Anyone seen Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney? I'm really interested in this. Is it at least as good as The Mandalorian or The Book of Boba Fett?
I hope they don't fuck it up. Theirs is one of the better ones, imo.Originally Posted by Jerjo

I enjoyed Obi Wan Kenobi.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

^ I did not. The writing I found quite lacking.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.

Thanks Ian.
And how did you feel about The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett?

Watched Clickbait on Netflix. I thought it was great... until the last episode, which I found unbelievable (ymmv). Up until then I was hooked. I thought it was kinda similar to a true crime docuseries. The acting from the leads was pretty stellar; and, no, I didn't find the sister annoying. But, man, that last episode. Oy vey.

I'm not sure the Star Wars franchise was ever known for its writing

The Mandalorian is great. Boba Fett was fine, basically unnecessary and uneven, but enjoyable.

That's not an excuse, really.

No, but it should lower expectations

Anyone watching The Bear yet? It's a restaurant-centered drama about a James Beard-winning chef who returns to Chicago to run his recently-deceased brothers' run-down place. The restaurant scenes seem pretty authentic to me (and my wife, who has far more experience in that world than I), and halfway through the season there's plenty of character development and some sub-plots - enough to keep my interest. Well acted and pretty fast-paced, without seeming jumpy or forced. Episodes are on the short side, so it's very binge-able. An FX production we're streaming through Hulu.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
The "prequel trilogy" lowered my expectations of anything SW related, permanently, enough so that I actually quite enjoyed the "sequel trilogy".
Yemen hardly ever exports cookies.
As Harrison Ford said once to George Lucas, "George! You can type this shit, but you sure can't say it! Move your mouth when you're typing!" I'll always watch a Star Wars product but after the prequels my bar of expectations is really low. Star Trek, on the other hand, I expect more of and generally get it. Strange New Worlds is the new pinnacle, it filled me with joy.
There's a ridiculous amount of genre TV coming out in the next weeks: Resident Alien, Rings of Power, Sandman, Andor, House of the Dragon, She-Hulk. The wife and I will be doing a serious amount of binging (though she probably won't watch the Star Wars or Marvel entries). And I still have to catch up on Westworld.

It's pretty good, but Pike's presence takes me out of the moment. He reminds me of my boss but with slightly more over-the-top hair.

I'm of the same mind.

I thought season 1 of SNW was a bit of a mixed bag; some good episides, some not so good but overall positive. Much better then Discovery and Picard.
However, Season 3 of the Orville is the best 'trek' in a very long time! I love (most of) it!
I think I'll get Hulu next month for The Orville, Murders in the Building, and the return of Archer

I'd have to check to be sure but I'm not sure you can watch the first two seasons on Hulu. My coworker started watching it and it sounded like he watched Season One, Episode 1 and then he went right into Season 3. Just something to check...

It's not an expectations issue. While I enjoy star wars, I'm by no means a superfan of it, so I went into it without that baggage.

I just checked and you can.
Sounds to me like your coworker's situation was a classic case of operator error.

Yep, probably. But I've had some streaming services try to skip up to the latest season when I was still slogging through the earlier ones.

I've never had that problem. Sounds to me like another case of operator error.
Seriously, with some streaming apps, I wouldn't be surprised.

Agree, it was ok, but the ending was way too over the top.
Is anyone still with Westworld? I thought it was becoming my {b]The Walking Dead[/b], convoluted and confusing story, losing it's focus, too many people switching to too many sides.... but then Blammo! The last two episodes have tied it all back into a nice, clear package, that brings the story full circle in the most awesome of ways.
Duncan's going to make a Horns Emoticon!!!
We're a few episodes behind on Westworld due to be away in England for 4 weeks. We're up to episode 3. Enjoying it so far but it is confusing.
Watched the first episode of Sandman today, looks like a winner.

Did anyone else notice the cameo in this week's The Orville?
