Netflix Streaming Recommendations/TV Talk

Been catching Special Ops Lioness on paramount. Not bad. Some good actors. Nicole Kidman in it though and she made her lips and mouth look ridiculous.

 

Caught episode 2 last night. I like it so far. A tad bit hesitant over where this discovery could lead to in the SWU as a whole (from overdoing it), but it just feels like Star Wars to me.

Also - CHOPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Everyone loves C1-10P

Spoiler

The only issue I have with the show so far is that there is the character development that was done off stage (the whole Ahsoka-Sabine thing). And I hate that. Show us why Ahsoka took her on as an apprentice in the first place, and then show us why they broke up. Don't just tell us about it. I hate that shit. And Disney leans on that a LOT.

 

You have to buy the books and comics to learn that story though.

 

See that doesn’t bother me

 

Enjoyed episode 3. Enjoyed the opening scenes. Ready to learn more about baylan skrol though.

 

So, I am still waiting for someone to generously give me the books/comics cliff notes re: the Asoka/Sabine backstory if it is not available elsewhere on video, i.e. cartoons, movies, shows.

If it is on accessable video, point me to it.

 

Episode 4 is a 100/10. Wow.

 

Spoiler

idk if there’s comics and books that expound on it but Rebels ended with them going off to look for Ezra and apparently they just had a falling out at some point

 

Thanks.

 

Baylan is one bad mother[uck fay]er and it saddens me that no matter what happens in this series, with the death of Ray Stevenson, we cannot see more of him.

 

I would like to learn a little more about what makes him tick. He doesn’t seem evil for the sake of being evil on tv.

 

My guess is he wants order and/or he doesn't trust the senators at all to do what is best/right.

 

He isn't your typical "ME BAD ME KILL" bad guy. He has something in mind, a plan that only he knows about and is essentially using Thrawn as a pawn in his game. "I won't start a war, but Thrawn will" and all for the "greater good". What his ultimate motives are, I don't know, but I don't think it is personal power, but he is acting out of fear and cynicism. Something has him spooked and he doesn't think the Republic can handle what has him spooked.

 

Maybe he knows there is a separate fraction that will lead to first order, snoke, etc and he is fully aware that palpatine is “alive”.

 

Can we just make Episodes 7-9 no longer cannon. 3 movies that somehow advanced a story backwards...

 

I mean....there were discussions of retconning them at one point.

 

World Between Worlds, maybe....

 

For all I care, Pamela Ewing can wake up from another dream.
