  1. Yeah I a comment on Reddit noting that having young Ashoka in live action really drove home the fact how YOUNG she was when she was leading squads of Clones in the Clone Wars. Like in animation you may intellectually know she's a kid but because of the heightened reality of animation it doesn't really drive it home... but in live action it's like you realize DAMN she really was like a teenager leading campaigns in a WAR. Kind of shows you how she and others weren't wrong that the Jedi were kind of fucked in the head.
  2. Yeah I wasn't thinking they would go in-depth with them or anything. Just appearances... maybe 1 or 2 scenes with dialog and then mostly showing the basketball... basically like what they did with Dr. J.
  3. Actually I thought getting ~700k viewers on FS1 in the 9:30 CT window was a pretty solid result. FS1 typically has the lowest ratings across the board. Note that our game had more than double the viewers of the next closest game on FS1.
  4. Yeah seems like we'll definitely see some Bad Boy Pistons and almost certainly Jordan before the series is over.
  5. I don't think it was originally two seasons.... IIRC they didn't announce season 2 was a thing until about halfway through season 1. Anecdotally it seems like the show is a big hit so I'll be very surprised if they don't go ahead with season 3. The question will be how many more seasons/how much ground to cover? I know the show started with the HIV announcement, so it would make sense for that to be the bookend, but will that happen at the end of season 3? Season 4? They could go a couple of different ways... season 3 could just cover the '85 season... or maybe '85-87 to see the Showtime at its pinnacle and then season 4 could be the final season, showing the "decline" from '88-91 or so and the HIV announcement but could then end on a positive with some Dream Team stuff? That would be cool.
  6. It's kind of interesting that they are having the season culminate with the '84 Finals, given the outcome. But I'm also assuming that almost certainly means more seasons of the show, which I'm 100% in favor of.
  7. Yeah I was on a jury in a case where a step dad abused his 13-year old step-daughter back in 1987 (!) and then literally just left town. Long story short, the girl's younger brother (now a full grown man obviously) just happened to run across this guy in Wichita, KS and called back here to see if there was still an arrest warrant out for him... there was! They had collected a rape kit and everything back in '87 but through some kind of accident or something all of the physical evidence was lost. I remember the D.A. or judge or both (don't recall) at the trial basically explaining that real life isn't like CSI or whatever and that we should consider witness testimony "evidence" just the same as physical evidence. The wild thing was watching the video taped interview with the girl from back in '87 when she was 13 and then seeing her on the stand right in front of us when she was in her mid-30s. (This was several years ago) Oh and yeah the guy was guilty AF. IIRC he got like 25 years or something. And I think he was like in his 60s at the time so my man is spending the rest of his life in jail.
  8. Yeah I can't imagine Zeb not showing up. This is Filoni's show that is a direct sequel series to Rebels. Zeb is absolutely gonna show up at some point. I'll tell you who else I'd love to see - Agent Fucking Kallus. Having him and Zeb show up together at some point to fight Thrawn would be *chef's kiss*
  9. Hey congrats on the awesome win you guys. Happy for you all.
  10. Yeah once their young core got their feet under themselves last year they were a good team. They started 1-6 but were 8-2 in the last 10 games, just barely missing the playoffs. Should also note that 5 of their 8 losses were by 4 points or less. Even with Kelce out and Chiefs WRs having the dropsies, it's still impressive to go in and win in KC. They are a good team and will likely be in the playoffs this year barring a bunch of injuries.
  11. Filming on season 1 wrapped last October and they were well into post-production when he died in May; seems like not much time to really do anything about it after the fact. So yeah if his character survives season 1, it will be really interesting to see how they handle it. He's such an awesome character I'm really hoping the character doesn't survive so they don't have to do some weird shit (re-casting or face replacement or whatever). Would be cool to get a "young Baylen" story at some point... someone pointed out on Reddit how Henry Cavill would be awesome as a young Baylen.
