Film & TV / Re: On telly this week

I had fun with it. The plot was nonsense and it was stuck in 5th gear the whole time, but once the Master was out of the way it stuck a nice emotional landing. And of course, since I didn't watch it until last night, I had the ending spoiled 15 times over by content "creators" reaction videos being shoved into my YouTube feed.

I'll take two seasons of this quality, then consider Rogue One as the third part. Very happy with that thank-you. :)

Is all this a harbinger of change, or will I be back in this thread in two years trying to articulate my hopelessness at another Tory election victory?

The careful placement of characters, each with their own problems; the hints at who may be connected in unexpected ways; politics everywhere, from family to friends to bureaucrats changing the destiny of an entire planet just to score points over one another. And it looks amazing, to a level that the previous TV series have only intermittently managed. To someone disappointed with Kenobi, this is a dizzying bounce-back.

This series is just the best thing ever. I can't say enough good things about it.

What's your take on it? Good game?

Also loving Rings of Power. I don't mind the slow burn, in fact I preferred the earlier episodes to this one, but it was a belter nonetheless.

Ensuring that I can be evidentially smug if I'm right, my guess for Sauron is [spoiler]Celebrimbor. That brief plan of his to create a tower of some sort, and his proximity to the elves, both put him at the top of the list for me. [/spoiler]

I agree it takes too long to get off-planet, but on the plus side, the setting is given some real room to breathe. There's also a refreshing 'everyman' feel to the characters since [spoiler]we haven't yet gotten into any of that pesky Rebellion backdrop[/spoiler]. And of course it looks and sounds fantastic, which quite frankly, when you're in the Star Wars universe, is often enough to hold the attention.

I'm...not sure Musk is a PR asset these days.

Reading her obit last night, it felt like I was reading The Crown's wikipedia page. It's interesting that I know much more about the monarchy now than I did before the dramatisation mined her life (with due acknowledgement of the over-dramatised or fictional bits, obv.).

I've throughly enjoyed it so far. It's only about £7 on Amazon, so worth a look!
Totally ordered.

I saw the sealed monochrome Dredd/Death at Collectormania, and it looked great from the outside, at least.

Those bonus episodes, out of nowehere, and two of the best in the run. Bravo Netflix.

Nice link, ty.

I only dabble in authorship so my opinion is almost worthless, but in the plot-heavy stuff I try to put out, when characters attempt to pull a fast one on me, the're snapped back into their rightful place, toot-sweet. I've yet to experience anything metaphysical with my characters. One day, hopefully, I will discover that the myth is true.
