    General Discussion BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003-2008)

    Thanks for the recommended viewing order. It makes sense. I will pitch it to the wife. She started watching BSG S1 a week or so ago. Barely 6+ episodes in. Way before I gave up on the series when (to me) it leapt the shark and became "guess who is a Cylon now". A few people have told me it...

    Disney+ Star Wars: Andor with Diego Luna

    This * 1000. If Disney could forget that Totooine existed for the next 5 years, it would have no negative effects on the SW universe.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) - Season 2

    I think you are reaching hard to justify the break in continuity with the Gorn. They were clearly an unknown race in Arena, yet in season 2 of SNW, they are a persistent threat to the point of attacking a colony and destroying a Star Fleet vessel (unsure class). Uhura's reaction in Arena...

    Reboot of the 1960's The Avengers

    I think if they do anything modern or the same period as the original, it will fail hard. Personally, it could be done if they: 1) Push back to the early 1900s. Prior to WWI 2) Add in steampunk elements. You had the auto and the airplane and other technological developments. You can play...

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    Reacher has always been an antihero, at least from what I have seen (movies and TV).

    A couple notes about the finale.

    As exemplified by his behavior after wreaking justice by his rapid departure.

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    I am 100% with you on this. I think a big part is Ritchson gets less screen time, between the roles for all his (old) team and the flashback scenes dedicated to backstory.

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    I can and have. I think the script was tight. I think it works well. We rewatched both a little while ago. I think all the supporting actors did a great job. The car chase resolution was priceless. As are multiple other scenes, like Cruise and Duvall. Holy Crap! I just checked out the...

    New Star Wars films from Game of Thrones writers

    I agree with you on Obi-wan. But that is because I thought it sucked hard and frequently for working in Anakin/Darth and the writing overall. So it could have been streamlined and worked as a movie (with minor plot trimming). I also think they deliberately made it for a younger audience given...

    New Star Wars films from Game of Thrones writers

    I think the change was the sum of many things: 1) Haphazard management by Kathleen Kennedy, not having the road mapped out and the inanity of letting director's in a series of movies tell divergent stories instead of an integrated arc. Also outright rebellion of directors from studio desires...

    New Star Wars films from Game of Thrones writers

    It depends on the story. TV Series with their longer (total) runtime allow for development and depth. It does no service to every good story to make everything as a 1.5-2 hour movie. In many ways movies are for people with short attention spans. They get everything presented and wrapped up...

    Live Die Repeat and Repeat (Edge of Tomorrow 2)

    Unfortunately, that runs contradictory against the lack of imagination and cowardice of Hollywood suits who focus on remakes and sequels.

    Dune (1984)

    The plan was Lady Jessica and Duke Leto's daughter would wed a Harkonnen, and the male child of that union would be the Kwisatz Hadarach. https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Kwisatz_Haderach

    Masters of the Air (2024)

    So last weekend I found an awesome YouTube military history channel with tons of great videos (The Fat Electrician). If you like them told with vigor, sarcasm and humor, this channel is for you. Enjoy. NSFW (language) Awesome story about Pacific WWII Bad Boy B-17 crew RAF legless pilot...

    I haven't watched any of the Disney Gallery episodes. In the Mandalorian ones, do you get to see Brendan Wayne?

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    What time are they supposed to be up? Is it 7 PM local? I know they weren't up around 5 CST for me. When I got home the wife was watching E5. E6 was on later, but I didn't note what time. I liked this episode a lot. It definitely took some turns and twists. The only thing I didn't like is...

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    OK. I have been enjoying S2 a lot. It appears Reacher is a bit too sentimental about someone who took a bullet for him before, but maybe not. However, episode 5 had 1 galactic level failure which is just piss poor writing. The truck hijack. So get this.

    I dunno. After some of those fires they have had, they might be finding some locales that look closer now.

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    According to an article I just read, even though the premiere is 12/15, on the page for the series it says 12/14 7:00 PM. A link article also says there is a minor location change from the book, Bad Luck and Trouble, where the initial incident was moved from CA to NY.

    HBO Max True Detective: Night Country

    Agreed. Season 1 set way too high a benchmark on every element (story, style, acting, etc.).

    HBO Max True Detective: Night Country

    Is that a retro opinion? What I mean is this. Me (and the rest of the known) universe loved S1. I need to find whoever I loaned it to and get it back. S2 was widely initially panned, due to the high expectations following S1. There were favorable comments on how S3 appeared when it rolled...

    Disney+ Ahsoka (2023)

    Well, the remnants of the Empire and their machinations has been an integral part of The Mandalorian. They just got their main strategist back and at the end of S3 Mandalorian they wacked Moff Gideon. So its appears Thrawn will be somewhere in S4. Now, given the forthcoming movie, he won't be...

    Disney+ Ahsoka (2023)

    Yeah, her skills looked pretty good to me, dating back to Legendary Trio and with young Jet Li in Shaolin Temple. My introduction to Donnie Yen was Legend of the Wolf

    Disney+ Ahsoka (2023)

    Hah. Lars was driving me nuts. I heard that voice, I knew that voice but I couldn't place it. When I saw his picture I realized it was from Sherlock. I enjoyed this series. My biggest gripe (as someone who never saw more that 1 or 2 eps of Rebels) is that Sabine was so unlikeable for me...
