It seems like the view from a parallel universe. This season
actually saw a few episodes of Star Wars: The Mandalorian that were
panned by critics and fans. Has some of the shine come off the
Beskar armor that previously made Mando the only blaster proof
property in the Star Wars universe? Has Mando jumped the Krayt
Dragon? And perhaps most importantly, will the bottom fall out of
the market for Grogu merchandise? Meanwhile, Paramount’s Star
Trek: Picard has somehow managed to deliver the series Trek fans
have been waiting three seasons to see. It’s fun, it’s nostalgic,
and it actually feels like Star Trek. All of which is a bit weird,
because in previous seasons, Picard has not gone there
before. Only one week remains for both of these series, while
one needs to score in the closing round, the other simply needs to
run out the clock and not drop the ball. While we wait the Joe’s
break it down with in depth analysis. Geez, what’s with the sports
metaphors? It’s like someone started watching Ted Lasso.
There’s also Random Topics, and even more talk about upcoming shows
and films. There’s a lot to look forward to, or at least to keep
your fingers crossed over. Thanks for listening!
