Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 8817462" data-attributes="member: 4937">Agreed.Most of my concerns on the pacing are agnostic, in as much as they are scenes that currently do not have a payoff but which may have a payoff at a future point.  a) The Syril Karn story line after episode #3.b) The childhood flashbacks in episodes #1 and #2.c) The Vel story line after episode #6.d) Is Mon Mothma's character being explored deeply enough to justify the time?  I feel like she either needs less screen time or more depending on what the story around her is driving at.  For example, her story suffers for the lack of any foil but her husband, who hasn't been presented with any depth compared to foils and antagonists like Syril, Deedra, Skeen, Blevin or even Syril's mother.  Her antagonist is actually The Emperor himself, so I think it's been a mistake to not put a foil in her way like Sate Pestage.  I also have problems with the lack of nuance she has in her speeches.  She talks like an opposition party in a free government, not like a member of an opposition party in an authoritarian government.  Someone should have spent more time listening to say Russian State TV and how opposition figures word their statements in a way that they are critical but not of the person of the ruler.  All of that might be filler, depending on what happens in the future.  Of the three, I think following Syril Karn is the most obviously worthwhile and the other two are very much in question.But I don't feel like this is a show that has filler or wasted dialogue.  The writing is generally very sharp and purposeful.</blockquote>
