@thorskywalker I accept the fact that you are never going to like this show.
However, it might be possible to read too much into a magazine article. It may taken out of context.
Your dislike of the show seems to be partly based on predictions about where the show is going and what its agenda is.
So far, your negative predictions haven't come true. The show hasn't been negative toward the Jedi in general, but it implies that a few individuals did something bad.
Granted, the last two episodes could be a cluster. You could be correct.
If Osha turns to the dark side without sufficient justification then I will find that disappointing. I don't think that she will.
Although you state that the show is poorly written, I claim that the show is not as bad as you make it out to be. Much of the problem is that the show keeps the viewer in the dark, but I have enjoyed the week-to-week anticipation. (It is a bit of a soap opera, but even George Lucas referred to Star Wars as a family soap opera.)
Yesterday a friend approached me and asked if I had seen The Acolyte because he really loved it. I told him that so did I.
It is easy to understand Mae's motivation and her so-called flip-flops.
1. She turned to the dark side because she believed that the Jedi had killed her family and Osha. (Although I'm not sure why she thought Osha was dead.) She is motivated by revenge.
2. However, when she found out that her sister is alive, she realizes that she didn't need to continue to take revenge.
3. On the planet she is motivated by survival since she thinks that she is about to be killed by The Stranger.
4. When Osha tries to arrest her, she perceives this as a betrayal and defends herself against Osha.
5. She needs a way to get off the planet, so she pretends to be Osha.
6. She thinks that Sol brainwashed Osha against her, and even says as much, so she seeks revenge against Sol. However, she can't defeat a Jedi Master directly and needs to sneak up on him. But when he perceives her presence she loses the element of surprise and backs off.
Mae appears to be a conflicted character, which makes her interesting, so she vacillates and hesitates a little.
Sorry we disagree.
Best wishes,
John Coffey
