    Not sure how accurate this is: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/synopsis-of-jmss-synopsis-of-the-original-arc-for-b5-spoilers.53739/ But it's interesting to see what the "original" plan was versus what we actually got. Definitely prefer the order (explicit guidance) versus chaos (strengthened through conflict) idea, the Z'Ha'Dum plot threads and prophecies, and the execution of Londo's story that we got in the actual show versus what's surmised in that link.

    Just watched it today. Clocking in at 2.5 hours, it is a pretty long film. If you've liked the past two Guardians movies and the Christmas special, you should know what you'll be getting at this point. It does mix the silly stupid humor with the heart-pulling moments. But they are a "found family," so they're gonna have their bickering bits but still deeply love one another at their core. Dumb observations:

    I'd be curious to see what the original story was supposed to be with Commander Sinclaire as the main character. Don't get me wrong: it's amazing that he was able to adjust the story on the fly for certain actors leaving or not panning out. But it'd be interesting to see what JMS' original ideas were supposed to be for Babylon 4, Sinclaire and Delenn, Susan Ivanova in Season 5, etc.

    So many of the designs from Frontier felt like a natural progression of old Macross designs and symbols: The GBP-1S armor now being integrated to be used in all three Valk modes; The missing eye in the VF-25S emblem reminding me of an eyepatch and homaging the pirate roots of the Jolly Rogers. And yeah, even the YF-21 and the Sv-262 (that don't have that standard "jet engines become the legs" design) have pretty smooth underbellies.

    Damn, does she nail the slow, simmering anger:

    Figure this is the best way to get us to Page 100 :

    I remember that was right around the time that afternoon cartoons started dying out, especially for those on syndication channels. Young, teenage Moggy wasn’t happy about that change.

    The biggest problem with that original color scheme was that the bike and the human armor were two very different primary colors. And it’s not like Stick and Rey where the colors are just slightly different. We’re talking a major contrast on that original Intruder.

    One of them better be Coach Cutlip, holding a whistle.

    I am curious if they’ll add a helmetless head too. But we all know what I’m waiting for.

    It would also need some cans that the poor bastard scout can’t hit. 😉

    Just to clarify: I have no issue with the idea that Mando didn’t grow much or reverted some in Season 3. The only new thing that Season 3 added was a new willingness to work with some droids (wanting to repair IG-11 and partnering with R5). But to say that Mando’s the same character as at the start of the series is hyperbole by that reviewer.

    Well, if they take the position that Robotech is superior to Macross, then we’ll know that the AI lacks actual, you know, “intelligence.”

    They were crappy story “arcs.” What exactly was Poe supposed to learn in that film? To trust his leader blindly without asking logical questions? Finn sorta had an arc, but then Rose had to go and mess up his moment of sacrificing for the greater good. And really, where in that entire movie does she show any sort of emotion for him other than disdain? Rey had that whole “You’re nobody” arc, but then the next movie dropped that angle. Rescuing and protecting his friends has always been a core aspect of Luke, but guess they had to “subvert expectations” and not have him give a damn that his good friend died and his sister is in trouble. Kylo had an arc? For all his talk about killing the past, he sure had a hard time trying to pull the trigger on Mommy. Zero growth in Mando? Mando’s gone from being a loner who only cares about his covert to a loving dad, a guy that backs up his friends and allies, and a guy who’s willing to serve another Mandalorian who often takes off her helmet. Yeah, he’ll still kick a battle droid, but he’s slowly learning to trust a few droids, something he never would have done at the start of the series. Grogu’s actually getting better with using the Force and doesn’t need to automatically go into sleepy, nap-time right after exerting himself. He’s gone from choking a chick in Season 1 to actually trying to stop a fight in Season 3. Bo’s actually grown from the character we first saw in Clone Wars. And after experiencing all that in-fighting, she’s consistently refrained from killing another fellow Mandalorian and was willing to hang with the religious cult.

    Grogu was already stopping fire in Season 1. Figure some of his training probably came back after learning with Luke for a bit. So, the Force shield doesn’t bother me as much. . . . And the less we speak of The Last Jedi, the better. But Luke was an old, out of practice bastard at that point in time, Force projecting how far away again? (Making myself 🤮, just remembering that dumb movie).

    Robots? I thought we were all into MECHAS. 😉

    Yeah, there were a bunch of “blink and you’ll miss them gags” sprinkled throughout for those of us that grew up during the 8-bit Nintendo days. . . . Though, Mario’s still a jerk-face for doing a two-on-one battle when the odds were already in his favor.

    Considering his girls are both in Starfleet, I wouldn’t be surprised if Geordi had a few Bring Your Daughter to Work Days, umm, Weeks, erm, MONTHS. “Hey kiddo, can you reroute the EPS manifold to Plasma Conduit 12 so it can draw power from Substation D?”

    . . . And one “little” Jem’Hadar attack fighter took out a Galaxy class ship with one kamikaze hit. The Defiant is still an ass-kicker that’s proven its mettle against a variety of different enemies, including other Starfleet ships. . . . Of course, Geordi would’ve had to call O’Brian out of retirement to figure out all the modifications and upgrades they did to her.
