	Star Wars didn't change my life, but the special effects gave me A New Hope!

So, anyone watching the new season?

I'm honestly not that happy over the turn the show has taken since the previous season finale, (Funny that I did my S2 review in that thread before watching the finale. Would have been quite different otherwise.) as I kind of hate everyone right now, except maybe Cary and the new girl. Otherwise still a lot of "being weird for the sake of being weird" and tons of incomprehensible character decisions.

Massive spoiler for the S2 finale:

SPOILER: Click to show

I have to say, after the trial in episode 2x11, the Division 3 team has lost its entire legitimacy and all of my respect in the process. I mean, sure, David's actions regarding Sid were pretty low, but then again, she had literally been manipulated by Farouk into believing he was the actual villain, so he made her forget about that. Obviously not the best course of action, but I'd say the moment the love of your life shoots a gun at you because of something your arch nemesis said, it's time to take off the kid gloves.

Although, yeah, the moment Cary found out about David manipulating Sid (how exactly did he even know what David was doing???), I understand that the team wanted to take him in, especially when they heard about future-Sid's warning about David ending the world. BUT, instead of locking up both David and Farouk, they let that monster go?!? Just earlier, one of the arguments for David being evil was that he had supposedly enjoyed his S1 rampage when freeing Amy from Division 3. Yet no-one ever doubted that Farouk was the one in charge during that moment. Then, Farouk murdered D3 agents again, in the S2 premiere when he broke into the building to steal the tool he later used TO MURDER DAVID'S SISTER, all the while using Oliver as his sock puppet to get around. And those are just the people he killed on screen, I'm sure there was many others. And let's not even mention the three decades of mental torture that David had had to endure thanks to Farouk!

But, hey, now that everyone thinks David is the villain, that's absolutely a reason to set this murdering psychopath free. Sure.

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

And we're done here. Overall: 5.5/10. Never found out what the bloody stars said.

Side note: Seeing as David apparently had Targaryan blood in him, I really think he should have joined the fight for the Iron Throne. Might have even saved the GoT ending!

ayanami: Also, yes, Iain deserves constant praise, always! And for the Doctor in particular. Chilling role! Nov 24, 2024 23:07:48 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

Nov 24, 2024 23:10:42 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Exactly!

Nov 24, 2024 23:11:32 GMT

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT

ayanami: ...son and apparently there's an audio book version of the novel featuring a bunch of Hollywood talents! (Gotta have connections in life!

) Nov 24, 2024 23:13:41 GMT

Jemma Simmons: What?! That's wild! I'll have to check into it! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Sounds way more interesting than the movie, anyway! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh, just FYI, next weekend is a holiday weekend here, so I won't be able to be around.

Nov 24, 2024 23:15:41 GMT

ayanami: Absolutely! Which makes it even more bewildering that they went with such a lame clichéd Hollywood story instead. Which, btw, is actually getting a sequel next year. Who'd have thunk it?! Nov 24, 2024 23:17:08 GMT

ayanami: Ah, alright, thanks for the heads up. Nov 24, 2024 23:18:07 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that's something I've noticed lately too. Why the sudden need for sequels for 20-30 year old movies? Most of the time they're crap and I'd definitely rather see new material. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:11 GMT

ayanami: I think I'm gotta call it a night now, though. I've got kind of an early morning coming up tomorrow and it's getting late over here. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a good couple of weeks then!

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding

Nov 24, 2024 23:21:10 GMT

ayanami: Tbf, World War Z is "only" from 2013, but yeah, I get your drift. Answer: Hollywood producers are all a bunch of chicken sh*ts, who only want to invest money into stuff with a recognisable name and a good track record, so only sequels, prequels and reboots Nov 24, 2024 23:22:41 GMT

ayanami: From now until eternity!
