Hey, at least he was smart enough to start by reading the manual, something the geniuses might have been too egotistical to resort to.

Pre-Bitch Krysten Ritter was a pretty nice person, for a Saybrook resident.

No, as we see, the best possible armor is energized, like the Gungans' handheld shields, or the riot control baton. Star Wars "lasers" are just plasma weapons like their blasters, and don't act like real laser beams at all. Mirrors will not reflect them.

Other than being digested, you mean?

In the future, use "espy" instead to eschew obfuscation.

Boyega's just all kinds of fun here. I read a rumor that Isaac's character was a minor role that got bumped up, so he'll presumably have more screen time in the next movie.

And that's exactly what people said after Star Trek (2009) saved the franchise from Nemesis and Enterprise. Now that the reboot was completed, surely Abrams would find fertile new ground for the sequel.

Eh, I skipped a Star Trek movie two years ago, and had never skipped a Trek anything before. If you're not feeling it, don't just see it out of obligation. If you know the major spoiler, just watch the Rian Johnson film first, then circle back to this one if you want to.

A pretty crappy spy, if she doesn't report the new Death Star/Starkiller Base to her handler before the Republic capital and their entire fleet get wiped out.

Oh, right. Well then, why the fuck did we waste all that time worrying about the bunker, then?

Keep in mind that it's more a drama with comedic elements and sensibilities than a true comedy, though.

I thought it could have used a few more people being shot in the face, myself.

Spoiler:


















































If I read the last episode correctly, it basically cuts out minutes before the asteroid impacts, with one of the main characters in a perilous, cliffhanger-y situation. I have no idea if a second series is being considered, though I suppose if it does well on NBC… hahahahaha!

It wasn't just a simple recasting of Krosney's character, though. They aged both her and her child up a number of years, and recast the deadbeat baby daddy as well into a major character, then switched Krosney's character's current love interest over to her younger sister. It may have been that the actor just appeared…

Lucky you.

The first one was dreadful, but the sequel exceeded my expectations. Suitable amounts of crazy violence, loud drunken Idris Elba, Cage does a really twitchy Ghost Rider mocap, and the Rider turns a construction crane into his flaming "cycle."

What could be more kid-friendly than Dexter Jettster's retro diner in Coco Town, Coruscant?

I wouldn't mind #3 & 4 so much, as those at least are allowed to be set in different universes. Well, other than the inevitable deterioration in quality caused by the accelerated release schedules, of course.

I should hope so. That was Fargo's Greta Grimly!
