  1. Good news, I was just getting ready to start re-watching the new show from the start when it got yanked from Netflix. This way I might be able to load a couple episodes on my table for watching on plane rides too.
  2. Such promise at the start of the season squandered. I actually deleted this week's episode before finishing it. Note for show writers and producers, heroes that can get out of ANY predicament (except where plot requires they not do so) are boring - even for kids.
  3. Anyone else watching "The Muppets". I'm really liking the show, before this I didn't like Rizzo at all (A rat? Come on now!) but the bits with him, Gonzo, and Pepe are pretty good. Just the right amount of snarky humour for a modern show without losing the sentimentality that make the Muppets the Muppets
  4. Top Secret - great stuff! Agreed about the Wolf bit being sloppy, and it was not the only sloppy thing about this episode. It was at least MUCH better then the last one - but that is damning with faint praise. Wolf Guy - Forgot to ask previously, is he the same actor from The Hobbit (snivelling toady dude in Lake Town)?
  5. Minlumunei?
  6. And Yoda is best referenced by Spock when accused of lying by Savick "I exaggerated"... Which begs the question, since both YODA and Obiwan knew Leia was the other child of Vader why they didn't start training her too.
  7. No need to kill them off, we already KNOW that Obi-Wan can lie through his teeth and keep a straight face...
  8. I can honestly say I would not.
  9. Whatz his name saying the same old spiel? No it does not count.
  10. Hey guys, any chance of keeping this to actual new when (yeah, yeah, I know) something actually happens? I'm not even going to bother going anywhere else for "news" on this topic and popping in here every update takes more effort than it is worth...
  11. Yoda actually could not defeat the emperor, he tried, failed, and knew he would never get another chance like that again - with just himself and the Emperor. The difference is the Republic (or whatever it is called) and Luke were more than powerful enough to stop the neo-empire if Luke had acted.
  12. Yes, actually it was. The neo-empire started due to Luke's ditching the scene (the only fully trained Jedi) to someone who had to be pretty evil and most likely a Sith. Plot wise it was easy to see why this was done - to give the new characters a chance to be the heros. For Episode 8 they have a good bit of backstory to fill in - now that Luke (probably) will get some actual screen time we will most likely get that backstory.
  13. I think Arnold's days with Terminator are done. Considering his last few films have been mediocre box office at best he is in trouble of being sidelined for good. Hopefully King Conan will be a winner.
  14. We have a Hollywood idea man here! (and quit giving them ideas - though they already did Hansel and Gretel so who knows)
  15. This does not exactly fit in any other thread so I started this one. A COOL dad made an Enterprise playset for his son. https://www.yahoo.com/movies/check-handmade-starship-enterprise-deck-221543663.html
  16. That "Smell Bad". Times have changed and I doubt they will be able to get anywhere near the charm of the original but a remake of it does not seem too offensive - other than David Bowie just dying - even that I give a little bit of a pass on since I heard rumors of this before he died. How they will do the music for a new one is the real question - it is like Flash Gordon without Queen music.
  17. And funnily enough the planet still has an atmoshpere and snow on it when it is getting ready for the second shot. Like I said, best not to overthink it or it goes poof.
  18. Probably the best way to describe it, other than out and out retcons between films, is that the force is powered at the speed of plot. (to borrow JMS's description of how fast ships move in the B5 universe)
