Goody goody. I think I knew that already, but nice to have a confirmation.

I frankly gave up on Whedon productions after I got tired of the standard excuse people give that you have to wait until the middle of the season (or sometimes wait until the second or third year) before it gets good. I prefer shows that are watchable from day one, thanks.

Person of Interest is okay, right? That and The Good Wife are the only CBS shows I give a damn about.

Hey, at least "Hannibal" is a clever, well-written and character driven serial killer. Not to mention pretty as a picture.

Let's just say he's way down beneath plenty of other characters on my list. Good, but overblown, and I really do mean it when I say he's irrelevant to the big picture. He enables main characters here and there, but you can remove, or at the very least reduce his presence a great deal, and the main narrative moves…

The red scrubs in the OR scene— very "Dead Ringers". No surprise to see Cronenberg influences here.

I'd like to eventually see a fan-edited version of the original trilogy that cuts Han Solo out completely. In strict story terms, it would be surprisingly possible, because as far as the big picture goes, he's kinda irrelevant.

Oh. And the collapse of Finn's tower prompts PB to yell out in pain about her arm? Asuka, all the way, there. Granted, the connection would be stronger in a sense if it was her eye (also because PB, like Asuka, would look hot with an eye-patch) but the arm thing is powerful as hell anyway.

Okay, just some quickies here. Finn's psychic arm— strong, strong vibes of the AT Field arm that Shinji generates when he makes Unit 01 go all Third Impact-y in "Evangelion 2.0". Especially when the cloud lady's advice is that Finn should "run away" from all his daddy issues. Misato would have something to say about…

Or the litany of "oh craps", unless I missed something.

So, edit a mash-up video of "Sherlock" with that "real human being" song playing over and over again, and you basically have the sequel.

To be fair, Boba Fett couldn't really do much of anything in ESB or ROTJ because of special-effects limitations— you really couldn't do much of the jet-pack or flame-thrower stuff in the early 80's without it straining the realism that ILM could achieve (even in "The Rocketeer" they only kinda pull it off, and in the…

I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to do some animated versions of the in-between books that don't necessarily contradict anything major, like "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" or "Shadows of the Empire". But anybody who seriously thought that any of the Thrawn or Mara Jade shit would ever become movie-canon is deluding…

I'm not saying I didn't feel "something", just that it was… really muted. Kinda like when Theon was tortured for an entire season. Did I feel "sorry" for him? Sorta. Mostly in the sense of instinctive leg-crossing when he was castrated. But it's kinda hard to give that much of a shit for a character who spent the…

Am I the only one who's finding it hard to muster up a damn about Cersei being raped? Yes, it's a valid topic of conversation concerning how the rape as presented on this show affects the ongoing discussion of how rape is portrayed in the media, the normalization of violence against women, the nature of adaptation,…

Wait, so Mason Verger is in next week?

If it had been purple, it would've been perfect.

Qui-Gon. That's about as close you can get to a priest in sci-fi, outside of "Dune". And more of a priest than "Gangs of New York".

I don't really see that getting in the way, myself.

Ah, gotcha. FP ruins Finn's arm, and PB rebuilds it. Potential to either float or sink either ship.
