To watch or not to watch....
Feb. 18th, 2015 06:47 amSo after my extreme disappointment with Gotham the last couple of episodes, I actually haven't watched this week's episode yet. I finally got around to looking at the detailed summary, and there's definitely some things I'd like to see in it. But Fish Mooney's current predicament horrifies me, and then Barbara Kean is in the episode and she always makes me rage. From the summary, it sounds like she'll probably make me do it some more. Ugh, she gets upset when Jim kisses Leslie Thompkins? She walked out on him, wouldn't return his calls, and was fooling around with Renee Montoya for weeks! I wouldn't be surprised if she forgets about that and tries to present herself as being the wronged one. **rolls eyes.** I just can't stand her. I found out that in most comic verses except the most recent one, she doesn't die as I've always thought, but she and Jim get divorced. If she acts like this in the comics, it totally makes sense.
Anyway, if it was easier to skip scenes on Hulu, I would probably try watching it. But it's very difficult to do that there, since it loads and plays badly to begin with. So I'm conflicted with whether to watch or not. **sighs.**
Also, I learned that some of the classic Star Wars characters do appear in the Rebels series. That pleases me. But it seems like they only appear for an episode at a time; none are steady cast members. And I do question the idea of Ezra becoming a Jedi, etc. I mean, what happened to him by the time of the classic trilogy? It certainly seemed that there, the only Jedi at all was Luke, and his and Leia's Force sensitivity was why they were the only hopes. So if that was true, it seems Ezra must have died by then, as well as the unorthodox Jedi who introduced him to the Force, which is depressing.
And I was reading the Star Wars Insider again and saw a very nice picture of Lando. I think I actually went Purrrr in my mind. I knew I always liked Lando a lot, but I don't think I was aware that I'm attracted to him. Now that I realize, though, it makes perfect sense, like I knew it but just didn't know I knew it. And I'm excited and want Lando merchandise, like a figure.
I'm still kind of interested in that trilogy of Lando adventures, too, but I think I'd like it a lot more if it was Lando and Han having adventures together. I'm very intrigued by their friendship. The only book I know with them having an adventure together (that doesn't take place years after the classic trilogy and be really steeped in Expanded Universe stuff) is a newer book that has Han trying to get the money to pay Jabba after he somehow loses it following the first movie. I might get that book sometime, but I don't quite agree with the picture it presents. I had the impression that Han still had all the money by the second film; he had just gotten sidetracked by helping the Rebellion and hadn't left for Jabba's place yet because of that. And I find that angle a lot more moving than him staying because he didn't have the money anymore.
