What a serious fucking waste of time. 

Didn’t get the Barge, and don’t really collect toys anymore. But THIS is the one I’m totally on board with. This is gorgeous and iconic. 

I don’t collect toys anymore.

Granted, but for me personally, making the threat clear earlier would have greatly enhanced my engagement with the material. I do fully admit I mostly enjoyed it.

My biggest complaint is the lack of stakes. The bulk of the movie is our heroes chasing after the Dial either for 1) Helena-Money or 2) Indy-because he doesn’t like Nazis and wants the piece in a Museum? Voller’s purpose for wanting it just isn’t made clear enough for it to be the primary motivation to stop him until…

Literally the only two things I remember from my only viewing of this back in 80's:

My biggest issue is: Why is nobody concerned about where the hell Agent Ross is? Okay, there was a Skrull version. Shouldn’t somebody be looking for John Watson...er...Agent Ross?

“I should have sent it to the Marx Brothers” totally works on multiple levels.

I am very much looking forward to the Command Center Energy Barriers level on the Mandalorian PS5 game. 

I think Terry knows by now not to permanently kill Todd Stashwick. It just can’t happen. 

I strongly recall being bored and annoyed with Vector Prime...and then they killed Chewie. I flipped to the end to make sure it wasn’t a fake-out, put it down, and never read another EU novel after that. And reading that synopsis of all that came later totally tells you why Lucasfilm scrapped all that shit.

I really loved the moment between Bo Katan and Din, in which he confirms his servitude. The show has really stuck to Din as a Paladin, a knight, and NOT really a leader, and I love it. It

Zeb. ZEB!  And he looked, moved, and obviously sounded, GREAT. THE CIRCLE IS ALMOST COMPLETE FOR ‘REBELS: REBORN’

Terry Matalas gets it. That’s all there is to it, and what ‘it’ is, is storytelling. Following throughlines, recognizing character connections and how the combination of good writing and strong characters should propel your entire narrative. One of the best moments in 12 Monkeys is in the final season, and literally…

KIRK ACEVEDO! OMG, just greenlight the 12 Monkeys sequel series already! Will we get Amanda Schull?

Todd Stashwick is great in this role, which I’m sure was tailored for him, but whatever. He’s pretty instantly iconic.

I was really kind of hoping to see R5 get completely destroyed, setting off a running gag of Mando burning through legacy Star Wars droids. “Again, Mando?  Okay, okay. Here I’ve got this nice little Gonk droid...”

Really need to give it up to Gates McFadden for some acting chops in this episode. It’s easy to forget in these genre shows sometimes, but she really sold it here with exposition-heavy scenes that really shouldn’t have worked as well as they did.

Todd Stashwick is just ridiculously awesome and I’m so glad Terry brought him over. “Anyone else want to throw some weird shit at me?”

Yes, I completely flipped my shit and grinned like a goddamned idiot when the Purrgils showed up. And the effects on the shots were gorgeous.
