I enjoy Eddie but at the same time the cast is already huge. Part of me thinks they should have just had an already established character get falsely accused of a crime instead.

Stranger Things has lost the magic, for me, at least. Really struggling to care about the last 2 episodes (the staggered release has been covered in other comments).

I honestly would’ve hated the weekly release format but I also very much hate them splitting up the season like this too. I don’t get why they wouldn’t have dropped it all at once beyond wanting to juke extra subscription money from folks

This show feels a lot cheaper than I would have expected, there’s some real cable tv series stuff going on.

It’s actually B.

Maybe they should have just let Lord and Miller finish what they started. It probably would have made at least around the same amount of money but not resulted in them having to spend an extra $100 million or so and hence pushing the production into what might have been a loss (previously unheard of for a Star Wars

I’m not feeling it with Reva. It’s pretty clear she has an ax to grind, hopefully it’s something more than simply a need to belong or basic dark-side ambition.

She’s easily the worst part of the show. 

This seems a bit premature. I mean, she’s definitely designed and intended to be the most interesting character, but I don’t think it’s earned by what we’ve seen so far. Her performance is fine, and I have high hopes that she is a standout character in this series, but we aren’t there yet. I don’t think any of the

Yeah. Leia’s message is Leia in diplomatic mode, but when Luke comes into the detention block he says something like, “I’m here to rescue you. I’ve got your R2 Unit... I’m here with Ben Kenobi.” At which point she excitedly shouts, “Ben Kenobi is here! Where is he?” Which implies that her connection to Obi-Wan is more

“Leia’s “help me Obi-Wan Kenobi” message that she gives to R2-D2 in the movie seems to imply that she and Obi-Wan do not know each other, but she eventually does meet Obi-Wan in part two of the premiere and she hears him referred to as Obi-Wan—despite his insistence that he is called “Ben.””

Second was the escape at the end where Reva was standing around shouting how Kenobi can’t escape her. There were probably dozens of Imperial ships around and, more importantly, she knew exactly the ship he was on. So I don’t think it would have been at all difficult for her to stop that ship or at least figure out a

If there’s any inconsistency with Obi-Wan’s appearance, it’s just that people born in 1914 aged a lot worse than people born in 1971. Macgregor is 17 years older in Kenobi than he is in Revenge of the Sith. Strictly going by the canon timeline he’s already old enough to play Kenobi in the New Hope era, much less 9

So. Much. PARKOUR from Reva. STAAAAP.

totally agree about the third sister. all of her line deliveries fell flat and were cringe-y. Glad to see the representation, but I feel she’s the weak link here.

For the most part, I think the show is darned good. I hadn’t read a whole bunch before it was released so Flea was a surprise. As I kind of expected, though, the Inquisitors are the weak part. Between the questionable make-up effects or the Charlie Brown head of the Grand Inquisitor or the bad panto villain acting of

I wouldn’t call this a disaster movie in 50 min.  This had a very WWII submarine movie vibe to it.  Hiding from the enemy while using sonar to track them.  I mean, they even improvised a damn depth charge.  

I’m really loving the characterization in this show. It’s only been four episodes and I feel like I know who everybody is. If La’an tells you to raise shields you better raise those freaking shields! I even got scared for the kid running the transporter!

I have been stunned so far in how much meat you can pack into 45

The Orville has always felt like a TNG Cover Band. In the first season, almost every episode you could identify exactly which TNG (or DS9 or Voyager) they were covering.  Now, through the second season, they evolved into a pretty damn good cover band, but still.

No bored ape is worth $200,o00 - this is just a pyramid scheme, right?
