    Most of us were ragging on it, when the first trailers came out. But even in Season 1, it came in with a nice mixture of nostalgia, not taking itself too seriously, twisting the story perspectives around, and gave us a main character actually trying and struggling to grow and do right. Eagles don’t get sh*t on!

    I don’t consider myself a prude, but I think me and the wifey were laughing at one of the episodes in particular. Like without all the sex scenes, it would probably cut the series runtime down by at least half. To its credit, the show gave me the phrase, “Pulling a Bridgerton,” to incorporate into “polite” conversation.

    I think you mean Clarissa, Julie’s sister. Julie’s the rebellious sister that got involved with the protomolecule in Seasons 1 and 2. Regarding the belters, I get how some of the very minor characters and political figures can be annoying. But the development and character moments for Ashford and Drummer made me fans of those two.

    Welp, Amos is an ass-kicker who just says whatever is on his mind and doesn’t fear anyone, paying zero heed (or fraks) to their rank or status. I kinda knew going in that watching one ep a week would have a different feel: they got so many characters, and all those characters are spread all over the whole system for this season. Plus, the show tends to end most eps with some sort of cliffhanger or big surprising reveal. Makes the show very conducive to binging, but not so much for a slower weekly experience. If you’re looking for something to fill in that wait, the after-episode show on YouTube isn’t too shabby. It’s okay background filler to have on while you’re working on other tasks.

    Can we just agree that Boba was a complete dumbass in ROTJ? Boba sees a guy flailing around with a laser-sword, and his first inclination is to fight the dude AT CLOSE RANGE. Does no one ever listen to HK-47’s sage advice about defeating a Jedi?! Boba’s got a jetpack. Why not engage from a distance? Toss grenades and other long-range weapons at your opponent? Or aim same said weapons at your opponent’s blind and Wookiee friends? Or blast at the wires holding Lando up? Do things to take advantage of a Jedi’s selfless nature. And before even considering all that, why didn’t Boba just aim at the skiff and FIRE THE BLOODY ROCKET STRAPPED TO HIS BACK? Yeah, others are responsible for him getting bumped into a pit, but Boba’s own lack of strategy put him into bad circumstances.

    Well in Clone Wars, Boba did go after Mace but wound up in jail because of it. Plus, he showed signs of guilt about deceiving the younger clones and some of the clone officers in the process. If Boba does have a hit list for getting tossed in the Sarlacc pit, it’s probably (in order of preference): * Han; * A gunner on Jabba’s sail barge (assuming he survived Luke’s saber-waving barrage on the barge’s deck AND the sail barge blowing up); and * MAYBE Luke. But again, Luke isn’t directly responsible for Boba’s little flight and landing into the pit. It’d be like me getting more pissed at the dude I picked a fight with, rather than his friend who decided to stab me in the back.

    Thanks for the update! Looks like I’ll get to join in the Legioss fun (hopefully) before the end of the month. Paint’s ready to get rid of the hot pink color on Houquet too.

    What would Boba have to worry about though? Luke did destroy Boba’s rifle, but he did tie up Luke and almost shot him in the back in ROTJ. It’s just that a dumbass sail barge gunner and Han’s lucky swipe interrupted their fight. If anything, I think Boba’s smart enough not to pick a fight and just tell Luke, “You owe me a rifle, Jedi.” Especially if he saw the crumpled piles of Darktroopers all across the ship.

    A-A-Ron is probably thanking his lucky stars the teacher has a new focus for his ire.

    Houquet Rouge! #JustSayNoToHotPink

    To think it started with dumb phrases like Sky-Guy and Artooie and had Rex shouting almost every single line in the first “movie” to having this much depth and character development by the end. The show really did grow into something much better and richer.

    Jedi’s? Sith? Nah, roll with the Imperial Knights:

    Looks like Sentinel wants to get some mileage and reuse for that female mold they’re developing for Houquet. Still haven’t seen any payment request from Amazon.jp on the Zeta Legioss yet. Hopefully, Sentinel is still on schedule for that.

    Don't forget you also have my Yamato 1/48 TV VF-1A Max that "yellowed" from bright blue to teal. That box had no clear window in the packaging, so no light could have gotten through. BUT the boxed up TV Max was left up in my attic exposed to tons of massive temperature changes. So, that was probably the biggest factor for the yellowing/tealing.

    I did get a smirk-laugh when Boba said he couldn't volunteer for the Imperial base infiltration, because "They might recognize my face." Dry humor which was appropriate for the scene, is somewhat plausible for the character to say, and a fun little inside joke for Star Wars fans to get.

    What transformations? It seemed like all of them happened off-screen or in the clouds (with the accompanying transformation sound). Yeah, I think I fell asleep through some of the eps. And when did Prime become MMP (Murderous Movie-verse Prime)?

    Okay, just finished the rest.

    So, just ripped through the first five eps. A little cheesebally in parts, but good to see them resolve some issues here and there. Random thoughts:

    Happy New Year! Raising a glass to all you spoony bards!
  23. Mog
    Why not both? If you have to pick one though, I'd be Team Mary Ann. Farmer's daughter; humble; can cook and clean and still look relatively hot?

    Pretty sure Leia "choked a bitc. . . . umm, Hutt" before the Sail Barge went boom. Choking fools that cross her. . . . yup, she's Daddy's little girl!

    It might have something to do with posting the pic onto the Macross World gallery first, and then linking to the gallery pic. Unless it's something Macross related, I personally skip the extra steps and just attach the pictures directly to my post. If you're posting a pic from an iPhone, you usually get the option to select what size you want to upload before it creates a thumbnail/picture for the board. The board still shrinks the eventual pic, but it's one way to futz around with the pic size.
