    It was a red herring. Great season finale.

    Really enjoyed most of the Discworld series, until it got so utterly formulaic at the end. This looks promising, even though collapsing the entirety of the Watch books into a television series will grate on me as a book fan. Discworld deserves an MCU.

    Call Me Kat

    After watching the trailer, I knew my wife would want to watch this show. We did. Neither of us could believe how much it sucked.

    My sincere condolences. You and yours will be in my prayers.

    It's good, but the deus ex machina was so blatant that it makes me wonder if it's a red herring.

    She's not bad for 38, but couldn't he do better?

    That already happened. I feel like it happened between CW and Rebels, just based on her character change and the white light sabers, but, on screen, I can point only to Ezra manipulating time to save her from dying at the end of Twilight of the Apprentice.

    These last two episodes were underwhelming. No need for a two-parter because it was obvious how it would go even if the ending was in doubt.

    While sublight may become important later on, it looks like the New Republic pilots having a role in the final ep would be a more likely plot point. I've moved from looking for a Seven Samurai episode to a Tombstone "And hell is coming with me" showdown involving the Republic sweeping in to battle the Imperials.

    Except for the Black Hole, it's hard to imagine calling any Disney movie obscure. But time obscures a great many things. I was born in 1979 and I'm not a huge movie buff. How many non-obscure movies from the 1970s can I name? Star Wars, Jaws, the Godfather I & II, Apocalypse Now, Blazing Saddles, China Town, Taxi Driver, Network, um... and then a bunch of movies that might have been in the late '60s, the '70s, or the early '80s. Then, after thinking about it, I might remember Dirty Harry, Death Wish, Shaft, the Poseidon Adventure, Kramer vs. Kramer, and others along those lines. When we say "obscure", do we mean stuff like Werner Herzog's student documentary on the Frilly Lizard Monkeys of Suburban Buenos Aires or movies that time forgot?

    Part of it is that, post-eps VII-IX, SW fans have battered spouse syndrome. Another part is that it is a great space western, like ST:TOS and Firefly. Only the final part involves the hardcore SW fans and the incredible level of fan service from the show.

    The problem with ET explanations for anything is that, at this point, it will come off as an Ozymandias-style plot. (Like in the Watchmen movie, graphic novel, or tv show.)

    I disagree with the need to watch the entirety of season 7. You could probably take a handful of Ahsoka eps throughout the first five seasons and the final four eps from s7 and get emotionally invested enough for Rebels to hit you in the feels.

    My grandmother went to the hospital on Thursday for low O2. She'd just started chemo three weeks ago for the leukemia she's had off-and-on for at least the last 25 years, so they figured that was the cause. By Friday, she tested positive. Yesterday she asked to be taken off meds and O2. Now we wait for the inevitable.

    Baby Jabba was pretty fucking cute. If someone thinks Ziro the Hutt is fabulous, who am I to question?

    Outside of the hidden Jedi possibility I discussed above, (perhaps as a bounty hunter sub for Greef), I don't think we get a new Jedi as part of the seven samurai. I see the below list as the likely team. (Maybe sub Bo-Katan's two mandos for Cara and Greef.) 1. Mando 2. Boba 3. Fennec 4. Cara 5. Mayfeld 6. Greef 7. Bo-Katan I think it is now more likely that we find a Jedi in a Mandalorian vault (for imprisoning Jedis, e.g. the one used on Maul in Clone Wars) on Moff Gideon's ship. I don't think it will be Ezra because I read somewhere about some possible canon where Sabine was still looking for him a couple of years later.

    If there is a Jedi, I'd expect a Kanan Jarrus type introduction. That is, he or she will have an assumed name and use a blaster, pulling the light saber out at the last minute.

    Great ep. great directing job by Robert Rodriguez. Not a wasted moment and it clears up so much.

    I liked most of the Jar Jar and droid episodes. Jar Jar is funny. They're not as much of a drag as the s7 Ahsoka eps on Coruscant.

    Tilly belongs in the WTF thread.

    What's even more mindblowing is how well the end of CW s7 matches up to ROTS.
  23. Apep
    Finished Rhythm of War just now. It sprawls a bit much. At this point, he might as well release books in 200-page novella form. Keeps things tighter.
  24. Apep
    Given that she wanted to interrogate the Magistrate and that the beskar spear is an odd weapon, (compared to a staff, a light saber, or a blaster), it's no wonder the fight progressed slower than we'd expect given how she fought Maule in CW s7.
  25. Apep
    Great ep.
