    That show is pretty funny and quite dark. Good stuff.

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    Book of Boba Fett starts out surprisingly weak, even amateurish, which is odd considering that the first (and third) episode was directed by Robert Rodriguez. But the second is great stuff, and the whole enterprise picks up steam after the third. It becomes tied very closely to The Mandalorian show, enough that it's fair to accuse it of not being able to stand on its own, but I didn't mind. Was quite happy to see certain characters. As for Boba Fett specifically, I like the people involved and there's some good stuff here (and some weird shit, like the Millennial Vespa Squad), but the finale will have to really pop to tie things together well.

    Finale was okay. Bryce Dallas Howard's one episode was better than Robert Rodriguez's three, maybe even combined. Overall a missed opportunity.

    Kenobi suffers a bit from the by-now-expected obligation to neatly tidy up loose ends and seed various premonitions and easter eggs regarding the future trilogies. Ewan, the only truly great part of the whole enterprise, treads valiantly to keep it afloat and maybe just barely succeeds. Rest of the cast is good, the writing is fair and I liked the new characters, but the little girl who plays Her is better when she has no dialogue to muggingly munch through. Unexpectedly lovely to have [] back. Not really a ton of surprises given, you know, we already know the broad strokes of how things shake out. But it has a few things on its mind beyond fan-fellatio at least.

    I loved the Obi Wan show. I think it's the best one of the SW bunch from Disney+ so far. BOBF was pretty alright I guess, I could have skipped that one.

    First two episodes of Andor are slow-burns, which I normally wouldn't mind much because you can feel Tony Gilory behind them, but they also feel a little too shapeless maybe? More than compensated by the world-building that genuinely feels lived-in and thought-out though, on both sides of the conflict (loved the bell-towering dude hammering the time). And it greatly builds to that incredible third ep, where the world-building makes that town come truly alive against the invading force, with a few great action set-pieces. Just exciting, stirring stuff there.

    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
