  1. I don't know the sales numbers of either (here in the states) but unless the numbers for RT are a lot higher why would they even bother? Just get the Macross stuff over as Macross (and the other two titles have so little new content they can be ignored anyway)
  2. Zathras never get offended, Zathras beast of burden...
  3. No no, it is pronounced Zathras, hear the difference? As for the multiverse thing, B5 never really had that (it had time travel but it was a closed loop for the most part) but I will give it a watch.
  4. One of the best shown parts is how the rebellion gets a foothold, Empires and dictatorships almost always end up falling due to the back stabbing that goes along with them - and the Empire as shown in Andor is that on steroids. All the Imperials are more interested in growing their own little kingdom then doing the job with the exception of the one female imperial, maybe...
  5. No I don't "associate it" - it IS. The character as portrayed is exactly the stereotype, right down to the accent. Woody Allen made great use of it in New York Stories.
  6. I hate to say it but the loss of the Sinclair character ended up being a massive improvement if those notes are accurate (and if it had been kept to anyway, I would bet JMS was mulling some of these changes even before Michael O'Hare's illness became a problem)
  7. For me there was Captain Crunch (Peanut Butter preferable) and then everything else... EDIT - As for the Character Development. That is good, very good but not when it has to be done with a badly done religious stereotype mother.
  8. The new TV show/reboot is still very much iffy at best. The execs might be waiting to see how the animated movie works out (but maybe not). I am optimistic for the movie but cautiously so - Legend of the Rangers was dreadful and JMS did not say that was due to network interference when I saw him in an interview on it.
  9. When JMS said they were doing a "special" project with the original cast I thought it would be some kind of lame cast reunion show, I never thought it would be an actual story of some kind. Looking forward to it.
  10. Wow, I last resurrected this nearly six years ago to the day... Animated B5 movie is done, just needing to be released. A lot of the remaining original cast having VA roles in it. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/babylon-5-animated-movie-j-michael-straczynski-1235602391/
  11. I've never remember a situation where a game was not available after launch, at least not within a week or so. Game consoles were another matter that would be in short supply for months or more.
  12. I never preorder video games, all of them need patches now (now being ever since the internet made patching them "easy")
  13. I watched a bit over half of this. Not terrible, well enough made but it is boring. (what I have seen so far that is, the finale could be dreadful). There are enough changes that it is not really comparable to the animated film but close enough that all the main themes are still there.
  14. I was just at the park on Thursday and managed to get on Slinky Dog Dash and Runaway Railway. The first I was at early opening and the second was a walk on. After that it was just a thirty minute wait for Rise of the Resistance (great ride). When I was done with the ride the wait time was up to 90 minutes however. So it looks like the week AFTER Easter week is a good time to go.
  15. It took me a while to get around to watching the second season but it is a heck of a lot better then the first so far.
  16. A good "Soong" is like the single Blackadder from the Christmas Carol parody they did. So doing a Dick move is nothing special for them.
  17. Movies have a budget and expected income from the budget. If a film does that then it is good. If it doesn't it is a bomb (no matter how much it may actually take in income) and if it does much better than that it is great. From a studio perspective. Since the idea that a movie is a perishable commodity is not currently in effect yet the maximizing profit per day is not back in effect yet. (a movie seat on a particular day is a perishable commodity - if a seat has not got a rear end sitting in it at a certain time then that is revenue that will never be realized)
  18. Quite a few rumors (usually he is pretty good at finding true ones however). Things coming up for Magic Kingdom.
  19. True but the take was going down from movie to movie - that is NOT what Disney wants to see. The next movie had better be very well received or Disney is going to be doing another double check on the franchise. If things were going to plan there would have been 5+ theatrical Star Wars releases since the Rise of Skywalker and unlike other franchises it was not mainly Covid that put a halt to it. If the writing and continuity is better I would be happy to see more of Rey and crew.
  20. The clone wars started out MUCH more for children with the ability for families to watch. As with the Harry Potter books they matured as they (and the audience) went along. The same pattern happened with Rebels though in a much reduced (real world) time span.
