@djats she was terrible start to finish. At some point, I wondered if she was trying to imitate the old lady she killed, like split personalities.

Ahsoka

It's really bad. The writing is terrible. Even my tween daughter was making fun of it making comments like "why is Ashoka afraid of Sabine turning dark? I thought Jedis aren't afraid." And "Why is Ashoka lighing her saber first? That goes against everything in the original triloty of Jedis not attacking" . Yeah I have been a fan of Star Wars since seeing the first one in 78, so maybe I am just too old for this, but it doesn't feel like star wars at all. Thrawn was great in those Heir of the Empire books, but he was so weak and not convincing in this series. The lightsaber fights have gone from masterful sword fights to dance routings. I don't know... pretty disappointing. I hate how they keep changing and cheapening the whole force/ jedi thing too. and there are too many modern tropes that they cannot get away from in modern Star Wars movies - particulatly how there has to be a weird light saber and there has to be a differnet stormtrooper. I guess in this case, zombie stormtroopers. ugh...

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 1x03 Part III

I am entertained, but as a fan from 1978, I can't help but feel like I am looking at Obi-Wan's Facebook feed. Perhaps I don't really need to know all the details or backstory of him. A New Hope as been my bible. Leia seeks Obi-Wan because he fought alongside with her father Bail Organa during the clone wars. No mention of how he rescued her before. Continuity errors? Yeah well. I really don't feel like typing a novel right now....

@nicol1212 That is because they are just bringing back character after character from other shows that think people want to see. I could care less about Hera and Trace, Now Cade Bane was cool.

For All Mankind: Season 2

Reply by sisdog

Season 1 was tolerable, but season 2 is boring and mind-numbing. Got to the first 15 minutes of episode 3 and couldn't take it anymore. Goodbye.

This show started with promise - the Russians getting to the moon before the Americans, but they're now changing history. Reagan president in 1976?! Margret Thatcher also PM in 76?! Emails and colour monitors in the late 70's. Please.

This is one of Marvel Studios’ riskier projects, the hyperlink structure combined with the villain being the main character immediately makes it stand out in the genre. It’s because of those two aspects that the film works as well as it does. Thanos is a great character with an interesting motivation. The animation is so detailed and lifelike that it never fails to bring out the emotion, in fact I’d argue that the scenes between him and Gamora have the most emotional punch (courtesy of Zoe Saldana and Josh Brolin, who both put in a really solid performance). The balancing of all the different plot lines is also quite well done as there’s a relevancy to each one, nor does the tone feel too disjointed at any point. Some transitions or the sudden pop culture riffing during serious scenes can be awkward, but it’s handled about as well as it could. The exposition is handled tastefully and kept to a minimum, it instead chooses to focus on unexpected interactions between characters from different branches of the Marvel universe, which is the more exciting part. I’m less into the action and filmmaking, however. Not a lot about the camerawork or score jumps out to me, I feel like what little vision the Russos brought to their previous MCU projects is completely lost here. The washed out colour palette (which for some reason is slightly more vibrant during scenes in space) and obvious music embellishments don’t evoke all that much. The staging and editing of the action is a little too quick for my liking, the moments that are meant to be memorable don’t leave much of an impression because the editing doesn’t take its time to punctuate the stunts properly. Some of the CGI also feels a little weightless, for example Stark’s suit looks and feels like its made from paper. The resulting scenes, such as the final battle on Titan, feel more like small scale, digital mush than the big epic scenes they’re aiming for. Once the film decides to slow down for the dramatic conclusion, I find its intent to be manipulative and disingenuous. I felt that way after watching it the first time in the cinema, and after every ‘death’ in this movie having been retconned in one way or another, it turns out I was right. Even in its riskier films, Marvel will find ways to take most of the edges off. Overall, it’s still decent but it’s lost a lot of its flavour for me over the years.

Grey's Anatomy: 14x17 One Day Like This

Reply by sisdog

Wow, wow, wow. Where to even begin with this episode. From start to literally the last shot it was perfect. Nick and Meredith’s scenes were obviously the highlight for me, their chemistry was like fireworks from their first interaction and I instantly loved and was intrigued to see more of that guy. He's extremely charming and charismatic. Please make him stick around. Can’t remember the last time I saw Meredith laugh and giggle like she did around him. It was also nice to see Teddy again and I was rooting and cheering when she went off on Owen. I’m so done with him and his ladies drama. Someone please write him off with the other characters that are leaving. He will not be missed. Not by me at least. And it looks like April finally came back to her senses, loved how that was done as well. I may not like her character all the much but there’s no denying the actress is talented and always delivers. I’ll definitely be re-watching it. Which is something I have not done in years when it comes to this show.

The Walking Dead: 8x02 The Damned

The directing on this episode was really below average, typified by those bookend close up shots which were equal parts pretentious and atrocious. Also, the lack of sense of place, what the objectives were, why people were splitting/meeting up, bad fight scenes, Rick & Daryl wandering around the Saviors' main lair with almost no one there to stop them, and...actually just everything. Worst of all we're no further advanced than last week, ok, they've taken 1 (count 'em) one outpost.

In fact, this week's episode of Z Nation had a better sense of place, equal movement of the plot, and less confusing machinations than this one and the protagonists in that show spent the whole episode in weird teleporting boxes being zapped unconscious with sound by an unknown entity who was using them to clear out a zombie infested underground factory complex after being honey-potted by a driver-less ghost-truck.
