    I don't think that's the end. That pretty clearly sets up a second season.

    And Mushroom. Also as told by Mushroom, lol. Who doesn't even appear in the show.

    The story is based on two in-universe "histories" and snippets of things in the Ice & Fire novels. The story as we know it isn't considered to be something that can be trusted as accurate.

    I now see how this story is going to play out over four seasons. The pacing of it. I'm not sure I like what they're doing with Daemon. Based on this episode. Season 1 Daemon pretty much fit what I saw the character as, but I'm not on board with where they're taking him now. Assuming they continue in this direction with him (which they may not!). To be specific, I don't like the idea

    That's been Star Wars since Return of the Jedi, which I feel is better regarded than it should be.

    You know, I thought this was going be a story from the Sith perspective. Or, at least, from the dark side. I thought that's how they were selling it, and we got all of one episode of that. Outside of the one Sith-centric episode (which I really dug), the show has fluctuated between ok to forgettable. Sure, it's better than Boba Fett and Obi Wan, but that's a low bar. Outside of Andor, the Star Wars shows have really felt hamstrung. Even Mando as it's gone on. Not just by their runtime and budget, but by the small part of the sandbox they're actually allowed to play in. The Feloni-ization of Star Wars. Everything must tie into the same story, mostly in support of Clone Wars in some way or form. They have a huge SW EU/RPG nerd showrunnung Acolyte and they could have done something really interesting there. Something new, something that's outside of the Feloni box. But instead we got another show really seems to tie back into the Anakin/Prequels/Clone Wars story.

    Hell of a cast. Really looking forward to this. And I really hope it has a good script.

    So, the vibe I'm getting from the trailer is that Pedro is playing a good man put in a bad situation. He doesn't seem like the antagonist.
  9. Duke Togo
    Rewatched the trailer and WTF is with the modern music? What a poor choice.

    I'm 100% on board for Gladiator II.
  11. Duke Togo
    Wow, what an episode!
  12. Duke Togo
    It... wasn't bad? Certainly better than the barely lukewarm Coming 2 America.

    Episode 3, the show continues to fire on all cylinders this season. If I had one complaint this episode, it's that
  14. Duke Togo
    Because

    He's a Sith Lord. So says the actor. https://ew.com/the-acolyte-episode-5-bloodbath-villain-reveal-cover-story-exclusive-8665633

    Leslye Headland Is a big Star Wars EU and RPG nerd. I like that she brings stuff like that in.

    Really solid second episode, with some real excitement at the end. I haven't reread Fire & Blood or The World of Ice & Fire in a long while, so I'm enjoying being surprised by things I only half remember, at best.
  18. Duke Togo
    Thought this was an excellent start to the second season. And I much prefer the new opening over the one used in season one, which I always found hard to follow.

    So, buy this pricey edition or miss out. Assuming the discs come in their own case and aren't somehow stored in the book, I guess you could recoup some of your expenses by reselling the book and whatnot on eBay.

    Fandom: "Do something original!" "Must have characters I know!" 🙄
  21. Duke Togo
    Good episode. More pieces to the puzzle, but we're still missing some key pieces, I think.
  22. Duke Togo
    Kaiju No. 8 I rather enjoy it.
  23. Duke Togo
    Not to cross franchises, but the Jedi come off as almost Vulcan in this show. There's an air of superiority and righteousness about them that is not flattering, which I think is very intentional. I don't think we're supposed to like them very much. Though, I do like Sol a lot.
  24. Duke Togo
    LOL, yeah, no.
  25. Duke Togo
    No thank you. I'm not paying that much for a bunch of extras I don't want. I just want the discs.
