![]() ![]() ![]() This is a fantastic show with great characters and amazing plot lins which just get better with every season. I really dont get why so many people gave bad reviews for this show? But even through a season of some of the best action and most revolutionary additions to the mythology, the heart of the show is still its family of central characters and their powerful bond forcing them to choose between their allegiances to the Rebellion and their relationships with each other as they face their hardest challenges and most tragic losses ever. Season Four (2017) The fourth and final season is by far the strongest and most coherent of the series, blending the classically episodic nature of previous seasons into one long continuous story that grows and evolves week on week. Though a thorough and calculated slow burn to the finale, we are rewarded with some of the most visually stunning sequences in Star Wars animation building toward a conclusion so rife in tension and nail-biting action as to be worthy of Grand Admiral Thrawn's inclusion to the series. Season Three (2016) By far the most stylistic and best looking the series has ever been, the third season deals heavily with the consequences of the previous two, moving the story forward and making our heroes pay for every small victory they have achieved. It builds on the familiar and begins to dabble in new and darker ideas, opening the story up to unimaginable levels of potential and the raw emotion at the heart of the season's climactic finale, an epic confrontation years in the making, gives fans the duel they never knew they wanted and makes them pay for it tenfold in heart-wrenching tension. Season Two (2015) Where the first season placed a lot of focus on Kanan and Ezra, the second expands that focus to envelop the entire crew, taking their small weekly victories and allowing the events of the series to greater influence those on a galactic scale. The first season flounders a little when it comes to properly conveying the threat of the Empire, a flaw which is rectified very efficiently by the arrival of Grand Moff Tarkin and it builds to a bold and satisfying resolution that lets the audience know that, like Clone Wars before it, Rebels is not afraid to push boundaries and embrace the Darker Side of Star Wars stories. I would love to know how the therapist interpreted that.Season One (2014) There's a familial heart to this first season which makes it immediately appealing, centering on building a strong foundation in the relationships of our main cast and giving us an idea how tightly knit they would become over the series. In New York, someone tells Jovin that she fired her therapist for saying “between you and I” (using the subject pronoun I instead of the object pronoun me). Perhaps that irritation with your husband who pronounces nuclear as nucular, or with the aged relative who still types two spaces after a full stop, is simply the visible tip of a deeper frustration. Maybe, even, they are stand-ins, part of the psychopathology of everyday life. They are reliable staples, just some of the ballast with which families and long-standing friendship groups make up their daily conversation. In Jovin’s transcriptions, grammar quibbles seem on the whole to be implicitly ironic, or at least aware of their inconsequentiality. ![]() In terms of low-key rage, they belong to a different order from the colleague taking credit for your work or the neighbor parking in your space. And yet, as Jovin presents them, these grievances sound rehearsed, well-aired, largely cheerful. Others vent about family members or friends (who may or may not be standing right next to them). In many of the book’s anecdotes, people approach the Grammar Table in groups, calling on Jovin to officiate a dispute. Not everyone Jovin encounters, however, has such a Zen approach to the language. ![]()
