This show is so unbelievably bad. The acting is bad. The characters are bad. The plot is bad. The writing is bad. The concepts are bad. The sets are bad. Whoever was responsible for creating and approving this show should go back to making after-school garbage for the CW.

What a disappointment. The writing and plot were cartoonishly horrible. Ahsoka, like every character in the show, had no character arch, and she turned out to be a guest star on this train wreck of a show. Sabine’s learning the force with zero training was offensive and completely undermines the gravity of Jedi training. Thrawn was an incompetent overgrown blueberry, not a tactical war genius. It was plainly bad storytelling, and the show really makes me bummed that Disney has turned this amazing franchise into lackluster laser sword duels. Disney Star Wars is more concerned with memberberry moments and pointless nostalgia than thoughtful storytelling. Zero stars.

This movie had potential, but the characters and storyline felt flat and simplistic. In the end, nothing about it felt satisfying besides the location and costumes. While not exactly the same genre, The Green Knight was much more effective and entertaining. I wouldn’t recommend paying money to watch The Northman.

Episode 1-5 Spoilers ahead! Firstly, I’ve never read the books, so these comments are from someone with no background on the original story. Ok… So Gale is a one of the most intelligent mathematicians in the *entire* universe, yet she grows up on a planet that never lets her actually study math or any other subject? Did she learn math through osmosis? Did she get a math chip implanted in her brain? Because last I checked, you can’t learn anything well without actually studying it for many, many years with books, tutors, and teachers (or YouTube). Are we supposed to actually buy that she became a brilliant math genius by swimming to the bottom of the sea and digging up one single book about math and then writing nonsense scribbles on spacepaper? The origin of Gale’s mathematical brilliance is major plot hole (among others), and it’s only gotten bigger with episode 5’s flimsy backstory about her. Furthermore, the whole premise of the Foundation makes no sense. They need to go to some far-off planet to save humanity’s knowledge? They need to decide what information will be saved and what won’t? Do they not have computers, internet, teraflops of redundant solid state or cloud storage (or Google?!) to capture all these things? I want to love this show, but it’s just not very well written or thought out. They clearly want to make a GOT meets Star Wars, but the characters are one-dimensional and cliche. The sex scenes are pointless and vanilla. They use cheap cliffhangers to try to get you back for the next episode, but you don’t really care about any of the characters because they’re so flat. And to make it worse, the acting often feels so bad that it keeps you from getting fully-immersed in what looks like one of the most visually beautiful sci-fi shows ever made.
