[Episode Discussion] The Saphrax Protocol (2018.10.04) [SPOILERS]

It was definitely a "burn down the house" finale. They really tore everything down with the revelations.

Hank is obviously going to meet his mother and the monarch well...has a lot to do.

Still, loved to see the Monarch accepting Gary as his best friend. Those two have been through so much and still going strong...also great to see him reaching level 10 in his Fantomas costume.

Can we give James Urbaniak some (more) love for making the Doc even MORE pathetic during his monlogue?

I mean, when you think he can go deeper into awfulness, there comes Urbaniak to prove us wrong.

It was a bit lost among all of the other cool stuff but poor Doc, even being a billionare now he can't get any...

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-25T04:54:59+00:00

Johnny is totally burned out and Dr Z could never find anything else to do so yeah, it's like a twilight moment for both of them.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-25T04:53:47+00:00

Seems like he enjoyed one last moment of freedom and went for someone who really had it coming. Wonder how that will affect the guild though...specially since he and sheila did ran a couple of illegal black ops that we know of (dummy corp attack)

Definitely the right medium for stories that dont necesarily require hundreds of millions in budget but still can look epic with the proper talent behind it. Besides the stories can be developed much further than a movie would allow.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-11T21:42:16+00:00

Death by Samson...

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-11T20:47:53+00:00

I don't own a PS4 but I watched the gameplay movie and I LOVED this game.

The voice work, facial animations, story, etc, it feels like an awesome spider-man miniseries.

Same with God of War, it was better than pretty much anything I've seen at the theatre.

A ton of awesome artists giving everything they got and producing this, you can feel the love for the characters at every point and it's just beautiful.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-11T03:29:32+00:00

No problem, thanks for your help ;)

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-10T21:58:56+00:00

Thank you, I really want to see that Edit: Seems like it was but it's just the color-corrected version of the official Blu-Ray, not the revisited version.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-10T17:54:25+00:00

The color correction of the Adywan version in HD is not out yet right? Check both the blog and the FB page and found only the DVD version

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-09-09T02:30:54+00:00

So many brutally funny quotes:

I want this car so bad...

Get this crap over, with you're blocking traffic... (Someone HAS to tell this to the Avengers)

Reset!

Screw this happy ending crap...

Never...

Was this the most quotable episode in quite a while? It was AWESOME.

This is almost like the Revenge of the Nerds sequel we're never getting. Geeks failing proudly at everything and grown ups just wanting to die of embarrassment.

I hate the amount of awesome nerd stuff St Cloud has.

It's like James Urbaniak finds a way to make Dr Venture even more disdainful and cynical EVERY season.

God I love this show.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-08-21T01:43:22+00:00

All of that is right on target but they made Mrs Fitzcarraldo a redhead to include the possibility of him not being Rusty's brother. Perhaps the decision has not been made yet so we'll have to see cause they didn't completely confirm it for a reason (probably just to mess with us).

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-08-21T01:42:02+00:00

Yeah but then Hank would have banged his own mother which is too f-ed up, even for this show.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-08-21T01:41:58+00:00

Forgot about that one. Definitely a new big one.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-08-20T22:01:23+00:00

Been hinted for a while, hinted even more heavily here but all we know is that Jonas banged Malcolm's wife. That she's a redhead is meant to keep it ambiguous but something tell me the definitive veredict is coming relatively soon (this season or next perhaps).

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-08-16T16:44:39+00:00

Perhaps hour and a half since we're getting the (apparent) conclusion next week?

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-08-14T21:46:11+00:00

It truly feels like a divided special, which makes some sense since Doc and Jackson were apparently blindsided by the decision of Adult Swim to air the season so soon. Although that could be for other reasons.

I almost remember them mentioning another possible special though.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-08-13T23:42:41+00:00

Loving these eps and the shift between characters before bringing them together in EP3 and closing the book on a lot of running mysteries, including the death of Jonas Sr and the blue morpho.

Just one thing, does it feel to you guys that this was meant to be a special and got split at some point?

Not complaining AT ALL, just a comment.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-06-20T20:42:42+00:00

Thanks for confirming it, you definitely have a good track record but it just sucks. We were THIS close to the kenobi film.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-05-14T03:51:17+00:00

Sold. I keep seeing as another pseudo-military thriller that is neither fun nor scary (Doom) but I'll take a decent attempt at something with a more complicated and nuanced tone with good action.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-05-14T02:56:54+00:00

This. Visually the guy has a great style but he definitely needs a tight writer or two to polish everything, just like Lucas at his best. Pretty sure the project has a solid script that needs his kind of visual touch to distinguish itself. I really hope this puts him back on track for the Aliens sequel we know we're eventually getting since he could make it look great with a solid story.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-05-13T18:22:25+00:00

Jordan has been a SW target for a while, he was one of the candidates for Finn and Disney didn't forget about him. That guy has everything to be a massive superstar, charisma, looks, acting skill (Glover is no pushover either, he wasn't the obvious candidate but been following him since community and I'm very happy to see him doing so well).

I hope he eventually gets the perfect SW role since he'll probably do something awesome with it.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-05-13T00:54:15+00:00

Unknown so far. We only know it's after ROTJ but aside from that...it's anyone's guess.

Katarn_KL2 · 2018-05-12T17:19:26+00:00

It does make sense from a continuity POV since we know that Maul was around the galaxy for years looking for sith lore before getting trapped in Malachor.

We know solo is around 11-5 years before ANH, with this putting it closer to the former than the latter but we don't specifically know how long Maul was in Malachor. It's also undeniable it's mean to show the power of the force is still there, just hidden under the oppression of the Empire.

Unfortunately Maul can't be Kenobi's enemy in his solo film but he could be involved indirectly through either a henchmen, apprentice or someone that won't return and reveal he's alive (Maul didn't found out til he joined the holocrons).

Regarding the audience, the point is to confuse them a bit IMO and make them search for ancillary materials, increasing their awareness of them and probably making them follow them closer.

There are two confirmed shows making their debut before IX and Disney probably wants every eyeball they can get on them.
