天下制覇

This needs to air later if I’m going to get aggressively sarcastic about it.

Impressions:

Good god. Did they really just spend an entire episode angsting on over the funeral for a character who had done literally nothing in the show and I’m not sure I could say with certainty that any of the main characters even had a single interaction with? Let alone a meaningful one? Can I just leave it at that? Because this was easily the worst episode of the show to date. Dull, dull, dull, boring, dull, uneventful, boring, dull. Absolutely nothing happened unless you count a couple other ultra-tertiary characters with zero point standing slightly further away on a different ship now. I have a hard time counting that because they could just not show up period anyway because they’re too busy being utterly irrelevant to the lack-of-a-plot anyway.

Not even pretend-happened like them arguing over pseudo-alien marine life before deciding to continue doing absolutely nothing. Ye lords, they didn’t even go with the obvious, obvious chance to let Ledo commit some kind of massive social faux pas by doing something like asking why they aren’t cooking and eating him with some of that magical BBQ sauce that he got molested by men to obtain. He’s a soldier. People die all the time. You can’t spend an entire goddamned day pissing about every time someone does.
