> 'Skelton Crew' stars Jude Law and is from Jon Watts, the filmmaker behind Tom Holland’s recent trilogy of Spider-Man films. It centers on a group of kids lost in the galaxy, trying to find their way home. The series is executive produced by The Mandalorian masterminds Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. It is set in the New Republic era of Star Wars storytelling.

It's more like a Saturday morning cartoon for kids than a show for adults now. Which is totally fine, it's still a fun watch but nothing about it lingers in memory.

Tried to watch the Coruscant episode with actual kids. It looked almost like they were being held hostage so I told them it was ok if they didn't want to watch. They instantly bolted upstairs, and have shown no interest in watching Mando since. That episode was not for kids in the slightest.

Maybe Favreau is losing hand.
I think is still funny, but is the least good season for sure.

I’m enjoying it
The second season was always going to be hard to top after all the cameos, big moments etc but this season has been fine for me

I think it was well written too. Too many shows have so much false conflict and this one didn’t. I also liked that Rose was only as helpful in fights as someone as her ability level could be.

Reply to anyone agree with me that if an actor plays a Character on a TV show for long enough you can't replace them or it is just weird? by Purple_Monkey34
Depends on the character. Like you said in soaps-more so than any other series. They change either because the actor decided to leave(many), died(Edward Quartermaine comes to mind), or taking the character in a different direction/aging the character. Unless the actor just doesn't do well, viewers tend to accept it....even if it takes awhile. Primetime for whatever reasons, viewers are a little pickier. Even when it's not an actor replacing another in the same character. Like when a character/actor leave, they bring in someone to be a new character-viewers always still compare them.

I really wished that they finished Get Shorty. Chris and Ray were brilliant

my generalizations of fandom communities were accurate, they rarely discuss the quality of a show or movie and mostly focus on the cool moments and what it all means for the future movies/shows. boba Fett and Obi-Wan are now almost universally panned, but reddit threads in dedicated subs were very positive. you won't see many or any critical comments even in threads for the worst marvel movies over at r/marvelstudios unless you sort for controversial. it's just how it is.

Reply to comment by kugglaw in Is the writing on Succession actually as good as everyone says it is? by sammybunsy
I’ve only seen Last of Us out of that group. Heard good thing about the other two though.
I feel like tLoU had a couple amazing episodes and a couple pretty subpar episodes. It was basically 50/50 whether I was going to like the show that week. But episode three I thought was potentially one of the best single episodes of tv I’ve seen in years. What a goddamn story, what moving writing, what touching performances. Just perfect. I was genuinely pissed when Ellie and Joel came back into the picture and was like “wait wtf I wanna still hang out with those guys…” lol

Terry and Dana are like the most high functioning high school couple of all time. They're like a non toxic Peter/MJ

It feels so disjointed this season. I have no clear understanding of the story arc this season. I had thought that it would be Din’s redemption journey but that was wrapped up in the second episode. That was a fun episode but I have no idea why they had the whole need to rebuild IG-11 in the first episode then dropped that plot point altogether. But I guess the pirates were supposed to be the focus? Although they were quickly dealt with in the most recent episode.
Episode 3 was a poor Andor-esque glimpse into the issues of the New Republic. It just felt jarring and hasn’t really flowed with the next few episodes.
There have been a couple of fun episodes but overall I’m starting to lose interest.
Andor has spoiled me when it comes to dialogue and storytelling. I don’t care about perfect sets or bad CGI, but give me actual dialogue between characters. Repeating “This is the way” multiple times doesn’t cut it.
Exposition is fine, but I’m not feeling any character motivations or any sense of urgency or tension from any of the characters.
I could go on, but in the end it doesn’t matter. The Mandalorian gets higher ratings than Andor did, so there is no motivation for Disney to make any changes.

I mean it's still good all things considered but for what is basically one of if not the biggest and most anticipated shows on at the moment this isn't living up to the hype. The writing, the stories, the action, the sets, it's all just ok.

I mean there's the time that a clone trooper was blown out into space when his gun turret blew up. Also at least one TIE Fighter pilot did the same thing.
Problem is they didn't get to come back inside.

I enjoy it. My friends are complaining that it's meandering, but I found the first 2 seasons meandering as well. Lots of side quest.

I enjoy the neato creature designs.

I wouldn’t say great, don’t get me wrong, I love to see new upcoming actors given a chance and I’m hoping it will get better with the 2nd season. Probably how Netflix can afford a 2nd with actors that don’t need millions. But hey this could be some breakout actors we’re seeing. Probably had to do with some of the script,dialogue and directing of scenes that made it feel a little amateur to me. The main actor was giving me Reacher vibes from Amazon “which I enjoyed watching”.

Yeah I figured with how the episodes are titled that something like that would be the case, it’s kinda silly to judge a show based on its first episode anyways, so the thoughts I had were very tentative.

Maybe my version of the episodes is a better version, because in mine I dont see any problem with depth or image.

Your no dunce, there’s plenty of tv shows airing right now. It’s hard to keep up. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Reminds me of my dad, so I enjoy watching it. Though my dad always had a cigarette in his mouth. Same hair, same stache, same dipples.
