The god will also turn his attention to the curious Cleo (Omono Okojie) attempting to gain some knowledge of what the god plans only to set a series of events in motion in which one cast member will exit the show a couple of weeks before the finale.

Star Trek: Picard – The Star Gazer

Despite his enjoyment in the stars last season, Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has returned home to his vineyard and awkward relationships. But not to fret, a new menace (which just coincidentally involves several of the characters from last season) has happened deep in space and Starfleet pulls the admiral back into action once more. “The Star Gazer” is mostly set-up, focusing on Picard’s life back on Earth and teasing just what the threat may be. The reveal turns out to be something as a red herring as the characters aren’t going to fight what come through the hole in space but instead the new lives in which they find themselves trapped in an alternate timeline far different than they remember.

Obi-Wan Kenobi – Part II

  • wiki: link

In a twist from the Jedi looking after one twin to instead go save the other, “Part II” begins Obi-Wan‘s (Ewan McGregor) mission to save young Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from her kidnappers. The second episode of the series hits some highs and lows before settling on the big reveal where Obi-Wan discovers his former apprentice is still alive. Before that we’ll get some random alien market backdrop, Kumail Nanjiani having some fun as a fake Jedi (yes, he’s fun, but can we agree he would been killed in three-seconds or less by any competent Inquisitor?), and several supposedly smart characters continuing to make bonehead decisions against their own self-interest. Oh, and we get the dumbest smart kid ever introduced to the Star Wars universe who continues to make her rescue far more difficult than it needs to be. I know they are working from a basic formula at this point, but not every Star Wars property needs a cute kid.
