that episode was so great, Brener absolutely killed it with his big monologue too 

he was so great as Kanan, my favourite Star Wars character ever too

Jessie Ennis really carried this season single handedly. this cast is still great, but everyone else was sleepwalking at one point or another which is pretty understandable given how aimless some of the plotting was (I can’t believe we spent half the season setting up this dumb movie plot just to get it cancelled…

that Sidious vs Maul + Savage fight is absolutely insane. it’s nice to have one fight with no “good guy” per se because it really lets the audience just root for everybody involved to fuck everybody else’s shit up with maximum consequences

so we’re ignoring the literal best fight in the franchise (Maul vs. Ahsoka in the Siege of Mandalore) and including absolutely dreadful stuff like that eye-aching AOTC fight that feels like it goes on for hours huh. that is a choice

I get what you’re saying, but in my opinion it’s a quality game over quantity. I feel like I knew more about Bill and found her more fleshed out after 3 episodes than Yaz was after 3 years. I do applaud Chibnall for giving us more diverse faces on Doctor Who, but his era feels very performatively progressive while…

we literally got a male alien from the future and a woman of colour as his last primary companions, and they were fucking great, so I’m not sure this complaint really holds up now

its kind of funny that Moffat’s Doctor Who follows the reverse trajectory to his Sherlock, where it starts out insanely complicated and labyrinthine with Smith and then gradually peels back the layers until we're left with a fairly simple, character-focused, arc-light last few seasons with Capaldi, which is by far the…

it'd be hard to write a worse ending than the one this show gave us I guess. honestly it should have ended with Reichenbach Fall which was genuinely fantastic, but I'd watch a comeback if they fucked around and brought Andrew Scott back as Moriarty somehow. goddamn he was great

weird way to spell "season 6 is better than everything else except 2"

that's one of the only good episodes in s5 tho?

Brad is still great, mainly when he's messing with David but I agree that it doesn't really seem like there's much point having the testers in this show anymore

legitimately shocking. it's wild how this show only gives Rob one moment a season to remind us he's a genuinely good actor 

Beyond might straight up be my favourite piece of Matrix content. call me a madman, I cannot be swayed

very observant, the sacred and the propane

for what it's worth, 2018 is a genuinely great and entertaining film (Kills is uhh not either of those things). I think your approach is probably the best way though as Ends feels more like a standalone thing than the end of a trilogy 

which one is that? only one coming to mind is 4, which sets up Jamie to be the new Michael only for 5 to undo the reveal in the laziest way possible (and kickstart the worst run of movies in the franchise I might add)

I unironically like Halloween Ends. by no means a great movie, but it’s bold as fuck for a Halloween flick and I love that. it’s got one of the best kills of the year too

I honestly think Genevieve O’Reilly might give the best performance on Andor. the way she plays up the carefully constructed mask and then lets it slip just the right amount is truly incredible. I think about her delivery in that second scene with Luthen all the time, the way she goes from “do you have any idea what…

Cheese crying in the finale is my personal most devastating TV moment of the year, absolutely broke me
