  • They’re definitely gonna delve more into Qimir, which I look forward to. Nobody else is interesting to me. To be fair most of the cast got killed off lol. That leaves a lot of room for more characters to enter the stage.
  • I realized it within the moment, and Mae’s ship crashing kinda confirmed to me that he was stopping Sol. The thing the finale really illuminated for me was that this might have been the first true instance of the Jedi order having lost their way, pu…

  • The biggest ding I give to 3 there’s literally no plot reason for Kirk to steal the Enterprise and head for Genesis. Why is he going there? He’s not even aware of the events that took place with Spock’s body not only being recovered but regenerated.…
  • 2, 6, 4, 3, 1 and 5 in that order for me.
  • I didn’t understand her at first until towards the end. Because of this being Star Wars, I would have assumed she’d stay on the path of good, but we see there’s a darker streak in her that she’s never been able to subside, all leading up to her even…
  • I think that’s kinda the point, there’s no one to really “root” for in the traditional sense, it’s more of a character study than good vs evil. I was surprised that the show would go this far to depict the Jedi as being such a flawed group, more ove…
  • I give it 5/10, four good episodes dragged down by four bad ones.
  • SUPERMAN IV was supposed to be a sort of return to the tone of the first two films, after the relatively disappointing SUPERMAN III putting off audiences with its emphasis on broad comedy. So it’s odd that they went with the Nuclear Man 1 that we se…

  • I’ve read the screenplay for it. It sounds like a potentially cute scene with Clark and Lacy, where for a brief moment they levitate on the dance floor. Though I can imagine the Nuclear Man 1 antics with him being picked up by a drunk girl coming of…
  • It’s a shame the whole nightclub scene is supposedly lost.
  • All the SUPERMAN IV deleted scenes with the original Alexander Courage score restored to them. This is how they should have been presented on the bonus features, instead of with that awful temp music that sounded like something from an old Nintendo …
  • Just learned that the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas is closed, the location James Bond stayed in during DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. I actually stayed in there on my one and only Vegas trip about a decade ago. Learned how to play the craps table at their ca…

  • Mutt wasn’t a great character but I never saw him as a detriment and I thought Shia really did the best he could with a character that became useless halfway. I will say though that I think Ford and Shia had strong chemistry during the first half of…
  • It would have to be a last desperate act of sorts.

  • Funnily, my only true experience as a fan seeing a film churn out after two years was with QOS. I didn’t become a fan until the summer of 2000, so the first three Brosnan films coming out every other year was something of being after the fact. I was…

  • Is there really a demand for a return to lighthearted Bond? I don’t mean for Bond fans but audiences in general. Could the Craig films have impacted how audiences view Bond in such a big way that there’s no going back?

  • Watching the first two episodes of S2 of PRODIGY. Nice to see Doc back, though Robert Picardo sounds different, kinda like how Armin Shimerman did on his LDS appearance. I didn’t actually give this show a shot until it hit Netflix. Being aimed at…

  • Clearly the best episode of the show, and that actor playing the Sith Lord is pretty damn good.
