Minor nitpick in an otherwise really good episode, but it was weird how they put in flashbacks of Una's testimony when Neera was reading the asylum law. That scene had literally just happened, did they make this episode expecting people to be on their phones half paying attention because there aren't any explosions or something?
I think it was to highlight how neera had led Una to say exact phrases. the testimony was many paragraphs long and that flashbacks were to pick out the exact sentances neera had brought out
That makes sense, I would get it if it had happened earlier in the episode and this was the big reveal, but it just happened a couple minutes ago and was still fresh in my mind, so it just seemed excessive and ruined the pacing a bit imo
It was hand holding for the politically opposed viewer. Just saying the law doesn't make the point to those who have a more narrow view of what asylum is.
Honestly, that makes a bit more sense.
The flashbacks were very precise, highlighting the exact words that were the keys to the logic. I don't think it was too much, personally.
Oh yeah. That stood out to me as well.
@ferengigrindset Me, definitely not on my phone, definitely paying full attention… 👀 😇
yeah I thought that as well
