    Star Wars Rebels Sequel Series Reported

    Sorry about the context of my post. When a series has ended years back, it's the assumption that everybody who has already watched the series has already seen it. Generally, from my understanding, spoiler rules are in effect for as long as until the next episode is broadcast. I tend to give...

    Star Wars Rebels Sequel Series Reported

    Far as Dave Filoni's involvement, I don't expect him to be in a major directing role but that he'll probably be producing the new series, maybe directing a few episodes. For the most part, Filoni acts mainly as producer and figurehead for the animation shows. The one thing I give Lucasfilm...

    Star Wars Rebels Sequel Series Reported

    Well, there are a lot of fans of the Star Wars Rebels series. Honestly? I've always felt that Star Wars Rebels was a true successor to the Star Wars legacy than the sequel trilogy was. While there were scant appearances by Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C3PO and R2D2 ... the...

    Star Wars Rebels Sequel Series Reported

    Please note that I just became aware of this. But, apparently, Disney + is rumored to be greenlighting a sequel series for Disney + based off the Star Wars Rebels finale that saw Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren as they flew off in search of Ezra Bridger. The series is also rumored to feature Grand...

    The Expanse Season 4

    This is why I don't watch SyFy anymore. I haven't watched it ever since they canceled Stargate Atlantis in favor of Stargate Universe. Personally, I always thought SGA was a better show than SGU and they ended up canceling the latter show after its second season. SyFy used to be all about...

    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    I don't think this will be a one and done season. CBS, Viacoom, Paramount ... who knows what studio is in charge these days, will likely continue this series on, as long as Patrick Stewart is up for it. The problem is that these big studios always want to have multiple seasons to squeeze more...

    His Dark Materials (HBO)

    I've put off on watching this series but it's starting to sound like, from what I'm hearing, that it isn't as good as it should be. It was the movie, The Golden Compass, that turned me onto this series, which really hooked me. It felt similar to Narnia. It's just I've been hearing from a variety...

    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    The thing with anything TNG/DS9/Voyager moving forward is that the characters aren't exactly safe from being killed off because those shows don't predate anything of the previous Trek shows. BTW, Discovery is also in this same boat. With the exception of Christopher Pike, Spock and the...

    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    While I wasn't thrilled with Discovery, and still not a fan of the show; I'm actually hyped to see Picard. Each new trailer makes me even more hyped. Patrick Stewart is one of the finest genre actors out there. First time I saw him in a film was way back in the 1980's when the first Dune movie...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Discussion Thread (SPOILERS!)

    Won't get into why the Disney sequel has been so abysmal. I'll just comment on the final saga film itself. Rise of Skywalker feels like Disney and Lucasfilm realized in the 11th hour that "we need something to entice original Star Wars fans to see the movie". What I mean is that the whole...

    Annoyed by a broadcast channel

    Honestly? I thought the same thing. I was tempted to subscribe to HBO and Cinemax but I saw a listing for the movies on their schedule and it reads like a who's who of movies from the 80's and 90's, movies I have seen a million times already. HBO and Cinemax used to be known for recent...

    Crisis On Infinite Earths - Arrowverse Crossover 2019

    I don't think the producers of the Arrowverse had any idea they would be adapting any of the "event storyarcs" that happened in the comics. The thing of it is, I don't think they started to seriously consider it until Barry Allen / The Flash was introduced. I'd been stating, ever since the pilot...

    Crisis On Infinite Earths - Arrowverse Crossover 2019

    What I think is going to happen is that Oliver Queen (The Spectre) is going to play a substantial role when the Paragons defeat the Anti-Monitor, restoring the lives of those lost when Earth 1 was consumed. Oliver may end up being involved in some major way since we know that Earth 1 (Flash...

    Amazon Video "Insufficent bandwith" issues

    This may be a little late in responding but since we moved into our new home, I've been watching Amazon Prime through my 4K TV and I've rarely had any issues with it. But, that may be because I'm subscribed through Comcast and my broadband speeds are something like 250mbps. There have been times...

