  1. Really enjoyed the episode. Will need to watch again to really get my thoughts. Almost lost because of the ending, something Sabine said kind of stuck to my mind. She said that her master didn’t listen to her about Mandalore. So were Ahsoka and Sabine first training together back then when Mandalore was glassed by the Empire. Is that part of the reason they ended up stop training together?
  2. That was also Mordred. Because of the rate of infant mortality being so high, one family having multiple children with the same name isn’t so uncommon back then. However, it is a bit more unusual with this being a ‘grown’ man who died and then naming the next child the same name. I do think as it looks like the mother of baby Mordred is a lot younger then the King and closer to Arthur’s age so I am guessing that this is not the King's first wife and mother of the elder Mordred. I also think the show runners were wanting to do a tease to people who know the Arthurian legends. Of course they did another tease this new episode. I will keep watching despite the show kind of dragging because I love the Arthurian legends.
  3. We have seen Ahsoka do the mind read thing in her Mando episode in season 2 with Grogu. We have seen Ahsoka do the mind read thing in her Mando episode in season 2 with Grogu.
  4. Really enjoyed the episodes. I really like that this show, Andor and the Mandolorian each have their own feel. While I enjoyed being dropped into this story/world, i do have to wonder if people who hadn’t watched Rebels would enjoy it as much. Should they have added a little more exposition to help those people or would it have been jarring if there had been too much. i feel this show needs Book of boba fett type flashback because I am curious about Baylen and his apprentice. Also wanting to see what happened with Ahsoka and Sabine. If this wasn’t Star Wars and also Disney, I would almost have thought that Sabine and Ahsoka had a relationship that went further than just Master/Padawan especially with Hera giving off the vibe of the friend trying to help her friends realize they still belong together. On a more serious note, I found it interesting Ahsoka mentioning how she walked away from both Anakin and Sabine. Then you include her not wanting to train Grogu and this should be interesting if they explore this more. Need more Chopper and his wanting to commit more war crimes. Really enjoying all the lightsaber fights.
  5. I really fear where this surrogacy storyline is going to go. Not only is it going to have two new actresses in the roles of established characters, I fear the soapy elements they are going to add to this story. The main fear is that this ends up causing some kind of love triangle between the sisters and TJ. I am enjoying KM as Kristina so far. I was a bit wary after seeing her on DOOL. I do think they are going over the top with her butting in/pushy personality in some situations like with the Sonny/Anna scenes and the scenes where Sam at the Metro Court. Do enjoy it when she was using it to give attitude to Joss. This is a pipe dream as i doubt if Kristina is to have a love interest it would be another woman. I am almost certain that they will be giving her a male love interest since she is bi. It will likely be Chase, Cody or I fear TJ. Outside shot Dex. However, I think these last few episodes gave two possible female love interests which could be very soapy. First is the new nanny Betty. It could be interesting for Sonny to try to stop something from happening with them without letting on that he knows the truth about her. There have been plenty of good soap storylines where a bad guy/girl changes due to falling in love. A bonus is that the actress playing Betty is a member of the LGBTQ community. The other is even less likely than Betty but I thought of it after Thursday’s episode and that is Esme. If they want to keep Avery as Esme and want to make her somewhat redeemable this could be a route without being at Spencer/Trina’s expense.
  6. Man Hope was on fire again today. Liam looked like he didn’t know what hit him. It was hysterical seeing his expression change when he realized she wasn’t going to be begging for forgiveness and that she was accepting his wanting a divorce. Liam seemed to really give away that he was looking to have Hope keep asking for forgiveness when he mentioned that he had to do a lot more to earn back her trusts when he cheated. All his talk about not being able to forgive Hope seems like it was more bluster than what he really wanted. I think he wanted Hope show how sorry she was to earn back his trust by probably firing Thomas and/or Hope walking away from HFTF, possibly limit Thomas’ access to Douglas and other things for Hope to prove her devotion to him. I was a bit worried Hope was going to backslide at the beginning when she wanted to talk to Liam about their marriage and their future. However it seems she wanted to see if Liam could have an honest conversation about all the problems in their marriage but Liam couldn’t or wouldn’t do it and instead dismissed Hope’s feelings. Once he did that Hope just flipped a switch and continued standing up for herself. I have to agree with others saying that Thomas and Hope should not be a long term couple. Let them both realize that this isn’t about them being in love and is about Hope looking to move on from Liam. Don’t think she should move onto Wyatt. She needs to steer clear of that family. Have someone new come in for Hope. hell maybe even two new people. Hell maybe even a lady for Hope. Hell just let Hope have her fun till she finds a real one true love that isn’t Liam or Thomas. also if you do it right, you can have Thomas move on and give him a love interest without it being icky.
