I guess Lucasfilm figured they needed a Feige figure, a superfan turned pro, and Filoni was it, because it sure as hell wasn’t Kennedy, Abrams, or the Kasdans. (Not to diss Kennedy, who’s one of the most accomplished producers in her generation, and arguably Hollywood history, but the shared cinematic universe thing…

I’m down with it.  He doesn’t drop gold 100% of the time, but I gotta say his average is pretty damn impressive.  He has respect, and he has vision.  I’m down with this.  Congratulations, Dave.  I stan ya.

I've heard that criticism, but I just don't share it. Sure, the dragons are what they are, but the whole final battle is about Shang's father letting go of his grief about his dead wife, realizing that his grief has disconnected him from his children, and then reconnecting with Shang in a way that mirrors falling in…

I’d probably have to pick Guardians 3 for my top spot, but Shang Chi is genuinely good and it’s kind of odd that it is so underrated. It’s one of the rarer recent Marvel movies that has a really strong emotional story at its core.

If this means Shang-Chi 2 shows up sooner, I’m all for it. The first was far and away my favourite Marvel project this side of Endgame (and I’ve liked most of phases 4 and 5 thus far).

Hiddleston would have to want to stay on though, and I get the impression he’s kind of done with the MCU. He’s got a nice cu$hion from his decade-plus of playing Loki and likely wants to do something else now.

I just hope they don’t undercut Sito Jaxa’s death in Lower Decks by revealing Locarno managed to save her

Locarno in particular looks quite a bit older than Mariner, yet he seemed to be the same age as the other cadets in The First Duty. I think he was the equivalent of a senior then, perhaps Mariner was a freshman (which explains how she had time to become besties with Sito, who was held back a year.) But that’s still…

It’s kinda difficult to parse the ages of all of these characters due to the stylization of animation. I guess it can just be chocked up to really good medical treatments in the 24th century.

Really weird not to mention what a good episode this ended up being for Capt. Freeman, here using Starfleet’s reputation as a means to smuggle out the information on Locarno they wanted; the Puppet scene and the Billups reveal were both great moments that added enough levity to balance out Mariner’s soul-searching.

Locarno is the season’s big bad?? Really? Do you think they got to this episode and were like, oh that’d be cool, or planned it from the beginning.

Okay, that’s a cool thing, Beckett was friends with the officer that died in the episode Lower Decks, but also Locarno is the season’s big bad?? Really? Do you think they got to this episode and were like, oh that’d be cool, or planned it from the beginning. I just hope they don’t undercut Sito Jaxa’s death in Lower…

Oh damn, forgot about Mythic Quest, love me some Rob McElhenney!

In a more positive light, concerning what we ARE getting for the 60th...

The BBC iPlayer has started listing episodes prior to the November 1 launch, (you can’t watch any of the classic episodes currently) and it contains almost everything else Who-related that has ever been released, including the Paul Mcgann TV…

Zuko’s scar looks too much like a black eye, but that might just be the lighting.

What’s the subheading talking about, with this being the “second live-action adaptation” of A:tLA? There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.

In the show, Zuko is exiled by his father, Fire Lord Sozin (Daniel Dae Kim).

Oh, there is clearly more you can do with Godzilla than Kaiju WWE.

At this point I wouldn’t blame the big guy for going Col. Jessep on Russell’s character: You WANTED me on that bridge! You NEEDED me on that bridge!
