I really disliked it because Jax is insufferable and the episode being fully focused on him only made him more so. The reduced pomni to coddling an abuser while giving him a lackluster backstory. Everybody else got sidelined and the lore just got practically ignored. Huge disappointment to me.

I don’t think the lore dump was necessarily bad. But I think that stories should try to not meander. I’ll edit my comment in a sec I just wanna test spoiler flagging ::: SPOILER test :::

While it was still an okay end for me, your points are also what I didn’t like about it. While I appreciate the internal look into the psyche of why somebody can become such an asshole, he was getting off too lightly in my opinion. His opening up to ribbit was well acted, I liked the portrayal of that.

She wasn’t “coddling an abuser.” Jax was complicated. He was scared and lashed out all the time. That makes him an asshole, sure, but there is a reason his abstraction was a tragedy.
