Binged The Mandalorian and Boba Fett … thank heavens for the footy season coming

I haven't seen Boba but I think they really did the wrong thing by that character when they cast Temuera Morrison
as him in the prequels. And then made him the genetic template for all Stormtroopers er Clonetroopers.

Mandalorian was a lot better by really milked the cute Yoda gimmick.

I've started watching season 1 of The Sopranos.

Agree DH, Morrison is an interesting choice and has some very low patches in his performances which detracts from the character in Boba somewhat. I"ve never been a Starwars fan but both series make good fill-ins. Sopranos is great.

I really think that less is more. And the lack of lines and backstory in the originals added to his mystery and we can make up our own stories. But everything is being strip-mined these days.

Yea I'm wearing my bath robe around and speaking my random Italian slang I learned from Sopranos. I amuse myself and what more do you need?

Might give Foundation a crack on Apple TV.

I also like watching Narcos but you need to be focused to read the subtitles. Scary stuff.

Boba fett was in a few episodes of clone wars animated. He has links with Cad Bane too so that was good to see them back at it.

Mando S1 was so/so but S2 was awesome.

Jon Favreau is doing a great job for Disney

Just finishing S1 of Peacemaker … a bit like too much red cordial for old bastards like me

Not as much compared to his intro in suicide squad 2

It wasn't a bad first season

[DIEHARD]

Started watching The Crown. My wife isn’t really a history buff. But she has a real interest in the royal family. Just half way through season one. Enjoying it so far. I can see why it was popular.

Nearly finished The Vikings: Valhalla S1 … not too shabby but if you like British period pieces then I highly recommend the weirdly named Peaky Blinders

I wrapped up watching the original Vikings. Before watching the last half of the last season I went back to season one and did a watch through. I'll have to take a break with that setting before I go back there.

Still walking through WD. I made myself a promise not to shave until I complete the series. My Rick Grimes beard. Not quite there yet.



I've been enjoying watching movies lately. Something nicely packaged to finish in 90-120mins. After all the media companies making everything a damn series. Started watching the old Star Trek movies. I love the Kirk/Spock/McCoy dynamic. With "Bones" my favourite.

Always up for recommendations. Especially documentaries.
