Can’t tell you how much that one look made that scene for me.

I agree, but Luke has isolated himself from others, even The Force. Unpasteurized milk is just a sign of a self-destructive downward spiral.
Yes, but those shows always presented the acts of those characters as being bad specifically because they went against the ideals of the fictional universe. The problem with Discovery isn’t that it deals with characters who do bad things, but that those things are not always presented as bad.
Most people are pissed about ST and SW for different reasons.
Star Trek has always had morally grey and compromised Starfleet officers, even under Roddenberry’s watch. In TOS they started native arms races (“Omega Glory”) and founded Nazi planets (“Patterns Of Force.”) In TNG Season 4 “The Drumhead” a Starfleet admiral’s investigation turns into a guilt by association witch hunt…
“Luke just “is different now” with no credit to the audience. It’s bad writing.”
Funny how no one asks why he didn’t tell her his plan.
To accept the premise that they’ve “abandoned that” would be to believe that the producers think that anything Lorca’s done to this point is a good thing.
My issues are with the script paying no attention to taking a character we know and explaining *why* they’re different - Luke just “is different now” with no credit to the audience.
Am I the only person in the world that remembers M.A.N.T.I.S.?
Brilliant article. Write a shorter version myself. I agree about the city, and BL’s connection to it. All the other shows, they protect their city, but it doesn’t feel like they live in it. Their apartments are in some safe zone, and other than their jobs, or their heroics you don’t see them interact with anyone or…
Seems to be saying that the similarities are superficial, which may or may not be true, but is at least plausible.
I mean, it does seem like a pretty different movie than what I imagine a Black Widow movie would be (i.e., more Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy+sexy times than Bourne Identity).
My feeling is that the hardcore fans just want Return of the Jedi ad infinitum. They say they want a movie that challenges their expectations, but they just want a bigger rehash of what worked for them before, that doesn’t have any ambiguity, and ends with everyone and everything in the right place. That’s why the…
A co-worker told me there wasn’t enough Chewie and it was BS. I couldn’t
He’s not wrong here. He wanted to try something new. To take risks and produce something original, and not just a throwback to the original trilogy. To make a Star Wars movie for the current generation of fans effectively, and so the angry fanboys are going to lose it and throw threats his way. This is why I’ve come…
Yeah, I literally have never thought of this stuff in any of the movies.
If you want to complain about timelines, how long is Empire Strikes Back? Was Luke training with Yoda for like three days?
Exactly. I understand the desire to explore all the details of these things but after a while you run up against the law of diminishing returns for your effort. Sometimes it’s just better to zoom out and enjoy the larger picture.
So it is just like the comics.
