    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    Finished a rewatch of S1 tonight and found myself wondering about something I had rejected out of hand until now: The idea that Luthen Rael might be a Jedi. 1. During his famous monologue, he mentions that he began the fight 15 years before. This is 5 BBY which puts his decision squarely with...

    Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

    Never watched a single episode after S2 ended, and I only watched S2 for the Pike / Spock elements of it. Didn't miss it, have not been even slightly tempted to go back and watch it since. What I did watch was terribly flawed, at times infantile in its presentation of what were supposed to be...

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    Diego Luna is doing a great job emoting Andor's inner turmoil. Watching the Ghorman massacre was like watching Ferrix all over again- you could feel it. Then in the end, Andor driving away, wrecked, tears in his eyes as the Ghor beg for help on the comm net. You feel the Empire's oppression like...

    I think he was trying to find her for his ISB bosses. Cassian shot true.

    How would Vel know him? Or his blaster?

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    More good stuff. Well, Mon's on the run, Syril is dead, and have we seen the last of Dedra? I was expecting a little more out of Luthen these eps. Kleya is sort of taking over his role, it seems like. So they just drop the whole fuel-sniffing thing with Wilmon? Bix is in the wind, which may...

    Last movie you saw?

    Watched The Martian today on a flight from ATL-->BOI. That montage with Bowie's 'Starman' always gets me. :hugegrin:

    Same thing I told my wife- that one goes straight into the hip pocket.

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    The whole 14-year old queen thing was just a bit of bad storytelling. I get that GL wanted to show Anakin from a young age; the prequels would have worked a lot better (IMHO) if Anakin had started older, about the age he was in EP II, and Padme could have been a full-on adult as well.

    I hated the Q character but

    The Q episodes were always cringy to me. Except for the Borg intro.

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    What was going on with Wilmon at the end there? Was he sniffing fuel vapors or what the hell was going on? I was a little confused.

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    This. There's no actual reason Bix has to die, she just has to be gone somehow between the last three episodes and Rogue One. Could she carry a follow-up show on her own? Maybe.

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    I think B2EMO has new people, and that's probably best for the poor little fella. Binged the second set of eps tonight. Not sure I liked it as much as the first three but it was solid through and through. Couple of observations: 1. Saw Gerrerra is f'n crazy. You'd have to be crazy yourself to...

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    The skilled fan editors out there will take these three episode arcs and tighten them up into freakin' awesome single-sitting movies, I'm sure.
  16. Jedi Marso

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    Finished the first arc. Through the first two episodes I had the same issues with pacing and content that others have mentioned, but the third ep seemed to pull it all together for me and left me thinking: "That f'n rocked!" Loved the reveal of Yavin IV- I did NOT see that one coming, and it...

    Must There Be A Section 31?

    No. To me, Section 31 is sort of the antithesis of what Starfleet and the Federation are supposed to be all about. I could even imagine member worlds like Vulcan contemplating seceding from the Federation after learning of its existence, citing is seditious and dishonest nature.

    News Steven Spielberg to Direct Sci-Fi Epic ‘Old Man's War'

    That would almost certainly be worth a watch. Read the first novel years ago and don't remember if there were sequels or not.

    Spoilers Strangers from the Sky by Margaret Wander Bonanno - a look back

    It's been a while so my facts may be out of whack, but MWB wrote a book called 'Probe' which turned into a big fight between her and the publishing company. Maybe it was a sequel to STIV, I don't remember. Some of the folks on the board could probably explain it far more accurately. EDIT: Here...

    Suppose warp drive is invented. What happens next?

    At Warp 1 we aren't going very far or very fast. It would open up the solar system, Expanse Style, however. It would also make possible decades-long expeditions to Alpha Centauri, and generational trips (or using suspended animation) tech to places like Eta Cassiopeia (Terra Nova in Enterprise)...
