Anime Ruby Rhod made me laugh out loud. Really captures the goofy dynamism of the character.

Well, I may be a minority here, but I liked the midichlorians. I often feel like the Star Wars movies are at their strongest when they stick close to “science fictiony” textures and notions (while still remaining fantasy).

Gonna tell us exactly why, hero?

The question for me is, who best approximates a female version of the old movie serial heroes / heroines?

The question for me is, who best approximates a female version of the old movie serial heroes? (Were there any serials where the main protag was a woman? All I can think of is the hero’s girlfriends — Dale Arden, etc. But they were generally pretty active and heroic. Someone like Marion Ravenwood, then?)

What you’re not addressing in your comment is that motion smoothing makes movies LOOK different. Specifically, it makes them look like daytime soap opera. That is not a good look.

Another piece of the puzzle here is Luv. No one seems to comment on the fact that K. and Luv are mirror-images of each other — he’s the obedient servant of Joshi (a woman), she’s the obedient servant of Wallace (a man). Both pursue the child of Deckard and Rachel, and both strain against their programming. One…

I’d like to see a series focusing on the adventures of the two Blue Wizards, Alatar and Pallando, off beyond the eastern periphery of Middle Earth.

Cue Jerry Goldsmith music.

I like how the whole thing is also meant to be an entertaining visual experience as well. (E.g.: holding on the belching man for a long time, followed by a “transitional” flurry of punches, which carries us into the big tank fight at 1:27.)

You sound a little confused (drunk?), and probably would benefit from a little counseling. I’m serious here — not making a dig.

I actually this felt like the most cohesive and unified episode so far this season. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly liked the “classic Who” villainy of the pugnacious/authoritarian young officer — how many times have I seen Tom Baker confront this sort of arrogant troublemaker?

Speaking as a white guy, I’m delighted to see a movie filled with people not like myself (in the sense of looking like myself) front and center and saving the day. It’s novel, it’s interesting, it looks cool, I grasp its importance, and it’s long overdue. More movies like this make the world better and more fun. …

Wasn’t the entire point of his answer that he was saving his own ego, no matter what the “truth” was? He was saying what he himself needed to hear.

My first thought when I saw her was: a child version of Famke Janssen. The resemblance was so strong I thought there was going to be a link with Phoenix. (But no.)

To me it looks like creative exhaustion:

I totally agree that the first half of the episode had a strong “classic Who” favor. I had the same thought while watching it.

Cool! Hope the show handles this well.

It... really reminds me of Johnny Mnemonic.

I agree with the point that it makes sense for Kenobi not to tell the truth at that particular moment. But the scene in Jedi would have worked better if Kenobi had explained this directly.
