  1. That's a good way of looking at it. We may not like where the sequels went, but that's not the entire SW universe. We certainly don't see any of Thrawn in the later time frame. I'm sure they'll be some nuggets throweing some bones towards the sequel trilogy, but the main story will hopefully keep it small and forgettable.
  2. Leave'm wanting more! Already up to 10 and I am sad. Five more episodes per season, just five more! Anyway, I watched 'Under the Cloak...' and 'Rhapsody' as a double feature, and really enjoyed both ends of the dramatic/whimsical spectrum that was displayed. This crew really can handle it all! Seeing the musical numbers was like watching one of those movies from the 30s and 40s, and I really liked the explanation for it. I also liked how the Klingons felt dishonored by singing their feelings. Thinking about it, I'm surprised they were able to function without killing each other! Then 'Under the Cloak...' That was a good one! And very ambiguous at the end as to What the Heck Happened?! Did Mbanga murder him? Did Chapel lie about what she saw and didn't see? They certainly lied about who owned that knife! Definite total gray-going-on-black area. Not to say that the guy didn't deserve it, but there had been better ways up until that point to handle the situation, but there was clearly a lot of stress and PTSD going on. What a way to leave it too. Now, I just need more of those types of episodes rather than too many fun ones. They did teas in the premier that there was growing tension with the Gorn, but then there was nothing else, which is a shame.
  3. Just finished watching Secret Invasion and *except for a few points, I liked it. I'm not much for espionage shows, but this was pretty good. Good action and characters, Fury definitely looked down and trodden. I liked G'iah, though I think they could have had more of her and Talos together. I felt Gravik was a good antagonist, though I felt the fight at the end robbed him of his character. If G'iah could be fighting in her human guise then so could Gravik. Doing it this way, they should have had more of him looking like a Skrull than a human, to keep less of a disassociation with how he looked at the end. Sonya is awesome! If she's a 'stand-in' for Fury, then that's great cause she is a bad-ass! And I liked how Fury got his groove back on at the end. Overall, a good show. *That the Skrulls could not find a new home in the entire universe is too far fetched. We are shown a universe teaming with life and life-bearing planets. Yes, the Skrulls have a bad rep, but there should have been somewhere out there where they could have found a place. But then again, apparently, they only tried for two years... You have to give it more time than that! Just off the top of my head, I would have had them find a world and start to get settled. Then the Snap** happened and with Danvers too busy to keep watch over the Skrulls, they get attacked, either by the Kree or another race either blaming them somehow or for revenge. The new Skrull home world gets blitzed and the refugees sneak back to Earth. Kind of easy after the Snap and the chaos it caused. But they are frightened even more now of reprisals and angered over losing another world and more people, so they end up being more fanatical and militaristic and seeing enemies everywhere. This makes them easily led by Gravik who now just wants to take Earth, more in a need to do Something rather then seeing more of his people becoming disaffected and dying off. Go from there... **I hate the Blip. It sounds stupid. Snap sounds so much better and it's actually in line with the actual event.
  4. Nice! I'm in the minority in that I did like 1984 a whole lot, and am certainly hopeful that Gadot's WW can continue on the big screen.
  5. I'm odd-guy out and thought it was (without shame) pretty good! I had fun watching this movie. The only problem I had was that Batman and Supergirl were killed in the end. Repeatedly. It could have been saved with the original ending but they didn't do that either. h well...
  6. Sounds like they got your back!
  7. I still watch that movie. Despite a name like Pee-Wee, Reubens had a really big impact, and all for the better. Hope he's having a blast on Reuben's Great Adventure!
  8. I don't have any truck in this, but there is then clearly a disconnect between the text and the diagram. Counting the missile pack example, that is total of 20 in a pack, with 16 packs. that does equal 320. The text however, states only 90. So the answer is clearly a distortion within the Anime Layer between reality and 'toon...
  9. If they ever did a sequel, I'd want to have Rachel Weisz back in it as well.
  10. Not for every movie or show in production, and that doesn't take into account rewrites during shooting that the writer's are under contract to perform and supply. And yes, perhaps one show is getting wrapped up, but being part of a Union means that when the other guy in your Union strikes, you strike too, whether the show you are on is done or not.
  11. Bring on the Supercat!!
  12. We all need that Meltran!!😁
  13. Takes a damn steady hand!
  14. What a great mascot @derex3592! And your sub is looking real good. In a couple of shot there, it looks like it is floating above the mat!
  15. That sub is really looking good @derex3592.
  16. Glad to hear things are finally getting better for you! You've always hung in there like a champ, Mr. 'buzz. We've seen your imagination funded by dreams and pocket change, so it'll be great to see what you come up with now.
  17. It would fit in nice there!
  18. Well, after seeing that I'm betting David Ramsey really wishes he had put on that Lantern ring!
  19. Wow, that is awesome!
  20. I also hope not. As seen in Legacy, a program can come into the real world, but I doubt they would keep their super human abilities. At least not without a lot of suspension of belief. Plus, this has been done before. The movie was called Virtuosity. Plus, plus, this wouldn't feel like a Tron movie (to me) if we don't go into the computer.
