@ryan Ever watched the 1970s (possibly 80s) comic scifi spoof "Dark Star"? Still creases me up.

@john-folan I really do think Disneys focus was the series not the films, they had to do the films and let's face it they were always going to be pressure.

Rogue one they smashed though.

These series have been amazing, getting better and better!

man these mid-season breaks are brutal!

Better Caul Saul and now Stranger Things, hope this isn't a new trend

Stranger things is ok but man are those kids irritating or what? Me - Im on the monsters side - eat the buggers.

@martin i was reading about this back in the day americans did this as shows would run then sports would start so didnt so didnt lose viewers. Now streaming services do this so you dont just sign up in a month and leave

@john-folan trying not to spoil but maybe best Vader scene ever !! hope so fallen order was epic

Yeah that was. Say a lot of things about Disney but they have got Vader bang on. That sequence was utterly jaw dropping.

Kenobi has been fantastic. The fifth episode is just amazing. Darth Vader is the GOAT

Agree I was worried they may not use Vader right but he was unreal last episode honestly mouth hit the floor

The last 10 minutes were just fantastic and I have to say unlike the internet I love Reva. She’s like an onion. Lots of layers. Apparently she might be getting a spin off series. I am not anti this. Hopefully she turns up in the new Fallen Order game.

Just finished the first season of The Alienist on Netflix. Watched it with the good lady and we both thought its just a Sherlock Holmes clone at first but it did go its own way after a bit. Some good performances in it a few questionable plot lines but enjoyable to watch.

It's certainly a bonus of parenthood......winding up your kids

@dan-mackinnon I have been waiting to be a dad for so long so my jokes can be funny!!!

It's a small window before you become an embarrassment

I'm an embarrassment to my daughter, but I think it's hilarious. My daughter only tolerates me because all her friends love me! All her friends think I'm great fun and Chloe hates that!!

As long as YOU think it is funny. That is all that matters
