The only thing I disagree with here is that this is in any way a recent phenomenon, as Disneyland has increasingly been an exploitative fleece job that constantly movws away from Walt’s “vision” (and called out as such) for decades. Blackout days, restrictions, price increases, costly add-ons that force you to pay or…

Basing anything one a Brian Herbert/Kevin Anderson book is a bad idea.  Having them involved is a worse idea.

It’s not safe there.

The Jaunt is a great short story. There’s barely enough for a half hour Twilight Zone episode. But then, they made two movies out of The Lawnmower Man.

I thought part of the problem with At the Mountains of Madness is that Prometheus came out and GDT felt the plot was too similar.

‘Bring my shuttle.’ from the original unaltered version of Empire should be on here. His plan for the entire movie has just jumped off a gantry and He. Is. Pissed. But then George took it out to make room for more shots of Vader’s shuttle landing on the Executor, ruining the momentum of the finale, and in the…

Well this list is a great big bowl of fail, for including that idiotic “NOOOOOOOO!” line and omitting this ice-cold bon mot:

By the way, for those who don’t know:

Princess Mononoke for Ghibli, Macross Plus(the full 4 Part OVA collection or the cinematized movie version - both forms are fantastic) otherwise.

the second Patlabor movie. Mamoru Oshii at his best and Kenji Kawai at his best. enough said.

Come out and say we do not support nor condone this attitude but say it over and over. Call out every example of it. That is how you end this shit but they want money instead.

C3PO: I am afraid I am not sure which planet we are on.

The droid specifically said they couldn’t find anything medically wrong with her. If it had said she was having complications, that would have been one thing. But the canonical, in-universe reason is that her emotions made her so fragile, she lost the will to live. And not only does that reek of “women be crazy”…

You know what I would have really loved for an after credits teaser for the last episode?

I have a question. If we halted all agricultural irrigation that uses these water sources. How fast would things get better? I realize we can’t do that, or that in the very least it would be incredibly difficult, and unpopular... I’ve just heard statistics that the non-commercial use of water for eating, drinking,…

You’re right... confound my inferior fandom.

But if he never got that model the Death Star would never had been blown up. He never would have gotten an actual T-16, never became a pilot, never shot wamp rats. It’s such shortsightedness like this that makes me question if your a real fan.

I don’t necessarily think it needed more time. I think it just wasn’t as efficiently written and staged as it could have been.

This is a legit critique.

Yeeessss! Thank you for articulating what I was feeling after watching the first three episodes. I’m going to watch the rest this coming weekend, but I was surprised by how little emotional or psychological content was present in those those first three episodes. I didn’t really feel anything while watching them.

There…

I’ve been trying to put my finger on what’s been off about this show, and it didn’t really come together until the third act of this episode.
