I thought Bridgerton was a pastiche.
Yes, it gets a bit meta, doesnāt it.
I think I enjoyed last nightās episode, but it did feel, for the first time this series, that they were rehashing old ideas. The Rogue character was essentially a lightly rewritten Cpt Jack.
As long as he doesnāt behave on set like the actor playing Captain Jackā¦
Well, Iām assuming that is why they are introducing a new character. However, the similarity in the stories and character are too close to be coincidental. The episode wasnāt written by Russell T Davies, but I am assuming that he told the writers to insert that (or scripted it himself uncredited)
Iām just wondering whether this is a Cpt Jack reboot?
I was disappointed in it because it didnāt feel like it was doing anything meaningful with the star wars universe. It felt more like a generic adventure story with some jedi stuff thrown in to justify it having the star wars tag. E3 this week made me reconsider. While the execution might still be questionable there are at least some interesting directions they are trying to go with it.
Also, if this was episode that made the āGo Woke Go Brokeā crowd got so worked up about - fucking LOL. What a bunch of fucking babies.
I know Iām extremely late on this but I finally got around to watching Killing Eve. Season 1 was good, even though Iām not a big fan of Sandra Oh (her character in Greys has no redeeming qualities and itās put me off her a bit). Season 2 was fine too but I just started Season 3 and realized Iām not interested anymore. I feel like the story was told and then artificially kept alive because it was popular. Eve and Villanelle havenāt even interacted in what feels like forever and itās getting a little tiresome to keep seeing Villanelle develop almost superhuman abilities to perform assassinations.
In season one she would negotiate herself into a situation by playing off the fact sheās a skinny woman - act like a prostitute sent to a rich Spanish guys birthday party in order to get him alone, act like an over excited amateur perfume maker selling her product to a famous perfume designer etc. But now she just walks into a house uncontested and starts throwing piano tuning equipment around like itās a ninja star insta-killing everyone.
Think Iāll just leave it at 2 seasons and move on.
Just been through the Pandorica with Matt Smith and the family. My god, brilliant writing and zero reference to the Drās skin colour and trouser content. Ah, the good old days.
Will have to check it out now. I love anything that pisses off those whiny cryarses.
Look at the viewing figures. Yeah, fucking babies. Literally nobody is buying this shit anymore but thatās all about the fans now isnāt it. Fed up of explaining fanbaiting.
i doubt it wasā¦
there really wasnt anything to get upset aboutā¦basically a witches coven is hiding two prodigious talentsā¦
i wont give away any spoilers, but the third episode is basically the explainer as to why the first two episodes played out the way they didā¦
i personally thought it went too long as i gathered everything that happens in the third episode from the first two episodes ā¦but it was still quite enjoyableā¦
maybeā¦MAYBEā¦the GWGB brigade were getting upset about the hints about not needing a male for conception, but i cant imagine its that big a dealā¦
Just agree that the force is female and allās cool. I remember being hauled over the coals for pointing that out a few years ago. Seems I was absolutely, utterly and evidently correct.
Funny that threads are cut with scissors 
Can I point out that āthe GWGB brigadeā have just pointed out what was going to happen, what was happening and what did happen? Thanks.
Or are Marvel, Starwars and Dr Why currently enjoying massive views and revenues thanks to embracing a distinctly Californian culture?
Oh and The Marvels, great filmā¦
The film was a box-office bomb, grossing $206 million worldwide against a gross production budget of $274.8 million, making it the lowest-grossing film in the MCU and one of the few MCU films not to break even in its theatrical run.
But itās the a fault of the writers, not the spreadsheet tick box hiring strategy.
Iāll go with the Spoilers
The kids were born of the force. The anger is coming from the idea this revelation supposedly ādiminishes Anakinā, by mirroring his immaculate conception. This is was presented in the PT as identifying him as the person who satisfied the prophecy of being the āchosen one to bring balance to the forceā. The frustration is seemingly that by Anakin no longer being unique in that regard itās pissed all over that part of the story line. But I donāt know how you can think that because we all knew at the time that this take on Anakin was wrong given we all knew who he would become and what he would do. The point of the āheās the chosen oneā was to demonstrate the folly of who the Jedi had become. If you accept that the prophecy was bollocks then there is no harm to Anakinās importance to show other kids created in a similar way. This is a legit direction to take with a new show because it fleshes out the idea from the PT that the Jediās attitude and actions helped lead to their own downfall. The angle is that it provides a bridge to the to Darth Plagueisā story of learning how to use the force to create/sustain life. My criticism of the first two episodes was that it felt like generic plot that had generic characters replaced by Jedi. This plot development makes it a legit star wars universe story. Weāll see if they do justice with it.
.
But of course the real issue is that these characters are women and thatās just DEI propaganda, or some shit like that.
Fuck me, of all the people to buy into this bollocks I didnāt think it would be you.
It is sad that you think that. Watching this episode and doing a touchdown dance at having had your criticisms of this pandering to wokeness be proven right is about as substantive as having your faith in god validated for you by seeing Jesusā face in your toast.
In this? And almost every other show currently being produced by Disney? After a while, if youāre seeing Jesus everywhere, there must be something going on.
Tell me youāve all seen the Southpark episode into the pandaverse?
Iām going to regret asking this, but we watched āThe Acolyteā last night and quite enjoyed it. What is the controversy about it? Does it break some long held fan canon?
