  • Haven’t seen Boom yet but maybe that’s because the season isn’t hitting for me.

    I enjoyed the 60th and the Christmas specials, but the first 2 episodes of this season were just fine. They weren’t terrible like the Chibnal era but they also weren’t as good as RTD’s first era.

    I’ve not had much to do this weekend so it’s not like I couldn’t watch the episode, in fact I felt like watching Doctor Who earlier and I instead watched some S1 even though Boom is still to be watched.

    I really hope the season gets better as the show has so much potential for more great stories, they just need to be made by the right people


  • To be honest, as a huge Halo fan, I was surprised when seeing those studios closed that 343 wasn’t one of them. The studio is just cursed, even a leadership change isn’t going to save them.

    Either make Halo games from all the studios under Microsoft or start a new one with people who are actual fans of the franchise




  • I’ve wanted to see Barriss become an inquisitor for a long time and I’m glad she acted like she did since she technically wasn’t fully wrong for her actions in the clone wars, she just went about it in the worst way.

    Episode 2 really showed how she was a good Jedi, but for what the Jedi were supposed to be, not soldiers which is why she did what she did.

    I do wish we got something more with Vader given that she was the one who basically triggered Ahsoka into leaving the order in the first place which surely helped with his fall to the dark side.

    Also I really hope she died at the end, we’ve had too many people surviving lightsaber wounds in recent years, bacta can’t heal everything.



  • Overall I think it was a very good series. Season 1 was decent, season 2 got really good in the back half and season 3 was very good throughout.

    After season 2 did explore more of the “clones after the war” plotline I was hoping for a resolution this season but it is “The Bad Batch” not season 8 of clone wars. I do hope they finish that story though, seems like a single season special could do it but not sure they’d want to do that.

    I do like that the brainwashed clones were just regular clones, not like resurrected Tech or someone else we knew. Not everybody needs to be a known character.

    Was quite surprised to see the whole batch survive, definitely thought Crosshair would’ve done some self sacrifice to save Omega but a happy ending for once is nice.

    Glad Rampart went out like that, we didn’t need another redemption arc for an Imperial. And Hemlok got what he deserved.

    Overall I think it wrapped up the series nicely, there are a few unanswered questions but hopefully they will be addressed in other upcoming media.



  • I’ve always thought that Barriss would become an inquisitor, so glad to see that finally happen.

    Loved Tales of the Jedi so hoping this continues to be a thing, just a short mini series fleshing out some characters using the beautiful Clone Wars art style.

    Hopefully we will have another animated series using the art style soon after Bad Batch ends, but one of these every year would also be great

    I would say Outer Wilds is very good. You have the ability to beat the game as soon as you start, but you don’t have the knowledge to beat it.

    Without spoiling it as it’s a very spoiler sensitive game, you can spend as long as you want gathering all of the knowledge to beat the game, you aren’t punished for taking your time. And all the knowledge you collect is stored in the games computer as long as you save so you can play for 22 minutes if you want, or multiple hours.

    I beat the game over the course of a few weeks playing for various amounts of time. Recently played the DLC too and that went the same.


  • Yes? The episode will premiere on iPlayer at midnight for the UK. At which point it will be ~7pm in America. It will then air on BBC One hours later, presumably at the usual UK time slot.

    So if I want to watch it as it goes live I’ll have to stay up till midnight and for the duration of the episode. Whereas in America, it’ll be a normal time for them.

    And yes I can wait till later in the day to watch the episode but then I’ll be missing that feeling of watching it with everyone else and not to mention it’ll have to be the first thing I do for the day if I want to avoid spoilers
