  • Re: TV: A Succession of Watchmen in The Good Place

    Mandalorian is supposed to be tied in some way to the rise of Skywalker movie. Its part of why they are giving a 2 week break between episodes according to all the articles ive read.

      Buddy hooked me up with Disney+ solely because of Mandalorian. I marathoned it today, will prob repeat, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. This is one solid series.

      To go against the grain, and I really don't mean to, but my fave line: "I have spoken."

        Watchmen episode 8 was completely unexpected. It was hinted at all along but I didn't want to believe it. Only one episode left. Almost everything has been revealed already. Really wondering about the ultimate conclusion. Not sure how they want to end it.

        Trying a Netflix/SyFy series called Van Helsing. I like the premise. The acting is "ok". 3 episodes in. We'll see.

          Really felt like the writers hurried up the ending to Silicon Valley.

            Haven't watched S6 yet, but S5 was a step down from S1-4. So your interpretation would not shock me too much.

                Thumbs up for THE MANDALORIAN Ep. 6.

                I enjoyed the more action-y story used here. New characters were "meh". Very basic, stereotypical "rag tag" group that was put together (the smartass, the leader, the muscle, etc.), but it worked. This episode took lots of twists and turns compared to the rest of the series, so assuming that was by choice of Rick Famuyiwa. It worked, but it stands out.

                Spoiler question:
                For those that know better, is there any ties to Asoka (other than being the same species) from Xi'an and Quin? I'm not that deep into the lore, I've seen Asoka mentioned as being a significant character in the cartoon series.

                Looking forward to seeing how this wraps up and if it plays any significance in the grand scheme of things.

                          Looking forward to watching series over Xmas break.

                          Best finale I’ve ever seen is lindellhofs finale of the Leftovers.

                            Listen to the official Podcasts when you're done. Well worth it. I'm listening to the last one right now.

                                For those watching The Mandalorian, this week's episode will release on Wednesday due to the movie coming out Thursday/Friday. Disney sent out some notification emails today regarding this.
