As the Gelfling and the Skeksis prepare for a fateful battle, the Scientist starts work on a new secret weapon. [Season Finale]

Given that people just starting the show have commented in the full season thread, I figured it'd be good to avoid spoilers in that discussion. Feel free to mention specifics here!

Oh dang man I am finally here at the end. Thank goodness for long weekends.

This continued to blow me away. The messages of forgiveness, moving forward, and adapting in the show are so important, and (I think) very Hensonian. Generally, if you're assimilated by a hideous arachnoid hivemind, that's kind of it for character development, but here we don't get that. Both the hivemind and the people it assimilated can change and move on.

As for Seladon ... well, I think her forgiveness was a little too quick, but everybody was very busy at the time. It truly says something that her stubbornness didn't break even when she saw how awful the Skeksis truly were, but only when she saw her own sister die. That's a very real character trait for a puppet.

rather be jorting, you make a very good point. I myself wondered why the Archer did not do the thing when it was clear the Hunter needed to be killed, but then I thought: of course they wouldn't have him do that, then there wouldn't be a plot. But it was clear the Archer knew he could do it if he had to, and only then for the sake of others.

(I love the Heretic. I treasure the line "I am a fun Skeksis.")

So now we have two threads for discussion of the whole season ? Isn't the entire point of making an entire season thread to discuss the entire season ? If people expect the whole season thread to be spoiler free, then that's their problem ?

Mod note: Oops, hey, sorry, but it looks like there's some confusion! Full season discussions are definitely not spoiler-free (only individual episode posts are spoiler-free regarding upcoming episodes), so the place to discuss all the episodes / overall story for the season would actually be in the already existing full season post/thread. If you want to leave this one open for discussion of only episode 10, for any reason, let us know and we can re-open this and edit the text to reflect that. Otherwise, folks should go ahead and post their comments for the whole season over in the other thread.
