Fool to cry

I only watched a few early episodes when it started airing and just started bingewatching and am now midway through season 3. After so many heavy prestige shows and complicated Arrowverse shows Smallville is such a fast watch. You breeze through episodes so quickly. There were so many actors before they were famous as "freak of the week". If Smallville High had an assembly where they ask "Who here has powers?" half the student body would have their hand up! I hope they have insanely long epilogue/codas to each episode too!

I'm ashamed to admit it did not occur I'm ashamed it hadn't occurred to me before the episode how Ahsoka would feel after finding out what Anakin had become and how that would weigh on her in the decade since. Of course she would feel guilt and of course she would be reluctant to pass on his teachings! I was having Incredibles 2 Elastigirl flashbacks!

Loved it. Loved the flashbacks. Hayden did a good job of being Clone Wars Anakin. I don't know if it was all in Ahsoka's head. If it was Jacen wouldn't hear it. Man Mary Elizabeth Winstead is wearing the hell out of those pants.

Yeah it would have been nice if they were that way from the beginning but I don't think Indy would have wanted to stay in the past if he had connected with her so fast. Just watched a 1968 Ironside episode on one of the nostalgic comfort channels and it has that hilarious Hollywood depiction of Hippies where they talk like Beatniks and are in bad wigs. Made me think how if DoD had actually been made in 1969, Helena would look more Haight Ashbury than Carnaby Street with long, unbrushed hair, say "groovy" a lot, take LSD and call Indy a "square" who needs to "get with it". Indy would lecture her like he's Jack Webb on DRAGNET and in the end after she had the change of heart be dressed in conservative hair and clothes looking like one of Nixon's daughters!

I am now realizing the only reason they built up the love story with Lois(which was not really in the comics at that point) in the first movie was for this plot turn of Superman having to give up his powers to be with her in the second.

On the one hand people would enjoy the movie more if you removed this "WTF?!" ending, on the other hand would we even remember Remember Me without it?

That's the benefits of an episodic TV show where she's the protagonist who can break the 4th wall and confide to the audience over a 2 and a half hour movie where she's a supporting character who can't! The jokes and clever lines might have been obvious and been unsubtle but her change of heart and growing sympathy towards Indy was for some viewers.

Unless they're villains audiences hate female characters that make things difficult for the main character. Even if they do help at the end they aren't forgiven for spending most of the time being a hindrance. Helena and Willie being examples. I think it was important to the story for Helena to be a big problem to Indy. He was in such a funk that only her brazen amorality could get him out of it. His scolding and guilt tripping throughout and just being a parent without her asking having to ask for it is what changed her and better than having an emotional scene IMO.

I agree, they fumbled it and shouldn't have said anything.

Aww man Sabine's carried so much guilt already over Mandalore. If Thrawn comes back and starts another war and people die including her friends. Although it if took 5 seconds for a lightsaber to destroy the map, just blasting it wouldn't have done it. Also if the New Republic would have listened to Hera the fleet could have stopped the hyperspace ring so there.

Dermot Mulruney came on as her boss and was just dropped with no explanation. I wonder if it was foresight that made them write that problematic story of Phoebe's half brother Frank marry his twice his age high school teacher? Like Lisa had just gotten married and probsbly going to she would be pregnant but they didn't want to have Phoebe be a mom or hide it but If she were a surrogate to his brother's wife.... Like that's why he needed to be with someone older.

Middle class Molly is the most believable to me. More than upper class(Breakfast Club) and lower class(Pretty in Pink).

If the New Republic was shown to be perfect and not have problems I wouldn't have believed it. I think unlike other media where the system is shown to be corrupt and can't be fixed, the Federation and New Republic are institutions that still have good, people fighting for it's ideals.

My feeling is Ahsoka didn't need to pull herself to the ship because Sabine was right there. Leia's was a desperation move that took all her remaining strength. Until Huyang said it, it didn't occur to me that there was now this unbroken line of master and apprentice from Yoda to Dooku to Qui-Gon to Obi-Wan to Anakin to Ahsoka and now to Sabine. I had been so focused on the Yoda training Luke and Luke training others.

Shin Hati? More like Shin Hottie! Love the Ahsoka and Sabine interactions more in this episode plus Huyang. Aww Jacen. Always love seeing more of Genevieve O'Reilly's Mon Mothma.

Besides the flying sequences, a lot of the success is that men in their 50s can live vicariously through Cruise and be like "I'm still cool and relevant, I'll show these young punks I'm better than them and also I get to be with Jennifer Connelly!"

Ha! RIP Bob. Thanks for those sick days.

"I have become Mirth. The Amuser of worlds."

Until somebody pointed it out on one of those VH1 decade shows I didn't realize how funny it was all those times when the Bionic Woman used her bionic hearing she needed to pull her hair back from her ear!

I had to calculate after watching that while it's more than 5 years after Return of the Jedi and the Empire's fall this takes place more than a decade after the Rebels series finale which was a year before A New Hope. Its going to take me a while to adjust to the live action version of the characters. I could accept the Rosario Dawson Ahsoka before with characters we know from live action like Din and Luke but seeing her interact with others from animation shows how different her Ahsoka is. Like I can't picture animated Ahsoka doing the arms crossed and tilting back and eyes almost closed thing! I do like the new characters like Ray Winsone and his apprentice. The red opening crawl was cool.

Everytime I see it's a flashback episode to 10 years earlier and I see Laura has a 60s flip bouffant hairdo in the 50s.
