TV-9D9 / Re: Rebels sequel coming to Disney+?
« on: February 11, 2020, 03:35 PM »
I'm okay with that.  I've never really liked any of the SW cartoon shows.  However, Rebels was incredible and I loved it.  I loved that they would weave movie characters into the story, but they most certainly were not the focal point.

So I'd be completely okay with another addition to that story line.

I wasn’t expecting this chapter to venture to this particular planet in chapter 5!

Me neither.  I thought that was pretty cool. I was actually checking to see if they were where I thought they were and then they said it.

Overall, pretty decent episode.  I hope to see both of those characters down the road.

Man I'm loving this show.  I watched episode 4 while I was on the crosstrainer this morning after a little time in the weight room.

Anyway, I love the adventure of the week feel, but with an underlying story that follows along.  This is a great series for a non-SW fan.

Watched the first half of the episode on the cross trainer at the gym.  Then watched the second half last night and almost fell asleep.  My god, it was another filler episode with stupid decisions to drive the plot.

I really wonder why I keep coming back.

Nick, I think, at least for me, it's just a case of the same thing over and over again.

I guess you can only come up with so much new stuff over 10 seasons, but it feels like a bunch of filler and pointless stuff that leads to nothing. To me the last several episodes are starting to feel like an extended season 2....lots of talk about feelings and a plot that is leading anywhere or keeping anyone hooked.

I'm not sure what anyone is looking for.  Maybe we'd like to see the human struggle in a given situation, but there just isn't any of that.  Morals are gone, unlike season 2.  That's one thing that kept me coming back during 2...there was a moral/ethical debate at it's center.  Not so much now, at least to me.

Again I think filler is a subjective term.

I think that's fair.  It just didn't draw me in and I didn't really wonder what was going to happen.  It just didn't make me think and just felt, like I said, filler stuff until Siddiq was killed.  And again, seems to be a pattern with TWD, build a character for a few episodes, make you like them a bit, and then kill them off.  To me it's getting old.

Uuuuummmmmm...another filler episode with nothing until the last minute?

This season has been terrible?  1 of 7 episodes has actually been interesting to me.  I know we all gripe, but I really wonder how long I'll keep watching and when I'll just give up and catch it all down the road.

All I can say is that first episode was really, really good.

I think knowing a little Mandalorian backstory is good, but could certainly be enjoyed by someone not versed in Star Wars.  Very quickly it got into the main character being more than one dimensional.  That's obviously a really good thing.

^^Agreed.  This wasn't a crap episode.  Of course, I have to complain they waited until Ep6 to actually do something with the storyline.

I can't imagine Neegan actually wanting to get on board with the Whispers.  He's undoubtedly got a motive for what he's doing.  Afterall, it's not like he went looking for them.  You know his mind was thinking while he was going for his blind nature walk.

I thought that I'd be able to just pick up where I left off in the episode, just like Netflix.  But no.  I couldn't find an option to pick up where I had left off on the previous viewing (Netflix and Amazon Prime have that option).  It's a picking point, and I hope Disney+ can address that.

This is the same thing I experienced.  I was watching from my phone, and while I could find search the show and it would pick up where I left off (Mandalorian, and 2012 Avengers), I had to search the show and their wasn't the Netflix type option of continuing the show where I left off.  I think Disney will fix that though.  I'm not a software guy, but I can't imagine that being a real big deal.

Anybody streaming yet?  I've heard a lot of people are having trouble with some shows. 

I tried to check out The Mandalorian, but it wasn't letting me.  I had a buddy down that hall watching it during lunch and he screenshotted a pic for me.

So I just clicked the little magnifying glass, found The Black Hole, and started watching that.  I haven't seen it since I was a kid.

Well that was a Neegan I could get on board with.  I like the spin they've put on him with this episode.  It was far better than the aimless crap they were pumping out the last few.  Now, I wonder if he is going to be a good, bad, or gray man.

Well, the AMC app was giving me fits so I missed like the last two minutes.  Did I miss anything?

As for the episode, Alpha is creepy, and she shows mercy because of context.  Carol likes to stay hyped up and sees stuff.

Some other stuff happened.  People talked.  Negan and Aaron went for a nature walk.  Some other stuff happened.

Filler episode?  Or just what did I watch?

You know, it used to be I'd stop everything else I was doing when this show came on.  Now, I'm working on other stuff while it's on and I'm finding that I'm not missing anything.

I hate to sit and bitch every time this show is on, but I've watched for 9 seasons, so I guess I want to know how it ends.  Again, is any of this creating a storyline, or is it just a filler episode early in the season?  Is it a flashback episode, filled with flashbacks, or is it a "current timeline" episode?

So whatever, I guess the Whispers will be built up to be the next super-bad guy and we'll have an "epic" war that lasts all of 5 minutes and ends in an anti-climactic scene.

I finished watching online this morning. 

Meh...

No real "new" storylines created.  We'll see what happens, but it's starting to grow stale with me.
