Not so fast. At least for my threads, three stars has always been official practice. Anything more is overkill.

twilly for the win.

Well kind of a kick in the teeth that they use the trailer to announce they've pushed it back 3 weeks to September 21... but


SAW
A GD Z-95 Headhunter!
Clone troopers!
LAATs!

I gotta say I'm way more hyped for the Coruscant parts than then Andor parts. And not just because Genevieve O'Reilly is a smokeshow.

The Andor parts of fomenting the riots and stuff reminds me of my favorite scene from The Hunger Games where Katniss honors Rue with the song and the hand gesture, and Rue's district is watching on the monitor and decides enough of this imperial bull****, it's time to **** something up. The OT is all about hope and we're all one big happy family and being brave, but I've always admired that Cassian's character in Rogue One and hopefully the broader picture in his part of this show is the simmering rage that an oppressed people feel against a giant organization like the Empire and finally building into something dangerous and explosive.

Unlike Boba Fett and Kenobi, I have legitimately high hopes for this one.

Looks cool but more stories tied into skywalker saga = yawn, need to branch out with more like Mando and Ashoka

We have brand new Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars series all within a month of each other.

It's gotta be one of the biggest months for TV ever.

Mando and Ahsoka are as tied into the Skywalker saga is Andor is.

Mando didn't have to be, but it is. Ahsoka's show might not be, but she's literally Anakin's padawan.

At least we have options if (when?) football goes to hell.

I'm excited for one, cautiously optimistic about one but still not anticipating it, and we'll wait to find out what the buzz is before I watch it about the third

Nah I expect the Aggies to go 8-5 every year. Start off 4-0 or 5-0, lose to a Mississippi school for no apparent reason, beat somebody in the Top 5, talk about how we were so close, eff around for 3 quarters in our bowl game, and then beat Wake Forest or Duke by 5 and wind up 13th-17th in the polls.

This is the way. I expect 7-8 wins and rarely get disappointed

1. Rings of Power
2a. House of the Dragon
2b. Andor

Can't bring myself to put Andor dead least, but it's ever so slightly in last place for me currently.

Exactly the opposite for me.

Wheel time was so lackluster, I don't trust Amazon to do fantasy. I will wait to see what the buzz is.

GoT I am cautiouy optimistic because it is one book and has a known outcome but due to how bad GOT thrones became, I am not excited for it. Will watch in real time.

Andor just looks awesome and is I want in star wars. So excited to see Forrest revive his best role since Charles Jefferson. Can not wait.

Aggie Football is like a Disney + series at this point.

I didn't expect the Harkonnens to side with the Rebels over the Empire, but maybe it was a youthful indiscretion.

If you think of Aggie Football as a weekly TV series then the zoo is basically just a mega version of every show thread on here. There's favorite scenes, least favorite scenes, half the fans hate each other, wild theories of what's to come, awful predictions, etc.

Speaking of Aggie Football, I saw on the zoo an interview where Josh Pate says that Texags Premium had a thread with over 1.2 million views over the weekend regarding a pool party recruiting event.

Texags is a machine. Just thought I'd drop that nugget here in our small corner of the TA world.

You left She Hulk off your list?
Duncan Idaho
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I am going into she hulk (that's what he said) with the same expectations I had for the other Disney+ marvels shows. That is to say none. But they have hit the right tone enough times with shows based on characters I didnt care about (wandavision, Hawkeye, Ms marvel) that I will watch as released.

Yes, because I could not possibly care less about it.

Apparently Andor was shot on practical sets at various locations rather than in the 'Volume' LED screen set like the rest of the Star Wars series.

I think the Volume was used brilliantly in Mandalorian but Obi Wan has me soured on it. It didn't look right in several instances. Vader v Obi Wan where Vader is chasing around Obi Wan at a quarry. Leia outrunning grownass adults and that Inquisitor lady v Speeder all looked very confined.

Hope they find a way to use both practical and the Volume depending on what looks better.
