They are?
Filoni & Favreau have Mando/Ahsoka and the related era.
Andor is Tony Gilroy (newish, new with Rogue One), and Andor is a new approach.
Obi-wan Kenobi was someone new, but an old concept.
Acolyte is someone new, but with a new concept.
I’m not sure the plan with the Rey films, but that is likely someone new. (Although I expect a traditional concept.
I’m happy to have some execs move aside, but I think we’ve got new folks coming in.
The Torbin scene/timeline was confusing.
Sol says he’d like to talk to Torbin.
Sol is taken on a long indirect path to Torbin.
Long enough that Osha can get there first.
The mind trick on the crazy/unstable man was great, just stop babbling nonsense and tell me the truth.
I’m bummed that streaming shows on Disney premiere at “primetime”.
I’d love to watch during lunch or after work but nope… Gotta wait till 9pm (EST)
I know HBO does it but they also have a real TV channel, but also I hate it there too.
I’m a big Dave Filoni fan but I’ve been iffy with the handling of Book of Boba/Mando season 2/Ahsoka.
The darksaber storyline had so much build up but then just sort of fizzled out.
The Mando reunion happened in a different show.
Boba had weird motivation.
Ahsoka was all set up with new questions, but then just swaps character locations and fizzles.
I’m still in, but they need to take a moment.
It’s a 4-part miniseries, although I would expect more if successful.
Darth Jar Jar is alive.
Agreed, the Morgan episodes were too late, her story is over. I do think in a grand sense of the universe these stories are cool, but they needed to come out years ago.
Glad to see Barriss back, I wish the Inquisitors weren’t so comically evil since it makes Barriss look extra stupid.
Or maybe they could had her truly be overcome with rage/anger and only find her way back herself. Maybe she does some unnecessary killing, but in doing so realizes her own mistakes.
Either way I hope she pops up again, even if it’s years from now.
I really enjoyed these stories, but I wish we had gotten to see them before the Ahsoka live action series.
I also enjoyed seeing Thrawn, gave me further admiration for his character.
I agree, but that’s such a tough thing to read.
If you had asked me before either came out Andor or Ahsoka I’d have picked Ahsoka 10 out of 10 times.
That isn’t to say Ahsoka was bad, it was just fine, but Andor was absolutely amazing.
This show would be my third pick, so based on how bad I am at guessing this will be amazing.
It’s bulletproof not soupproof.
Dang, I was hoping to adventure with this group a bit longer.
Curious to see where Omega ends up.
And of course, Ventress.
To add, that same season they already killed Glenn.
He dies, but the show doesn’t really address it. The characters do, but the show at this point was SUPER clear when a character died. Extra slow motion, special music, the works. Then they spend like 6 episodes with him dead, but you really just don’t believe it. Then they reveal how he survived and it’s just ridiculous, it’s basically “the zombies just sorta give up for some reason”. (Or is it like a dozen headshots, I forget at this point).
Anyway, ALL that happens, then the season ends on a big cliffhanger. Unfortunately the tension is all wrong. The show was moving at a glacial pace where basically if you watched the season opener, the mid-season finale (see, above) and the finale, you’d be mostly caught up on the story. And so this finale robbed us of that too.
Also the Internet was full of spoilers saying it was Glenn (from the comics) such that all excitement was lost between seasons.
It seems like a Vulcan Mind Meld can cure just about anything.
In “Flashback” from Voyager Tuvok melds with a close family member, in this case Janeway, to fix his disease.
In “Endgame” from Voyager it is implied that a meld will cure Tuvok’s disease.
In “Sarek” from TNG melding with Picard resolves Sarek’s emotional control.
I would expect rather than a sex industry they have those that specialize in mind melds. Perhaps a specific family member.
Having a backup option would still be logical, so random sex is still on the table.
So, working backwards, thirdly, the books are excellent. The first three are by far the best and cover up to season 3/4ish. The next two are good, but also different. The show also really starts to diverge so kinda up to season 6, but only in the broadest sense.
In either case if you’re going to read the books, read them all for full background. If course we’re still waiting on at least 2 more new books, sooooooo you might be waiting a while/forever.
Second. The House of the Dragon TV series. I was also hesitant to watch it, but it really is great. It’s not perfect, but if all we ever got was this one good season, I’d be happy. If season two ends up sucking, bummer, but at least we had one good one.
And firstly. King Bran. The biggest issue with Season 8 is that it just rushes to the ending. Bran has the best story? He is a weird raven character now. What does that mean? Who understands what that means? What did he actually do? What about Meera?
But what if we knew more about this three eyed raven character? What if we understood their goals? What if they foresaw the events of the series? What if they caused, or guided them? Hodor’s purpose was to eventually save Bran. To do that Bran would have to make Hodor, Hodor. What if he helped ensure other events also took place? What if Bran being “King” was a setup from the beginning?
If all that is properly explained, I don’t really have an issue with King Bran.
Of course that only explains it for the viewer. To King’s Landing Bran is just some weird kid.
So let’s change Bran’s role slightly. The White Walkers are going to attack. The only way to win is with a united Seven Kingdoms. By the time Dany arrives the kingdom is largely united. However Dany has dragons. Can Bran convince Dany to give everything up and focus on the White Walkers? We see hints of this in the show. If the White Walker threat isn’t fixed in one episode, what happens?
There are multiple seasons of story, and that’s just Bran.
They key points of the show can still work (some of them at least), but they need time. Think of the Red Wedding. Arya’s seasons long journey is nearly at an end. Caitlyn and her negotiating is paying off. Robb is about to achieve victory. Three seasons of setup, executed perfectly.
Realistically, looking back, season 8 was never going to be able to wrap things up. Even less so with a reduced last season.
The show runners fucked up and they fucked up big time.
What’s the catch?
So you’ll just answer ANY three questions I have truthfully?
Wait… Did those first two count?
This is the biggest one for me.
At some point I stopped using Reddit on the web/desktop and just started to use it on my phone/tablet. I tried different apps, but settled with RIF. Every few years I’d try different apps, but always found my way back to RIF.
Reddit did a bunch of stupid things over the years, but I could happily ignore them and continue to use RIF.
When RIF went away I had to find a new app. The official app wasn’t going to work for me. Old Reddit on the phone wasn’t going to work for me.
Luckily there are plenty of Lemmy apps. I’ve settled on Voyager (wefwef) but Boost seems fine too.
Sure, the content has changed a bit, but it’s close enough.
For me a good app is key. Lemmy has good apps. I use Lemmy.
So many apps redesign themselves and assume I’ll get used to it. In actuality they cause me to wonder, “Do I still need you?” and start looking for alternatives.
That isn’t to say that apps can’t ever redesign themselves, but so many redesigns seem to follow the latest trend and don’t demonstrate a clear understanding of their users.
Chakotay: Welcome to the Maquis Resistance, are you spy?
Tuvok: That would be logical.
And the show is over before it begins.
Lol, I didn’t watch the video but it’s from a clickbait/spam channel.
