Looking like reviews are somewhat split down the middle.  That's expected, I guess.  I didn't see this getting universal love.  My only real concerns are the stunts and the action being believable.  Though the trailers have me excited, still worried about the action being able to suck me in or turn me off.

Pretty cool.  Typical trailer complaints: Some of the effects look incomplete.  Lots of cg. 

But I'm still hyped and optimistic.  I think this, while probably being divisive, will deliver the goods.  

I dressed up as Alan Quartermain for Halloween but everyone thought I was Indiana Jones.  Idiots.

Not sure if I saw the same episode as you guys.  It was rather slow....

I'm with you part-way.  Just after the scene about the group doubting Casian and worried about him joining, another guy shows up and we get another scene conveying the exact same doubt and worry.  I don't need to see this twice.  

But the scenes between Casian and Skaarsgard and Skaarsgard and Mon Mothma were excellent.

Half excellent/ half dull episode to an overall excellent series so far.  

At this point, it's not really about choc's (obvious) points. Heehee.  But it's just getting repetitive.  They're spinning their wheels now, and not taking it anywhere.

This is why I started feeling a disconnect during the previous season. 

That's a good episode!  Is there a jump cut there after he opens the door for the mirror reveal?  

I saw a preview while watching the football game last night.  Cool teaser but the special effects were pretty bad.  I was laughing because the actor was acting confused while jumping out of a plane and it felt way too over the top and comedic.  But then again, Sam's reactions to his leaps were almost always comedic.  And it's a small sample size so I'm still optimistic.  Cautiously optimistic. 

Maybe that's the show....sending a leaper to find Sam.

From what I've read, it sounds more like a continuation of the original show. I've only seen a few episodes of the old series, but I love time travel stuff so I'll give it a whirl.

If it's a continuation, does that mean Sam Becket is out there leaping and the new leaper could cross paths with him?

In Star Wars or Transformers?

Both!

He was Orion Pax! God I'm a fucking nerd.

Well that's a letdown.  Was this from one of the later cartoons or Gen 1?

If Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime, then that means Optimus Prime was originally a different name/transformer!?  I never thought about that till today.  

Sorry I thought this was the dumb Transformers question thread.  

Here's a SW one that's also Transformers......are SW Transformers canon?

How does a home-made droid, made by a ten year old slave, know over 10 million languages?

What if Threepio didn't speak Bocci?

Maybe he doesn't.  That droid threw out a hell of a sales pitch.  Threepio's best dialogue in the entire series. 

I'm not able to do video!

I have to be up Saturday morning at 4am so I may not be able to make it.

I might be able to

That's like Def Leppard, they were huge in the 80s and now you never hear them on the radio even though they still release albums.

Classic rock stations here still play Photograph all the damn time.  And Love Bites and PSSOM.

Too High for the Supermarket by The Uninvited

I've never heard of this but it's a cool song.

Any station that won’t play Here Comes the Hotsteppa by Ini Kamoze anymore isn’t a station worth listening to

Ah-ha, that's another one!

Fine, I'll go.  lol

I probably have tastes that don't align with anyone here, but anway.....One of the first bands that comes to mind is R.E.M.  After their massive success in the 90's, their radio play has died down in terms of how many of their singles get played now.  Stations here only play Man on the Moon and Losing My Religion.  Indianapolis has a rock station, an alt. station, and a college/indie station but a lot of the moderately successful bands from the 90's are gone from the airwaves.  Garbage, Hole, Live, and several others.  

I understand a station can't possibly play all of them.  That would be thousands of songs but it's odd that some songs still get airplay and others are gone.

Sounds like this convo has happened here before but I've been thinking about this a lot lately.  A lot of songs on my playlists (70's, 80's, 90's) that were hit songs that got a lot of airplay when they charted but no longer get played.  Usually the artist might still get a lot of airplay but you only hear two or three of their songs even though they have upwards of 20+ charting singles over the years.  I put a lot of the blame on radio stations all being under the same national ownership.  Most were independent back in they day and had total freedom as to what they could play.  Now it's all controlled.

Anyway, what do you remember hearing a lot but no longer?  I'll post some of mine after getting some responses.

And you never will with that attitude. 

But if you ever flew your old SW toys in between the legs of your family room coffee table, I'd say that counts.

And why didn't he ever do a trench run? Didn't seem like there were many Y-Wings in the battle.

Apologies for the fan retroactive answers (because I hate them), but Y-Wings are slower.   But they're better defensive ships.  So once the Y-Wing trench runs went to shit, maybe Dodonna ordered to try the faster X-Wings. 

.....LoL, wHy tHeY dO daT??!
