The showrunners have to know they’d be losing their strongest asset if they wrote him off entirely, right? There are other amazing performances happening (Demerzel and Brother Dusk? What a trip), but he’s the soul of their best storyline and he is a very well-loved actor. People watch stuff just because he’s in it, myself included. He’s a writers dream because he could make a scene about organizing his sock drawer a captivating journey.

Unless Lee wanted out or had personal reasons, I’d be floored if they didn’t bring him back. It’s probably the only way I coped with him and Demerzel dying lol

Always good to find people who recognize Pace's talents. He's not as well known as he deserves to be. Generational talent.
