  • I mean Ahsoka and Maul’s stories continue in Rebels as a follow up from Clone Wars. I’m sure you could watch Rebels without having seen Clone Wars, but if you’re going to watch Rebels I would highly recommend Clone Wars first.

    Clone Wars & Rebels spoilers
    • Maul being alive. Him just showing up in Rebels if you last saw him die in Phantom Menace leaves you with a lot of questions.
    • Ahsoka battling Vader. It helps to know who Ahsoka is. Vader with a broken helmet saying her name is heartbreaking.
    • Obi Wan and Satine. Maul and Satine. While Rebels doesn’t mention her the relationship they had is important backstory. the Twin Suns episode is the conclusion to when Obi Wan and Maul first met, the finale. You can skip the middle, but it adds a lot.

  • I mean Homelander’s powers would be excellent if I’m living in that universe. Lots of scary shit and people killing each other. Although if I have Homelander’s powers, living in a world with Homelander, he probably going to try and kill me… Which isn’t ideal.

    In which case Soldier Boy’s powers seem like a good choice. Which I’m largely picking so I don’t get murdered by other superheroes.



  • I do agree the yearly release is a plus.

    I can’t speak for Monarch (and I enjoyed The Last of Us season 2), but I think the simplicity of The Pitt is what helps keep it consistently good. (Two seasons is hard to declare a pattern, but I’m going to.)

    If you only watched season 2 of The Pitt you still know what’s going on.

    It also helps being a 15 episode season. Things can happen slowly and are given time to breathe. Most streaming shows are 8 to 10 episodes and sometimes it’s just go go go.

    Don’t get me wrong I don’t think shows need to stretch to fill more episodes. You can tell an amazing story in 8 episodes.






  • “Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT.”

    Per Variety, back when Kimmel was pulled.

    Fallon is also not acceptable. I do agree it’s typically Kimmel, Colbert or Meyers and much less frequently Fallon, but he has called for him to be fired/removed.
