The Captain

LMAO it has a low rating because "no one wants to know Beck's thoughts and feelings"? And that's on misogyny. Just shows that the watchers just see her as am object with no thoughts and feelings.

This episode takes a slower, more character-focused turn, and I kind of liked that. Beck heads to a Dickens festival to meet up with her dad - aka "The Captain" - and surprise, surprise, Joe just can't help but follow her. Classic Joe. What's interesting is we see a side of Beck she hasn't shown before. Turns out she lied about her dad being dead; he's alive, sober, and living his best life with a new family. It makes her character more complicated and a little less innocent than she's been coming across. Joe is doing what Joe does best - creeping around, convincing himself he's "protecting" Beck when he's just feeding his obsession. And that festival setting? Perfect backdrop for all the role-playing and secrets going on in this episode. Peach is also starting to clock Joe's weirdness, which I loved because you can feel the tension building there. The episode is slower than the first few, and Joe's inner monologue gets a bit repetitive, but the character work here is solid. Overall? I'd give it a 9/10. Not the most thrilling episode, but it's important for the story and gives us some juicy character depth. Plus, it sets the stage for some big drama coming up.

So the monologue wire is out in the series and now Beck is the new victim. But this virus is a good entertainment for viewers😁😁.

After a great start, this episode is a big let down. Her thoughts makes Joe less interesting, it is a mistake.

I will continue watching the series, because I know it gets better, but man, what were the writers thinking with this one....

This episode picks up right from where the last left off after Joe has a disastrous performance with Beck and shows the two's inner monologue following what happened.

A major, extremely unexpected secret of Beck's is uncovered by Joe when she goes on a weekend trip with someone who seems to be a romantic rival to Joe.

Peach's suspicions of Joe rise regarding the Ozma of Oz book and begins to doubt Joe's competence even more than she already did.

This episode offers a fascinating insight into Beck's character and gives her an inner monologue that (like Joe's) advances the scenes in which it is used.

The story episode also puts Joe in some intense situations (eg. The scene at the Dickens Festival and The Apartment).

Overall this episode was great (like the last three) and really leans into Beck's character as a whole.
