The issue was Jenkins was given a ton more creative control and she wrote this screenplay. This was her first major picture writing credit in a decade--and she had like 5 other writers trying to fix her abomination of a script. (The first WW was not written by her) Essentially she's a competent...

And it does that fine--the show essentially emphasizes the human condition, our lack of knowledge and the inability to communicate efficiently through large systems ends up producing the opposite of desired results even though the inputs were desired. Its a tower of babel effect (Humanity...

Good episode...But god damn I fucking hate Belters. They are the fucking worst.

Yeah, because they died out as a format when TV became a thing. No reason to release serial short films if you can broadcast. However, that is the homage this stems from. The closest modern film adaptation would probably be the MCU. If Mando is being threatened by storm troopers, its not much...

In the Cannon Universe? No, not really. Mandalorians are probably the closest group to hold their own against the Jedi but powerful Jedi are as strong as a group of them. That being said, its probably skewing things to judge Luke as a typical Jedi. He's supposedly one of the strongest ones...

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad for having it. Turkey with cranberry's and gravy is some of the best shit on earth. That said, Turkey is for Thanksgiving, Christmas gets a Ham. This is known.

@ZyyzYzzy and @Kiroy : Game is a buggy mess, how can people enjoy a shitty, bug ridden game! Board full of people who devoted years to EverQuest, including Kiroy and Zyyz:

The difference is that its not girl power. Its just powerful characters who happen to be girls. Meanwhile, most of Hollywood has been creating characters that are powerful BECAUSE they are girls. Those two things are not at all the same. The latter is ridiculous and supremely hypocritical if...

I disagree, force flipping Yoda looked silly and imo further cheapened the whole idea of 'the force'. Go take a look at the finale of Mandalorian again. What don't you see? You don't see Luke flipping around like an autistic gymnast on coke. There is no dumb super speed force twirls and...

When I was watching Episode 2 and they were showing the drug pass offs while Amos was watching, it felt like people should start shouting "AMOS COMIN YO!" lol. Even the scene with Amos and the other dude felt like Stringer/Avon in the apartment before they betrayed each other. Fuck even Burrel...

Keeping the close up head shot in while she's running is one of the most bizarre directorial choices someone could make. It is literally something out of a comedy.

Compare that to a scene where multiple people were actually running as fast as cars and it looked amazing. Because they didn't green screen it. Instead, the guys were literally running as fast as cars by being pulled on a belt. The Wonder woman scene looks like garbage pure green screen...

Yes, I realize that. I was pointing out adventure serials were never known for good writing. They are heroic, engaging adventures that change from week to week. They are supposed to be a little hokey and largely devoid of cynicism. The show masters that form of storytelling. Star Wars should...

Imagine if in Ashoka's show they go back to the time-bullshit-place and see the sequel future and this is confirmed in a single line like "this could have been the future had you died, Ashoka", in a "it's a wonderful life" style episode, before Disney tosses it all away and labels it "alternate...

Amazing episode. Was nice to see Luke being the wise, confident, brave Jedi Master we remember...and not the cowardly, cynical piece of shit Ryan made him into. This show is actually making me like Star Wars again by unshitting on the characters.

No, its an adventure serial with more money. Which is LITERALLY what Star Wars was, and is was always meant to be. Which is why people love it.

There seems to be am amazing correlation to how close actresses were to a certain media mogul with profound sway over various awards ceremonies and how many awards an actress received.

It probably wasn't the actor in the suit for this episode, except the close up scenes of the face.

I don't know, I think open world games lately have been going in the wrong direction for that very reason. A lot of those "dynamic" events are so on the rails that they choke the life out of the world. Older GTA games had far more simplistic narratives for each NPC but the player could interact...

On a 1080 monitor, a GTX 1070 should do fine with this on high, right? Seeing mixed results (but I think people having problems are playing on 1440). Might just wait, have been waiting to build a new rig until Nividia gets their shit together and the current bullshit with GFX cards is not so crazy.

Out of morbid curiosity I watched the Episode where Discovery arrives on earth..LOL. None of this shit makes sense. We literally, right now, have the ability to communicate with probes as far out as Titan quite easily. The idea that some future advanced tech society with living ships and...

Well, I've been waiting for this for years now--took a Pandemic to finally make them bite the bullet. But good riddance. The only reason theaters existed at all in the first place, after all, was because you needed to physically lug data around in massive reels and that shit was hard--so you...

Yeah, this is exactly what I said to my wife. If it was a Retcon, it actually made sense. The wider culture of Mandalorians clearly disavowed Jango's sect. So saying he was some asshole who was off on his own wasn't a lie, he just didn't explain how big Jangos group was.

Rookie? It was pretty well established he's been hunting for years, or even decades. The Empire came to him because he was the best in the system.

Its more than mounts here. The ships actually (Theoretically) work within functional systems. So a ship with a shower and toilet will keep your hygiene up, a ship with a galley can keep a crew's food/drink meter up. The size of your equipment matters so storage matters--and things are local so...

Black AQ mount>All. The epeen flex on that was massive, still remember crashing our server ringing that damn gong.

Actually for me, its completely believable they are still raking in cash. Just researching the game and seeing how pretty it is and how amazing the systems sound, made me want to buy a ship just to be ready for the off chance it gets completed. And that's with me being an extreme jaded MMO vet...

Have actually been looking into this again, completely blocked it out in 2015 (fucking lol). The game looks impressive as fuck. Its exactly the kind of game that you'd get if if you got a bunch of super nerds who wanted to make the ultimate MMO-SpaceSim-Survival game together. Literally every...

Ashoka doesn't really fit a Mary Sue mold. Plenty of people thought she was a little shit and didn't like her (A huge sign of a Mary Sue is everyone adoring her). And imo, she did have flaws--she was impetuous and naive and those flaws did actually cost her at times, all the way up to forcing...

Ashoka always had trouble with "named" Mandos. And she seemed to do reasonably well against his tricks, including grapling and flame thrower. The thing with him is he's clearly had 20+ years of combat experience, and he's been pushed to fight constantly--so even if not against a Jedi I can see...

Yeah, that was a surprising line because...

You can tell Filoni 'gets' star wars. The gun slinger poses, and western "man with no name' shots in the mist were spot fucking on the kind of imagery we should be seeing in Star Wars (When Mando was walking out into the forest, Ashoka was waiting on the street as the magistrate came out and...

Can you though? I haven't read the books but from what I understand--they still haven't revealed the two big mysteries from the books. Who were the gate builders, and who or what killed them (Potentially some extra dimensional aggressors is all that's known, right?) I like the characters in the...

Suck it Trebek! (Seriously, this blows. RIP)

Wife and I both thought this, lol. They were the above ground ones. God damn that game had so many problems but it was probably the MMO with the most potential in the last 2 decades. =-/ Miss playing it.

I agree with this, but wanted to point out the complexities at play behind the May/June statements. Because Fauci said all the way up until very early June that they were hopeful summer would help; but mid april he also began saying "don't take it as an absolute". It wasn't until the rise in...

You know, I really do wish you'd operate in good faith sometimes. What Lurking just did is invaluable. I learned something. I would never be angry at someone for that, its the sole reason I debate. Instead of doing this, just go to another quote after researching a little and actually try to...
