A house divided is the Best Trollhunters episode , no doubt
I just found out this subreddit exists, and as a fan of the series since literally 2016, I have to say that "A House Divided" is without a doubt the best episode not just of this series, but of many series in general. I feel that what makes this episode so special aside from the obvious is the fact that Morgana is already free the debate Merlin and the other Trollhunters were having about to let Gunmar release the witch no longer matters. Then there’s the reality check both we as viewers and Jim receive: the undeniable fact that he wasn't ready for Gunmar. If a magic-less Merlin could easily defeat him, Gunmar and Rot certainly wouldn't show him any mercy the only choice to have a chance against both was become Jim a half troll. And the best scene of the entire series better than Gunmar’s death or Angor’s redemption is what I call the suicide of Jim Lake Jr. Because that’s exactly what it is, folks: from my perspective, it’s a suicide. I’ve always viewed the scene that way Jim recalling all his moments as the Trollhunter, knowing he was about to kill a part of himself and sacrifice everything to finish off the Gumm-Gumms. And the worst part is watching Toby, Claire, Strickler, and his own mother begging him not to do it. It’s terrifying to think about it from that angle Jim stepping into that bathtub, ending the episode with the greatest sense of uncertainty the series ever left me with, back when it premiered in Part 3 in 2018. It’s the best episode my favorite, and without a doubt the saddest one in the entire series. I mean, damn, they took a show suitable for all audiences and portrayed suicide in such a stunning way. Plus, considering its importance to the lore this episode marks the series' encore with the next episode that is top 10 too but this is only peak. Absolute cinema. 10/10.
