What's on TV?

Working my way through the final season of Chuck before Amazon decides to remove it from Prime. I'd binged the first four seasons last year, then quit because I didn't want the story to be over. About six more episodes to go before I must say goodbye to Chuck Bartowski, Sarah Walker and John Casey.

I thought Crisis on Earth-X from 2017 was the best of their multi-show crossovers.

 

That was the one with the Nazi dimension wasn't it?

Yeah, I think I agree with you, I feel that that was the last one that had a really coherent story line. Although I was still a big Arrowverse fan at that point, so I don't know if I'd have the same opinion if I watched it again.

Just finished Chuck. Not the ending I had hoped for (who doesn't root for the nerd to get everything?), but I think maybe they had left it a bit open in case they ever wanted to revisit the series with a TV movie or something... which, given the current state of Hollywood's originality lately, doesn't seem as far fetched as it did a few years ago. Maybe someone should put that idea on some NBC executive's desk.

 

Loved me some Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski. But perhaps I'll rewatch Firefly now for some more Adam Baldwin. Anyone else notice that his two iconic TV roles both have the initials J.C.? Jayne Cobb, John Casey...

Finished Star Wars the Clone Wars, now onto Rebels

 

I've watched Clone Wars before and most of rebels, but with the Mandalorian I went back and cherrypicked those Clone Wars episodes with Mandalore in it and decided to re-watch all of Rebels.  

 

I also watched The Right Stuff series on Disney Plus, but I found it to be a bit too centered on personal lives and not quite as interesting as a documentary, for me.

midway through watching Mandalorian season 2. Enjoying it, much like i had season 1, but rather concerned for the future (spoilers below for both Rebels and Mandalorian)



The name drop of Thrawn concerns me. Rebels used thrawn too, and while they did write him good and voice acted him great, they had to pull some real crappy BS to defeat him so that the good guys could win

 

my worry is that the name drop of him leads to more ruination of my favorite star wars character. He is such a military tactical genius that they always have to come up with some stupid magic / force deus ex machina to save the good guys that i can't imagine them doing well with him in live action where, yet again, the good guys have to win

 

i'm also concerned with him as a villain because, going by his previous history in the new canon, he has NO REASON to be a villain anymore with the Empire in ruins.

 

ultimately, i'm just very worried my favorite star wars character is going to be ruined

I may be at the same place,  and I am also enjoying season 2 more than 1, except episode 2 which sucked.

I didn't enjoy the final two seasons as much as the first two, I just don't like Thrawn all that much.

 

The first time I saw Rebels, I did not like that they brought Thrawn in.  He is an "unbeatable" opponent, so they always have to find some sort of excuse when the heroes win (ie, when he lets Hera Syndulla escape because she "earned it").  However I have come around.  And even with that issue, I still feel that the final season was epic.  It had a lot of good moments of tension and anticipation and all that jazz.

Yeah, that was my entire issue, he just seemed a poor fit for the show.

Admittedly Vader was in a similar place in season two, but I think they handled him better by using him much more sparingly (plus they had Asoka to balance the odds a bit).

Still a very awesome show though, rather controversially I'd rate it much higher than Clone Wars (I'm still very slowly struggling my way through that one).
