The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
I disagree with the need to watch the entirety of season 7. You could probably take a handful of Ahsoka eps throughout the first five seasons and the final four eps from s7 and get emotionally invested enough for Rebels to hit you in the feels.

I think I may have Covid-19 thread - 2 confirmed cases
My grandmother went to the hospital on Thursday for low O2. She'd just started chemo three weeks ago for the leukemia she's had off-and-on for at least the last 25 years, so they figured that was the cause. By Friday, she tested positive. Yesterday she asked to be taken off meds and O2. Now we wait for the inevitable.

Baby Jabba was pretty fucking cute. If someone thinks Ziro the Hutt is fabulous, who am I to question?

Outside of the hidden Jedi possibility I discussed above, (perhaps as a bounty hunter sub for Greef), I don't think we get a new Jedi as part of the seven samurai. I see the below list as the likely team. (Maybe sub Bo-Katan's two mandos for Cara and Greef.) 1. Mando 2. Boba 3. Fennec 4. Cara 5. Mayfeld 6. Greef 7. Bo-Katan I think it is now more likely that we find a Jedi in a Mandalorian vault (for imprisoning Jedis, e.g. the one used on Maul in Clone Wars) on Moff Gideon's ship. I don't think it will be Ezra because I read somewhere about some possible canon where Sabine was still looking for him a couple of years later.

If there is a Jedi, I'd expect a Kanan Jarrus type introduction. That is, he or she will have an assumed name and use a blaster, pulling the light saber out at the last minute.

Great ep. great directing job by Robert Rodriguez. Not a wasted moment and it clears up so much.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
I liked most of the Jar Jar and droid episodes. Jar Jar is funny. They're not as much of a drag as the s7 Ahsoka eps on Coruscant.- Star Trek Discovery: Season 2 - It Got Good. Real Good. (Ep 1 inside)
Tilly belongs in the WTF thread.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
What's even more mindblowing is how well the end of CW s7 matches up to ROTS.- Scifi/Fantasy Book Recs
Finished Rhythm of War just now. It sprawls a bit much. At this point, he might as well release books in 200-page novella form. Keeps things tighter.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
Given that she wanted to interrogate the Magistrate and that the beskar spear is an odd weapon, (compared to a staff, a light saber, or a blaster), it's no wonder the fight progressed slower than we'd expect given how she fought Maule in CW s7.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
Great ep.- Obscure movies from your youth
- Star Trek Discovery: Season 2 - It Got Good. Real Good. (Ep 1 inside)
Bump. Another good episode.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
She'd eat Baby Yoda. And Carl Weathers spent way too much time on his character this episode. Sorry, we aren't emotionally invested in him.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
He's a bad-ass, but life is tough out on the (Outer) Rim.- Why would someone watch Star Trek: The Next Generation (over and over again)
TNG had a great leading man, a mediocre to good backing cast, the limited special effects of the time, and the even more limited constraints of 22-episode seasons with episodic writing. The influence of Wesley from season 1 never quite wore off so that later, more adult-themed episodes seemed incongruous rather than an organic development. IOW, it could never fully escape being a kid show. Would love to see a reboot, though it would be hard to replace Stewart.- Do we have an anime thread?
The Last Airbender is a kids show. It's also probably the best animated series of the early 2000s.- Do we have an anime thread?
I tried to watch Brotherhood years ago, but I'd just finished binging Fullmetal Alchemist and it couldn't maintain my interest even one ep in. Should I give it another chance?- Do we have an anime thread?
In the last five or ten years, the only animes I've watched and can remember the names are stuff like Psycho-Pass, Black Butler, Blue Exorcist, and the Seven Deadly Sins. I also watched the fan-dub end of Dragon Ball Super on YouTube a couple of years ago. And, of course, One Punch Man. No accounting for taste or qualify.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
Slower-than-light travel points to travel to the Unknown Regions. It was a plot point in Rebels. Sabine + Ahsoka + the child also point to the Unknown Regions.- Star Trek Discovery: Season 2 - It Got Good. Real Good. (Ep 1 inside)
Saru is Spock/Data/Odo/7. He's trying to find his way in a fallen human world while upholding the dignity of the Federation.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
It doesn't advance the plot? 1. Mando is a wanted criminal to both the Imperial remnants and to the New Republic, even if his actions are understandable to the Republic. 2. Sublight travel exists and is used for purposes other than the hyperdrive being down. Probably a Rebels tie-in. 3. The New Republic isn't the Federation. They stopped to help, but left fixing the ship to Mando. And filler? This is an hour of the Child and fangirl squeeing. Shit, we saw that upthread: "Eat that egg, you little green bastard. Yeah. Yeah." Sploosh.- Star Trek Discovery: Season 2 - It Got Good. Real Good. (Ep 1 inside)
The writers are still too episodic.This isn't the Brady Bunch. Characters conflicts can extend over more than one episode. - The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
