      @JoshC re: our drunken basement convo…

      Ashoka ep 5 was everything I wanted from this show. The flashback… heartbreaking. The lightsaber action… among the best. The return of one of my least favorite actors… totally redeeming.

      I could watch an entire series just about Ashoka brushing her teeth.

        My favorite part though I intentionally left vague since it’s more of a spoiler. I’ll give it a week and circle back because it was beyond what I expected.

            @Matt IT WAS SOOO GOOOD, I watched it on my way to work on my phone, because there was spoilers flying around on social media at 7am here in the UK, but I did watch it again on my lunch break on the laptop to ensure I didn't miss anything. the episode was amazing, @sabergirl completely agree it felt more like the magical essence of Star Wars that I love compared to the recent more slow burn and gritty series like Andor which is cool but isn't best. You can really tell that Filoni took control of that whole episode and series with the nods and connections to everything.

            I won't say to much just incase people haven't watched it yet but if it carries on like this the series for me it will be the best start wars series they've done over the last 5 years, I think next weeks will be a little bit of a slow burner episode but it will end strong I reckon but thats just a wild theory.

              The original Office (the British one) is still one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I remember watching it when it was first released and it blew me away. I went out and bought the DVD’s as soon as I could. I still watch it when I need a good laugh. The US version definitely has its moments but in my opinion will never compare to the original.

                I was hoping to watch some Clone Wars and Rebels before diving into Ahsoka but the pull was too strong for my son who has been dying to start watching. We’ve now watched 2 episodes and it’s been awesome. My son is like a Star Wars encyclopedia and it has been so much fun watching him get excited about Easter eggs and plots/characters that I am totally clueless about. It’s been like having a professional guide who has a 12 year old’s sense of wonder and excitement. Absolutely loving it so far and can’t wait to get caught up.

                        Only three episodes in but so far Netflix’s One Piece has been an outstanding adaptation from the manga

                        I've never seen the anime or read the manga, but Mrs H and I finished season 1 of One Piece last night and really enjoyed it. It's completely bonkers.

                        I gather the original creator of the manga was closely involved in the production of this one (in contrast with the abysmal live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, stick with the original anime on that one) which probably explains why it was so much better.

                        Take the dive...

                          @EdH completely bonkers sums it up nicely (similar to the tone of the anime). The casting and character portrayal is perfectly over the top. I did not look into if the creator was involved with the live action but they manage to cut out a lot of the filler while keeping the essentials.

                            Big fan of The Boys and watched the first eps of Gen V today. Liked it a lot.

                                    good plug @endo we are watching this one too. The Haunting of Hill House has a lot of these same actors and it's one of my favorite series ever made. I've watched that one 3 times and still find new ghosts creeping in the background of scenes that I hadn't seen before.

                                    They take the same approach in this show with a ghost peering around a corner during a scene that you may not catch.

                                      Mrs H and I finished season 2 of Wheel of Time. I think I preferred it to Season 1. It's been years since I read the books but the interpretation of the source material seemed closer to what was presented. As ever, the books are superior, but it was a good watch. For the uninitiated though, it can be quite dense with all the terminology they use. I had to translate a lot of the jargon for Mrs H so that she could follow along at points. If you've read the books you'll have had so much exposure to words like "Tarmon Gai'don" and "Tel'aran'rhiod" and "ter'angreal" that it will all come flooding back to you.

                                          @EdH Dude, I really liked the live-action Cowboy Bebop. It's a far cry from the source material, but I thought it was entertaining in it's own right.

                                          It's nearly impossible to compare manga/anime/cartoon/videogame adaptations to live-action. I've found it's best to leave my expectations at the door and consider it an almost entirely separate thing.

                                          Having said that, I'd like to exercise my right to double-standard - the new Little Mermaid was way off base. When children immediately proclaim "That is NOT Ariel!", then you have goofed up, Disney.

                                          "The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today...The whole future lies in uncertainty: Live immediately."

                                            It's a good show, Mrs H and I are saving the last episode for Friday.
