With you on the “musical numbers”. I find musicals, and especially “musical episodes”, extremely corny and do not enjoy them. If it’s a scene that’s simply set to music that’s fine but I can’t stand characters actually singing their dialogue/thoughts. I get that that’s a me thing, which is fine, but that was a huge…

Nintendo Is Officially Making a Live Action Legend of Zelda Movie

I’m voting Nick Offerman for the role of Baylan Skoll.

I love that practically everything this review lists as a negative (including “Loki and Mobius, Space Time Buddy Cops”) is proven in the comments to be the stuff that everybody loves. It must be tough to write a review, be happy with it and submit it, and then see everyone telling you everything you got wrong and how…

the action was fantastic in this episode, just top notch

Ok. But a lot of people didn’t watch Clone Wars. I’m one of them. I’m absolutely fine with them including these “Mortis Gods” as part of Skoll’s story line but all it could have used a little set up.

I didn’t take the “choose to live” lesson as some grand lesson she needed to learn to fulfill her destiny or anything, I took it as a decision she needed to make given her current circumstances (she’s drowning). She was feeling like a failure (she failed in her training of Sabine, she failed to stop Elsbeth’s plans,…

Yup, in the late 80's the annual crossovers started off new and interesting and it’s just escalated to the point we’re at now where the crossovers are nearly constant.

I think you’re confusing Sam Altman with Sam Bankman-Fried. Not that that makes this any more of a good idea. Just back away slowly.

I’d literally never heard of “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” until your post. Not much of a marketing blitz for that one I guess.

I remember hearing The Treacherous Keith Reef with Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Flash back in the day.

predicting the economy would go bankrupt along with hyperinflation of the U.S. dollar

Or, it was worth $21B, he bought it for $44B (inflating it’s worth to $44B) and it’s since lost $20B leaving it back around where it started. This all just goes to show how valuations of publicly traded companies are bullshit and tell you nearly nothing about how well the company is actually performing (for its…

I know what you mean. I certainly don’t think it’s 100% one way or theother. He absolutely believes some of the stuff he says but I feel like there’ve been plenty of times where it’s clear he’s taking a position just for ratings/ideological reasons.

Older stuff. For one example, here he is at CPAC in 2009 taking conservative news outlets to task for lying and misleading reporting. He even compares them to the New York Times stating that although it’s “liberal” it cares about accuracy while conservative media does not. He even gets booed by the audience.

I don’t think “smart” has anything to do with it. He’s made comments in the past that really highlight his hypocrisy now. He was either lying then when his comments were heard by fewer ears or he’s lying now that he has (had) a larger platform making him rich (insert “why not both” meme). Sometimes a conman is just…

Just because something is unresolved does not make it a tease. They also didn’t explain what happened on the Jack Black/Lizzo planet after Mando left. Is that a “tease”? No, it’s not. It’s just the end of that particular storyline. That’s how the previous Mandalore threads ended up. The writers didn’t indicate that…

I never ended up watching season 2 (I thought season 1 was so bad that I had no interest in returning to the show) and I was VERY hesitant about watching season 3. However, once I heard enough people telling me it was good, I checked it out and I’m glad I did. It wasn’t the greatest Star Trek but it was good enough…

Typically, writers will tease things so that the audience knows that something needs to be resolved. In this episode, nothing was teased at the end. Everything was just resolved or ignored.

It wasn’t a bad episode, I’d give it a solid C, but I certainly wouldn’t describe it as “satisfying”. It felt like 30 minutes of (beautiful but bloodless) fighting followed by a frenzied 5 minutes of wrapping things up without really answering any compelling questions.
