What type of BS is this. Zombies. Seriously Wtf. This series is plagued with weak ass script written by a bunch of woke teenagers.

@whos_ur_buddha Look up the history of Dathomir and the Nightsisters. It's not random BS thrown in as a lazy writing tactic.
Undeads in Star Wars?! People should die for this blasphemy!

@webxorcist Undead and zombies have literally been in Star Wars since 1994.
I don't understand why they'd do young Ahsoka and not have Ashley Eckstein as the voice. Even this version doesn't match the plucky Clone Wars version. Whole thing still feels like a fan film still to me. Love Filoni but this series been so underwhelming for me.
Massive Star Wars fan but honestly end up looking forward to the credits so I can put something else on.

@aeronmelon We absolutely saw how weird old Indy's voice was in the young CGI scenes but I think they could have done a decent enough job processing Ashley's to where no one would notice except the hardcore nerds.
Review by TV Watcher
Personally, I don't understand all the hate around this final installment in the series. I thought this was a pretty good Indiana Jones movie, all in all, and I've watched them in the theater since they first came out (except this one).
Yes, the beginning has some de-aging and it's not great - but you get used to it pretty fast and I was seeing old Indiana Jones in no time. Yes Harrison Ford doesn't do his own stunts anymore but he's pretty old to be jumping horses through downtown New York. Lots of CGI in this one, but that's where we are today - you don't see hardly anything but CGI these days so why should this film be any different?
The story is pretty outlandish, but then again the first one that everyone loves had spirits jumping out of an mythical box so you have to suspend your disbelief if you want to watch shows like this.
If I were to rate this in the series as a whole:
#1: Raiders of the Lost Ark
#2: Last Crusade
#3: Dial of Destiny
#4: Temple of Doom
#5: Crystal Skull (mostly because Shia LaBouff sucked)I get that some people, particularly with Temple of Doom, will disagree with my ranking but they are mine, not yours.
I went Into DoD with a ton of trepidation, all I heard was how bad it was in places like Trakt, but in reality it surpassed my expectations by a pretty large amount. They had a nice nod to all previous characters (except Brody, that was disappointing to me - I know the actor is dead but a mention would have been nice). I think this was a good final movie for Indie.

@leewelch75 I agree also. I heard nothing but how bad and woke this was so I went in with very low expectations. I can't stand the new Star Wars sequels so I'm not a Disney fanboy, but honestly I don't get all the complaints about this movie. I thought it was great and felt like an authentic Indiana Jones movie to me. Just because it has a female lead doesn't automatically make it woke, and it made sense because it was part of the story. Strong female characters have always been part of Indiana Jones. This isn't a case of Rey Skywalker where she's just a badass with no explanation or reason at all. Helena's story and history makes sense. What am I missing?

Deacon should absolutely be dead. Why can't they kill off characters in this show? Stop doing that! It's dumb! Every show that keeps characters alive too long and keeps ressurecting them like this looks dumb! Though what they're doing with his character isn't that bad.
And the time jackets are cool but OP as hell.

@warden1 He's a good actor though. I'm glad he's still on the show.

VIP8I don't like the addition of more meta/jokey dialogue this season. Last season the humor was more subtle, but here it's sometimes awkwardly overt.
I often feel like the supporting characters are better than the main ones. Ramsay is a great character, and Jennifer is also a great character. Also, i ship Cole and Jennifer more than Cole and Cassy.
There's no way Deacon could have got out of that. I don't like him but he's growing on me.

Completely agree. It's too much. One or two lines per episode would be okay but it feels cringy. I kept rolling my eyes.
I generally can't stand the voice of Wanda Sykes. But this proves that having a unique sounding voice doesn't replace an actually talented voice actor. Whenever she speaks it sounds like she's either reading from a microwave user manual or reading a bedtime story to her kids. It feels seperate from the rest of the cast. But that might just be me since I don't like her voice to begin with.
That said, these last two episodes really don't seem to drive forward the overall story. I'm just bored waiting for some actual development.

@noxiuz I agree with this, but she seemed a little better than her voice in the last one. Hopefully she isn't the new Cid.