  7. As someone mentioned in the last couple of pages, this would be a good time to bring back Emma. Not only as a possibly counter Joss but also would be perfect for Anna’s storyline. Either she could comeback acting out due to finding out about Anna’s past or maybe coming back to be part of the PCPD so that she can try to bring ‘honor’ back to the family. The Gladys/Sasha storyline is dragging too long. Also Selina continuing to do all this under Sonny’s nose doesn’t help his image as a mob boss. Also in agreement with Molly and TJ being overly harsh about Kristina. I can by Molly being over reactive due to her always being the good girl and not causing problems. Hell she was even in pain for a while and not complaining and this happens to her. And as messy as Kristina can be she is perfectly fine to have a child. yeah TJ was ridiculous. The show is really leaning too hard on Kristina being wrong or messy all the time. It is like she has a thought and her family are against it. hell Alexis should have wanted Kristina to speak to Maxie and hope that Maxie would be able to explain the difficulties of being a surrogate for someone they are close to. I am not having that much of an issue with the nuKristina especially in comparison to the nuMolly or tempMolly. I am curious to see her with a love interest though I am expecting them to pay lip service to her bisexuality and strictly test with men. Probably Chase, Cody and/or Dex though I doubtful about Dex as i don’t think you bring in a name actress in a recast to basically play loser to Joss. More than likely Chase or Cody though I would prefer if they were going to do love triangles with either guys and their current love interests that maybe spice things up with making a real triangle where all pairings would be an option.
  8. Isn’t Bill rich? Shouldn’t he have people who work at his mansion as I doubt he takes care of things himself? How can Liam stay there and Bill not be notified by someone on the house staff? I can understand Wyatt not bringing it up but why the hell isn’t RJ reminding Liam that he had cheated on Hope before and was forgiven? Seriously what is it with Brooke and her family that feel the need to basically beg Liam to forgive Hope instead of being angry that after all the crap Liam has put Hope through that he automatically gives up on his marriage? Oh god why do I feel that Sheila showing up again means that she is going to become involved or be an issue with Finn and Steffy? Somehow something will happen with Sheila that causes problems with them which will give Liam and Steffy another excuse for an affair. I know bringing up Beth is important reminder to both Hope and Liam what they should be fighting for but bringing up Douglas? The kid would be overjoyed if his parents were to be together and also if Hope and Liam get back together Douglas would always be a tie to Thomas. Did Brooke stay in the bedroom while Hope and Thomas got dressed?
  9. I have to agree with those saying that Hope is trying to convince herself of having deeper feelings for Thomas and that he is a good guy to make all of this worth it. I think that she sees how Thomas is singularly about her and has been doing this whole triangle with Liam and Steffy for long that she thinks Thomas’ feelings for her are special. She doesn’t realize that this is the least she should expect for a partner/husband because she has put up with Liam’s wavering for so long. Also I don’t think that she is using Liam going to Steffy as justification or a whataboutism. I think it showed that Liam would always look for a reason to go to Steffy.
  10. With that spoiler if true, I am really wondering where the writers are trying to go with this season. I have been enjoying it for the most part but it feels like it is meandering. I am not sure where they are trying to go with the season. The perfect example of this is Betty and Veronica. What are they trying to do with them this season? Are they actually going to have them hook up or is this just teasing and will go back to Archie and Betty soon? Last night’s episode definitely made it seem like they may become more than just friends but I expect that to change.
