Even the people who enjoy the KJA books will admit they’re schlocky fan-fiction and not particularly deep or interesting. It’s like Dune, if it was turned into a cheesy ‘90s syndicated sci-fi show.

Ain’t nothing wrong with getting paid.

And after that there’s Children of Dune.

The clip, at least that opening clip, makes it sound a lot more lighthearted than genuinely being upset her cameo amounted to being quickly killed off

What was interesting about that scene was that Scarlet Witch killed each hero with their own signature power. And before you ask if Captain Marvel’s power is “being hit with a statue,” her actual powers include energy absorption, and Scarlet Witch absorbed enough of Captain Marvel’s energy/power that a statue could…

I was annoyed? Didn’t know that.

I was meant to be annoyed that a scene served the story being told, rather than stroking an actor’s ego or giving the audience another 10 minutes of mindless fanservice action to squee over?

Sam sticks it to Disney for using AI by dropping their review grade but doesn’t resign in protest over this site using AI articles. The outrage seems so performative and disingenuous.

All due respect, the whole dropping a letter grade for each episode thing comes off really petty and makes it kind of hard to take your reviews seriously.

So if Talos is dead, will there be equal outrage as there was to Hill dying?

I am no fan of AI but designers and storyboard artists still had to plot out the intro, tell the program what to render, and put it all together. Unless the title sequence is painted frame by frame, by hand, computer automation was involved somehow.

That shot buries the lead a bit. That highway on lothal had someone being chased by our first live action appearance of an E-Wing Fighter.

I’m guessing it’s Starkiller Base.

Can we talk about the mural in the style of the series animation? And how I’m not ashamed to admit it gave me literal goosebumps?

I feel like this has always been the MO of the MCU. For all the interconnectedness, the stories are self-contained to the point of stepping on each other’s toes fairly regularly (much like regular comics).

Paramount wouldn’t dare treat what it’s done for Patrick Stewart and Jean-Luc Picard as a tax break.

IMO casting this as Paramount taking a dump on Mulgrew is a bit of hyperbole.

there is no such thing as “basic personality traits” Each time a new writer touches them, they come whole new characters, new creations. All that came before is locked in their individual existence, and the new thing becomes a new existence.

I think part of the problem with restoring DS9 is the cost of having to redo all the space battle scenes from scratch because the original companies that did all those effects are no longer around. I don’t know if it’s a similar problem with Voyager.

The fact that Prodigy was yanked so quickly implies to me that a deal with another streamer is imminent, or at least very likely.
