Star City - S1E8 - The Wolves

Hey Bobs! We've reached the end of Star City Season 1 with Episode 8 — "The Wolves" — and what a ride. Donnie landed on a 9.5 and Brian on a 9. After the gut-punch of Episode 6 and the time jump in 7, the finale delivers big payoffs: the shocking truth about who survived Venera, Valya's heartbreaking sacrifice, Sasha and Shadrha's desperate run for the Finnish border, and Belikova's return from orbit. We also get emotional reunions, a clever ruse involving the Chief Designer, and Irina showing a few cracks in her armor. We break down the twists, the character work (especially Sasha's arc and that final Valya scene), our nitpicks on the last 10 minutes, and why this season was such a standout. Plus: our hopes for Season 2 and where the story could go next. Drop your takes at happyvalleyfam@gmail.com — we read every one! See you next week, Bobs!
