Well said. It was 'whelming' and Thrawn just didn't quite get the portrayal that the character deserved. I don't fault the actor as much as the season's plotting and writing. The character came off as a strategist, but not to the same level as a Lex Luthor of the Star Wars universe in terms of intellect and strategy. I'll keep an open mind though and hope future storylines address some of these concerns. Andor, Rogue One and peak-level Mandalorian remain the best of Star Wars TV/movies for the last decade or so in my opinion.

Ahsoka = C+. Zahn’s novel trilogy it is not. Not even close in terms of quality or narrative. Not a single ‘wow’ or ‘woah’ moment. Some ‘that’s kinda cool’ moments. It has some good lightsaber action and Ahsoka and Baylon are cool characters but the show suffers from questionable plotting and dialogue, slow pacing, underutilization of Thrawn as an antagonist and a requirement to be familiar with Rebels to understand most of it. It would have been better as a 2–3 hour movie. At least Andor S2 is yet to come. Oh and…Zombie stormtroopers? Really?!?

I thought it was an ok episode. Much like I think the show has been ok. The finale will certainly influence my final impression. I have a feeling that I will see the show similarly to how I saw Kenobi, which was a mixed bag of highs and lows that would have been better served by being a focused 2–3 hour film instead of a several hour season. Andor and peak Mandalorian this show is not.

Agreed! He has become the most interesting character in the show for me, even during Thrawn’s debut episode.

There are reputable studies out there that can answer your question.

Good point. Well-maintained ‘02 Honda CR-V here with 186k miles. I bike to work when weather and climate conditions allow which is most days May–November where I live. We got a second hand Tesla last year because my wife commutes a lot for work. With the latest news, I may try and hold onto the CR-V for even longer than next 2–3 years.

If it works for someone’s specific case than this is most certainly the way. 👊🏻

If presented with a binary choice between minimizing carbon footprint with privacy-evasive EV or sticking with more polluting ICE vehicle and keeping privacy, what would you choose? Which choice is more ethically sound? What is more important between mitigating human-caused climate change or preserving individual human privacy? 🤔

Agreed! I was thinking while watching this episode that this is some of the best live action lightsaber action and form since Phantom Menace. Ray Stevenson was doing great work with the Baylon character. It will be too bad if it is ultimately short lived due to the actor's passing.

Not yet.

 
 

I have only seen Return of the Joker but am considering watching the Batman Beyond TV show. It seems like a well-reviewed popular show in the fandom. What are people’s spoiler-free impressions of the show?

What do you think? I'd enjoy seeing the plasma caster come back.

 

What is the next 'Predator' movie going to be? The director of Hulu's 'Prey' teases as much as he can.

Do you have a favorite Batman logo? Any that you prefer? What about oval vs not appearing on the character's chest in the comics or films?
