Shoot, sorry to hear that, man. That’s never fun.

I remember loving the concept when I watched it. I don’t remember how good the plot was.

You’d be surprised what a pair of coveralls and a ladder will do in lieu of a security clearance 😉

Indeed. My dad used to do sales/installs and when doing a quotation in a prison, he wasn’t subjected to a lot of the regular restrictions (since he needed tools for measuring and such). He was allowed to walk right in, no questions asked, with a bunch of stuff that prisoners could have potentially used to get themselves out of jail. When you look like you have a job to do, no one’s going to stop and ask what you’re doing.

Half an hour, assuming it’s the only shows you’re trying to keep up with. Most people have several shows on the go. For me, the choice becomes one between Marvel and everything else (though usually I can keep up with both Star Wars and Marvel, if that’s all I watch).

You never saw Aliens? It’s incredible.

No, he said he never saw the sequels.

Agreed, but mostly because I’m a busy adult now. There was a time when I would have loved this pace. Now it’s just hard to keep up.

It could be that YouTube’s at fault then. I’ll have to check it out on Disney+.

I’m starting to wonder if the ships just look cheap on my computer screen. Does no one else notice that they seem badly edited into several shots?

Yeah, it seems ridiculously dumb in a show featuring a guy who kills people and in a franchise where some of the main characters are slaves at some point. If it were a kids show it would be different.

I’m looking forward to this, though I really hope some of those shots aren’t finished. The composition of several shots in that trailer makes the starships look ridiculously fake.

Yeah, it concerns me a little bit. The only solution would basically be to replace our bee population with Asian bees…

Why would the decline of masculinity be worth celebrating? The decline of toxic masculinity, sure, but that’s not masculinity…

I was being tongue-in-cheek. Doesn’t translate well in text, I know.

Ah, gotcha.

I live in Canada, where he’s visiting right now, and because I’m preparing to be a priest, I was asked to be an altar server at the papal Mass in my city. Before the Mass, he came and shook hands with all those serving at the Mass, which I wasn’t expecting at all! I originally didn’t think I’d even be that close to him.

I got to meet the Pope today, so that was pretty cool.

LOL, it’s funny how the subconscious works…

Google is your friend… He was the third guy in space and the first NASA astronaut to orbit the earth.

I think people who say that are more concerned about rapid social change than actual economic policies. But I could be wrong.

Haha! I hadn’t even thought of what Obi-Wan does for the continuity there…

I’m not sure why. Roe v. Wade isn’t about whether abortion should be allowed or not. It’s about whether the U.S. Constitution guarantees a right to it. It’s mind-boggling that people could read abortion rights into the Constitution.

That’s always a good feeling. Keep it up!

I created a thread like this, but no one besides me ever posted in it. Hopefully this iteration does better. 😛

COVID hits people in a lot of different ways. I basically just had a mild cold/flu and that was it. Lasted about two days.

Agreed. The teaser was edited to portray a very different Boba Fett than the actual show did.

I really wish we didn’t have Obi-Wan and Vader duel, but I really liked seeing a younger Vader in action.

The first part of the episode was excellent. I like that we’re getting a universe that looks lived in again and Ewan and little Leia are just great.

I don’t really get what people mean by saying this looks cheap overall. There are a couple scenes that stick out like a sore thumb (Leia running through the woods, the far shot of the big fish in the desert, Vader in the McQuarrie lair on Mustafar, etc.) but on the whole, I think most scenes look movie quality. Maybe it’s just that I’m watching the show on my laptop, or maybe my brightness is too low. I don’t know. I’d love to see some screenshots or something that illustrate what the heck people are talking about.

Me too! I’m quite happy for you.
