As someone who has no idea what a Juggler is, I have no idea what is going on here. Like, the rest of the plot is great! It's well-filmed, it's dramatic, and the character stuff if pretty good. Not sure why they even built Windom since it's jobbing hard every episode, but hey, he's cool.

The problem is, we then spend half the episode on a character I feel like I'm supposed to recognise? And it makes me feel like I can't understand the plot without having seen, like, three other seasons. It's the same with the other villain - he pulls out a monster medal, and I feel like I'm just supposed to understand what it is, despite the fact I've never seen it before! And it's not as if they explain what Mr Juggler is, he's just kinda there and I'm supposed to lose my mind. (you know, despite the fact the only speculation I've seen on this board is 'The Chief is Juggler'). If he was a new alien, it would almost make more sense, because then I'd be speculating who he is, rather than thinking I'm already supposed to know? If that makes sense?
