Echo this. It's a super fun game. Story was really satisfying.

Hahaha

Yes, that would be awesome.

We have small children, so we'll probably never not have a Disney+ sub. Personally, I kind of like having a couple of appointment viewing options back in my life. Never really knew that I'd miss that throwback feeling, but I do. Binging is fine and great and super convenient, but having a show or two I watch at a single point each week and then spend the rest of the week pondering or discussing with friends is fun for me.
The bolded part is the absolute truth. It's been great to ruminate on each episode afterward and discuss/read with you guys what could possibly happen in the next episode. I just wish my wife was into it so we could watch it together like we used to do with The Office and Parks and Rec before they went off the air.
I completely agree with you guys and I think we will eventually see some middle road on this from Netflix / Disney+ / HBO Max. I think the challenge is that they have so much content now, they can't risk not releasing the whole thing at once for fear of losing viewers week to week.

However, for the BIG releases (Stranger Things, Mandalorian, Westworld) they should make a month-long 'event' out of it.

Imagine logging into Netflix and seeing "June is Stranger Things Month"

Week 1: Release episodes 1-3 on Sunday night prime time
Week 2: Episodes 4-6 on Sunday night prime time
Week 3: Episodes 7-9 on Sunday night prime time
Week 4: Finale Week - release the last episode. Make this a big event.

This would align nicely with the discussion threads we already do on Texags (we spend too much time having an "episodes 1-3" thread or a "**SPOILERS** thread). Now we have a thread to discuss the episodes that have been released.

The internet traffic stays at a pretty steady rate throughout the week, the radio chatter has something new to talk about each week, not just trying to condense 12 hours of time into one segment.

There are two groups of people who aren't happy, 1 - those who love one episode at a time, and 2 - those who have enough time in their life to binge watch 12 hours of TV on a Saturday.

Otherwise, this approach leads to maximum excitement, maximum word-of-mouth, and maximum payoff by the time the finale comes out.

In fact this approach could further insulate the streaming services from the "buy one month and dump" people. If you buy Netflix on June 1 so you can start watching Stranger Things, you're more likely to interact with Netflix and therefore retain your subscription.

Is the microsoft offer only for Xbox, or something? It seems to be having an issue recognizing my PC as an applicable device...

Yep, had to do a refund. Dammit. It's like 60 bucks cheaper than on steam.

Is Fallen Order that great? I'm almost tempted to buy an Xbox to play it. I have no idea when I actually would have time to play it, but it looks like the most fun game and a great and beautiful story.


It's pretty fun

Can't believe I didn't realize Mando gave Moff the same speech the Moff gave earlier. Freaking awesome.

Totally on board with this. Not a huge fan of Moff Gideon's character. I can't take him seriously for some reason. It seems like the scenes with him are a step down in production value.

Maybe it's a thing where Pedro Pascal wants out - ala Harrison Ford and Han.
Pascal would be nuts to want out. It is a lifetime role that doesn't type-cast him because of the helmet. And honestly can't be that demanding time wise.
The helmet is likely the reason he wants out (if true). I read in the real news that he wasn't happy that his face is never shown.

He's not even the one in the armor most of the time.

He reminds me of someone (in appearance), but I can't for the life of me remember who.

^that's what I'm getting at.... might not be happy with never being seen.

His other huge roles have been very much charismatic and visible - the Viper and Javier Pena and apparently in this Wonder Woman 1984 film too.

Also actors aren't thrilled with being masked up - actors want to ACT, emote, win awards, etc.... Mando ain't winning any acting awards. Not everyone is motivated by coasting through something easy for a paycheck.

As i said when i posted. it. Nothing would surprise me.

Where are the rumors of Mando wanting to bolt coming from?

Side note I think Thrawn will be Ahsoka villain and not Mandos.

I knew someone would say that. And no, I googled the actor. I haven't seen him in anything before (and haven't seen those shows) .

He reminds me of someone, I think from the 80s or 90s.

If he really wants out then this leads to the logical conclusion that he will sacrifice his life to save Baby Yoda.

If you agree with me and I'm correct, then I will take this opportunity to offer you, in advance, a libation to celebrate the closing of our shared narrative.

Definitely remember Gregory Hines, and I don't think that's who I'm thinking of. But who knows. It's just not coming to me.

Just a little diversion until the next episode. An updating of Marty Robbins' classic "Big Iron":

It's starting to come together for me.

My memory keeps sending me an image of a droll/somber character, maybe a villain or maybe not, dressed in white.

It's the elongated face and hooded/baggy eyes that seem familiar.

BTW: Cara Dune totally gives off a Mariska Hargitay in SVU vibe.

I enjoy the differences in the speech. Gideon reduces the child by using the pronoun "it". Mando refers to Grogu as "he". It is little things like this that I like about this show.

But the music that plays in his scenes is freaking awesome. The bass kind of hip hop vibe. I love it.
