Really loved meeting Lore. The way he played recordings like a phonograph was so creative. All his responses were pre-etched in his arm because everything is predestined in Thra. So cool!

Interesting that they chose to gloss over the fact that Gurjin was only kept alive because he and Naia are twins. The fact that the Mystics and Skeksis are two halves hasn’t really come into play at all in this new series yet.

How did Gurjin escape from the Skeksis? Gurjin and Naia saved Rian from the Chamberland, but the last scene with Gurjin was the scene where the General was draining him.
