Try living under that system, heβs just a one star general, if he did any serious pushback heβd have been relived of his post and executed long ago

I love the conflicting views of the different characters and how they are portrayed. Thanks Ben. You are the only person I know of that has mentioned how Jerome feels like a realist. He sees things for how they are, and picks his battles - yet he fails to make any change precisely because of this view. Annette to me feels like a Nihilist. She has trauma in her past that was entirely her fault (Refusing to hide Shins family), and completely shuts down because of it. She forces herself to believe that nothing she does will change anything, so why bother? Lena is the Idealist as we all know. She sees things for how they ought to be, and tries to do everything in her power to make that a reality. This causes her to clash with everyone else, and makes it harder for her to stick to her beliefs.

oh shit I forgot this is the episode with Uncle Jerome's final speech... god, he's such an interesting and excellent character. That shot of his worn-down boots gives so much context to his bitter cynicism and total lack of faith in the republic - he undoubtedly felt so disappointed and betrayed by how badly the leaders and chain of command handled the initial Giad offensive. And then off he goes, presumably to do his own little coup, stopping the military command from getting in Lena's way, so that she can have a shot at her dream.

The Uncle is an idiot. I would've said to him during his little monologue: "So you have both failed your nation in every possible way and are now condemning them to die? Would like to step down now or should I execute you on the spot for treason and extreme negligence in the line of duty?"

Uncle does nothing but spit facts. He knows the Alba are despicable, that the 86 are marginalized and essentially being genocided. If the 86 did just bail and let the Alba get wiped out, he'd have no problem with it, in fact he thinks it's what SHOULD happen. When he says "if we're lucky, it'll just be a massacre", he's leaving the blank and pillaging part out, which is unfortunately way too common in these types of situations. Despite all that, he still walks his ass to the front lines with a rifle to buy Lena time so that her idealist dream gets one last chance of becoming the new reality instead of the corrupt system he's been stuck in for a decade.

Amazing reaction, guys! Iβve been waiting so long for this episode. Itβs one of my favorites because we witness Shinβs mental state breaking in front of us, and seeing that from Fredericaβs perspective was *chefβs kiss*v
Also the line βFollow me if you want to liveβ is so underrated! I love it so much!

Finding these two so early has to be one of my biggest regrets.
I can't wait this long for all my favourite shows they're covering, I'm so excited for a month and a half from now

Shin is reaching his breaking point. What a chilling smile
