I walked out the theater and overheard someone say something that perfectly summed up my feelings:

Not as weird as the pledge of allegiance. Moved to the US as a kid and first day of school I thought I was in some totalitarian dystopia.

That’s right. Highlander 2 never existed as so many people think. He won the prize. Movie is over. Blessed be to Freddie Mercury. There can be only one!

I just hope they don’t undercut Sito Jaxa’s death in Lower Decks by revealing Locarno managed to save her

Anyone who didn’t grow up on the OT trilogy have rankings like this.

I’m the same age, and didn’t really get into Star Wars until the prequels (My dad tried to get me to watch Empire when I was like 9 and I was having none of it), but even though I liked them as they came out, I’d also watched the OT by then, and could tell they were generally better movies. My only real complaint at…

I doubt they would resurrect Sito, though there had been ideas that Sito could have survived that were rumored as part of DS9 or Voyager plots back in the day.  But we’ll see!

Locarno is the season’s big bad?? Really? Do you think they got to this episode and were like, oh that’d be cool, or planned it from the beginning.

Nooooo, don’t do it! Don’t spend your precious purple coins on 1ups. Keep about 300 or so stocked for badges and wonder seeds, and spend the rest on Standees. Purple coins are *much* slower to farm late game, and you’ll need a whole heck of a bunch of them to round out your standee collection if you’re going for all 6…

OK, so what’s the legitimate point of buying this? The article casually mentions dropping $170 on something without giving a single non-criminal thing to do with it.

If nothing else, I think partnering with Disney has forced the show to have a more regular production schedule and removed it as a political chess piece.

The torries in Great Britain are nearly as obsessed with crippling the BBC as Republicans are over here about trying to murder PBS, so every time they tried to…

One of the completion medals is rewarded for all 144 standees, but they don't really change gameplay at all or unlock anything further (beyond being able to post the different figures in multiplayer).

It ends up costing way more than 1500 because when buying the random standees you can get duplicates. For 30 flower coins your can get a guaranteed new one though. I would say that it likely takes around 2500 - 3000 flower coins if you’re careful and exit the game if you waste too many in a row on duplicates. It costs…

Losing all lives in this game kills the player in real life. Yet another way Nintendo broke from prior entries in the series. 

I haven’t even beaten the game yet and I keep capping on Flower Coins even with buying all the Wonder Seeds and power-ups that I can find. I bought most standees as well. This game hemorrhages more Flower Coins onto players than I know what to do with.

You should buy standees, not lives.  If you want to 100% the game, you have to buy all 144 standees, and there aren’t a ton of extra coins unless you’re somewhat careful with resetting if you get too many duplicates.  It really sucks if you end up finishing everything else in the game and having to grind for hours…

The other change I strongly recommend is turning off the prompt to change badges each time you restart a level.  If you want to, you still can by pressing R, but it removes an irritating step I almost never wanted.

I don’t get the hate about the voices. I mean sure they’re kind of bit odd, but among the arrangement of bouncy sound effects and jazzy soundtracks, they rather blend well and aren’t much of annoyance.

the flowers are cool and they are my friends. i will never silence them.
