🦇 The sci-fi, fantasy and capeshit thread

Is it just me or were there huge flashing lights & alarm bells screaming PLOT HOLE in Ep3 of Obi Wan?

Probably. Which bit is bothering you?

Spoiler for those that haven’t seen it yet

For me it was the exact same words that Vader says to Ben as in A New Hope…

Probably that bit.
But cant see it on my phone unusually

I blurred it out as a spoiler, tap it

yeah works on laptop can see it

No great surprise there

Yeah shame but it wasn’t for everyone. I found some of the concepts intriguing but I wasn’t sure where it was trying to go.

The Orville got serious and much better for it.

The absolutely 2nd best modern SciFi show

So, Halo is actually not shit
Yes a couple of episodes hang around too long, but overall, the story is engrossing without being engaging.
5 years (maybe 10) it would have been the best SciFi on TV, today it is enjoyable and I am glad I watched it - a similar rating to Another Life or Lost in Space.

It isn’t The Expanse, The Orville, The Mandalorian, (hopefully Obi Wan Kenobi, SNW or For All Mankind but it is watchable

A much better episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi this week, the last one was a bit weak IMHO.

Keep falling asleep watching the Orville but to be fair I had watched SNW then OWK first.

Still trying to shoehorn in the 1h40m needed to watch the final episode of Stranger Things.

I blame Orville getting serious.
It’s a heavy episode, puffed out with some fluff.
But it’s good Sci-Fi as in thought provoking.
I am still seeing a plot hole in Obi Wan.
Will rant about that at end of the series

I’ve been very disappointed with Kenobi, when you’ve only got 6 episodes you’ve got to make them count. Mandalorian episode 1 had me hooked within 10 minutes, Kenobi is still failing to grab my attention as it should. Having said that if they can get Ewan to suit up in General Kenobi’s clone wars armour to fight Vader all will be forgiven.

Sounds like bollocks. Took two seconds for Alec Guinness to make an impact.

Bad writing. They’ve turned Obi-Wan into a chump, he’s like Mr Bean bumbling his way through his latest objective but somehow succeeding.

He has issues.
Give him a break.

no.
NO.
NO!

The Captain of The Orville cannot end his motivating speech ship wide to the crew with…

“May the Force be with you”.

Life as a SciFi fan is hard enough as it is without Orville finding Obi Darth or something

He needs to buck up. He is a former General and expert tactician, one of the greatest Jedi Masters and light saberists and is showing none of these qualities. He has become Jar Jar binks.
