@RogerRoger to be honest I think your opening sentence sums up my actual feelings on it. I enjoyed it because, star wars, but storytelling wise it was just about okay. I can definitely see things really ramping up now
I was extremely disappointed to see the Tuskens killed. Thought Boba having a bond with them was going to be a big part of this story and I loved it, such a shame about that! Yeah that's what I was referring too, the chase scene, thought all of it looked out of place but not in a good way. But every show has its hiccups
Danny Trejo being in the show though was just amazing to be fair! Get some more Rancor development along with TBB!
@RogerRoger Yep, the reason I plumped for this season was because it has the remaster of Shada, the unfinished story written by Douglas Adams. I think a couple others have new special effects too, and the scenes I’ve seen from YouTube makes them look really natural. Nothing like the dodgy Star Wars touch-ups that look a bit out of place! I’ve almost finished season 16 now, which has been surprisingly fantastic since it didn’t have that great a reputation. It was the first time they tried a serialised story so with Flux last month, it was being talked about a lot.
@RogerRoger I feel like Season 16 in particular you’d really enjoy. If you were ever wanting to catch a Tom Baker story, I’d recommend The Ribos Operation over most of the stone cold classics as it might not be as serious as Genesis of the Daleks or Pyramids of Mars but it’s just very well written fun!
Just finished watching Lost in Space season 3 on Netflix. I honestly felt like it was a slog in the beginning but after a while it became more enjoyable to watch and the ending was great. Apparently this was the final season of the show and I'm glad that it ended on a high note. I remember watching season 1 when it came out and thinking it was so interesting because the series as a whole has the vibes of an 80s Spielberg movie. Lots of great actors as well, such as the one who played the protagonist in Black Sails and another who starred in House of Cards. All in all, great season and an absolutely outstanding show.
Found Peacemaker since it’s not on in the UK. It’s frankly unwatchable. I wasn’t that big on The Suicide Squad but bloody hell, James Gunn’s sense of ‘adult’ humour is the most laughably childish thing in the world. It’s one crap ‘crass’ joke after another. The plot of Peacemaker is farts and willies. That’s all it is. Farts and willies.
@RogerRoger thoughts on today's episode? Personally really enjoyed it and I'm very, very excited for next week!
@Gremio108 I get what you mean, last week was a big stumble for me. But this week was a great episode and sets up next week and the rest of the series very well. Any worries I had have truly been removed!
Finished Witcher season 2 on Netflix. A big improvement on the first season actually, a more coherent story and some great episodes in there. Just needs to not get bogged down in exposition going forwards.
@Keith_Zissou@RogerRoger I have a feeling it will be one of them shows where, after the final episode or two, we will look back on the rest of the season with much higher praise. The slow pace and arguably dull parts will, hopefully, all make sense in a big pay off.
@nessisonett Tbh my experience with Rabbids is limited to seeing a few short trailers and I don't think I know anyone who played the games
I'm willing to check out the Netflix show though - worst case scenario I'll waste however-long-an-episode-is of my time
Finished watching The Witcher season 2. Great season! Even though nothing really major happened this season, it's clear that they're building up for more eventful upcoming seasons and I can't wait for the next one! I also feel like I'm learning a lot about The Witcher universe: the characters, the politics and so on, and hopefully this knowledge will make things easier for me when I inevitably start playing the games.
@RogerRoger what an incredible episode. It is by far the most excited I've felt after the end of an episode this season. So, so well done. Love the fact they're incorporating the prequel trilogy. Like you, felt just like a kid again watching it. Overjoyed by what I was watching!
I was engrossed by the BD droid! It is unbelievably adorable, when it does it's little happy dance especially! So happy they've shown it live action. Does it also hint at Cal Kestis joining the live action fold?!
Bryce Dallas Howard really did an excellent job with this, I'd be happy to see her get a series of her own!
