I think the general agreement among folks who've played the Star Wars RPGs was "Yeah, that just earned him a Dark Side point." when Obi-Wan took out Darth Maul.
And I can't really speak for the others, but Mace Windu in particular was known — if not particularly respected by the other Masters — for his ability to skate…

He might care, he might not. I was discussing a hypothetical scenario, and meant it more in the sense that he's smart enough to do it if he really wanted to. Just because he's a sociopath doesn't mean he's going to go for the maximum body count.

And the Brig's had two on-screen memorial moments (one in this episode, one in 'The Wedding of River Song'), both of which scored at the very least least an emotional beat relevant to the episode at-hand.

Comic fans won't tolerate a character's personality changing unless it's magic or brainwashing or something that can be reversed later when the next writer comes along.

I absolutely loved the bit at the end with the Brigadier-Cyberman, I lost it at that (probably partially because I just recently saw the Daemons so he was fresh in my mind). But this is twice they've referenced the Brig's (and by extension, Nicholas Courtney's) passing, not counting the earlier appearance of Kate.

Yeah, but part of that deal included apparently drugging him and keeping him from the TARDIS. That's the sort of insurance the US might consent to.

"Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home." You have to say the whole thing. Even the "a pimp named" part.

IIRC, the aforementioned Kamino rebellion meant that the Empire couldn't trust the only people who knew how to properly use the cloning technology any more. They turned to recruitment rather than just put the cloning operation on pause while they waited for someone else to figure it out and make sure it wasn't all…

That's possible. It's also a shame, too, given how much of the plot is revolving around her so far.

A friend of mine and I thought that Sherlock looked a little run ragged this episode, a bit moreso than usual. Running theory is that he might've had a brief relapse (or engineered one to set up the 'creative differences' to get him away from MI6) and Kitty's a new sober companion.

I think she's just trying to keep herself in the loop and be in a position to save Varrick and/or help him destroy the spirit vine death ray when the time comes. But at the same time, she is genuinely frustrated with Varrick so she's tapping into that to sell her apparent betrayal of him. Her skill set is clearly more…

It felt like everything not directly tied to the Spirit of the Goat investigation was a competition between the characters to see who can be the most useless/annoying character in the precinct.

Wow, nothing about the training session at the end, which looks so much like a father and son hitting a few baseballs in the backyard?

I remember when there was a lot of debate on Twitter about when to introduce the action skill. According to the developers, you get it at level 3 because they want to make sure new players have the opportunity to learn the basic mechanics before getting into the trickier stuff.

Honestly, I found the oxygen system and the O2 kits to be kind of a disappointment, myself, but I call bullshit on giving the game grief over the action skills. Each of the prior games has multiple characters who summon turrets or pet robots or whatever.

I found the 'both side hired the same assassin' thing really obnoxious. They play it up like "Gotham's just crappy that way," but it only serves the purpose of being unnecessarily confusing (these mobsters are lazier than the cops, it seems) and making sure the episode has a single Villain of the Week. I mean, it's…

Ugh, Christ. With dozens of individual issues spread out among multiple different series, Marvel couldn't get this one right. I doubt a series of movies is going to handle the conflict any better, given that they're even more beholden to dumbing down the talking points and overloading the action scenes than the comics…

Given how often they have to reboot the Fantastic Four comic to get anyone to read it, can we even blame this on the movie business?

Am I the only one who thinks this is a pretty scathing review for a 'C' rating?

The phrase "never thought I'd read that in a high fantasy story" will run through your head often. May as well spend a few minutes just muttering it out loud to yourself before you start, to get it out of the way.
