What is up with Dutch and this STUPID ass face he makes

I HATE IT

Hosea: *hears gunshots and shouting*

Hosea, under his breath: Not my circus, not my monkeys, not my circus, not my monkeys, not my --

Hosea: *realizes it's Arthur and John fighting the law*

Hosea, turning his horse around: My circus, my monkeys! My circus, my monkeys!

At the end of the day, killing off a character for a gut punch only works if you actually follow through emotionally, and S3 of TBB just didn't do that. I get it if other people think it did, but I won't ever be able to agree with that. We see no one find out. There's no memorial for Tech on Pabu or anywhere else, there's barely any mention of his impact on people. Nearly every mention of him was about how his skills were absent. It was a bad narrative beat of which no real use was even made except to focus on how it made things harder for them to do.

S3 remains a true disappointment to me, and I'm unlikely to ever be especially interested in it and its one billion dropped plot threads or the way Phee was tossed aside in favor of Ventress and how Tech's death wasn't engaged with in any meaningful way.

Will they ever walk it back and return him? I guess we'll see. It's happened before. (Echo, Gregor, Ahsoka, etc.) I have vague hope.
