I hope that’s not indicative of how you make decisions generally. The greatest parts of the show were still ahead. And I adored Coach. Wow.

I think he meant "most recent", when he said "last".

Whew…I hope so

Yeah, it sure would be a pity if someone were to stop watching Cheers because of Woody Harrelson. Now Kirstie Alley I could understand!

 

[MaineBoy]

Expected better, maybe 7/10.

that’s disappointing to hear. I’m a huge military history fan but never read the book and only saw the last 3 minutes of the original movie. I was stoked for this version but think you may have saved me 2 1/2 hours - which I appreciate.

Although I enjoyed the story line where she hits rock bottom….

No, please watch and give me your thoughts. I may have expected too much!

ok, will give it a try, previews looked good

It was a good show overall with a sprinkling of excellent episodes scattered throughout its run.

I just watched ‘The Sith Lord’ episode and felt it was by far the best episode so far. It was great that they got Liam Neeson and Ian McDiarmid to return to voice their characters.

I also liked how they answered a bunch of questions from the sequel trilogy as well as showing Dooku’s reasoning and motivations.

I was very impressed with this episode, hopefully it’s this good moving forward.

Tales of the Jedi have been a better sequel of The Clone Wars, after only six episodes, than The Bad Batch. I have been glad how much more context they have added to Count Dooku than what was shown in the original animated series.

I confess being an Ahsoka Tano junkie. The character embodies an entire Star Wars sub-universe all of her own.

Spoiler

Audiences get to see Christopher Lee play Dooku at least in Episodes II and III, although as a Sith Lord instead of as a Jedi. Not only were we introduced to another former Jedi Master who turned to The Dark Side, we also discovered Yoda was his master when Dooku as a padawan. Kenobi and Dooku also tell us the latter was once Oui-Gon Jinn's Jedi Master.

Padawans have been one of the main central elements of the entire saga. Episode IV had Obi-Wan Kenobi confess to Luke Skywalker that Luke's father Anakin was his old padawan. Later in the same movie, Darth Vadar announced he was once a rogue padawan of Kenobi's. During the movie, Kenobi served as Luke's "introductory" Jedi Master but it was not until Episode V when Skywalker Jr. is matched with Yodu as his official Jedi Master.

Episode I went retro and we found out Oui-Gon Jinn took bad Ani as his padawan even though he was already training Kenobi. Jumping ahead to the Episodes VIII and IX, we are told Luke was both Leia Organa, Ben Solo AND Rey's Jedi Master.

The Clone Wars birthed Ahsoka's story in the midst of all the above separate from all three movie sagas. It's like everyone had a padawan (or an apprentice for that matter) EXCEPT Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka's character interests me so much. I mean. How does a person feel about a mentor, who was a great friend and hero of the Republic, who transforms into an evil enemy of the entire galaxy?

Sure, Kenobi can relate but Obi-Wan was a father figure of Anakin/Darth. Ahsoka was a youth who eventually experiences the exact same thing but from an opposite perspective of Kenobi's. Add in the fact that she MUST be a great Jedi trained by a great Jedi. I take all this into account while being utterly amazed she is completely absent from all nine Star Wars films (not counting Rogue One and Solo).

Man. Thinking about all this makes me want to see Rosario Dawson's Disney+ series even more than before. And I really REALLY want to see that show.

Out of curiosity, why are you an Ahsoka Tano junkie; what is the appeal for you?

My apologies. I get long-winded at times.

Ahsoka Tano was a previously unknown character, who was tutored by, arguably, the most pivotal fictional individual within George Lucas' story. In my opinion, Ahsoka is just as important a character as those who became legendary worldwide pop culture icons via the movie franchise over the decades. My personal interest is watching her popularity grow as she transitions from animation to live action.

Yea, she is pretty cool. I am looking forward to her series as well. Hopefully she makes some appearances in mandalorian season 3.

Wife made me watch that HBO series The White Lotus. In Season 2 and catching up on Season 1. You can watch each season independently.

Gotta say, that is one trippy show. Prob 8/10 so far. Can get a little boring.

 

[DallasEast]

It is four episodes in and the plot is dragging a bit but I am enjoying The Peripheral. It amazes me Chloë Grace Moretz is 25. She has grown up in front of the camera. She will have a long and critically acclaimed career in my opinion.

I do wish she and a couple of other cast members would drop their Southern drawl. She and the others are trying but it is pretty bad, even for a Georgia-born like Moretz.

I absolutely love that show. It's so different. After watching it I realized she was in Carrie and Kickass. She's quickly becoming my favorite actress.

I watched season 1 and wondered where the hell it was going the whole time but it was a fun ride, trippy is an apt description.

Steve Zahn, who I have always liked since Treme, helped make it because he was as lost as I was.

Ok, so I'm sure I've missed this topic somewhere in the last 226 pages (lol), but has anybody watched Titans? I love the DC comic universe, so I'm intrigued, but curious on your thoughts!

I have. I enjoy it myself. I would recommend the show.

Watched Weird The Al Yankovic Story on the Roku Channel last weekend. I thought it was great. Very much worth the watch.

 

[CouchCoach]

The 335 was a pleasant surprise as I was basically just checking it out and stayed for the end. It's a secret agent action film with female lead actors who were very good in their roles but I have yet to see Jessica Chastain in anything she doesn't do well and Diane Kruger was also good. Good action scenes and plenty of bullets.
