Reply to The Big Door Prize review – Chris O’Dowd’s comic timing is immaculate in this beautifully light sci-fi by PetyrDayne
O’Dowd always had immaculate comic timing. See The IT Crowd.

Reply to African Folktales Reimagined on Netflix by meatball77
If you're interested in this, check out Tinga Tinga tales, a colorful, beautiful children's cartoon about African fables. Very pretty show, with terrific voice acting. Mainly for kids but it's worth a look. I especially liked the Tortoise one!:

If Ahsoka ends up being a follow-up to the whole Ezra thing, it could very well be the fifth. Sixth, if you count Boba Fett's baby Rancor and cadre of street-racing juvenile delinquents.
Plus at least one episode of Visions and Tales of the Jedi apiece, and about five minutes of flashbacks in Andor.
And I've done the math on the timeline, and I've got 50/50 odds that The Acolyte is gonna be about Baby Sheev Palpatine. Just you people wait.

And honestly thats all I want sometimes. Not just in shows but film too. I don't need everything to be a deep exploration of the human experience, sometimes I just want to watch some fun space battles or see some heroes beat up some villains. As long as it's fun and entertaining that's all I needed.

There was one surprise appearance which I absolutely loved.

BDH came out as a surprise from The Mandalorian Season 1! She's one of the good directors and it's more evident when her episode is probably the best episode in The Book of Boba Fett.

It's a sci-fi show, it's already "wrong", it doesn't try to be the real world lol.

Stop whatever you're doing and go see it. Unless you're saving people's life, than first save them and bring them to see Andor with you.

Where’s the editor? ‘Maria’ Antoinette, The Fall apparently not being in English, and Tin Star being Australian. Sloppy.

Reply to comment by Sherringdom in BBC to cut 1,000 hours of new TV programming in 2023 to save money by Kagedeah
companies are doing both though, they are cutting staff and raising prices. It's a horrible feedback loop as the more people lose jobs the worse the market will get, causing even more cost-cutting measures as nobody can afford high prices. BBC sees the writing on the wall - who's gonna keep paying for their tv license after their income stops?
Thanks to AI models it's gonna keep escalating too, fun stuff

> I received no real idea where the series was going, what the overarching plot was, or why I should care
I really don’t get this take and there are several people saying this in the thread.
By a) bringing Bo Katan back in to the fold as a regular and b) actually going to mandalore, is it not incredibly obvious that the series is going to now focus on retaking mandalore?
That’s been explicitly laid out now at the end of this weeks episode, but blind Freddy could see that was going to be the case in episode 1.

So it's now the fourth (?) Star Wars show that's adults escorting lost kid/s back home?

This situation is quite unique though because the license fee has been frozen but inflations gone up, so there’s no option but to make cuts. Other businesses are just raising prices.

Reply to Help. Lg tv display gone blank by Competitive_Travel92
For what it's worth, unless it's a super expensive TV, getting a new one is probably not a whole lot more expensive than replacing the motherboard.
You can get a pretty large screen smart TV for just over $300.

Every third post in /r/marvelstudios - "I just don't get all the hate that [poorly rated movie] is getting..." followed by comments from people who seem to genuinely believe some of us paid money to see an MCU movie just so we could shit on them on Reddit.

Season 4 basically only existed to set up season 5, it didn't have the usual season 'end' and pretty much only moved it forward to season 5's endgame. It felt like season 4 was twice as long because of it, with a dumb storyline.
