The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Thom replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
It looks good @pengbuzz -
Star Wars A New Hope was basically a 'cut-and-paste story' from Akira Kurosawa, a Western and others shows, so I don't understand how this is a criticism. You can take several examples of movies from the same genre (and even beyond) and find similar plot points used to help drive the story all over the place. Everyone does it. This is not a valid criticism. Bad acting, bad direction, a story without any nuance or risks, sure those are. A show that is boring that puts the viewer to sleep? Sure. A scene with guy doing a useless spin in the middle of a blaster fight (you know what I mean?) oh hell yeah! But plots points? No.

Cool progress on those birds, @derex3592 @nightmareB4macross Never gets old!

It wasn't bad. Was it perfect? No. And yes, it felt rushed and got a little chopped at the end, but it was not a bad ending. As for Solo-rippoffs, there are any number of movies with the conman-trope.

I'm back! Ugh! But it was good. I was in it right until then, the intensity was there, as well as the feel goods. Whether I liked the very last moments or not, I shall be looking forward to Season 3. Please, Apple, give us a Season 3....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Dang it. Means I was TWENTY when this came out. Fudge! -
It's in the title, man. 'Skeleton Crew Died, Star Wars killed it.' If the guy has a broad view and is not pushing one toxic mind-set, then you don't name it that. He himself is pushing a 'prejudgment' right from the start. Here's a good example of something I might watch, 'Skeleton Crew, Let's Discuss the Good and the Bad.' That shows me that the reviewer isn't a one-sided troll, bent on angst for click-baiting. What he did use, makes me not want to waste a second of my life on his teeny, tiny opinion.

I've gotten into watching this my past few weekends, and I'm really liking it. Yes, it's a kid show, but the subplots under the kid-friendly romps and witty repartee are pretty good. There is a darkness growing, people die, good people make bad decisions and tell themselves they are doing bad things for the greater good - which always works! The episodes are about 30min long so it's quick to get through a season. I just finished Season 3 and am looking forward to 4.

Same here! Don't need someone else's rants in any way. For me, it was a good ending to a good show. Not great, but fun and entertaining, which is the best of the two out of three. The third being making sense, so maybe 2 1/5 out of 3. Overall, very good show. Some niggles, but hardly enough to burn the show to the ground. I do wish it was a bit longer. I felt there was a lot happening, which makes time feel faster, so I wish they had stretched it out a bit more. If I was to rate this, I would give it a B+.
