This trailer felt like what would happen if the people behind the Olympus/London/Angel Has Fallen movies were tasked with taking notes on the first season of The Last of Us, gave up because they thought it was too much work, then watched a YouTube video essay about the first 15 minutes of the first episode instead.

FAM has already shown us a faster progression of technology in its world with stuff like the iPod showing up in the mid-90's. Now’s the time to have Karen live on as a head in a jar, because greater investment in space exploration would very clearly result in significant advances in head-in-jar technology.

I’ll be watching Andor’s second season, then check out.

Hey, Diddy Cowel Racing was a classic on the N64!

I’ve been thinking along these lines for a while. The connected universe was the secret sauce in the first decade of the MCU, but now it’s become an inescapable burden on every new property Marvel cranks out.

Marvel invites cinemagoers to marvel as Marvel presents Captain Marvel and the Marvels, starring Marvel and those other Marvels. Marvel!

Hoping that this is good, since I’ve always adored the original and Korra, but I keep getting a weird vibe about this one.

Seems like a very appropriate time to drop an “All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.”

Just start a rumor that there’s a bonus scene featuring Taylor Swift if you can unscramble the code hidden in the credits of Fargo, and it’ll be wall to wall coverage.

Yeah, I loved the first season but really didn’t care for what FAM had mutated into by the end of the third season.

From what I’ve see, the ever-shrinking floor space for DVD’s and Blu-rays has been increasingly taken over by boxes for very large TV’s.

All the cinematic universes and multiverses have reached a critical mass point where I now expect any question of which movie/show/whatever is considered canon will be met with a producer screaming “Maybe you! Maybe you! MAYBE YOU!” like Matthew trying decide who gets the big room in that episode of NewsRadio.

I saw an Ahsoka review today from Darren Mooney, in which he points to Star Wars moving from once drawing inspiration from outward to now going inward, as the franchise seems (with very few exceptions, Andor being one of them) to only be capable of referencing itself these days.

Andor really is that lone candle of light left in the growing gloom of Star Wars becoming an endless content treadmill that doesn’t have anything to say about anything, other than filling in empty spaces on obscure Wookieepedia pages.

They all received an email the morning of Order 66.

It almost felt like they tip-toed up to the “Potentially traumatic for anyone that’s experienced an uncomfortable holiday with family” line, and then deliberately bungee-jumped right past it to stop the episode from being too relatable for anyone.

Filoni’s treating himself to a new cowboy hat after coming up with the inevitable “Ahsoka did that, too!” ending to How Snoke Got That Big Face Scar: The Movie.

[Simpsons Wise Guy voice] “Yep, here’s your problem. Someone set this thing to NERF.”

To be fair, MST3K burned through like 80% of all the good remaining Star Wars names with Blast HardCheese / Dirk HardPec / Fridge LargeMeat / Bob Johnson in the Space Mutiny episode.

The Grogu situation really is feeling more and more like they’ve painted themselves into a corner with no plan on how to get out, so they’re just passing time in hopes that somebody thinks of something at some point along the way.

Getting Grogu to Luke was a natural off-ramp, either to pivot the show into a different…
