I am realizing now that another reason this line hit so hard was that, on top of Syril only realizing now that Cassian does not think about him, doesn't even know who he is, is that I myself as the viewer was also only realizing now that Cassian does not think about Syril, nor even know who he is.

This whole series as the viewer we are cutting back and forth between their tangled storylines, you watch Syril obsess over Cassian, but I didn't realize that you must never see a scene of Cassian thinking about Syril. It kind of thrills me, for my next rewatch, to clock that.

over the last year, you may have seen me posting links to the first few episodes of a tv series i've written called "mcginnis". it is a live-action spin-off series from Batman Beyond, starting where "Epilogue" leaves off, but quickly becoming a time travel romp that covers the 20 years between Bruce hanging up the cowl, and Terry picking it up: 2019-2039.

it so happens that Episode 2: "Cortado" takes place on today's exact date - April 26, 2026. i wrote this episode two years ago.

so, i am sharing Episode 1 + 2 again today

i hope you enjoy,