As always the soundtrack of this show is out of this world. It really does wonders to the mood of the episodes.
I don't really know what's going on with Cody but I hope that he will reunite with Rex, becacuse I want those two to become friends again. And I also hope that they won't try to redeem Crosshair because I think he's beyond redemption at this point. Especially after this episode where he basically commited a war crime.loading replies
@bence-55475357-947e-44d4-85e6-001de37fdc9e I hope so also. I want to see him get what he deserves and it's not redemption.

VIP4It makes no sense to use stun if they are taking down ships and using tank weapons at the same time
loading replies
@caiomunarolo LOL yes, how silly! I was thinking for some reason they only had stun weapons and the story was using that as another odd against them. I think you're right though, I think they did have "regular" blasters also excluding the cannon that Wrecker rigged. I'm too lazy to watch it again though.

@caiomunarolo I was thinking they only had guns that could use stun. Is this not the case, and they are using regular blasters and they have them set to stun only mode?!
Expectations are a weird thing. I expected nothing from this show and got everything I wanted. And it's not over yet - it seems to have just started.
The build-up within this episode was seriously awesome. They were putting in all the pieces and you know at some point there'll be an explosion. And it came. The Maarva speech was so emotional, I was really about to start crying when all hell broke loose.
With all that it was easy to overlook the brilliant scheme by Mon Mothma, putting the spotlight on her husband. And seeing the self indulgent ISB patting themselves on the shoulders. Not understanding they've been had.
I'm still not sure what role Syril will play. So far I get the impression you could remove him and loose nothing. He's always there, yet doesn't really do much. In this episode again.
Oh, and the after credit scene - a nice bonus.
Really looking forward to season two and angry I have to wait for a year.

@finfan I think this is part of the reason it's so good. We had zero expectations going in. I thought it was going to be some half-baked goofy shallow leadup to Rogue One, but this has really set the bar for a new kind of Star Wars. They tried a lot of new and different ideas that we don't normally see, and they did it perfectly.
I usually do not watch TV episodes till after the credits roll but there is actually an after credits scene here that noone should miss!
loading replies
@mellowb Thanks so much!!!!! Almost missed it.
Except one great space battle nothing happening. Andor is a collection of boring and really great episodes. So far each story arch has started with a quite boring episode and endet with a fantastic episode. Would be nice if we got all episodes of an arch at the same time - make less episodes but each episode about 2 hours. Or make the opening episodes less boring ...

@ggfera Could not have possibly said it any better. That's exactly how I feel about this show and why I like it so much.
Was it Laenor at the last scene with no hair?

@shukibenj Yup, indeed it was!
I'm in love with everything about this, but reusing the Game of Thrones title theme is some bullshit. Djawadi is perfectly capable of writing something new and exciting, or an alternate orchestration at the very least.
loading replies
@thoroughmas I think this will be the trend if they make a show after this also. I'm fine with it really as it just kind of sets the mood, especially for casual viewers who don't follow the books. At least they changed up the end credits theme.
If I hadn't gotten spoilers about Luke Skywalker, the ending would have been a lot more crazy, but it still didn't take away the weight of it all. This arc is over, and I'm really excited for what they plan on doing with Mando and Boba Fett in the future.

@jonthemantis That's why I go full media blackout regarding anything having to do with whatever I haven't watched yet.
A great fun episode, and Omega continues to be endearing with her endless optimism. Also delighted to see Rafa and Trace back and maybe now people will finally start to see how great they are!
Interesting ending moment, my first thought was Ahsoka but I guess that wouldn't make that much sense... would it?
loading replies
@lefthandedguitarist I feel like she's coming...
Maybe it’s going to be an issue in the next episode, but Mando left his jet pack on the hillside, and never retrieved it. If he had, he would have been able to get to Grogu in time.

@linrey I thought that was what Boba shot that exploded and killed the cluster of stormtroopers. Was it just a planted pack of explosives or something?
So bummed TUF has come to an end.. I’m sure with UFC moving to ESPN they will try to trick up something new I imagine! Because TUF has just done SO much for the UFC. ie.. Stephan Bonner v Forest Griffin in epic TUF 1 finale ! That got SO MANY EYES on the UFC that hadn’t followed previously. Classic rock em sock em robot war!!

