I'd forgotten all about The Acolyte. It was only as I was reading this thread that I realised I never finished watching it.

Star Wars is always full of violent death. Skeleton Crew has had several already - didn't the kids blast some pirate fighters already? But this was cold-blooded and deliberate. It wouldn't have been out of place in Andor, for instance, but from a SW character who's not an outright villain it...

Apropos of not much concrete, does anyone else get the impression that Jude Law had the time of his life in this role?

These security droids were better shots than Stormtroopers. Better shots than most Rebels too. I'll admit I was a bit shocked by Jod's ruthlessness with Brutus. Not for the character, but for what so far has largely been a kid's show.

It seems to assume that anyone watching knows the story - no explanation of what a Hobbit is, a reference to Hobbiton coming out of the blue, several parts of the adventure stuck in seemingly for no reason except they're in the book - but at the same time it assumes that they'll be OK with the...

Has anyone mentioned the "Yes Minister" special "Party Games"? Sir Humphrey and Jim Hacker are both promoted!

It appears to be from the Dragonlance book "Time of the Twins" - Caramon is sent to an arena to train and fight as a gladiator. It's explicitly noted that the armour is impractical and serves mostly as a costume.

Back in the days of 3.0, Dragon had a cover depicting a close-up of a bare-chested male elf. A few issues later, they published a letter that someone had written complaining about how they couldn't leave that issue lying around, because they didn't want to have to explain gay erotica to their...

Someone put "walkable city" through Google Translate and got the wrong idea.
