I think they've confirmed seven seasons total? Or six. One of the two.

They've mentioned having a series of 4 arcs of 12 planned. We're at the halfway point, assuming that still holds true.

Same, it’s like you’re constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop and everyone being all ‘curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal’.

I get the impression that Shadow Weaver is a character who is solely on her side. So long as it benefits her more to remain within the Alliance--and it does, since her bridge with the Horde has been fairly burned and she is being given the chance to play vizier from a lack of options--I think she will.

I think it's a little ambiguous, but she did take the time to teach him seagull.

Look, if we're going to redeem Catra (and we almost certainly are) who tried to blow up the planet and kill everyone on it rather than concede defeat, we can probably redeem Hordak who is basically in the same net weight class of being a Traumatized Fuckup Child Soldier.

If the finale has Hordak and Entrapta blasting off in a rocket to explore the universe I think I'll have gotten what I want out of this.

Why? It sounds like it might have been an interesting setting to explore some topical themes, given that binary choice (North or South) was such a pivotal event in American history. I haven't even seen Game of Thrones, but from what I gather of them as creators it doesn't sound like they'd make the best use of it, but it seems like a good setup at least and I wouldn't think they garnered so much hate for the last season that it'd essentially tank their public cache. Was it just that people assumed it'd glorify the idea of the South winning too much? That it'd get the history, causes etc wrong? That no-one trusted them to write that story? Or just that the idea of a show at least partially discussing racism is just that toxic that no-one wants to see it because the likelihood is it wouldn't do the theme justice?

Because in the current years one of the last things most people want or need is two white guys' takes on what chattel slavery as a modern US institution might look like.

This is hearsay but I remember seeing something about Glimmer's VA being confused if Glimmer and Bow were dating during a script read leading to Glimbow happening, which could be why it feels a little more last minute than other ships.

It's not hearsay. Noelle's spoken about it. The line was written ambiguously--even to her--and when it came time to do the recording session Glimmer's VA asked how she was supposed to read it, since a line intended to have that much emotion can't really be done ambiguously. Noelle told her to go romantic.

if Scorpia and Perfuma have a child, does that mean she'll be responsible for electrical plants?

I had kind of assumed they'd had a relationship, but that it was effectively finished after Catra chose to destroy reality out of spite. I admit I was surprised to see it come back.

This was my feel of it. The first three seasons spent a lot of time emphasizing just how thoroughly Catra had burned that bridge with her need to show up and abuse Adora at every turn, and then how much she'd burnt all the other ones in her life after it.

Adora didn't "stop paying attention to" Catra. She left the Horde because the Horde sucks. Adora even asked Catra to go with her but Catra refused. Adora absolutely hated leaving Catra behind but she was thinking of the bigger picture and Catra was only thinking about herself.

Yeah, the last season trying to insert this whole idea that Adora doesn't stay because she left an abusive situation to do something decent with her life, and that Adora takes on too much when she's spent the entire series relying on all of her friends in the Princess Alliance, fell pretty drat flat to me. "For once please stay" is a ridiculous request because the only real time she didn't was when she abandoned the Horde, and when she did that she tried to bring Catra with her. And by the time Catra is saying this, she should probably have realized that would've been the better choice.

Given the state of the world, it was immensely cathartic to hear Catra give the old 'you hurt my feelings so it's your fault I'm a Nazi now!' and see her given the appropriate rebuttal.

The force behind and the finality present in that moment (Adora is denying Catra's constant physical and emotional abuse at the literal end of the world) is part of what made the last season so odd to me.

Skeletor had better NYA in this. That poo poo is non-negotiable. You bill yourself as a direct continuation of the old series, you get that jaundiced calcium-faced motherfucker to go NYA.

To be fair, there’s still plenty of time for them to throw one in (and if not there’s still another He-Man series in the pipe later on)

I forget, did he ever say “nya” in the 2002 series either?

I don't think he did, and that's why I didn't watch it.

Thank you for sparing me the heartbreak and disappointment of waiting for this through the series.