@bryandonnini Ask and you shall receive! (two years later)
Name a less iconic couple than Jon and Daenerys, I'll wait.
Their romantic storyline is purely fanservice (who asked for this, anyway?). Everything about them seems forced and their scenes are so cringey that it gives me actual physical pain to watch them. Teenagers write better fanfiction on the Internet every day. And to add insult to the injury, Kit and Emilia have the on-screen chemistry of two small rocks placed next to each other. Someone please make this stop.loading replies
@carolinaoftarth Agreed, I rolled my eyes quite a few times in this episode. Painful!
Welcome back, Clone Wars! While the members of the Bad Batch kind of feel like they're ticking of a list of stereotypes, they are fun to watch. And this series always excelled with episodes focused on clones, they can provide some of the best stories. I particularly liked the tension between the "regs" and these guys.
Great tease about Echo being behind it all. It can be difficult to keep track of who's who with the clones, but members of the original Domino Squad did stick with me.
I can't believe how good the show looks now. The technology and artistry and experience involved has moved it up to a new level.

@lefthandedguitarist Agreed. They really upped the visuals AND the audio in these episodes. Even the change to the end credits theme sounds awesome.

VIP8Despite some very minor issues with its tone, this is very good.
However, since this episode mostly consists of a lot of world building, I’m not going to extensively review it.
We still need to get a true sense of the story and characters after all.
I don’t think it’s too early to say that this show is going to be revolutionary for tv in terms of scope, cinematography and CGI.
The score is really well done too, and I applaud the fact that the pacing is tight; the episode isn’t too long or drawn out (this could of course be a budget constraint), which is something that the vast majority of Netflix shows struggle with.
If I should compare it to anything else, the closest thing that comes to mind is Firefly, especially in terms of tone.
I just hope that over the next few episodes the story and characters will become as strong as they were on Firefly.loading replies
@jordyep World-building is kind of Filoni's style. I didn't notice it so much with Rebels, but I REALLY noticed it with Resistance. In fact, I would argue they spent too much time world-building on Resistance. Nothing really interesting happened until the 5th or 6th episode of that show.
Holy shit, what an awful series finale this was. I'm immensely disappointed.

@legendaryfang56 I feel like the only character they got right was Eugene.
Overall, a bit of an underwhelming episode. Herr Starr was the highlight, but that isn't saying much. There was a couple of moments that I think were a reference to the comics: the three brothers rescuing Herr Starr, definitely, his ridiculous blond hair back when he had hair which I think maybe a reference to the part in the comics having to do with him wearing and testing out wigs, and Eugene picking up the guitar. And I find it weird that Jesse's right eye was bitten out of its socket by God instead of his left eye like in the comics; I wonder why. But I'm not bothered by it.
loading replies
@legendaryfang56 I'm just glad they did it
Well, they butchered what happened to Jesse after he fell off the place in the desert. So Jesse died and got imprisoned in Hell instead of surviving and losing an eye, and his memory of how it happened; his fight with God? We already know he'll lose an eye because of the title sequence, but what difference does that make if they've already changed the scene in which it happened in the comics? At this point, I'll be genuinely surprised if he'll still lose his eye due to his fight against God.

@legendaryfang56 They might still do that confrontation but in a different way. I'm disappointed also that they didn't play the desert scene out the way it was in the comics.

@legendaryfang56 If you noticed during the preview for Season 4 earlier this year, it showed a quick flash of Jesse with an eyepatch so I think we'll still see some form of it.
Holy hell, this episode was boring. It wasn't necessarily bad, it's just that nothing worthwhile happened. The plot is barely moving forward, and nothing else is happening that makes the episode enjoyable. Not to mention, every step forward is dragged out for far too long. Eugene's character is pointless, serves no purpose, and is not interesting, whatsoever. And I don't care about the archangel and his beloved, who happens to be a demon.

@legendaryfang56 I have to wonder though. Could they be the parents of Genesis?
I enjoyed the first episode more. I'm also a little disappointed that we didn't get to see Jesse beat the shit out of Jesus DeSade. I don't suppose we'll see it as a flashback either as weird as that would be even though that would be the only way now.
loading replies
@legendaryfang56 I'm sure we will see it. I think the plane scene was just a flash forward. I don't think they are going to pass over such a crazy iconic character that quickly.
