  1. Yeah really enjoyed the set the other night. Wait. Who shits on Spiders? I fucking love that song…and yeah was super awesome to finally hear it live. Of the new songs, definitely digging “Cousin” the most. It has kind of a vibe that would fit in on AGIB. “Evicted” is a nice little tune as well. “Pittsburgh” hasn’t been released yet so I’ve only heard it the one time live… I do recall it was a pretty chill, low-tempo number. Looking forward to listening again tomorrow when the album is out.
  2. Yeah I think it's pretty cool... Ezra always had his big connection with the natural world, so it would make sense that after a decade in isolation (and with no lightsaber or other weapons) he became even more connected to the point that he became an expert at just using his abilities and the physical environment vs. using weapons. I do think we'll see him use the blade at some point but I thought him fighting without weapons was totally fucking cool.
  3. That was awesome. As was her "Oh fuck. I may have just fucked around and found out" expression when he did it.
  4. Fuck yeah what a great show last night. That was my favorite Wilco show I've seen in a while. They played 21 songs basically spanning their whole career, including 3 from the new album that sounded great "Pittsburg", "Cousin" and "Evicted." I also FINALLY - FINALLY got to hear "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" live and damn did it deliver. They played it as the closer of the encore. It's funny because I've easily seen Wilco like 10+ times and have never heard it. It got to be almost funny that they would never play it. I'd look at set lists and they would play it like 5 shows in a row leading up to whatever show I saw and then not play it. It's literally their only concert staple I'd never heard. Damn it was awesome. Also got to hear "Misunderstood" and "Side with the Seeds" for the first time in a long while. Here's the full set list for those interested: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/wilco/2023/cains-ballroom-tulsa-ok-1ba395dc.html
  5. So you're saying we're going to get a 3-way scissoring scene with her, Hera and Sabine? IN
  6. Seeing Wilco at a sold-out Cain's tonight for the umpteenth time. Can't freaking wait. Haven't seen the guys since right before the pandemic. I'll report back with shitty iPhone pix.
  7. Yeah that would be my first thought as well, but if Greg Daniels is developing it, it has a chance? I remember when it was originally announced that they were developing the BBC version for American television the initial reaction from most corners was that it couldn't/wouldn't work here, but Daniels made it different enough to work. A new version of the The Office *could* work - it's not like there's a lack of mundane office stuff to lampoon - working (or not) from home, stupid Teams meeting, etc. I could see them bringing back some original cast members to "bridge the gap" and introduce a new cast, but the key would be to not attempt, in any way shape or form, to try and replicate the original - do something new/different but with the same sort of concept ... it *could* work with the right cast and writers.... but it's a long shot.
  8. Yeah I think now that we finally have live action Ashoka, Phoenix crew and Thrawn, Hondo is probably the #1 "want to see in live action" on most fans' wish list.
  9. Oh yeah I'm sure they stuck it in there... my point was they could always come back and say that particular model of light freighter that was shown wasn't The Ghost.
  10. Oh was it? I've blocked that shit movie from my mind, lol. They could always just say it was a different VCX-100 light freighter, lol.
  11. Was just wondering something about the show - Does anyone else think there's a decent chance none of them make it back to the main Star Wars galaxy? Or perhaps they do go back but then they return to the other galaxy, either by choice or necessity, thus explaining the absence of Ashoka and the Phoenix crew in the sequel trilogy... it would also give them a "blank canvas" in a sense to go in all kinds of new/different directions for Star Wars stories in the "new" galaxy that would be separate and apart from the established canon in the "main" Star Wars galaxy.
  12. Somehow... some stuff happened...
  13. Yeah the Screen Rant summary of the episode was great. There were tons of Dune and also LOTR references throughout the episode, to go along with the Samuri/Ronin stuff.
  14. Correct, but I was responding to the the line from the episode when Thrawn basically told Elsbeth that he wanted a complete run-down on Ashoka, including who her master was…. So I’m assuming she’s gonna know somehow… In other words, he’s going to find out that Anakin was her master…
  15. I don't know this for certain, because I didn't read it myself, but I believe I read/saw somewhere that Thrawn figured out/knows that Vader was Anakin Skywalker in one of the new canon novels. I guess the thing is that he went on some kind of mission with Anakin and Padme during the Clone Wars and then later during the Empire years he was working with Vader and figured it out based on his fighting style and/or things he said or something along the lines... basically Thrawn already knows Vader is/was Anakin.
