Tassie Dave’s comments from the The Sword and Laser group.

I liked Princess Bride. The movie is better.

I, absolutely, hated "The Once and Future King"

The most boring book we have read so far.

Yes we did read it for Sword and Laser. The only time we read 2 books concurrently.

Back in 2010. Wow 10 years ago.

That's what made me think of it.

Do we even know that Pedro is in the armour? They could be using a stunt actor and having Pedro record the dialogue separately.

(view spoiler)[The guy Nite Owl has a name now as well. Axe Woves.

The Star Wars nerds are quick to find out that info and get it out on the internet.

None of that was on the Star Wars Wiki when I looked last night.

(view spoiler)[I wonder if Bo-Katan might provide a way for Mando to get his helmet off in future? Move him away from the zealot Mandalorian path. (hide spoiler)]

We finally get the hooded figure from the trailer (Mercedes Varnado AKA Sasha Banks)

(view spoiler)[but she isn't named in the show or the credits.

I think we can rule out Sabine Wren

All we know is that she is one of Bo-Katan's soldiers (a Nite Owl? ) (hide spoiler)]

I liked the couple of call backs to Baby Yoda's indiscretions of last episode 😉

Cool. A reason to keep Disney+ once The Mandalorian finishes.

Smart move Disney.

Do you also hate motherhood, democracy and pie? 😡"

I don't hate Jeopardy. Just the format 😉

The aussie equivalent was "Football, Meat Pies, Kangaroos & Holden cars"

General Motors was a co-partner with Holden in Oz. Hence the shared ad jingle.

I'd think the best player ever should take over. Which would obviously be Watson 😉

I've never been a fan of the arse-about nature of the question/answer format of Jeopardy 😕

Was there moral outrage that Han shot first? I don't remember any.

The only outrage I remember was when we fans, who saw and loved the original cut (before it became New Hope), saw the new cut with the Greedo shot first edit.

As for baby Yoda. The only thing that makes his actions outrageous is that we know how important they (his snacks) are. If they were a replenishable resource, then it would be naughty for him to do it, but not morally outrageous.

After he is caught the first time, it is Mandos fault for A) not keeping BY away from them. B) not telling Froggie to keep a better eye on them

I wonder how the morally outraged would have acted if the bottle had been empty after BY's midnight snack ;-)

How did I not recognise the X-Wing pilot as the dad from "Kim's Convenience"? Of course it is.

Tom mentioned it on another podcast.

The other one was Dave Filoni, I'm not surprised I didn't recognise him.

I just watched the movie yesterday and I would say that Sophie is the main character of the movie as well.

I thought the movie was ok, but nothing special.

I much preferred the book version.

It is a 7 year old article ;-)

I think they were just naming all the Welsh actors they knew at the time. That's why I was surprised they missed CZJ

I think you could make anyone Doctor Who. They have had wildly different characters play the role.

The early ones changed dramatically each time from grumpy Grand-fatherly figure to scruffy bumbler to gentlemanly dapper to playfully reflective nerd to eccentric english lad to arrogant git to playful buffoon to ......

I'm surprised they didn't mention Catherine Zeta-Jones

Howl's Moving Castle (the movie) is on Netflix outside North America. As are most of the Studio Ghibli movies.

Now I want to rewatch Cowboy Bebop

It's about the journey, not the destination 😉

I don't mind that it is weekly episodic stories, with an overarching story arc.

So now Baby Yoda is a (view spoiler)[genocidal baby killer (hide spoiler)] 🤨

But a cute (view spoiler)[genocidal baby killer (hide spoiler)] 😉

So I guess the Rebels are traffic cops now. Even to the point of being jaded about doing their job properly, or caring (view spoiler)[if Mando, Frog Lady and Baby Yoda freeze to death (hide spoiler)] 😉

I would think Dame Edna would be our Queen

Trike wrote: "Why do you know so much about our politicians? "

US politics feature heavily on our News networks.

I don't have much time for any of them. But AOC is closest to my own political view. Yes, I'm a pinko 😉 (i.e. a socialist) which is fairly mainstream in our Labor party.

The most horrific show I have ever watched...."

Hopefully it has a happy ending. Fingers crossed. Though I think you guys/gals deserved a better Dem. candidate, IMHO.

Go AOC for 2024 😃
