I just found it hilarious that For me, I wanna see a flashback to the moment Rex left the 501st or what he was doing during Order 66.

Just got back from watching it. DAMN YOU DISNEY, Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, or maybe it's because I have kids of my own (including a son who is full-bore in his dinosaur-obsessed phase), but I enjoyed this movie. My wife sensed that it was more targeted towards boys with its "becoming a man" themes. You'll definitely catch bits and story beats that you've probably seen in other Disney/Pixar films. But there are a few heart-tugging moments too.

Freakin' Ezra! I really enjoyed this week's episode (Stealth Strike). And I think we finally got a retconned reason as to why the Stormies are such horrible shots.

Your loss, bub. Kilgrave's a royal a-hole of a villain though.
-
I'm just three episodes in. . . you'll definitely get more of that SEX SELLS vibe in the next few episodes, Dobber. But given the characters and the on-going story, I get why it's there. Been enjoying the story so far. Not your typical super-hero story, but it's clear to see why Marvel selected this for a live-action adaptation.

And "You do know which one is the forward slash, right?"

^^Stop what you're doing, and watch it now. It's that damn good!

No Corellian bloodstripes on them trousers? -
^^It was okay. The one thing you gotta give credit to Agents of SHIELD for, though, is they don't drag storylines out.
-
Still follow the show, but not sure about the Lash reveal. With SHIELD's usually fast-paced storylines, I'm pretty sure we'll get some backstory and understanding of Lash's motivations sooner rather than later. Poor Fitz though, dude needs to get laid after all the boss things he's done already this season.

And still we wait for an updated TV-STYLE SDF-1. smh

Nah, this one has a logical story that emphasizes characters over insane plot ideas.

Psycho was an "Enemy Robot Show Car," NOT a space car. I've got the box right here to prove it. -

Any news or updates about these? Or has it become vaporware? -
I miss seeing these FP killmarks: I rarely display her sporting the standard FAST Pack set-up.

^^Guess ScarJo's got competition for MCU's "dat ass" trophy. In any case, latest trailer: Yeah, I'm getting hyped for the series!

98 percent of Mandalorians are only good at getting killed.

You're thinking of ST: Nemesis. The first really sucky even numbered film. Insurrection was the one that felt like a regular TV episode of the week. That was the one with the peace-loving aliens vs the stretch-faced aliens, horrible jokes at Worf's expense, and a joystick controller for the Enterprise. Back on topic, in any case, I'd rather watch Vader whupping ass again In Rebels Season 2 premiere.

^^meaning the articulation will be severely limited, and the paint apps will stink. After tonight's episode, Like Teddy KGB in Rounders, I feel so unsatisfied.

Been on a bit of a BSG trip at work lately: FINAL BOSS BATTLE MUSIC!!

Of course, there's absolutely no way to get any of those Poe figures to do anything like that pose hanging off the X-Wing. Regarding Hasbro and Disney's actions, Hasbro's been screwing up its toylines long before the Mouse came along. Look back to the past five years, and you'll see complaints about distribution, inability to find figures in the stores, absolutely mind-boggling decisions on case assortments (which figures to pack--and worse, re-pack--with each wave), a decision to over-produce figures in support of the Phantom Menance's 3D release , fewer accessories included with the figures, and missed opportunities galore to have figures released in support of media, cartoons, and video games (later season Clone War figures, figures for the main heroes in Rebels, Satele Shan or any other Jedi from Star Wars: The Old Republic). The cracks really started to show with the distribution of the Vintage line, but probably started even earlier than that.
-
^^Yes and no. Considering that these are labeled "exclusives," Hasbro and/or Walmart will jack up the price on these even more than usual. Considering the lack of accessories, the not-so-great face-sculpts, and the Russian-roulette you'd deal with in terms of paint apps quality, I guess you would be paying for the fancy looking box? Besides, I don't think I saw Captain Phasma's name in that super-articulated list.

As I've said before, there's definitely a few scenes or episodes early on that may push the wrong buttons with some folks. But the show is so well done. This isn't some hackneyed, derivative, lowest common denominator show. Or one where the more you think about it, the bigger the plot holes become. In fact, I've actually re-watched older eps to pick up on things that I didn't catch on the first viewing. It's good enough to hold up to repeated viewings. And the story's been building upon itself and adding a great deal of depth to its characters. I wish I could say more, but I don't want to spoil the series for anyone.

Just finished watching the season finale of Mr. Robot. This has been simply the best rookie season I have seen for a TV series since the Ron Moore Battlestar Galactica. Even though there's a number of dangling threads to carry forward into Season 2, I have no idea what's in store for next season. And believe me, that's a good thing. The influences from certain movies are there to be found. But regardless, damn, it's been one hell of an impressive experience.
