Might be a good time to get some predictions and metas out, before episode 5 is here
StarWars TheAcolyte

(Possible spoilers below)

For those who don't know, each episode gets stylistic inspiration from a different film/ genre, according to showrunner Leslye Headland, and there may be an Alien episode and a Predator episode

So there's a possibility episode 5 will be the predator episode,
which will be cool spectacle wise

Narrative wise I look forward to how that action set piece will contribute to the story, or what kind of turn the story will take.

Second prediction, maybe a hotter take than the last:

SW fans love them "Dark Father" trivia, at least jokingly

This time though, Leslye might have written that into the theme/ narrative, and I say that holding my SolPatrol flag

-

After first viewing, it felt "less Predator" than expected, but that may just be the surface elements

If we dissect the tropes and themes present in this ep. a few parallels can be found
(and it's not a detriment if that was not the case anyways)

As to the Dark Father thing...let's just say I'm looking very forward to the next episodes lol
