THESE LINES
That looks like a fuse to you?

Electrical wires burning, causing a giant stone fortress to explode? Hmm…

Then why do you think they would carry fire along them?

idk say so. their broke into a coven they knew didn’t trust them and then Sol stabbed the leader. “oh she was turning into a smoke monster” That’s a great point if they hadn’t already broken into their home with no justification.
The Mom I thjnj was trying to transport her and Mae out of that situation. Not her job to warn the home invaders what that might look like.
Sol and Torbin were like Florida Child Services breaking into a house in canada with no court order and stabbing a parent.
Then the rest of the family died in the very reasonable violent aftermath.
They should feel guilty.

I think you're dead on with your analogy. And that is perfectly illustrative of the problem.

I get why people have an issue with the characterization of the Order in the show.
I think it is fair to say you just don’t like the jedi not being 100% noble or moral.
I like Jedi but always found the order itself just a mess.
But this is supposed to be the Jedi’s at the peak of their power and who is at their best morally at their peak?

Nothing suicide worthy. Just a mission gone cross-eyed due to Jedi incompetence.

That may be true. I’d argue that the audience having no clue what she was doing made it less than stellar writing. At the very least it was stupid of her; if the Jedi are really like home invaders as in your analogy ( just pause for a second and realize how bad that is from a SW story perspective), then this was the equivalent of lunging at the person holding a gun on you.
This was the second flashback episode to 5he same events, but it is still unclear what happened. I’ll grant you that Sol should feel bad, but Tommen’s arc is really weak. He may have impetuously gone off to get the girls, but Sol leads him in. Sol does the stabby stabby, Trinity kills the other witches and leads the cover up.

For me it has nothing to do with being noble or moral. The Jedi will and have always done what they believe is in the best interest of the universe. Those actions can always be questioned.
The issue for me though is these Jedi are full of emotion and conflict. Something that until now we have never seen on a large scale.

Best morally again I disagree with. But at their peak they believe what they are doing is justified and have the authority to do it in the best interest of all. They were not known to struggle with their decisions. It was not really until Anakin that their actions from within were questioned.
The order was a mess because of their arrogance not their doubt. Their arrogance blinded them to the Sith but until this show there was never really doubt in their resolve moral or not.

Does anyone care with this last episode or some stupid ending they gonna try and spin
Posted on 7/14/24 at 9:47 am to TideWarrior
Yeah I mean every jedi we’ve focused on has had issues
Qui-gon and Obi-wan ignore everyone’s better judgement because of their attachments to Anakin.
Anakin has all sorts of issues.
Luke shows attachment to his friends and runs off to fight vader. but I dont think that counts because he wasn’t raised in the order.

Somehow in show logic that fire started an electrical current that sent a charge to the thing that blew up. They show sparks traveling the same area as the fire.
Also maybe one of those lines is a something akin to a flammable fuel line that caught on fire and carried fire throughout the facility. A mining facility could need some kind of fuel.
I don't know why you keep asking what would happen if you lit a light socket on fire in real life. What would happen if you gathered a circle of witches and started chanting the power of one, the power of many and held your hand up to a childs head in real life?

Power decreases the farther down the line it travels, so you would not see greater impact (explosive release) than what you see at the source of the issue (light sparking). Because even conducting materials like wires have resistance. That is why circuits require things like transformers and caps to maintain voltage levels across distance.
You know what? this is my last post to you on the matter. It seems telling you facts is fruitless, as you will bend them or ignore them to "not lose" the point. It is a level of dishonesty I will not tolerate or entertain further.
I am beginning to think that educating you is like trying to explain to a Biden supporter that prosecuting and assassinating political opponents is more of a threat to democracy than a protest at the capital.

Attachment to him, or firm belief that he was the prophesied chosen one? There’s a difference.

Then they will make allusions to Plagueis or Bane, trying to hype you for a 2nd season,
We know Femboi is going to live, because Headband said she moved up some of his planned 2nd season shirtlessness, because women on set got moist.
