how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Not enough to put a number on. The shape below is drawn from what there is, with the widest uncertainty band we use — it is the start of an answer, not one.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“The audience was like 20 steps ahead of every character and we were just kind of watching them catch up.”

“making her this “evil” makes the conflict less compelling. The writers are giving us, the viewer, an easy out by saying Kuvira is the real “bad guy.” It takes away from the tension of two bad alternatives that was established in episode 3 – Kuvira running an authoritarian state or world leaders installing Prince Wu on the throne. There seemed to be no correct choices. But by including slave labor and concentration camps, Kuvira is established as “evil” and Wu is established as “good” and the “correct” choice. It simplifies the conflict and makes it a little less interesting.”
