I can (sort of) see why the low-raters went Medieval on "Solo", but I disagree with them. The acting performances were really good, and that alone should have raised their ratings out of the two and three range.
What I thought was great was the attention to detail that Alden Ehrenreich brought to the role. His mannerisms and even voice were spot on and really reminded me of a young Harrison Ford. (How are they going to work in the under-lip scar?)
The Emilia Clarke character was complex despite the holes in her back-story. Perhaps the details are coming in her back story (to the back story)?
Yes, the whole almost-drag-us-back-into-some-sort-of-black-hole scenario was ridiculous, but I forgave it because it "explained" the "Kessel run in under 12 parsecs" back story, and the "rounded down" quip was great.
Thanks Ron Howard for the attention to detail and I can't wait for the (no doubt) Solo sequel. Bring on the back-story with Jabba the Hutt!

This episode is a brave episode because it succeeds against the paradigm of every other sitcom episode in the history of television. Richard Wilson (via the writers) carries off the episode by himself ... which is the brave bit.
The episode won't be to everyone's taste, but it must be seen in relation to the other episodes in the series. The agony that is Victor Meldrew's character is clearly on display, but the number of events he needs to navigate wins the day. I especially like the scene where he tries to solve the cryptic crossword (haven't we all been there?).
To other television episode writers: perhaps think about how an episode like this can succeed before adding other characters and events?
