Never thought that letting an episode run longer in streaming would be viewed as a negative.
I wouldn’t have cut anything.
I agree. I’m usually the first to complain when it’s obvious a show/movie needed an editor to cut unnecessary filler but this this episode used its time well IMO.
I don’t think their issue was the length per se. Rather, if you cut it shorter, you quicken the pacing and remove the parts of the story that didn’t need to be there. At least that’s how I interpret it when someone says runtime could be tightened up.
What didn’t need to be there though? Very few scenes were wasted, the all gave us something, be it exposition or character work.
