As a kid when I saw New Hope … around 1990, when I saw that part I was like "woah…. he's kind of a bad guy" which left me tense during the rest of his interactions because I expected him to live up to his initial shooting in other manners. He comes close too, he disparages the force, is insulting to everyone, needs…

Ninja Plot Armor is the WORST. Literally the WORST. You'd think you'd learn from your mentor that plot armor is not helping you survive… but no…

didn't you hear her gurgle something along the lines of "I've got a bad feeling about this" when Sam's door is opened at the end? I could have sworn I heard that.

out of character? leaving the towns sole source of medical expertise literally at the hands of a crazed killer? Mmm.

ah I guess you are right, darn!

Everyone needs to read this. I recommend starting at 2-3 PM. This …. is the funniest thing ever. Literally reading a mental breakdown in the process by a professional sports writer. Literally calls the games at Wimbledon at one point, and I quote "Wimbledon Zombie Pandemic"

Totally Aethelwold, thanks for the save. What new guy? A stablehand is a redshirt!

Wellll. This blew me away as being the surprise hit of the decade. Seriously. I tend to hear about most shows that come out in my specific area of interests (history/scifi) well before they are announced. Never heard this one coming, thank you BBC for being the masters of surprise hits, I guess that government funding…

"and that guy" Come now, surely the Prince earns your respect from his full-hearted devotion to becoming a badass. First, I admit I respected what he said to the Vikings, giving them enough to save his life but nothing that I believe would ultimately weaken Alfred. Second, he could have killed Alfred, but didn't.…

that's BBC for you. Everything is a miniseries until proven otherwise.

Beocca, reaffirmed as BaddestAss Priest of God.

The Storm trooper can't aim stuff is nonsense, it is patently false and the fan service references here were lame because they took a traditional fan meme and made it into an apparent reality. On Hoth they won. They were accurate on Tatooine They corralled Luke Skywalker on Bespin. On Endor they did well too, just…

I could take or leave the gravitas. I felt that of the origin stories, it was the most far-fetched, but in an extreme way. GoTG proves that SCIFImarvel can be done better. I would have even preferred the traditional castle approach, rather than gold space towers. Maybe I can just never get behind a hero who literally…

that is my problem with Superman-esque characters to begin with. One of the reasons why I felt Marvel was better (obviously not all their characters) was because there were more limitations. I no longer feel that simplistic about them, but at least in the movies most Marvel characters are fairly limited.

IP = Intellectual Property, as in Marvel (Disney) owns the IP of ALL Marvel characters for comic books, but fails to own the IP rights of Spider Man, X-men, and various other famous Marvel characters. So they stopped (or reduced) production of other comics/characters and diverted more attention to the ones they…

Actually… no, this is not comparable to real life issues. Imagine in the real world we have people who can MIND CONTROL you. Then imagine, you have someone who can STOP that person.Yet they can't stop that person from mind-control killing you if they are under supervision, and their family is at threat because their…

I thought that was actually the opposite? Both IM and CA at that point in comic history were pretty much jokes/asides. They were no longer relevant and this was the way to make them popular again. By "radicalizing" them. This was after the start of the comic book movie boom, but Marvel realized the properties they…

a small role, which could be entirely explained as "Oh, Loki is now Odin and in possession of a Gem" which in fact would have probably have been a smarter choice.

There have been massive issues between the divisions of Marvel. Which have led to a disconnect in the wider story over the past year. This is reputedly now all fixed (in response to 'internet rumors' such as what I'm saying now), but we won't see any evidence of any closer connections between the show/movies until at…

My second favorite *mind you, I did NOT expect to love GotG like I did, that film just made me so damn happy*. Either way, yeah this is going to be greeaat. First this film to whet my appetite, then Daredevil S2 to blow me into a coma.
