    Bump. Another good episode.

    She'd eat Baby Yoda. And Carl Weathers spent way too much time on his character this episode. Sorry, we aren't emotionally invested in him.

    He's a bad-ass, but life is tough out on the (Outer) Rim.

    TNG had a great leading man, a mediocre to good backing cast, the limited special effects of the time, and the even more limited constraints of 22-episode seasons with episodic writing. The influence of Wesley from season 1 never quite wore off so that later, more adult-themed episodes seemed incongruous rather than an organic development. IOW, it could never fully escape being a kid show. Would love to see a reboot, though it would be hard to replace Stewart.

    The Last Airbender is a kids show. It's also probably the best animated series of the early 2000s.

    I tried to watch Brotherhood years ago, but I'd just finished binging Fullmetal Alchemist and it couldn't maintain my interest even one ep in. Should I give it another chance?

    In the last five or ten years, the only animes I've watched and can remember the names are stuff like Psycho-Pass, Black Butler, Blue Exorcist, and the Seven Deadly Sins. I also watched the fan-dub end of Dragon Ball Super on YouTube a couple of years ago. And, of course, One Punch Man. No accounting for taste or qualify.

    Slower-than-light travel points to travel to the Unknown Regions. It was a plot point in Rebels. Sabine + Ahsoka + the child also point to the Unknown Regions.

    Saru is Spock/Data/Odo/7. He's trying to find his way in a fallen human world while upholding the dignity of the Federation.

    It doesn't advance the plot? 1. Mando is a wanted criminal to both the Imperial remnants and to the New Republic, even if his actions are understandable to the Republic. 2. Sublight travel exists and is used for purposes other than the hyperdrive being down. Probably a Rebels tie-in. 3. The New Republic isn't the Federation. They stopped to help, but left fixing the ship to Mando. And filler? This is an hour of the Child and fangirl squeeing. Shit, we saw that upthread: "Eat that egg, you little green bastard. Yeah. Yeah." Sploosh.

    The writers are still too episodic.This isn't the Brady Bunch. Characters conflicts can extend over more than one episode.

    When I got the mail today, there was a letter from UT for my son. They asked him to apply because the deadline for early decision or whatever is November 1st. (If he'd stayed in high school for four years he probably would have applied, because he has the grades, scores, and class rank, but he's trying to stay local because of his age.) Just a bit surprised at the last minute push by UT admissions.

    Another good, but not great ep.

    A demo version of Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity was released.

    I think they're over their sophomore slump.
  17. Apep
    There's supposed to be 13 episodes. No matter what happens, it can't take that many episodes.
  18. Apep
    Well...
  19. Apep
    Maybe.

    Dexter

    Apep replied to RPM's topic in Movies and TV

    They did that with her character, Darla, on Buffy/Angel. Might seem derivative.
  21. Apep
    No. Some may see the end as cheesy, but it got dusty.
  22. Apep
    It wasn't vintage, but it was consistently funny throughout most of the episode.
  23. Apep
    The beginning and the end were very good. The middle was good, nothing bad, just expected exposition.
  24. Apep
    It definitely finished a much better show than it started, somewhat similar to the arc of the Orville in season 1. Unfortunately, where the Orville became TNG with the occasional gag, LD remains too zany to truly be Trek. I suppose irreverence is better than full-on SJW, so we should count our blessings.

    They aren't just reps. They're navigators.
