About as sensible as giving your foot soldiers armor that doesn’t actually protect them against anything. It just kills their mobility and FOV. The face scan doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch from there.

The fight scene with Mando on top of the transport was the underrated gem of this episode. Not only did he get a good chance to show off hand to hand combat skills (which I always appreciate), the sequence also nailed something I hoped it would: how reliant he is on his armor as a defensive tactic.

That font of the Ahsoka show is definitely the World Between Worlds theme from Rebels. I wonder if this show is going to focus more on the mysteries of the force and reaching across time, etc. than actually following Ahsoka’s adventure of the week.

Your initial premise is incorrect. According to Google Earth, the monolith had been there for at least four years. source It was first archived in October of 2016. Unless they’re going for a slow burn media campaign, this was probably just some kind of installation art that was polluted by the selfie-takers

...what if it’s no Jedi? What if Grogu decides not to reach out through the force? Of all the things we’ve seen in Star Wars, someone purposely not becoming a Jedi or Sith when they have force powers is not something we’ve seen. At best, it’s been a Jolee Bindo or Ahsoka situation where someone trained as a Jedi just…

I believe this is the last episode with shots we saw in the trailer - so my guess is that Ahsoka is up next. Also, the Dark Troopers make perfect sense. Ahsoka would mop the floor with any of the characters we’ve seen in this show; believing that Moff Gideon alone could match her in combat would be...a stretch. So of…

I thought the scene with Bo-Katan removing her helmet was excellent - the best single scene in this show so far. First, it perfectly mirrored Din’s introduction to the Marshall in episode one - except it flipped it on its head. Unlike the Marshall, not only is Bo-Katan Mandalorian, she’s more Mandalorian than Din.

On one hand (the main hand), this is really, truly, not that serious. Some people thought it was funny. Some didn’t. Some are so offended that they feel the need to write an essay on why watching an imaginary alien eating the imaginary eggs of another imaginary alien is some kind of war crime. I guess when the…

I agree. What do scientists say about reintroduction of wolves in Colorado?

Why are we all acting like taxes aren’t the real enemy here? Why is it that the IRS gets a cut of my pay when I get paid, then gets a cut of that same money if I give it to my kid? It’s bullshit. Plus, we should all remember that those dollars are paying for Trump’s golf trips. And honestly, I’d rather Robert buy…

No. If you don’t like gore, you’re probably not going to enjoy this show.

I’m guessing that the next season will set up a frenemy situation between Homelander and the Boys. Homelander knows that Stormfront wasn’t the one exploding heads, and he seems just curious enough to want to know who it was. And while Stormfront was his PR enemy for the first few episodes of this season, it seems like…

“You ain’t shit you nazi bitch” was such a simple, yet effective line. Probably my favorite in this season.

The challenge is that it’s so much more difficult to share factual information than fake news. For example, if you said that Trump ingested a baby to help cure himself of a disease that doesn’t exist, everyone would believe it in an instant. The problem with this article is that it’s so bogged down with facts that…

This is a great idea. I hadn’t even thought of the Collective. Makes sense, given their sudden and - to date - mostly distracting subplot.

What is it you people like to say - “love it or leave it?”

Good for him. I just hope neither Ocean Spray nor Fleetwood Mac pulls a dick move and sues him over copyright infringement. I don’t foresee that, but hey, 2020.

Came here to say this. Stormfront (an actual Nazi)  gave more lip-service condemnation in response to that shooting than we’ve heard from the president on terrorists like Kyle Rittenhouse. I guess the writers couldn’t have seen that coming.

Hoaxes can be surprises

This is an interesting show, but I’m afraid it’ll go the way of those stupid mystery boxes that camera flare guy (I forget his name right now) likes. There are a bunch of mysteries that don’t seem to have any meaning or resolution. I just hope they reveal the mystery before I get so invested that I’m actually…
