  1. I don't think so. Or at least I hope not. I'm guessing that "master" line was more a reference of Ashoka continuing to help train Sabine as a warrior in the same way Kanan was training her with the darksaber? And in the trailer the hot dark jedi (or whatever) chick says, "You have no power..." So maybe wishful thinking but I really hope she's not force sensitive. It just gets old being like, "oh wait! That person has the force now!" I have more faith in Filoni than that, so here's to hoping. 100% this. I'm sure the show would be enjoyable for someone who hadn't seen those shows, but it's going to be WAY more enjoyable if you have seen them.
  2. Couterpoints: Frank's Brother is a freaking tour-de-force of absurdity. Just having Danny DeVito play himself as like a 19-year-old just wearing his "go out" wig is all you need to know. Then there's the whole "Shady Nasty" thing and then the reveal at the end when everyone is old... it's fucking weird and absurd and ridiculous and hilarious. I understand why some people don't like the Female Boggs or a lot of the recent episodes just because they are veering in different directions with the comedy... e.g. the Female Boggs episode is a pretty blatant satire of female re-boots of classic movies, all the way down to the episode itself being intentionally not as good as the original. They've done lots of episodes like that over the past several years where they are trying to something very dryly satirical on a specific topic; stuff that is more "clever" vs. laugh out loud funny.
  3. Are you sure about that part? I thought Oregon had viewership that was in-line with bluebloods. They wouldn't add incremental value to the Big 12's media contract?
  4. I mean... he's just a man who needs his tools.... for... fetish shit. He also really enjoys the skins because the skins are the most interesting part of any animal. What's the big deal?
  5. I think fans make WAY too much of thing about what kind of city/town the schools are situated in. I'm sure a handful of recruits make decisions based on that, but the vast, vast do not. They tend to go to places that are (a) successful and (b) help them get to the NFL. That means being a winning program and having top-notch facilities. I think the simple answer as to why Colorado fell off is that they weren't willing to keep up in the facilities arms race with the rest of the Big 12 that started in the early 2000s and essentially never let up. CU was always behind the blue bloods, but all of a sudden OSU, Tech, K-State, Iowa State, etc., started pouring hundreds of millions into facilities through the mid-2000s and also blew past CU in that regard. Now their facilities are dogshit compared to pretty much everyone in the Big 12 except Kansas; they compare a little better in the PAC just because most of the schools don't care about football, but still way behind schools they would be competing against for recruits like Utah, Oregon, Washington, etc.
  6. Yeah I enjoyed the first two... especially episode 2. Haven't watched 3 yet. As for Mac's/Rob's appearance, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what the "nut allergy" joke was about as his face got more and more swelled through the episode. In fact, I'll have to go back and re-watch, but I think there was actually a line like, "I don't even recognize him any more..." Those guys are all extremely self-aware and it's one of the things I love best about the show.
  7. Yeah I don't get the whole "I don't want to watch cartoons" thing. Good stories are good stories. None of the live action stuff is "real" anyway. The CGI or other visual effects used are basically making them live action "cartoons" so what's the difference?
  8. Not sure exactly what he's going for, but Ernest Burkhart was Hale's nephew and (like Hale) was from east Texas. He moved to Osage County to work in the oil fields.
  9. Yeah I mean I sure wouldn't want 4K HD cameras pointing at my upper-40s face today if there was literally thousands of hours of me in my early 30s to compare with, lol.
  10. Sabine fighting the dark Jedi chick with Ezra's lightsaber. PUT IT IN MY VEINS!! EDIT - I can haz post-fight scissoring?
  11. And speaking of Sabine having Ezra’s lightsaber, given that Kanan trained her in fighting with the darksaber, I imagine we’ll see Sabine wielding Ezra’s lightsaber in battle.
  12. I mean, his episode of Mandalorian was badass. So bring him in as a hired gun to direct an action-heavy episode? IN. Have him run a whole show? NOPE
  13. OK then. On to football I guess.
  14. I'm probably looking more forward to this than any Star Wars in recent memory. I absolutely loved Rebels and this show basically being a live action Rebels sequel has me fucking pumped.
  15. So they are shooting the new season of Reservation Dogs right now in and around Tulsa. I guess Ethan Hawke is going to be in the new season? This is him and Sterlin Harjo at Philbrook Museum the other day, which is less than a mile from my house. What I’m saying is that we’re all basically best friends now.
  16. I fucking love the Always Sunny podcast. The best ones are where they basically talk for almost an hour about something completely unrelated to the show they are supposed to be talking about. And the trailers for the new season has me cautiously hyped. Love that Liam is back! And it looks like the McPoyles own (or at least work at) the bowling ally now, lol. “We have chili, we have cheese, we have fries, but combining them is STRICTLY PROHIBITED!!!!”
  17. Sabine with the short hair!
  18. Goddamnit I hate gin. DEE YOU BITCH
  19. It's because he's an overconfident prick who was certain that she *would* vote it through. In his mind, he already won Shiv over and so it was a done deal. And he needed to have the American CEO ready to be named as soon as the deal was done when the press release goes out. He wasn't going to name Shiv in the press release and then change it a few days later. That's not how those things work. Thus, he decides on Tom and then gets the wheels moving on announcement materials before the vote which was taking place like 12 hours later.
  20. I thought it was a perfect ending and, as I predicted, none of the primary sibs got what they wanted because none of them could overcome their fatal flaws, no matter how much they tried to cover them up. It was fitting that Roman, the only one of the three who has any self-awareness whatsoever, had to lay it bare for Kendall with his “we’re bullshit” speech. Of course, each of them are also walking away from the sale with a couple billion dollars, so there’s that. Who knows what kind of awful shit they are going to unleash on the world with that money, lol.
  21. Honestly a rotation of Tulsa, OKC and Frisco would be perfect for the Big 12 baseball tournament post-OU/Texas departure. All three offer very nice minor league parks in a location relatively central to most of the schools. Tulsa and OKC offer plenty of walkable hotels and amenities… not sure about Frisco but I’m assuming it’s nice around that ballpark too.
  22. That was so much fun yesterday. And yeah Globe Life is a terrible fucking venue for this. Tulsa should get another shot to host. The one year we did we had terrible unseasonably cold weather and we still had great crowds. I’d be cool with Fisco, too. Anything would be better than playing in a giant soulless building with like 1,000 people in attendance.
  23. Will be interesting to see if he does leave. It's interesting... when Holiday first took over and Walton joined from ORU, it seemed we were winning mostly with pitching, but that's definitely changed the past several years. We finished 1st and 2nd in Team ERA in the Big 12 in 2015 and 2016 (and made the trip to Omaha in '16) but since then, we've been 4th in the league in team ERA on average. We finished 5th this year. Meanwhile, our team hitting has progressively improved. in those two years we had great pitching we were 7th and 6th in the league in hitting, but in the last 3 full seasons we've finished 2nd, 2nd and 4th in team hitting. Not sure if Walton has lost his "touch" or if it's a recruiting thing, but it's been interesting that our hitting has been steadily improving over the past few years while pitching has been kind of meh.
