Star Wars: The Mandalorian

[CyberCubed]

Also these eps are getting shorter and shorter, the third episode was only 33 minutes long! I wonder if it's a budget thing. I remember the first season had all close to 50 minute eps if I remember right.

It really bugged me how old the made her character on Flash looked. Major props to the make up crew on this show.

You're remembering wrong. There's at least 3 episodes from season one that were around 30-36 minutes. Only episode that was the closest to 50 minutes was the season finale.

Watching every week like clockwork, right at midnight. It's what I look forward to the most

I'm hoping we see more Boba this season, because I'm starting to wonder if they are going to push that plotline into season 3 before he gets his armor back.

Seeing Ahsoka in live action this season is going to be incredible.

There's a lot to get to. Moff Gideon and the Darksaber, Ahsoka's introduction, getting Baby Yoda to the Yoda people, we know Carl Weathers is coming back, Gina Carano's character too, probably these 3 Mandalorians will come back... and we're already like halfway done with the season and the Mandalorian is still like doing side missions.

They're at it again.

so basically not a democrat, so lets cancel her.

It's pretty clear to anyone the dems have lost their minds over the last 4 years...smh

[Leo656]

And when Tim Allen, Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain and James Woods all but said exactly that - that if you're a Conservative in Hollywood they pretty much take your entire livelihood away - people laughed and accused them of being whiny bitches. But it's absolutely how things work now. "Fire them! Put them ALL on a list! Blame and Shame!" And so on and so forth.

It's just McCarthyism/"Red Scare" in reverse. Laughable, yes. Shocking, no.

Y'know what? I disagree with her. In fact, I suspect her of being a moron.

But I don't want her fired. The woman has her right to her opinion. Plus, there's that whole idea of "freedom of speech", some fvcking thing we wrote into our Constitution on a whim.

Her only mistake is saying it publicly, because in this day and age, the wrong opinion gets ya canned.

Is it that moronic, though?

The actual tweet, broken down:

We need to clean up the election process so we are not left feeling the way we do today.

OK. If there are areas that could be tidied up, who would want to get in the way of that? The worst that can happen is it's thoroughly investigated, nothing dodgy is found, and then both sides can feel satisfied that elections are fool-proof.

Put laws in place that protect us against voter fraud.

I feel like there already are, but why be against this?

Investigate every state.

I would hope that we can trust each state to investigate themselves... but OK. Nothing wrong with impartial oversight. It just needs to be impartial, though.

Film the counting.

To a certain extent, sure. Why not?

Flush out the fake votes.

Goes without saying.

Require ID.

Definitely goes without saying. And it needs to be IDs in states that are vetted... WA here just had a real problem with this. Since we're a little loosey goosey with our IDs and Driver's Licenses, a lot of illegal immigrants can and do get them (I know about 100 here), so starting a while back you could only get on an airplane if you went and got an "Enhanced" ID/driver's license here. As in, show more proof you are who you say you are to the DOL. Definitely OK with someone showing the equivalent to vote.

Make Voter Fraud end in 2020.

I'd prefer it to end 20 years ago, if it's out there. But if it is, sure, absolutely.

Fix the system.

K. As opposed to breaking it further? Of course. Who would disagree?

And then she posts a funny meme about blindfolds to go along with masks. So what? I chuckled. I don't believe she is wishing DEATH upon anyone, or anything macabre like that.

[Leo656]

Andrew's right. There's absolutely nothing offsides in that Tweet. But even if she is a "moron"... People are technically allowed to be "morons" as long as it doesn't affect their work.

I've worked with (and for) many, many stupid people. But they were good at their jobs. In a working environment, that's all that's supposed to matter.

I don't even watch the show, as I'm pretty much done with Star Wars. I just think it's comical how "The Tolerant Left" is going full blown Red Scare on anyone who's a Conservative. Right now they're "only" pushing for "The List"/"Blame and Shame", get 'em all fired and all that. But it won't be too long before "Throw 'em all in jail" becomes the mantra. And then "Kill 'em all, they're in the way of 'progress'."

A lot of 'em already do say that stuff. I know PLENTY who say it. Just privately/quietly. They're just waiting until it's acceptable to say it out loud in public. But rest assured, lots and lots of Liberals do think that Conservatives should either be thrown in jail or outright killed for their beliefs.

But they can't SAY that - yet - so "Get 'em all fired" is what they settle for. For now.

These are your so-called "good guys". Makes me sick.

