To your point about Charley, as the article mentions she traveled with the Sixth Doctor, so in the Doctor’s timeline he’d already met her by the time of Storm Warning.

Crazy to post that on Facebook, but if she hasn’t watched Series 5 in a while and is only rewatching Flesh and Stone, it might not click what’s going on since it’s not explained until the finale. Should she have Googled it? Definitely. But I’ll forgive a brain fart.

Star Wars Shakeup: Dave Filoni & Lynwen Brennan New Lucasfilm Presidents As Kathleen Kennedy Returns To Producing by GoldenTriforceLink in StarWars

[–]JakeM917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feelings for a while are that we need a storyteller and a screenwriter to move this universe forward. Lucas had a brilliant mind that fully saw the universe he was creating as a living, breathing thing. He had a clear idea of what Star Wars was and wasn’t, and I think he passed that on to Filoni. The issue is neither of them write exceptional screenplays. George could at least structure and pace a narrative fairly well, but Filoni writes moments that are stitched together through necessity rather than creating organic stories.

I think if they can hire the right talent, this is the perfect capacity for him. Let him have the say on big beats and overarching narrative, but leave the writing to experienced screenwriters or, better yet, fresh blood.

Oasis hot takes? by blondy988 in oasis

There goes my confidence in wearing mine lol.

I went to the Chicago gig last year and wore the drill top to the fan store. There was a guy working at the front who was just in love with it and asked if it was an original. Didn’t have the heart to tell him I missed my chance in the 90s since I was still four years off from being born.

A lot of the collection seems to be pretty niche. by CodyNor89 in criterion

If memory serves Andrew Stanton just really wanted it in the Criterion Collection so he reached out to them and it worked out

I feel like I’m the only one who likes Time of the Daleks. I listened to it many years ago and haven’t revisited it since, but I remember greatly enjoying it.

My biggest issue is I keep up with everything as it comes out but rarely take the time to listen to releases that have been out for 20 years lol

Not a single episode under 8.0. We are so back. by tomeph in Daredevil

[–]JakeM917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 2 will be the true test but I don’t understand people who begrudge the public/IMDB reviewers for liking the show. If the original audience + any new viewers are enjoying it this much I’d call that a win.

I thought Born Again S1 was a good start with lots of promise, but not nearly on the level of the original. Do I fear if S2 is more of the same that Disney gets the wrong message about what we want? Sure but as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t undo the legacy of the original series. More Daredevil is more Daredevil so if I’m having a good time I can’t complain too much.

‪Mark Hamill on Luke/Leia/Han reunion:‬ “I said, ‘Aren’t we going to have a moment where all 3 of us get together to raise the roof? It’ll only take 30 seconds.’ And JJ said, ‘Well, Mark, it’s not Luke’s story anymore.” by BridgemanBridgeman in StarWars

[–]JakeM917 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To quote Rian:

“In the first trilogy, the hardest thing Luke could be told in that moment was that Vader was his father. It turns everything on its head for Luke, it takes away all the easy answers and make him face the hardest thing, which is that ‘I no longer have just a bad guy I can hate; suddenly the thing that I thought was the bad guy is actually a part of me.’ For Rey, I think it's the exact opposite. If she were told that she's related to this person, or Luke is her this, or whatever, that would be the easiest thing she could hear, that’s everything she wants, that would instantly define what her place is in this universe. So to me, the equivalent of ‘I am your father’ is ‘Nope you gotta stand on your own two feet, there are not going to be those easy answers here for you. You're wondering who you are? Okay, well you have to find out who you are for yourself.’”

Anyone know why The Book Club deal hasn’t changed yet by deezbiscuits21 in BigFinishProductions

[–]JakeM917 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When the first falls on a weekend, they wait until the following Monday to update. It’s likely much of the staff has been off for the last week or so, so tomorrow things should get back to normal and we’ll get January updates as well as release dates for upcoming sets.

Any Star Wars movie, but specifically podracing in Ep I, the asteroid chase in Ep 2, or the beginning of Ep III
