The hot air balloon was not necessarily ahistorical. While manned balloon flight would not come for a very long time after, the Chinese had hot air balloons similar, but smaller, to the one we saw before 300CE. A few centuries later, along the silk trail, seeing a larger version doesn’t exactly beggar the imagination.

The Tralfamadorians of Slaughter-House Five seem like the closest to Dr. Manhattan and somehow I can’t believe I missed that for the last 25 years. I have never read Dune, but it does pre-date Slaughter-House Five by a few years. I wonder if there was an idea of time as being frozen and unchangeable going in the…

I’be said this before but the scene in Season Two of The Tick where Superian does a riff on the “Can You Read My Mind?” soliloquy from the 1971 Superman movie as he abducts his critic is far more disturbing than anything The Boys did in its First Season.

It’s a classic plot structure for a reason, it freakin’ works. It’s silly to expect every show to reinvent the wheel with every plotline and episode. Yeah, it’s an A-Team plot in the Star Wars universe, but that's freakin’ awesome.

What "more" do you expect? Trade federations? Midichlorians? B,c and d story threads that slow everything down?

I’m the exact opposite, Mando + Baby Yoda is a well that I don’t think can ever run dry. I’m actually stressed that the finale sets something up for the movie involving Teen Yoda, and that it’s going to foreclose a second season of the adventures of Mando & Baby Yoda. They will be tugging Baby Yoda away from me like…

I don’t think Jurassic World had any scenes that conveyed the menace of dinosaurs as convincingly as the red eyed AT-ST stomping towards us from behind the tree line. Maybe they should have let her direct that movie.

I gather that “One for the Ladies” is supposed to evoke “goop,” but it’s worth noting that this episode seems to pass the Bechdel Test, too.

“ I didn’t want this entire season to be Mando juggling a baby while fighting off baddies and marauders.”

I’m very please with them making the AT-ST seem like a proper and visceral threat. For all its war machines Star Wars often has issues making them feel like they’re just another obstacle and not a real and present threat. This episode definitely works better at that than a lot of things have. 

Ike dumping out the chip bag and putting it over his head in the grocery store when Sheila was loudly talking about her fecal transplant was worth the price of admission.

The oversaturation of Frozen works for people who really like it and want more of it. I thought it was good, but I dunno, I’m just tired of it. I went to Disney World for the first time this summer and “Let It Go” was part of the Frozen Epcot ride, one of the Magic Kingdom live shows, and it was sung not once, but…

I don’t get Frozen. I don’t get why it’s the most popular thing in the world. I don’t get why so many people make flash games about pulling Elsa’s teeth or about her being pregnant. None of this makes sense to me.

Completely agree.

rogue one was trash. mandalorian delivered in 8 minutes on every single promise rogue one made and failed spectacularly to deliver.

solo on the other hand was a decent movie and deserves more than what people give it.

This was a perfect intro for the series and felt much more like the Star Wars universe in the original trilogy, than anything else Disney has done other than Rogue One. The new Skywalker Saga movies just don’t imbue the same tone, feel, and atmosphere in my opinion.

I know its only one episode, but damn. I’m excited. That somehow met every high expectation I had for this.

I didn’t even know Martin Scorsese watched Rick And Morty...

You’re the same as them just with a different target to rile.