  16. I mean... meh? There's quite a bit of wood to chop in between where we are now (a few years after the Battle of Endor) and where we land in the new trilogy (several decades later). Think of all the amazing stories that were packed into Clone Wars and Rebels - and each of those series only spanned a few years in the "in-universe" time frame. I'm not even thinking/caring about the movies - I just want cool/good/new Star Wars stories and Filoni is fucking delivering so I'm just happy about that.
  17. Goddamn holy shit balls. Put that episode directly in my veins! Motherfucking Thrawn is perfect. His army of fanatical zombie (?) Stormtroopers look very much like they are not to be fucked with, which is awesome. Older Ezra is perfect too. Can't fucking wait to see what happens next.
  18. Less than a year ago we were in the top 10 and dominated one of the teams that played in the national championship game on their home field for 3 quarters before losing in OT. I'm pretty sure we are still living in the same CFB reality right now that we were one year ago today. But yeah the sky is falling now and Gundy all of a sudden is terrible because last year's team was decimated with injuries and we don't have a good quarterback this year. Again, I'm going to wait and see what happens for the rest of this year. Honestly I think the biggest thing is the dumb-shit approach to the non-conference that Gundy took this year with all of the dumb rotations, especially and obviously at quarterback. Just give ONE of these guys (hopefully Bowman or Rangle) a fucking chance to establish a little bit of rhythm and rapport with the WRs and this can be a serviceable offense. The skill position players are good. Presley, Stribbling, Bray, Shettron and Gordon can all play... if we would just give them a fucking chance by picking a goddamn quarterback.
  19. Did I dream 2011? Because I'm pretty sure we won the Big 12 title that year. And yes this is a stupid Aggy-ish thing to say, but if this conference didn't have the stupid fucking pointless Championship Game even though everyone plays everyone else we would have had another Big 12 title in 2021. And anyway - as I said, I'm going to sit in "wait and see" mode. The last time the fan base was in total meltdown talking about how Gundy has "lost it", or "didn't care any more" etc., etc., was 2014 when we didn't have a serviceable QB on the roster for most of the year and everyone kicked the shit out of us basically from late September through November. Then he finally pulled Mason Rudolph's redshirt and let it rip and oh - look at that - competent QB play really helps. I have no idea if Zane Flores (current highly regarded true freshman QB from Nebraska) will be that guy or not. Like I said - I'm gonna wait and see.
  20. Yeah he's always been a fucking douche. His best contribution to pop culture was giving Cameron Crowe his start.
  21. I don't think this is known yet. I don't think we even know if/when Mando Season 4 will happen. Best I can find is that Faverau says it's written, but it's not in production yet so seems like it would be out in early 2025 at the earliest, depending on how much longer the strike lasts. Then *maybe* Ashoka Season 2 after that then the Filoni-verse movie? The strike is really clouding up the picture of when things may happen... it may (probably?) will end up resulting in things getting cancelled and/or moved around.
  22. Yeah but the writing was on the wall. They knew what kind of viewers the show got in season 1 - and they were hoping it would improve in season 2 but with the strike looming, there was an air of uncertainty so it would have made sense to shoot and alternate ending at that point and just hope you don't have to use it....
  23. Yeah I've seen Gundy pull rabbits out of hats in the past when it seemed like everything is awful so I'm definitely in the "wait and see" camp. I've just NEVER seen a non-conference performance like what we just saw... just in terms of how the players were managed and what we were doing on the field. It literally looked like NFL pre-season games ... like we literally didn't really care if we won or lost those games... we were just trying guys out all over the field in weird rotations that didn't seem to have any kind of connection to what was actually happening in the game.... like "Oh - so-in-so had their 4 series - on to the next guy." And just running the most basic of basic stuff. Like not even trying to do ANYTHING other than lining up in very basic formations and running the same 6 plays over and over. Just absolutely fucking weird.
  24. I mean I think it's pretty clear that the plan was not to end the series with this season. I posted this up-thread but I'm guessing at a bare minimum the plan was to have them lose to the Celtics in '84 at the end of this season, then cover '85-87 in a final season ending with the Lakers' getting them for the second time in '87. But then either when they were close to finished shooting or some time in post-production they were told that there wouldn't be a 3rd season so hence the Poochie ending. EDIT - also I'm guessing that stuff with Dr. Buss and Jeanie were done as re-shoots after they found out there wouldn't be a 3rd season.
  25. He's not gonna do that and no it wouldn't be worth it. I guess this week in Ames will be the big tell. If we come out again running this stupid-ass rotation and this Mickey Mouse JV offense then we'll know. If we come out and have a solid looking game plan and are back to running a college-level offense then well... I'll still be pissed about how the first 3 games were handled but a little less so. I guess the good news for us is that most of the Big 12 looks like dogshit this year anyway so we might as well join in on the fun.
