Rian Johnson just won whatever you win for that.

At present imdb has the episode at 10/10, with 8000 votes. Can't last but wow.

Was just talking to Julie today about the difference between 4 out of 5 stars for apps reviewed 40 times and those reviewed 4000 times, about how there should be some algorithm to put those on an equal footing.

You know how sometimes you're briefly sad about where art can't go, about the various secret limits preventing any story from being about what it promises to, any hint of which it makes it all taste like cardboard?

That's the real fear that was just assuaged - the collective agitation wasn't about the ending but about how the misbuilt bridge would fall. Depicting which requires not just misbuilding a bridge but a portion of air, two shores, a stretch of river. Hence the gratitude.

For once the promise was kept.

I've watched the pilot four or five times. It has an amazing economy of establishment and I'd say a perfect structure.
