Yeah loving The Boys eh, I hope Anthony hasn't hurt his career with that little skirmish he had with a bar tender the other month.
Love the fact that the best characters on the show are our two kiwi boyz Karl and Anthony.

Lightspeed · 7th June 2022, 19:40

There was a group cast interview I saw, the question was who is most like their character, everyone immediately pointed to Starr. It was pretty jokey, but that combined with the incident you mentioned suggests he has some issues to work through.

Yeah always worth a watch.

The thing is I've had this (well only a couple of pieces and I never want to have it again) there is that.

This chocolate is at over 6 million Scoville so the sauces seem tame in comparison unless the sauces have a more intense effect maybe.

Yeah I've had a few blocks of that. Daughter used it in her "Hottest chilli chocolate muffins in the world!" as a topper - feedback from Lockdown Quiz master (and brother of local celebrity chef) was that it destroyed his anus.

Ex-super league player at the local was less than charitable - It nearly got physical! All while my castiron gut friend sat there and consumed 6 pieces.

Still consider D-Bomb a concentrate and not a sauce.

...anyway, telly.

The Boys is still up to the usual high standard.

"Eat fucking Timothy!"

Ahh - if Ozzyman is anything to go by, the publicity process may have been hindered by Butcher getting the 'rona.

Ab · 13th June 2022, 16:26

Why did Stranger Things have that Amiga running Workbench in monochrome, it hurt my eyes.

StN · 13th June 2022, 18:01

The bit where the code scrolled up and was full of hypertext <div> elements when Tim Berners-Lee hadn't even invented the fucking thing yet?

Ab · 13th June 2022, 20:31

Pretty sure I saw CSS as well. Blocked and reported.

_Incubus_ · 14th June 2022, 11:50

Even Vader force choking everyone isn't enough to save Obi Wan for me.....for a guy that's apparently hiding out in the desert he's sure ticking up some stamps in his intergalactic passport.

Redneck · 14th June 2022, 12:57

Fully checked out of disney Star Wars now. Wake me when the franchise gets sold to the Asylum or something

I'm looking forward to seeing what Waititi brings.

The best Star Wars has always been what hasn't revolved around the original trilogy.

[fe] · 15th June 2022, 17:43

Current teeveeing revolving around poirot/hornblower/taskmaster.

Cyberbob · 16th June 2022, 08:31

While last weeks was definitely a big step down, Episode 5 of Obi Wan was great. Not perfect, but no Star Wars is.

wazza · 19th June 2022, 20:12

finally got around to ep 5 of obi wan, so amaze

StN · 19th June 2022, 20:43

Is Kenobi the first introduction of live action TIE fighters and shuttles? Seems that things (Imperial tech) didn't change much in the 8-10 years BBY. Except they built a death star.

If you look at the Empires approach to network security from the start of IV - VI it's not all that surprising.

You think you'd do a cyber review once the bothan spies stole data that led to your flagship being blown up...still using passcodes instead of some biometric or at the least a fido token is just crazy...and that lead to yet another Death Star being blown up by terrorists.

TIE were in Solo, and that's 13 BBY, just beating out Kenobi.

Their predecessors were like Darth Maul's ship - you can see the influence.

Bit of a fucken weird show.

Mixed feelings on this after S3, Found myself rooting for Serac more than Dolores. Also waiting for something to finally happen to the man in black...trailer looks interesting

ePi · 22nd June 2022, 16:04

It's been downhill since S1 save for a few episodes in S2. S3 was god awful.

wazza · 22nd June 2022, 17:02

i managed to get through S1, i gave up a couple of episodes into S2
(i watched it recently)

Ab · 22nd June 2022, 17:29

Westworld S1 is one of the greatest things ever shown on television IMHO. I don't think it can be topped.

Struggling to disagree with this....

A few other awesome 1st Seasons I can think of:
-Yellowstone
-Stranger Things
-Last Kingdom

BoyWonder · 22nd June 2022, 23:30

The last episode of Obi Wan is just awesome. This series has had some questionable moments but overall I have enjoyed watching this roller coaster and the finale has been well worth the ride.

Came here to post this

Parts of the show were a let down, others didn't make sense. Final episode made up for a lot of that. I do have to wonder why Obi Wan Ke-noob-i let yet another chance to end Vader slip through his fingers when he could plainly see where that was going to end up.

Redemption may be at hand?

OMG OMG OMG - He said the thing!

Also cleared up that misunderstanding between Ben and Luke around who his Dad was and how he died. From a certain point of view.

A few highlights, but more Star Wars I have to pretend never happened.

So much fan service, it was basically a bunch of "OMG THE THING!1" moments strung together. It wasn't really storytelling. Confession, I did like smashed-up Vader half-talking through the mask. But even that was ripped off from his battle with Ahsoka in Rebels.

Speaking of things being ripped off, did anyone get a strong SC38 vibe from the battle?

StN · 23rd June 2022, 21:10

Hayden Earl Jones was good.

This has been Disney's MO since they acquired the IP. It's just been mediocre content farming.
