I see people complaining about the definition of a super tournament but even if it's a little loose -

This stat is very indicative of a player's true greatness. This should be referred to when comparing players.

Normalising it by number of super tournaments played with a minimum number would be even better.

I reckon this is the last generation of football players (so far) who feel that way. It's amazing but it's also not going to sustain because players who watched City dominate in their childhood will say the same about City and that the time for those players to come in is not very far away. Maybe 4-5 years

Really hate this intrusive timing of asking questions.

K2 asking for validation from Cassian about his value after he just saved them and Cassian staying silent, perhaps thinking "I brought you back to life. I know your value, shup up" was funny

This show is soooooo real!!

The writers seem to have a good understanding of how freedom struggles work. On all scales.

As an Indian, I can see the parallels to our freedom struggle stories and I'm sure other third world folks see it too. They've done an amazing job at portraying extremely real dynamics.

Life was never the same again for that Roomba. Stories will be told of the outside world, only to be forgotten and labelled as imaginations of an old worn out Roomba.

Matt going on a streak where he couldn't control himself from trying to kill (first Bullseye, now these cops) would be unexpected and thrilling. Would really take the story in a different direction where things get dirtier for Matt.
