Dragon Prince Season 6

[psocoptera]

I watched another season of this show, mostly because family members were interested. I apparently never even wrote anything about season 5. It actually feels impressive to me how much they're failing to land their plot beats? Like, *baffling* choices about what they showed in flashbacks vs just referred to in narration, like the kind of choices that seem like they must be explained by the animators going on strike or someone moving a deadline abruptly. And really poor use of the previouslys, like, apparently going by the wiki there were some scenes back in season 1 or 3 that would have helped give a little context to some things in this season that otherwise seemed completely out of nowhere, but they decided to only use the previouslys to review things from the immediately previous episodes you just saw instead of the stuff that you haven't thought about since 2019. Anyways, exactly one thing happened that I thought was neat, which was not enough. And *why* do a whole extended riff about how, haha, the ship was frozen and not going anywhere and people thought it was going to but it wasn't, give up already, and then make a big deal of the shippy plotline? Irony? Or were they trying to build suspense or something? I guess I just don't get their thinking at all.
