The sci-fi TV thread

Here’s what I know, and what I think:

  1. Mars got the asteroid
  2. The Happy Valley XO (guy that went to get Massey) ran out of tether before he got plumed

Echo (Disney+) is decent, but clearly got fucked by the writers’ strike. The first couple of episodes have amazing big set pieces, and the last two are shorter and mostly conversation.

Echo vs DareDevil was a great fight.

Meanwhile, I clicked on to Ms Marvel ahead of “The Marvels” hitting the streams, and what a fun show.

It felt like just a teaser to put things into place for the next phase in the “street level” world of Marvel. Which is totally fine.

Mangers N’Bash is a peddler of classified information.
Piggy Fudding is a cheerfully chubby co-pilot.
Ellied Jeels is, ironically, an aristocrat who operates in privileged circles on Coruscant.
Pepherds Shie is a high-ranking Imperial officer.
MikkaTasala is a Wookie ally.

Somehow Dotted Spick doesn’t work as well as one might have hoped.

Or, you cold just go full Phantom Menace, and make him a junk-trading slave owner.

The Marvels is hitting Disney+ on Feb 7.

I really enjoyed the Ms Marvel series and did stick around for the post-credits scene, so I’m looking forward to this.

Has anyone seen Rebel Moon yet? Is it worth the two hours?
