I like the idea of a Ratatouille (or a Raccacoonie) under her helmet helping her forge that’s she’s afraid everyone will find out about.

“A story about the two Death Star stormtroopers who got knocked out on the Millenium Falcon and whose armor was used by Han and Luke who woke up in the hold of the Falcon hours later during the Battle of Yavin.”

Well put. There hasn’t been any real conflict in Season 3 and the series doesn’t seem to be going anywhere at all. I never really thought the show was great, but I’m borderline just hate-watching at this point and am sometimes pleasantly surprised when something actually cool or novel happens.

What even are the rules of this “world’s most boring game of paintball”? After the kid shoots Baby Yoda, the round is stopped. But then when Baby Yoda shoots the kid he’s allowed to fire all three rounds and is the winner?

It also doesn’t help that the more we see of the Mandalorians, the more inept they appear. Watching them clumsily climb the mountain or move some branches just looks silly. I’m starting to wonder if this is all just a callback to the OT’s Boba Fett where he looks cool but when push comes to shove he’s actually pretty…

I don’t know if there’s any franchise that I WANT to see work as much as I do Alien. It’s a shame that the more recent films just haven’t delivered.

My guess is that each will take place in a new environment, kind of like the Planet Earth documentaries. So maybe next time we get some desert Avatars, and then we get some mountain Avatars, and then some snow Avatars. But I have no idea how they will keep the “human military is after Jake Sully again” story going.

Exactly. It’s such a great theater experience that I’m not at all surprised it has made so much money.

Went to see Avatar last week, and wow does it look incredible in 3D. I’m glad I finally made the trip to the theater because the movie itself was just ok and watching it at home wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun. 

What’s the MCU?

I think that Bo leaving her helmet on when she was back on her ship seemed out of character and was kind of a lazy way to get her back into the cult.

Exactly. Everything in this episode would have been fine (if a bit boring honestly) if there would have been some sort of stinger at the end. Even something as simple as Elia Kane getting a call and saying, “I have it in my possession and the Dr. has been taken care of” would have been enough to help clear up her…

And now we know what Andor would be like if it were made by the same people who did Book of Boba Fett

The show worked when it was an alternate history/space race show. The 3rd season is technically set in the 2000's, I think, but the technology is beyond what exists today so the show has just become generic sci-fi with an unrealistic amount of nepotism. Kudos to the show for actually killing characters off from time…

For All Mankind was much better in seasons 1 and 2 than the soap opera that was season 3. I’ll probably quit on it if season 4 is more like season 3, which I expect it will be unfortunately.

Peanuts are great snacks while watching spider fights.

EEAAO is probably my top movie from the last 5 years, but to each their own. I worried for a minute that All Quiet would sneak in and win best picture after the Daniels won best director.

Someone’s job is to set up and watch spider fights all day?!?

The finale was great and I love the ambiguous ending (I thought for sure Joel was going to die but this was so much better), but now I totally understand what you meant in our conversation last week about how having more infected would up the stakes of his decision.

I know the show didn’t go this route, but I think it would be interesting if Ellie actually did consent but then Joel rescued her without knowing that it was her choice. Ellie would know that Joel was lying to her as soon as she woke up, then would have to decide whether to tell him that she knows he is lying or just…