  12. Episode 5 is directed by Filoni AND they are showing it in theaters? Gonna be fucking banger. We're obviously getting Anakin and, if I were a betting man, I'd say this is when Thrawn will be appearing for the first time.
  13. Not exactly, but what I inferred from his speechifying was that he thinks the whole system of Old Republic/Empire/New Republic/Jedi/Sith needs to be razed to the ground. He was probably hoping the Galactic Civil War provided that in some form of mutually assured destruction, but when the Rebel Alliance miraculously won and just set itself up just like the previous "Republic" regime, he felt like we were right back where we started and there needed to be a new war that would hopefully burn the whole thing down so we could start over with something new.... sort of a galactic chaos agent to provide a hard reset. And he thinks Thrawn is the man to help make that happen. Just my .02
  14. Well the "redemption" hasn't happened yet. I believe he was referring to the idea of her making a bad choice (giving the map back to Baylon instead of at least attempting to destroy it or run away) and then redeeming herself later in the show by coming to the point again where she has to make a tough choice but make the correct one. I don't think it's any coincidence that they showed the recording of Ezra in the "previously on Ashoka" montage when he said (paraphrasing) "Sometimes you have to make the tough choice" or "the choice others can't make" (or whatever it was...something along those lines). She was put in a tough spot to make the tough choice and she didn't come through. I'm willing to be she does later in the show. And yeah - I'd think from a writing and characterization standpoint it's a tough line to walk -- establishing the character for those who didn't watch the 4 seasons of Rebels vs. fans who did watch. Just from my perspective, I think the show is being written with the idea that you HAVE watched Rebels. I don't know how it couldn't be since it really is basically a live action season 5.
  15. I think people who think Sabine is acting "out of character" need to go back and watch the episode where Kanan is training her with the darksaber. She's petulant and pouty about needing to be trained. That's exactly how she's been acting, for the most part, when Ashoka is trying to train her. Sabine is from a royal family on Mandalore. She's been trained to fight from a young age and she also just has that Mandalorian thing of not liking being told what to do. The only person we've really seen her interact with in the Ashoka show (so far) is Ashoka and in student/learning mode. I think it fits exactly what we saw of her, in this regard, in Rebels.
  16. Is he "obviously evil?" I'm not getting that vibe at all. Yes he's one of the "antagonists" but it seems to me that they are going out of their way to show that he became disillusioned with the Jedi (just like Ashoka did) and his actions (in his mind) are for the "greater good", versus someone like Palpatine who is just craving power.
  17. She was definitely in the World Between Worlds there .... BUT.... it could also be a dream/hallucination since she has actually been there with Ezra.
  18. Not dead. She's in the "World between worlds." Nerd mode: engage: It's a plane of existence that exists between space/time. It was the original mode of faster-than-light travel in the SW universe before hyperspace travel was invented. It's accessible to some - but not all - force sensitive beings (both Jedi and Sith) from certain locations in the galaxy that are "inflection" or "nexus" points for the Force ... and typically there have been ancient temples built in those spots. Ezra was able to access it in Star Wars Rebels and used it to essentially rescue Ashoka when she was dueling with Vader. There's a lot of talk of it being "time travel" added to Star Wars but I don't think that's the intention. I think the idea is more akin to the "closed loop" time travel theory; e.g. Ezra didn't really "save" Ashoka or change anything by using the World between Worlds because that was always the thing that had happened. I'm probably not explaining it very well but that's the concept.
  19. Hell yes. So damn gorgeous and perfect.
  20. We mostly played like shit on Saturday, but we did look good.
  21. Totally forgot Kendall Briles is at TCU now. Even more reason to hate them. Go Buffs.
  22. LOL that’s good. And yeah as much as I’m dying for some Thrawn, I’m also getting the feeling he’s not showing up until the last episode… or maybe the penultimate one. They’re using him like the shark in Jaws at this point.
  23. Yeah I’m on record being bearish on Deion’s prospectus, but I’m damn intrigued to see what they will look like today. So while I have predicted them to fail, my extreme disdain for Sonny Dykes may have me rooting for Coach Prime today.
