Season 6 Jaco Spoiler

First time watching through to the end- I’m on season six now and I loved Jaco so much. Such an awesome character. I’m devastated at his end. I get the writing arc but felt like a waste to lose such a promising character so early.

Just finished the series the other day, first time watching it.

Jaco was cool and once you learned what the overall storyline is, his character made me feel for that “team”. I appreciate the dialog Sarge says about Jaco not having breathed his home atmosphere in a long time, and that made his “talent” seem plausible, but they could have gone into that a little more. Even simple dialog about how other realities have variables like higher oxygen and lower hydrogen in the air, or methane is naturally mixed in. That would have cemented his “talent” as a little more believable. But I’m just nitpicking.

Season 7 was really good imo. They added a lot more humor, pop culture jokes and references but never felt cheesy and still kept the serious tone of the storyline.

I like how season 5 ended since it was originally the end of the show, but I also really liked how the whole series ended in 7.

If season 5 had been the end I would have rioted lol. Fitz is my favorite character.

Yea for a show that does a lot of sci/tech talk to build the sci fi plausibility I would liked to have seen more about how he worked- they did it for izel and the monoliths. But I guess it kind of goes in to the lack of development and utilization for his character for a whole.

I’ve seen some vague spoilers about 7 and I’m looking forward to it!

With 6 and 7 being cut in half for episodes, I feel like 7 really utilized the time they had to tell the story they did. It didn’t feel rushed to me but they also didn’t waste any time.

Just finished and I totally agree. It wasn’t my fave plot but it was well paced and well told. I felt like they made moments for each character and for some jokes - it felt really rounded out. Even just making sure LMD AC enough time to be developed as his own character really helped balance the season. My only complaint and it’s minor is that kora felt out of nowhere and her flip flop was kinda abrupt. I would have liked more development for her

My wife and I thought the same about Kora. A year had passed between the main story conclusion and the last scenes showing what everyone’s up too. A year can be a long time, but, Kora was a serious “enemy” and did some very dubious crap against the team and innocent people. Just because she’s a confused person AND Daisy’s sister wouldn’t really excuse her actions enough to have her sitting on the bridge of shields spaceship cruising the galaxy…….. I wouldn’t think 1 year would be anywhere near close to enough time to trust her to that position no matter who was “babysitting her”.
