“Go on, go on, go on!”
If it isn’t Mrs Doyle!!
Some really bad dialogue, delivered pretty woodenly, stupid plots and ‘science’. Finds an excuse to get the hot lead to take her clothes off. Predictable.
I was honestly laughing out loud at some of the ridiculous developments in this.
I really don’t understand why this is so highly rated and loved.
It made Lost seem much more realistic.
J.J and co at their worst.
I’m a little late to the party watching this, but finally made it.
I don’t mind The Clone Wars, but it’s not my favourite show. It has too many childish elements that annoy me (I’m looking at you silly battle droids) and the storylines never fully win me over. There’s some good stuff here and there and it can do some stuff well. It just gets a bit bogged down in the silliness sometimes. Or the 4 story arc that we got previously which was just groan inducing. All this preamble is so that I can say this episode is the best episode I’ve watched of the show. It firstly grabs your attention with the Lucas logo and then bamn the actual Star Wars theme stars. Not The Clone Wars one. And then the callbacks (technically forwards) to Revenge of the Sith with Plo Koon on Cato Nemoida and Aayla Secura on Felucia. I actually got a bit sad. And this continues on with the Revenge style proper opening with the musical callbacks to the fantastic opening of that film.
The action here is the best this show has ever done, and something that really feels like it’s finally coming into it’s all and reaching its full potential.
It was nice to finally see what the whole orange clone trooper helmets was all about. I’ve see the pictures but never actually realised what the connection was, until seeing the clones saluting Ashoka. Pretty cool stuff.
I also liked the callback to The Last Jedi with Anakin walking towards all the droids and then all aiming at him.
All in all this is the first time an episode has finished and I’ve actually wanted to watch the next one straight after. Sometimes I do watch another right after, but often I need a break. This time I was intrigued. And I hate that they brought Maul back and have never been a fan of what he became. He was a cool character and they flashed him out, sure, but he just never clicked for me.
Amazing! This show just gets better and better. I loved all the subtle changes in the parallel world. So simple but effective. Alesander’s parting was on the other side, Möller’s arm gone instead of his eye, Helge’s smashed in eye, Ulrich in charge and Charlotte having the affair. Even Jonas’s house had the entrance on the right instead of the left. Really clever stuff. I have no idea where it’s going to end up but I am excited.
Recently I was talking to a friend about Girls and he was saying (after watching the whole series for the second time) that he realised that all of the main characters are all completely self obsessed and involved. This is the episode that truly shows how true that statement is!
Hannah’s only caring about her e-book and what happens next, and the conversation between Jessa and Shoshanah about having deceased friends just illustrates the point to the nth degree!
Edit: I wrote this comment half way through the episode. Hannah’s story at the end, to Adam, illustrates my point even more. Wow!
