I came here looking for the “Cave of Two Lovers” episode. It needed a shout out. One of the many things this show does really well are it’s flashbacks & side stories - many with switched up animation. I’m so happy you found the show. I got in right when Book Two was wrapping up & caught up and watched Book Three

Jemaine Clement - the Asshole Himself* - directed this one too.

I didn’t figure out it was Hamill until halfway through when he showed up at the bar. I was finally like, “Okay, this role is too big to not be a cameo ... who is this? Is that Mark Hamill? Jesus, it is. Ha!”

I can’t unsee (or unthink) STRIPE as being a reference to soiled underpants. I hope the show undresses this tissue.

See: Jesse L. Martin

The big question is: does someone make fun of her hair poof again? She needs these moments of humility.

Mick’s daughter is super cute and endearing. She might somehow (whoops!) gain abilities of some sort and join the team. That would be welcome. Honestly this show is so good at putting down the character groundwork that it allows them to go anywhere and it feels organic.

Since Astra spent most of her screentime up until now sitting behind a desk in Hell, I had a “Whoa” seeing how tall she was.

She has plenty of runway to get worse too ... Literally maddening itchy skin and all.

When Eva Green’s Angelique finally has Barnabas trapped near the end of the movie - trapped in his coffin frozen for all eternity - and the coup de grace is that she sets a pair of her panties on his face, and then closes the lid, that’s when I lost it. Biggest laugh in the movie. If you pay $10 to see a comedy movie

Namaste Steve Lomeli! Hopefully he didn’t explode. Mister Lomeli has functioned as Lena’s favorite lab rat/true face of Non Nocere’s success or failure ... forever. Her return to Kara and away from Lex seems spiritually guided by Mr. Lomeli’s Jiminy Cricket. So, her turnaround felt organic. Maybe they needed more of a

My knee-jerk though is that the new mystery woman is Talia al-Ghul.

Well, more evidence that she’s lost without Luke, I guess. And also, I get the vibe that the stunt-work and fight choreography here wants very badly to equal the stunt-work and fight choreography on Daredevil. Similar sequences and all. It helps that they’re doing a good job of it, though.

Julia is a frickin love-triangle incarnate

Never shave the beard, Rex.

Rex would be great but wouldn’t he be pushing ... 70? If he was 50 when they found him in Rebels ... hm. Anyway & either way, Morrison would have to wear some old age make-up for Rex and/or skin-burn make-up (I assume) for Boba ... along with Boba’s Swiss-cheese looking armor. If Boba still even wears it. Beskar might

On May 4th, for the heck of it, I looked up and listened to the Return of the Jedi radio broadcast from 1984 (or thereabouts). This is the one where John Lithgow did Yoda’s voice for one scene, Perry King played Han Solo, and Ed Asner did Jabba the Hutt’s voice. Asner was so good, I had to question reality: was he

The same bug bit the fans of The Knights of Ren or whateverthefuck those guys were.

Thank you for bailing me out. It is a stretch, I admit. 

Me exactly. Though making it Son of Sam’s dog was inspired. Pooch could have easily been an Encore - but did it matter? Nah.
