Note: Episode 5x07, “Erigah,” was released in some regions, presumably by accident, hours ago. If this hasn’t been fixed by now, and you are able to watch “Erigah,” please don’t post spoilers from that episode in this thread. We will create an episode discussion post for that episode once we’re confident it has been properly released globally.
I liked that at no point Burhnam spoke down to the town leader dude by going “actually yes we are gods now open the door I’ll explain later” even though in the short-term it would have been faster.