    Crisis On Infinite Earths - Arrowverse Crossover 2019

    Be aware that I was deliberately not posting spoiler-type information because I didn't want to ruin the episode but here goes. For me, the biggest WTF moment was when Lex Luthor wrote himself into the Vanishing Point scene in place of Superman. I was thinking, all of the Paragons have powers so...

    Crisis On Infinite Earths - Arrowverse Crossover 2019

    It added insult to injury. Lex got knocked out by a non-superpowered woman. During Hour 2, I laughed my arse off at that WTF moment when Lex tosses Clark Kent (Smallville) the Kryptonite rock. When I saw that, the first thought that ran through my head was that the Kryptonite from one universe...

    Frasier

    The thing of it is, I wish Hollywood would stop trying to remake or bring these shows back. There seems to be a lack of originality when it comes to creating new shows and they keep relying on fans of the original shows to come back for the return. I tried sitting through an episode of the...

    Crisis On Infinite Earths - Arrowverse Crossover 2019

    My CW affiliate has a lot of issues, but fortunately tonight everything was clear. The episode should be available to stream tomorrow for free on the CW App. Sorry that happened to you. Then, it sounds like I wasn't the only person who experienced issues with The CW last night. At first, I...

    His Dark Materials (HBO)

    I've been on the fence about whether to watch this or not. I enjoyed The Golden Compass but I've been wondering if it's faithful to the original source material and would someone who hasn't read the original novels enjoy this adapted series?

    Crisis On Infinite Earths - Arrowverse Crossover 2019

    Well, managed to get 10 minutes into the second hour of the crossover but The CW network in my area, the audio went out and all I could hear was a bunch of "CLICK, CLICK, CLICKING". This is in Michigan. I think The CW (236 on XFinity) either got a bad episode or their programming is having...

    Justice Department Moves to Terminate Paramount Consent Decrees

    I don't think this is a bad thing. It's not like the government agencies in charge of overseeing these various industries aren't going to stop what they're doing. My guess is that they will continue to monitor these movie studios and ensure that they're not engaging in anti-trust violations...

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    It's official. Warner Brothers has pushed back the theatrical release date for Godzilla vs Kong to November 2020. According to Cominigsoon.com: Monster movie fanatics have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Godzilla vs. Kong, but it sounds like they’ll have to wait a bit longer to see the...

    Disney+ The Mandalorian

    Well, I don't know how else to say it but Baby Yoda has become the latest craze where it concerns movies or their franchises. I don't want to violate any rules here and I'll try not to stray too far into it (so try not to be too hard on me for this comment) but ever since "Baby Yoda" made an...

    Disney+ The Mandalorian

    Damn! Lucasfilm and Disney are catching flak over Baby Yoda. When Baby Yoda debuted on The Mandalorian, the character became Lucasfilm's most beloved character, much in the same way as Baby Groot became the MCUs most beloved character. It was natural that fans would create animated gigs to use...

    Disney+ The Mandalorian

    Honestly? I hadn't noticed that the second and third episodes were half an hour each. The only thing I can say is that The Mandalorian is so good that I hadn't even noticed ti was half an hour. But, I've been literally laughing at everyone online who seem to be complaining about "Baby Yoda". For...

    Disney+ The Mandalorian

    Why is everyone so hung up on the episode length. Streaming shows aren't required to stick with the traditional 42 minutes per episode but they will range from 42 minutes to as long as 53 minutes in length. Pilot or premiere episodes tend to have a few extra minutes tacked on to the premiere but...

    Disney+ The Mandalorian

    Error on my part. But, at least Favreau isn't following Kathleen Kennedy's lead and has produced an epic Star Wars series that is respectful of what George Lucas created. Each episode seems to get better and better. But, I wish it was longer than an eight-episode season.
