I have never watched Rebels or very much of the other animated stuff (yet at least) but really liking the tie-ins.

I want to watch this one! It looks to be pretty good. Rosario Dawson usually picks her projects well. I haven't watched Rebels yet, but I did like the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

I haven't even watched the animated Clone Wars shows or Rebels but even I'm loving the live-action callbacks and everything.

I liked it. A lot.

But maybe it's the grouchy old man I've become because when the final episode ended I did not feel like I had watched a complete season. Not a single thread was tied up. We go zero answers (that hadn't already been given in trailers). No character journeys were completed, no lessons learned, no foes foiled even temporarily. Plant seeds for more seasons, sure. Even have a few mysteries to get people speculating between seasons. But give me ONE complete story arc at least.

Good to know this, as it annoys me when at least some things aren't tied up.

I'm hoping to binge this one over Columbus Day.

Well my face is red. Apparently there are 8 episodes, not 6. So the fact that episode 6 ends with lots of open questions is actually kinda normal.

LOL

(We'll see if they do indeed wrap most of it up by episode 8)

Hopefully the last 2 tie up some loose ends! And are as good as the rest!

No real loose ends left behind, though still plenty of open questions. The last two episodes were very good and did resolve a few key storylines and answer some questions. Lots of Star Wars lore introduced in live action for the first time as well.

Quick Reply

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!