  11. Okay don’t usually post but these recent events and how they are playing out made me want to post some thoughts. Kind of annoyed that the show is treating the friendship of Brooke and Taylor as the reason they weren’t going back to Ridge instead of a byproduct of them both realizing that they had to put an end to the never ending triangle. While the show is very obviously wanting to make Taylor be responsible for the end of the friendship, they sure had Brooke basically acting like the friendship was holding her back from having the life she really wanted. I know this will never happen but I wish this Thomas/Hope thing would eventually be about Hope realizing she no longer wants/desires Liam like she used to or that she is feeling sexually repressed. Have her and Thomas stop before crossing the line and maybe even have Thomas help her see that this has more to do with her than actually desiring Thomas. Have her explore her wild side with other men and hell maybe even women. Have Thomas really move on and find love with someone else. Then in the future maybe they can try Thomas and Hope. Maybe in a long time from now.
  12. I am sort of mixed about the finale. I didn’t mind the ends for most except for Ted. That’s why I hope if there is a new season or spinoff he is part of it. I think the show set up a great way to continue with Ted and some of the other characters which is to have Rebecca have her women’s football team in the US with Ted coaching it.
  13. This episode was very much a story about Poet and Hour. The first two episodes their main interactions were in the past where Poet was the one at ease and Hour was shy and timid. And the one present scene before was one where they were obviously close friends both at ease with each other. This episode is present and future of them and the dynamics are so startling different. The ease of the previous present scene this episode had more of an underlining building of something more than just friendship but also there was hints of future tensions about Hour’s work. The future is really interesting as Hour is the one at ease and Poet is the one who is struggling. I really am curious what happens with them in the present that causes this. How close did they get? Hour mentions telling Poet that she loved her. Hour’s wife obviously knows all about Poet and the way they say they were friends to Hour’s child in a way that clearly meant there was more to it. I feel dumb that I hadn’t put my theory last episode that Tayo’s AI was a corrupted version of what Hour was working on when Lennox told Poet to speak to Hour since she was the only one who knew the code. Really interesting that little things like the bullet proof glass without telling his wife are indicators of what we see of Tayo in the future. I wonder where his wife is in the future. Also forgot to mention previously how I thought it was a nice touch with all the FBI cars in the future being electronic. Of course now this episode it might not be such a good thing. Was the whole driving test for Poet the only past in this episode?
  14. This was another good episode. It gave good insight into Tayo’s character. Also continued to show how Tayo’s and Poet’s worldviews seem to destined to clash even though they try to be friends. Guess Hour was right about Tayo eventually getting married. Speaking of Hour, it is interesting that we see her and Poet’s first fight and then in the future we learn they haven’t spoken for 9 years. And Poet’s face there definitely says it wasn’t just a case of two people losing touch and drifting apart. This also makes me think that Hour must have come out clean from the present day investigation or Lennox wouldn’t have told Poet to see her about the information Garza left behind. I wonder if the investigation is the cause of Poet and Hour no longer being in touch. Not sure what to make of Poet’s eye. Really wanting the backstory on that. Also wondering about all the changes Tayo has made with the training with the FBI that Lennox was talking about. I wonder how much of the past will be part of reason for these changes. Also it is interesting that it seems that in trying to make everything uniform and fair across the board, Tayo has gone to far in taking the human element out of it.
  15. This was a really solid pilot. Enjoyed it quite a bit and couldn’t wait to see the next episode. Definitely agree that Poet is favorite character already and if we were just following her, I would still watch. Intrigued by the Poet/Tayo/Hour dynamic. Seems like Poet and Tayo are being set up as possible antagonists in the future but were friends in the past. Not sure what the relationship is in the present. Then you have Tayo seeming to notice Hour being focused on Poet with the guy(forgot his name) in the past. In the present, the guy has Poet investigating Hour for something she is working on. We don’t see Tayo in the present but I wonder if he hinted to the guy that Poet should be the one to investigate Hour knowing of her in the past seemingly having a thing for Poet or if at some point everyone figures this out.
