I really like how this show doesn't spell things out, which really works on rewatch. We never really saw how Cassian got his little saw or found the access panel but he has been there for a month and he has already been using it for awhile. He also made friends it seems with the guy on the other table who helped him figure out that the elevator isn't wired for frying people. If they had to show every little obvious thing like that the episodes would be a lot longer and wouldn't be as good.

One interesting thing I noticed was they showed Bix running away, the cut to the scene with Saw then in the next scene she was in handcuffs without ever showing her getting captured. It was an effective way to show how for most people you can't run and their is no escape from the empire. Also when the other prisoner was giving Cassian the cell tour, was this the first mention of a toilet in Star Wars?

It's too bad this whole storyline ended up just being a Maddie gets kidnapped thing. Because what they did last week with her going to a pretty dark place to try and save a victim was actually interesting. Her having to deal with the trauma of that could have been interesting too. Also once again in the 911 world we get one of my most hated tropes where of course Athena finds out who the villain is and is also the first one to get to her. To make matters worse she was at the 911 dispatch centre and could have easily done the "all units" thing so the nearest cop to the house could have gotten there.

Buck's reaction to Eddie moving was pretty stupid. But I was pretty impressed by Maddie's story. Right or wrong her cold blooded move to get the guy to kill himself was surprising, and surprises don't really happen on shows like this. The ending was stupid. After how traumatic that last call was I can't believe Athena just told her to go home and hug her kid and start drinking. Not even an offer to drive her home or call her brother or husband so she would have some support. Or better yet talk to a counselor or someone before she left. And the very end where she was assaulted it was shot so weirdly I wasn't sure if it was the detective lady or if it was some weird surreal thing where bad-Maddie was back and trying to get rid of good-Maddie.

Surprisingly I actually knew that, since she was actually an Avengers back in the late 90's when I was reading comics. That said I still think of her from the cartoon I watched when I was a kid.

As a child of the 80's who loved Spiderman and His Amazing Friends that would be amazing. Although a character created for a kids cartoon might piss a bunch of people off.

He probably meant co-workers plural, so he is allowed to date one.

That looks pretty cool. I never really thought about why they called it the "Rebel Alliance" in the original trilogy, but it totally makes sense that if you have a dictatorship that covers a whole galaxy you are going to have all these different rebel groups starting up. Getting them to work together and agree on a common goal would be extremely difficult and would be super interesting.

Is there a disability that gives people tiny plastic hands?

That was so weird. Other than the puppet showing up I am not really sure what made it a PBS show.

Even Johnny was better than Daniel. He mentions this in the last season of Cobra Kai how he had been practicing karate for years and Daniel had 6 weeks of training. But Daniel's main strength I think wasn't defense or wax on wax off it was his ability to focus. That's what all those breathing exercises were about. It's actually kind of annoying this wasn't mentioned more in the CK show.

I thought the first season was awesome. The second season was good but seemed to rely too much on appearance from other SW characters. By season 3 it became a sequel to a show I had no interest in.

Eurotrip is freaking hilarious and has probably one of the best surprise cameos in a movie ever. While Whedon is clearly a shit bag, isn't that the rule that all minor actors have to be with a parent when working on a movie or TV set? Christopher Mintz-Plasse was 17 when they filmed Superbad so his mom had to supervise his sex scene. It's like right in the SAG rules for minors that a parent who is not also working has to be able to be close enough to their kid to see and hear them at all times.

That looks pretty awesome. And it's interesting that the best Star Wars stuff for me at least in the last several years has been the sophisticated show made for adults (Andor) and the goofy fun show made for kids (Skeleton Crew). Everything else that has tried to land in the middle and appeal to everyone hasn't really worked.

Isn't Kill Bill almost entirely ripped off from old martial arts movies?
