Been reading since the beginning, it's something I look forward to whenever it pops up in my email. It's been a delight!

4.3 was pretty good. Brennan showing his nasty side and a dive into the depths. It left things to be resolved, certainly.

Great selection! Wouldn't disagree with any of them. And there's a Substack chat function?!

As for this being a niche within a niche within a niche, that maybe true, but I genuinely see it as fertile field for growth.

Stars:

- PTFO Stonetop is excellent, and I can't believe how much better it's gotten, how much lore and nuance, how many set piece moments.

- Vahid's interestingness! While it's still pretty unclear what motivates him outside of "cril bad, knowledge good, friends important" - contrasted with the layers of personal development, and complex internal compasses we see from pad and anwen on an episode by episode basis. (#backhandedcompliment 😅)

- Consistency: my own lets play has been on unintentional hiatus (coming back soon!), and it's really given me an appreciation for the logical and creative effort it takes to make one of these work at a high level! Kudos!

Wishes:

- I'd like to see Pad developed some more. He's still my favorite character, and I'd like to see another dimension of him, or an additional layer, or a new challenge that helps him expand.

- Pls don't kill Oz (yet) - he's the heart of the whole shebang. I feel like Joss Whedon is somewhere screaming every episode he stays alive at this point.

- I'm very excited by Cicatrix and what he represents as a threat!

- Can _someone_ in the party find lasting love, ever? It feels like something missing from this otherwise prestige tv, all spectrum human drama.
