Acolyte is really ending on a high. It is ultimately a show about the consequences of one event in the past, constantly referenced but never fully explained
Until now.
This weekās episode was 100 percent flashback, focusing entirely on that fateful day.
And it was excellent. I feel like re-watching the first six episodes with this context in my brain
Fair play to Disney for taking a risk on this one. Itās set 100 years before the prequels. Theyāre relying, so far, on all new characters.
But I would not be surprised to be introduced to Darth Plagueis in the finale.
Some time back I mentioned that The Ark was not shit.
S1 had Dr Who 1980s quality sets and acting that was never winning any awards.
But what it did have was a good SciFi base story with some decent human interest and political twists.
I enjoyed it and was surprised when, after a classic Season ending cliff hanger it hot renewed.
S2 is now streaming. Ep1 opens well and if Im honest is a step up from S1. And so far my rating is āim enjoying itā
This is never gonna be The Expanse level but it is good TV.
And a surprising not shit (50%) rotten tomatoes rating.
Kaos next and if I get bored the Termina6Cartoon thibg
The Rings of Power S2 is on Prime.
Ā£1 billion for 5 seasons.
It is epic, it is grand.
And?
Nobody cares
So ehow they missed the fact they needed to play to an audience
Dune Prophecy should be dropping on Sky Stlantic for you.
This is a Grand Canvas. It speaks of a time 10,000+ years before the film (about when @Lets-B-Drinking last went to the cinema to see Sting.
It starts at the end of Terminator (or something) and moves swiftly on to Game of Thrones without Dragons but burnings.
All the reports say it is not Dune - duh - but it is a story, carried by Emma Watson and a āconfusedā Mark Strong.
I am sure Dune nerds will be dampening bed sheets, but I am watching something well made that is slightly better than Not Shit and in Grand Canvas terms not as āwho cares?ā as Rings of Power
Iām a Dune nerd and have been excited for this, however I am currently having to watch a bunch of no-marks lounging about in āthe jungleā because when the missus is in the house Iām not allowed to watch my āstupid space stuffā
Iām currently swamped.
Dune Prophecy - because
Lioness - because itās bloody great
Umbrella Academy S4 - because itās all wrong and complicated and complete shit and fucking genius and hard work
And then bloody Eddie - WHERE IS EPISODE 6 FFS
And thatās all before I try and get back into Cobra Kai
