I keep meaning to take a closer look at Wynonna Earp. I read the original comics when they came out (though I’m given to understand the show is more based on a reboot of the comic, I think?), but I admit when I first heard about the TV series I kinda wrote it off as someone wanting to do a Supernatural knockoff.

I remember my roommate and I seeing one of the show’s early big missteps was sidelining and killing D.L. so early just for Niki’s sake (and in a flashback that took place between seasons, at that). Like, that really put us off at the time. We didn’t like Larter as an actress, and we didn’t like her characters. It…

Oh, that’s more than fair. The construction of the sequence is amazing. Of course, one could argue it’s not a coincidence that the best part of the movie also has the least amount of dialogue. But yes, the ‘Duel of the Fates’ fight is probably one of the high points of the franchise. In the recently-released final…

And even then, the Duel of the Fates is fun to watch, but in the larger context of the movie it doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense. Like, Darth Maul has nothing more effective he could be doing with his time, skills, and magic powers than just having a video game boss fight with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan?

Look, I heard it from people who heard it from sources they weren’t linking at the time. Whatever sort of ‘gotcha’ you’re trying to get from me, I give you permission to pretend you got it so we can move on with our lives.

I can’t remember where I read it, but I seem to recall that when the service first premiered folks in the know said that it was always part of the plan that they start it at a really low price to get people on-board and then raise it a bit as the production of original content really gets underway.

I’m actually kind of looking forward to this, having tried oat milk with a couple of other things and enjoying it then.

While I get the appeal of these, if I ever got stuck in one I think I’d probably be willing to keep it going as long as the next person in line hasn’t gotten anything bigger/more expensive than what I already have, especially if I’m paying with cash or a gift card or something. (Though depending on my mood, if the…

Not on-hand, this is through-the-grapevine stuff. Google doesn’t turn up anything clear, so I’m probably wrong, and I’m honestly not invested enough one way or another to worry about it. He’s probably just trying to milk WB for all their worth in retaliation for them forcing him off the movie in the first place.

Finishing special effects and apparently there’s a lot of weird legalities involving whether or not it still counts as the same movie for the purposes of various union crew contracts and whatnot. Also, reportedly, with the pandemic shutting down so much of Hollywood, Snyder is finding ways to deliberately create new…

To be fair, aside from exuding a certain ‘cool’ factor that a lot of people latched onto (namely, getting away with kinda-sorta talking back to Vader), he does do one useful, worthwhile thing in the original trilogy — but that thing happens to be pretty boring, visually. He’s the one who tracks the Falcon when they…

My late mother, mostly out of laziness, would sometimes get me a fruit basket at Christmas. I remember one year where the basket came with this ridiculously good pears, and I’ve always regretted not going through the packaging to find what variety they were. But by the time I’d thought to do so, the basket and tags…

This wasn’t even the weirdest example of an ultraviolent R-rated movie becoming the source material for a cartoon. The same thing happened to RoboCop.

Bro.

If you’re anti-vax because Bill Gates “stands to profit from it greatly” or because he is part of the ID2020 Alliance, I don’t know what to say to you.

It’s probably about as safe as Ring and Echo devices themselves.

Personally, I thought she fit pretty well for an older, somewhat harsher version of Ahsoka. But we can agree to disagree.

Ah, see, I didn’t know anything had been said yet about season 3. I still wouldn’t rule it out for down the road (or another series altogether).

Didn’t Rahul admit that was all a joke, though?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the show resolves its main plot with Moff Gideon and comes back to the Thrawn-Ezra quest for the following season. It wouldn’t be the first time Dave Filoni has used a later series to pick up plot points from an earlier one and run with them.
