  1. 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.
  2. Great ep. great directing job by Robert Rodriguez. Not a wasted moment and it clears up so much.
  3. 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.
  4. What's even more mindblowing is how well the end of CW s7 matches up to ROTS.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. He's a bad-ass, but life is tough out on the (Outer) Rim.
  9. 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.
  10. The Last Airbender is a kids show. It's also probably the best animated series of the early 2000s.
  11. 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?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. The writers are still too episodic.This isn't the Brady Bunch. Characters conflicts can extend over more than one episode.
  17. 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.
  18. Apep replied to Deej's topic in Video Games
    A demo version of Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity was released.
  19. I think they're over their sophomore slump.
