Seriously. There has been rare a better episode than Heaven Sent. Perfect Capaldi usage.

Really? His second season, where he settled into the “aging punk rocker” persona, was amazing.

While I enjoyed Prometheus (I know, I’m an exception) I still feel that the approach to the Alien prequel was flawed and a missed opportunity. When the prequel was first proposed I imagined a a film with a structure similar to the first half of Wall-E, a story told from the point of view of the alien living in its…

If, by “back entrance” he means a series of films completely gutting the majesty and mystique of his seminal work, then yes, “back entrance” is indeed what it is.

Some day...it’ll be a Lifetime movie.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Disney likes to control the narrative on their making of their films, and alwas quash anything that points to conflict or discord behind the scenes.

I dunno. I thought the Geonosis battle looked like a PS2 game when I saw AotC in the theater.

And even before that, Hatch could have trash-talked Ron Moore and the re-boot from Earth to the Twelve Colonies and back again. He certainly had plenty of opportunity and encouragement, and it’s never hard to end up bitter AF in La La Land. A lot more passion projects end up in Development Hell or buried in mass…

Ah hell. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to interact with him a couple of times. Intense, but genuinely nice guy, and the latter is a rare quality among the performers I’ve met.

Casting sorted.

Yup. Heck, even if they’d wanted Hera to appear in the flesh, I think Vanessa Marshall would’ve still been the best choice. She’s done live-action acting before - never anything all that major, admittedly, but then, it’s not like a cameo from Hera would really constitute a major part - and she’d look the part just…

I feel like it’s the 90s again and I’m super excited at the USS Defiant from Deep Space Nine popping up on Star Trek: First Contact.

Maybe a Class Action against Disney with Captain Phasma.

Pfft. What they *should* have done is have everyone live, and then go back and digitally put them into Episodes IV-VI.

Mine, too. Did it usher in a new age of the genre? Cure diabetes? Put a man on Mars? Nope. But I sure as heck had fun watching it, which I did not expect going in.
