If I’m not mistaken, Lane Factor has something coming up with Steven Spielberg.

Counter-argument: Let’s not.

“It’s a shame then that it’s hard to root for AHS: Delicate completely considering season 12’s first part filmed during the WGA strike. The scripts were complete, but picket lines were crossed anyway. Kardashian herself tweeted from the set. (Production eventually shut down after SAG-AFTRA went on strike.)”

how about just no tiktok? lel.

Darker than ripping someone’s consciousness out of the time-space continuum just to spend one day with them after which they and their memory will die forever, just to appease the programming of a single robot boy??

In that respect, The Creator owes a debt to A.I. Artificial Intelligence, although Edwards envisions the prospect of a darker outcome for humanity than Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film.

Somehow the Heels cancellation has to be CM Punk’s fault.

Bummer about Heels but not surprising. I don’t know hardly anyone that watches it and of the ones that do, they’re wrestling fans like me. Despite it being a solid show on its own, it just felt like its very niche to where non-wrestling fans wouldn’t give it much of a shot.

Earth exists in the Star Wars Canon. In Episode 1, during the debate scene in the Galactic Senate, there is a quick shot of a pair of ET's in one of the senate pods. Like, ETs, the alien from E.T. Since those guys made it to Earth, and every thing on screen in Star Wars is taken at canonical face value, I figure that…

I hate to be THAT guy but Heir to the Empire came out 32 years ago.

heh.  I don’t even think you could call what he’s doing “cooking.”  More like heating up a TV dinner, but serving it when it still has 5 more minutes left to go. 

i used to be very much on the side of “let Filoni cook”. now that i’ve tasted his cooking, i want to barf.

I respectfully disagree. Yes, the actor exudes charisma, but he played him at basic sitcom acting level. Even his hand gestures and voice inflection are remnant of high school theater acting. I promise if you watch it again after reading my comment, you’ll see it.

The cartoon did a decent-ish job of making Thrawn smart, in the context of a kid’s cartoon. It’s not like it was going to take a deep dive into complex military strategy, but it was fine enough for what it was.

Another utter whiff of an episode. So Thrawn gets flung to another galaxy with an entire Star Destroyer at his disposal and just....waits around, orbiting a janky-ass nowhere planet when he has no real hope of rescue just....because?

Longer than 22 years. Heir to the Empire was published in 1991 and the rest of the Thrawn trilogy came out one book a year till ‘93.

But did he do anything clever in the cartoon, or did he just use the Empire’s overwhelming firepower as pretty much anyone else would have?

The phrase ‘in a galaxy far, far away’ makes you assume that the planet Earth is somewhere out there, right? Hyuang quoting that in the intro got me halfway expecting that they were going to pull some Battlestar Galactica BS and the big ring was going to emerge from hyperspace in our solar system. I was very relieved…

Yup, Thrawn looks exactly like a blue Data there. It’s not him, though. It’s Lars Mikkelsen, brother of Star Wars alumnus Mads.

You got way too mad about the “Far Far Away” thing.