I see a lot of that in social media right now. People on the left are definitely trying to test the waters right now, lol ("anyone who was a Trump fan or supporter, anyone involved at all in that, we should NEVER forget it! they are evil and should be blacklisted... right?? you guys feel me, right??" and so on, etc., as if conservatives are the Nazis escaping WWII to go to Argentina), but there ARE a few I see stepping in like, "No, no no, we have to be better than that... you can't go around SAYING that" while also not actually telling them they're wrong about any of it.

**** off with your voter fraud, go whine in the joe biden thread. You guys are the thing you claim to hate.

My voter fraud? I don't have any voter fraud. There may not be any or there might be and I'm hardly frothing or crying in the corner about anything.

*shrug*

Reminds me of the Voltron type of posters where you respond to a thread about something (generally political), and Voltron (or someone like him) would always respond with, "You guys just lose your minds in these posts! Hahah! I love it!" Like, really. Come over to my house. Come over to any of our houses. I'm, like, here halfway looking at the screen, halfway looking at the TV, probably munching on a sandwich, listening to music and editing footage fending away cats and dogs. I'll reply, but I'm not like invested in this. I promise you, I don't care. Really.

You seem way more angered than anyone on this side of the arena. And that's not the first time you've lobbied the "you are what you eat!" cyclical thing.

[Leo656]

Every time I see a more moderate Liberal chastise an extremist for saying "Kill all the Republicans", the extremist merely fires back, "No, they're all Nazis so they deserve it." Some of them don't say "Kill all Republicans" but say "Kill all cops" instead... in which case their supposedly more moderate brethren don't even bother to chastise them. They're silently A-OK with killing cops, if not anyone who votes Republican.

It's the exact same stuff they always accuse "the racist and sexist Conservatives" of doing, just in reverse. The lesson being, "It's totally okay to kill someone for their beliefs, as long as their beliefs are 'in the way of progress'." Anyone deemed a "Nazi" is expendable.

Wonder if Biden's ever gonna "get in front of this" and denounce and decry his base from saying such things. Y'know, "tolerance and unity" or all'a that. Or if he's perfectly fine with huge chunks of his base saying that people they don't agree with should be fired/blacklisted/arrested/shot/etc.

Kinda think I know.

Word. I was scrolling my "news" feed while eating dinner and this jumped out at me. I wasn't aware that observational posts were demonstrations of "anger". All I said was that modern-day Liberals are acting like McCarthy-era "Red Scare" Conservatives, and provided anecdotal evidence to support that observation.

Observation isn't "anger", kids.

Has nothing to do with the thread, people are trying to "cancel" Gina Carano is non-news, even the article states it's not going to happen. If it did happen and she had a compelling character then go ahead and complain but right now it's literally nothing. Now we have this boring political talk with the same 4 people instead of the Mandalorian and we already have dozens of active threads discussing the same thing. You are discussing politics on a fan forum of the 80s Kids show Ninja Turtles.

You know what? I'll back down here. She may not be a moron.

But in my small little social circle of people I interact with and know well enough to make educated judgments, the people who believe in voter fraud also believe that Trump is a Bible-thumping Christian, and that the moon landing was faked.

(At this point, I'm afraid to ask those people if they still believe the Earth is round.)

So, as far as my snap judgment: until they prove otherwise, I think they're a moron due to association. For you and Leo and some others here? I've read enough of your thoughts, or messaged enough with you guys, to know better. I might not agree with your opinions, but I can at least credit you with intelligence and rational thinking.

Oh, and she's an actress. Lotta stupid actors and actresses out there.

It's less "boring" than your constant terrible opinions and absolutely nothing else of relevance. You contribute about as much to this forum as Ben Shaprio contributes to Planned Parenthood.

People make entire THREADS about every passing headline under the sun in this sh*thole whether it's "news" or not. Every single day.

You yourself have written entire screeds about the Hanna-Barbera "shared universe" and trying to make it all "canon". C'mon, son. Don't you dare chastise anyone else for taking up space and wasting peoples' time when you've done plenty of that yourself, Champ.

If you're gonna finger-wag, at least be consistent.

Part of me wishes I lived in Texas. I'm a huge, huge fan of cowboy boots, big-ass belt buckles, and damn fine barbecue.

F*ck that humidity, though. That's like the biggest thing that keeps me away. "105 in the shade" isn't something I'm alright with, even if I could ignore everything else. That's a hard "nope" from me, good buddy.

Brother, believe me, the heat fvcking SUCKS. If you have a choice between being broke and going without A/C, you go broke. I drove for a summer without A/C, and it was motherfvcking brutal. Never again!

You'd make a damn good, Texan, though; you've got the attitude down pat.
