs right, I really feel it’s going to be terribly sad, but at the same time be really cathartic and full of hope. It has the potential to be really profound. I will say this: It’s not going to be what anybody thinks it is. I know a lot of people have written a lot of theories about how this will all end — and I’m pretty sure nobody guessed it.
Wow. What an episode. I’m still a little choked up over the ending. I have to say that I didn’t see that coming. Wow.
All right. This will likely be a much shorter review than usual and there are a couple of reasons for that. First, I’m out of town this week and I have a very limited window here to try and get this typed and published. Second, because I’m away from home, I haven’t had the chance to absorb this ep on the same level I normally do; typically I watch the episode once — “just for me” — and then I’ll rewatch it as I type my review. Since I’m away from home (and the luxuries of my DVR), I’m going basically from memory here based on one viewing. So here goes.
The Sideways was awesome; full of Twilight-Zone-esque parallels and great dialogue between Locke and Jack. I was taken with Locke’s guilt over his father’s injured condition. In the Sideways reality, John Locke feels that he deserves to be in a wheelchair, a radical distinction from the Locke we’ve come to see in the Island reality. It was always Locke’s refusal to believe he was simply a wheelchair bound victim that drove his Island iteration. But now we see why Sideways Locke refuses to believe; his hopefulness has been replaced with guilt. Jack’s line: “I think you’re a candidate” gripped me, too. Did you catch Locke’s words as he was coming out of his sleep? “Push the button. I wish you would’ve believed me.” Clearly, he’s having some sort of dream-like awareness of his Island existence. But did Desmond fail here to bring Jack and Locke to their moment of revelation? I doubt it, but with these two, it seems to be more of a slow boil. Always with these two, right? This is honestly the first time this season that I can’t wait to see what comes next in the Sideways world. I’m really, really anxious to see how these two worlds / timelines are going to merge, if at all.
According to an EW interview with Cuse and Lindelof, the deaths of Sayid, Sun, & Jin were meant to leave no doubt in our minds as to the villainous nature of John Locke / MIB. Clearly, he’s been pulling a long con on the castaways, with the intent of killing them all. We’re still left to wonder what killing the castaways really proves or accomplishes. I suppose if he can somehow kill the candidate for Jacob, then he wins in their Island-diety cosmic struggle. But how are our castaways supposed to kill / harm Smokey? The only thing I can think of is the bag of Jacob ash that Hurley should still have with him (if it isn’t on the bottom of the ocean now along with Sun and Jin). Maybe the best they can hope to do is contain Smokey rather than kill him.
I have to say I expected some kind of heroic demise for Sayid. His arc this season has been fairly tragic; after being “infected”, it was believed that Sayid had completely “crossed over” to the dark side. And he did, or at least it seems, or at least it seems he did so for a while. But Hurley’s comment from a few weeks back — something like “you can always come back from the dark side; you know, like Anakin” — was probably meant to foreshadow his heroic sacrifice. Sayid has always been one of my favorite characters; the torturer whose self-inflicted wounds are far more torturous than anything his foes could heap upon him. While he’s been wrestling with not being able to “feel anything” here as the series winds down, he acted in a primal, selfless moment last night to save the lives of his fellow castaways. For that, he goes down as a hero and hopefully, he’s earned the redemption he’s longed for over the course of the series.
But I wasn’t prepared for the kick to the gut that followed his death. Sun and Jin — long separated lovers — becoming the series’ “Romeo and Juliet” (as the actor who plays Jin referred to them). It was only one episode ago that these two were tearfully reunited on the beach of Hydra Island. But their death — Jin’s refusal to leave Sun — was beautiful in my opinion. I know others were more angry about it, which I understand. It does bother me that Ji Yeon is now an orphan; and for all practical purposes, so is Aaron, at least in the Island timeline. But it would’ve been a greater travesty for Sun or Jin to survive without the other. After being separated for so long (and across the expanse of time), it was altogether appropriate for them to go down with the ship. But yeah, I was really hoping for a happy ending for them.
Question: Where in the world are Ben, Richard, and Miles? I can’t remember if they had access to any C4; I don’t think they did. So I’m guessing the detonation device Locke found on the plane was actually put there by Widmore. But maybe not. Remember, Widmore is the one who sent a freighter full of C4 to the Island the first time, so we’re probably meant to associate last night’s C4 with Widmore. But Ben and the boys have been conspicuously absent throughout all of this end-game drama. I expect them to make some sort of eleventh hour rescue appearance or something, perhaps even next week. Either way, I want some more Benjamin Linus. After offing three of our favorite cast members, don’t we at least deserve that?
What are your thoughts? What did you think of the episode? I’ll be checking back in often and we can discuss in the comments. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
