I agree with you on pretty much everything, to a T. I replied to an earlier comment about the pacing and noted that I think I went into it with pacing bias since my wife told me it was slow in parts. Again, I don’t think by any measure it was awful - just kinda similar to the slow parts in 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Completely agree about the relevance of Joe. Like he felt somewhat insignificant to me… Regarding Cal, I align with you exactly. I initially disliked him and liked aaron then completely swapped. Kathy was also excellent.
