Without even opening the link, I guessed it. Sad.

That article is an insightful piece...I agree with him 100% too. They have no idea what they're doing over there with their film franchises, they are going to fail on an epic scale if they keep down this road.

I kind of liked it too, mostly for the small things...Tera Sinube cameo, that new Phase II clone that escorted the Pit droid into the meeting at the beginning, crazy Dr. Gubacher...even the zero-grav battle at the end was sort of cool.

Mini-Krell? I could have done without really. Just ggofy and annoying.

I'm also heartened that this is the second arc now featuring a Super Tactical Droid prominently. really hoping to get this guy made next year.

Aw yeah, I scored the B&W Walker 3-pack tonight at TRU, but the $50 price tag was a tough pill to swallow.

Guess we won't be seeing anything else until 2013...Wave 3, Michonne/Pets B&W 3-pack, etc.

Can't wait!

So...from the comments posted over at JTA, it sounds like this was the back-in-the-day revision wave with Wedge, NOT the wave Gammy was carried forward in earlier this year, which IMO was waaaaaay better.

So this is a little less appealing, to me at least. I guess we won't actually see all the missing waves from this year until 2013. That's a long time to wait for a Shae and Starkiller I refuse to pay a penny over MSRP for. Damn.

Does anyone know at which point of the book the first movie ends?

I am assuming it's probably right after they escape from goblins in the mountain, Gollum, etc.

Yeah, this is the kind of pap I was expecting when they announced the move to Saturday mornings. I guess the episodes with guys getting their limbs hacked off are all behind us now, eh?

Ugh, the "mid-season finale" is always a gut punch. Especially because this season has been so off-the-hook awesome. I have to think they are not going to wrap up the Battle of Woodbury next week, so I guess this will carryover the rest of the season.

Lots of interesting stuff from last night:

How does a crazy paranoid hermit even survive the zombie apocalype that long? Crazy people would be the first people to die it seems like, poor impulse control, etc.

Glenn/Walker mano a mano = freaking riveting! That whole scene was crazy good. That dude is officially a bad-ass. Not to mention taking that savage beating from Merle.

Scientist dude (also on The Good Wife in a recurring role) seems pretty clueless for having studied these things for so long. I'm glad they didn't decide to humanize the zombies though, I much prefer them as mindless killing machines as opposed to the gentle "pet" from Day of the Dead.

Interesting that Andrea gets so unnerved over that, but has no problems jumping over the wall to stick a walker in the eye in pretty much exactly the same manner the episode before. She's still all over the place, characterwise.

Agreed that the soundtrack was a little odd, I like stuff like that, but I kept thinking they were getting near that machine that was designed to attract the walkers.

I'm really relieved Maggie got a reprieve, I was hoping the writers would give her a break and not take that scene too far for the show. It was hard enough to watch as it was...ugh.

Almost equally distrubing was Merle's bayonet-stroking of Glenn earlier in the episode. It was impossible NOT to flash back to Michael Rooker's creepiest role ever as the homosexual rapist in Sea of Love trying to get all over Al Pacino. (And yes, it was even creepier than Henry the Serial Killer, IMO)

As much as you hate Merle, he's so compelling as a villain you almost want him to stick around a little longer. Not so much the Governor, whom I'd like to see them dispense with as quickly and painfully as possible.

Oh, and I loved Philip's sneaky remark about bringng in Glenn's hand. That was a nice nod to one of the storylines from the comic we will probably not see on the show.

Talking Dead had a great extended preview of next week's ep where Michonne is about to pull the bag off Penny's head...can't wait!!!

I got the same thing...I guess they are converting over points for some kind of holiday cash-back promotion?

That is a ridiculous slap in the fact considering how much money I drop in that place.
