Huh. Can't say we've ever had a problem with that.

I lost track of The Expanse when finishing up season 2. There was all that crap about the future of the series being uncertain and I wasn't keen to get into another situation that I had with Stargate Universe.

I enjoyed the last episode and it will be a pity if Jodie is replaced (just as I got into her interpretation of The Doctor).
Quote from: Professor Bear on 28 December, 2020, 04:28:40 PMThis tired old thing? Cinema plays with reality at every turn, yet somehow it's wrong when sci-fi does it.Quote from: Jim_Campbell on 28 December, 2020, 03:10:57 PMIt makes no sense, not only disregarding established continuity but also not even being able to keep its own internal narrative rules straight.
JJA has very definite opinions about the attention span of his audience. I still remember how the opening shot of his Star Trek reboot is a spaceship flying through space making spaceship noises, and then a minute later another spaceship is shooting very loud space lasers, while many loud space explosions happen. Then someone falls out of a door or something into space, which is deathly silent because there is no noise in space.
Quote from: Barrington Boots on 23 December, 2020, 10:19:12 AMWe started of with Pirates of the Caribbean which I remember really enjoying in the cinema (sequels not so much). On a rewatch it's really not that good - there's some striking sequences with the undead pirates and it looks really good, but it's really carried by Depp and Geoffrey Rush and if you take them out the rest of the film is pretty weak. Furthermore if you've started to find Depp's pirate schtick tiresome then it's basically Barbosa or nothing.If you take out the good bits, it's...less good?

To be fair, if it wasn't for the remarkable sturdiness of Beskar, the stormtroopers would have nailed the Mandalorian a few times over by now.
