If episode 1 and 2 was combined into a single hour long episode, don't split up 4 and 5, and cut up and interlace all of episode 3's exposition throughout, then this would've been the third episode. And we'd feel like we're leaving the set-up stage and starting to get into the real show.

Takes the one without the forehead tattoo and doesn’t notice the new tattoo osha has in episode 6. It’s the worst writing and directing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s fan fiction not Star Wars.

      @@zengamer21 no, Sol left the planet thinking he was with Osha. Period. The idea Sol knew it was Mae all along was only because people didn't want to believe he can't tell them apart due to familiarity with Osha and the Force powers, but the show was telling us this entire time that he did not know and the Force is not some always-on sensor array. He realized it was Mae only after he was stranded on the malfunctioning ship and had no way of going back for Osha.
      Now it is up to the last two episodes to reveal what his true involvement in the past event was, and if he's somehow corrupt on top of everything else (which would be the only acceptable reveal that he purposely left Osha, knew it was Mae, and is even more involved with Qimir than even Qimir let on.)

    I’m a little disappointed that you two didn’t realize that Sol actually did know it was Mae from the start. I two was one of the people complaining at the end of last weeks episode that how will he not sense/recognize that it’s Mae, but they made it clear off jump that Sol clearly knew with the way he called out Osha’s name as she was sneaking into the cockpit to stab him to let her know, aye I know you’re there. Then the way he abruptly embraces her with a hug to yet again take away an opportunity for her to attack as he tries to simply talk to her. He’s probably also responsible for the ship “losing power” to further halt her intentions. I also think this was the strongest episode so far due to the Qimir/Osha moments but good lord with everything else in this episode it continues to suffer.

      Gotta be careful with "knew from the start", "had suspicions" and "figured it out quickly" though. On one hand we're expecting Force use to be all-revealing, and on the other we'd have to accept that Sol would knowingly leave Osha on the planet at the mercy of Qimir and/or forest creatures.
      It's better as currently portrayed that he realized while being stuck on a ship that has been sabotaged. Or he himself if evil and we would be awakened to that fact in the end.

      No Sol did not know it was Mae all along. Follow that logic means he purposely left Osha on the planet all alone either to be killed by wild life or killed by Qimir. Stop trying to make leaps in logic to defend/justify bad writing in this show. Also the Osha Qimir moments themselves don’t make sense. Osha was ready to have her sister killed by Yord because she murdered 2 Jedi but Qimir is naked and plays vulnerable bad boy and suddenly it’s forgotten and forgiven that Qimir killed 8 Jedi 2 of which were her friends Jecki and Yord, tried to kill her, her master and her sister and is the one who manipulated and put her sister on this path in the first place. But she spent less than 1 day with him and suddenly shes curious about the dark side and putting on his mask. A gentle breeze is enough to make Osha and Mae change their motivations and personality.

      @@venenders170 precisely. Sol realized later (and in the context of this show with its flaws, that's the best interpretation). You hit the nail on the head about what is often weak in these shows: turning somebody to look past the slaughter of people they were allied with should never be a 1 day flip - unless there's some personality changing process explained to be behind it (brain wipe, reprogramming, possession, psychic power) otherwise, this should be a lengthy process of painting the former comrades as the "true" evil, revealing/twisting past events to show their misdeeds and corrupt policies, frame jobs, etc.

      @@venenders170 not trying to defend the bad writing for this AT ALL, I’m just simply stating that in THIS episode it was CLEAR to see in how Sol was acting towards Mae that he knew which twin was with him. Nothing to do with “following logic”, I simply stating something that I noticed and that I was surprised that Kristian & Mike didn’t. So I guess I apologize that you didn’t understand my comment..? And yes I did like the seeds of manipulation scenes between Qimir & Osha, those scenes specifically featured improved writing and a tone more in line with what I was hoping the show would be, the cunning manipulation from a Sith.

    If you understand that Sol knew that was Mae the entire time and it was him who was tampering with the comms and ship along with lying about turning himself in and confessing, you can see it's him who is the "Corrupt" and Qimer is the "Teach" in the title of the episode. Also seems that Qimer is likely a Sith outcast and will become the first Ren, not sure why everyone is holding on to the "Jedi might call me a Sith" so literally. I think Qimer is out to expose the Sith to "tip the scale" so that dark side users like him can be free from any order like he's clearly said last episode

      At best that gets around the technicality though, since Sith are supposed to be defined by their use of the Dark Side, their dabbling in forbidden Force practices, and their use of red sabers. That said, the one good thing the Jedi discussions recognized is that there are splinter orders of fallen Jedi and non-Jedi Force users in pockets. I'll accept if someone says, files or redacts a report chalking up Qimir as a *Sith pretender that fell from the Jedi Order and wanted to sow hysteria about their possible return.*

    The way I see a show like the Acolyte (plus various other Disney+ shows) compared to a show like House of the Dragon is like you’re getting a meal. Each ep of HotD is like being served one course of the most phenomenal food you’ve ever eaten and is a whole meal within itself. By the end, you’ve had 10 exquisite courses resulting in the finest dining experience of your life. With Acolyte, each ep is like being given a plate with a few breadcrumbs on it, while the chef stands there and says, “hmmm I wonder what these breadcrumbs could be…” because they don’t have enough food for every course. So you sit through 7 courses of that and then for the last one, they give you a piece of toast.

Also all the clamoring that woman are more than just sexual objects/fantasy but in this show we’ve had a lot of the female gaze with Shirtless Yord/Qimir and their muscles but nothing even remotely sexy for the male gaze because it is shamed and looked down upon nowadays by parts of society.

If one does not read or follow all this lore of easter egg characters, that interaction is so out of place and meaningless. They have to kill off the weirdly tall english bloke right? Also, the handheld device originally had white lights until Mae reset it to factory. Then it was red. If I noticed, surely Sol did. Again, enjoy the content but missed Steph. Thanks.
