  1. Looks like they might still have the Ghibli magic. Hopefully it is as good as the animation looks.
  2. Direct to Amazon? Another bad sign. That and making me think of "Leanord: Part 6" is a bad omen. But being on Amazon I can watch it without paying anything extra.
  3. Sometime they do the smart thing but whenever lazy writing requires - they don't. REALLY lazy (like this episode of The Acolyte) they don't even try to explain away why they do not try to report in. Anything from ship stuck and bad guy has parts to a storm makes it impossible for a while would do.
  4. Crow T Robot predicted the future when he said Christmas movies should have an action sequence...
  5. Strangely enough I recently started reading the early BT books again. Then again I waited till they were available on Kindle to start reading them again. My old paperbacks are long gone - probably three houses ago.
  6. A decent ending, not great but very good. With enough unanswered threads (plenty actually) to fuel a big mystery for a few more seasons to come.
  7. That is the entire problem. Disney has more yawn then Must See TV with Star Wars. These are not cheap shows to make so they need to make something that will draw more eyeballs to D+ and bring them back to the movies in theaters. With the first season of Mandalorian they were doing that but not really since then.
  8. That is the other problem for this, when SB came out SW was a hot property. Making a parody of something that has been parodying itself is a losing proposition. If the main character of SB was Baby Yogurt though...
  9. I doubt it. We can't have Bill, John or Joan in this movie, Rick is almost certainly not going to show either. So they are banking on the nostalgia of the name and the last time Mel tried that was a dumpster fire.
  10. That is what I was going to say. DC, yup they tried to be gritty and fell on their face. MCU for the most part (even Loki in the end) was mostly good folks doing good things for the good of all.
  11. It just is. If I did not have Disney+ anyway I would not be watching the show, but since I do have D+ I am watching it. If it were not for Doctor Who (which has been great overall) I would probably have dropped D+
  12. Excellent episode, really looking forward to the last one of the season. I've heard that viewership is not what was planned. I hope that does not stop production on another season. Finally, I forgot most of the callback this one has, I only just started remembering the original when I started typing this.
  13. Yup. You can trust them to purposely bring children into a war zone, heck to even be commanders in that war. Anyway, the main sin of this show is that it is boring. Other stuff is forgivable if the characters were at all interesting, but they are not.
  14. Mae's wishes are irrelevant (Osha's too) since they are minors their parents are the ones that should make that decision. The witches living outside of the jurisdiction of the Republic should not be under any of the Republic's laws or enforcement by any agents of the Republic. That "outlawed" religion is only outlawed in the Republic. But that is another trademark of an "evil" organization, selective enforcement of their rules outside of their jurisdiction. I mean slavery is not considered worth stamping out outside the borders of the Republic.
  15. To be fair to the witches in this show. They were absolutely spot on 100% correct to think the Jedi were going to take the kids away. The Jedi habit of taking kids from their legal guardians makes them the evil ones. It should not matter what the kids think about it, there is a reason we have age of consent laws or customs across the entire world. What I really want to know is what kind of stone they used to build their fortress, every last witch except the two kids died from a fire in a stone building?
  16. Maybe - the good stuff, otherwise known as The Mandalorian, gets turned into movies. The other stuff stays on D+ along with the second (and last season) of Andor which is also good stuff but...
  17. Yup - that is probably the best ending of a Doctor Who story ever. And Ncuti Gatwa's emotion at the end is incredibly well done.
  18. I'd be surprised if the events of 73 don't feature heavily in the rest of the upcoming season. Sort of like Bad Wolf did (but more in your face) to the first season/series. The boogey monster being actual boogies was great fun but yeah the episode itself fell flat.
  19. There will eventually be another Mad Max movie, no need to worry about that. Hollywood (currently) can't stay away from a franchise for long.
  20. One of the good parts of The Clone Wars TV series is that you got to see the more human side of Ben Kenobi. He obviously has a thing for that senator lady but can't/won't let it go anywhere. Jedi could be like Spock (in a good story/episode) but the writing rarely gets past the outside stoicism or when it tries it falls flat (like Luke in the sequel debacle)
