It’s totally possible to imagine Star Wars beyond the Skywalkers. Rebels proved it was possible to make compelling, fun Star Wars stories without Skywalkers (even if Vader and Leia made cameos.) Check out some of the fan films, or even the games. The problem with the films is that the producers themselves don’t know…

Sure, whatever. But every CW superhero show is rooted in the Silver era, and Dick Donner’s Superman is very much a part of that era’s depiction of the man of steel. Also, all the stuff that @Angrier Geek said. btw, have I mentioned the time I escorted Margot Kidder to an awards show? Mental issues notwithstanding,…

Yeah, I get the frustration but it’s impossible to do The Flash without time-travel. It was so integral to the silver age comics, which seem to be influencing the show’s producers the most. Hey, at least we’re not being subjected to the cosmic treadmill every other episode, although it would be cool to reveal that…

What, no love for Timeless fans, who actually rented a helicopter to help get the show renewed? Successful or not, fandom doing so much to save a show, with the support of its actors and producers, is a win to me.

Starfleet Academy was pitched literally decades ago and Patrick Stewart as the head of a school for talented individuals seems like a stretch but, whatever. They should look to the comics for good ideas. And we’re still waiting for more “boldly going.” No more prequels! That said, I’d take one more prequel. Karl Urban…

The third and fourth books in the Jumper series were thoughtful, smart science-fiction aimed at teens, but engaging enough for adults. Cent was a terrific character, and her relationships with her parents and friends felt real and true. Okay, the trailer. Who the **** is Henry? Why change the name? Where are the…

Yes.

Star Wars only needs to do one thing to survive: make money. As long as each new film turns a profit, this brand name will continue forever. Quality is irrelevant. Creativity is irrelevant. Exploration of Star Wars mythology is irrelevant. Pandering to old fans is irrelevant. Disney could not care less. Money is…

She can think whatever she wants. But, if a misunderstanding of an established element of the franchise (and I’m including the animated series and books here) informed her performance, we never saw it. She didn’t sense any attacks; she certainly didn’t see a mutiny coming. She completely misread Poe and his plans.…

You do realize that trolling other people’s comments, in a feeble attempt to belittle their opinions, makes you look like a childish twat, right?

Wishful thinking. Respecting the force and being force-sensitive ain’t the same thing. Sorry, Laura.

I haven’t watched the “The Day of the Doctor” since its first run because it was so painfully obvious that Eccleston (as much as I loved the incredible John Hurt) was meant to be the War Doctor. From his first appearance, dressed black on black, he was blatantly broken, finding his way back, finding his ‘humanity’ so…

We’re honestly stuck (after watching s012e11) and can’t up the strength to continue with this show. This is particularly sad because Season One was awesome. I loved that they made so much of the ridiculousness of the comics make sense. They have a terrific cast (with one or two lame ducks) and a great premise; but the…

Big mysteries? Viewers were saying Section 31 was involved even before the first episode aired because of Discovery’s registry: NCC-1031. This was pretty much confirmed by the black badges and non-Starfleet behaviour. So next season it will be revealed that Starfleet knew about mirror Lorca, who was working with…

I’m torn. On one hand, Impulse, and its sequel Exo, were arguably better than the first two books in the series. The characters, especially Cent herself, were better developed, and the stories exciting yet age appropriate. I had problems with the sadistic violence in the 2nd book, which was not appropriate for the…

Y’know, I studied film and worked in the industry for 25 years and I can’t remember a film ever, and I mean EVER, necessitating and propagating so much elucidation and exoneration.

Excited? With serious reservations. I like the character, honestly, and Matt Ryan is great in the part. But, if this means another season of Damien Darkh, I’m done. I liked the sci-fi premise of the show in the beginning but, other than the time anachronisms, that seems to be less important now. If I wanted to watch…

As the series wraps, pieces come together beautifully, adding mythology and character development to the legacy of Star Wars and reminding me again just how much The Last Jedi sucked.

If the CEO of McDonald’s decided to switch to an all-vegetarian menu, he would also be “challenging” the restaurant’s fanbase. “But, it’s healthier!” he might exclaim. “And I don’t f’n care. I came for a Big Mac,” I might respond.

The criticism at the time - I saw ESB twice opening night and who knows how many times since - was minuscule and very different. We were mostly stunned by the dark ending, but no one was confused or bored. Was Luke really Vader’s son? Well, we all believed it was true, but that revelation, and Han Solo’s fate, built…
