I have a suspicion that Matt Stone and Trey Parker hope it never ends, they are great source material for South Park.

The deus ex machina PDA/Bot/Universal tool is a bit too much. When in doubt, whip it out.

Welcome to something Who fans have known for 56 years with the Sonic Screwdriver. But hey at least Pip has more personality than a SciFi looking pen.
The difference between the number of thumbs-down critics from All Critics and Top Critics is 3 reviewers. Seven thumbs down in the Top Critics group and 10 thumbs down in the All Critics group. Stuff like that happens with a small sample size.
Of course, for years people never made mention of Top v. All critics until certain people found they can cherry pick a score more suited to their opinion by doing so.
Randos on the internet who think they could do better would be really wild!!!
I didn't know they were the ultimate arbiters of criticism.
Especially since they admitted they felt foolish years after making fun of Al Gore and the "supposed" global warming non-issue given the light of what reality has dished out since then.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Can we please lose the stupid skip credits pop-up for these shows with opening credits that are literally seconds long?
Seems decent so far. Good performances. Good production values. Story seems interesting Intriguing enough that I want to see where it goes.
What's up with this thread? I started to skim it and it's just pages of the usual whining about Star Wars in general?

IMHO, it's for discussions about this series as it unfolds. With only two episodes released, it will have more comparisons with other Star Wars stories from different eras than the story line as much hasnt been revealed.
As this is set during the High Republic preceeding all prior movie and non-comic/book stories, the immediate takeaway is that whatever government and society existed, it wasn't sustainable. Now we get to watch these failing constructions fall apart. What it does show, no matter what the show runners want to portray, is that these organizations, both good and bad, as populated did not work. The Jedi myth as successful peacekeepers is false as well as the Sith rule of two.
Like Rogue One, a better movie in that every main resistance character dies, I see that so far, individuals don't matter in the long run.
Kind of fitting IMHO in that Lucas used Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress as a template and replaced the Yamma clan with the the Empire and the Akizuki with the rebellion but a rebellion styled after the Vietnamese Civil War.
Just brining it up.
With Disney recently posting fake reviews and influencers talking about all the bribing that goes on, I’ll just stick with the score from the people not on the Disney payroll.
The audience score.
Currently at 32%.
Proof
How about the barrage of YouTubers complaining about the lack of white men without watching a single episode in a story that does not talk about race or gender at all… so I am not sure what that has to do with anything
I am not saying most people watching the show are agreeing with those YouTubers…but they post videos trying to prove the audience agrees with their thoughts…I don’t think it is a huge jump that them and their followers would influence the audience ratings

This is how it will ultimately be judged IMO.

Maybe episode 3 brings the Star Wars audience together for the first time since The Force Awakens….
Tired talking point.
I read the first 15 or so negative reviews on RT and they where all valid reasons to dislike the show.
Also there are plenty of YouTubers who give glowing reviews that have massive audiences.
As far as proof of fake reviews evidence was just posted the other day in the Tiana thread. We also have prominent influencers talking about how they
Receive special treatment from Disney.
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter anymore does it ?
Star Wars is a corpse of its former self.

Hmm, hasn't this been brought up before, even as recent as last year, and debunked time and again.
So Disney is running an influence campaign and a "payola" bribe scam at the same time just to get higher RT scores? Have any actual proof of that?
Sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theorists that "just don't like that critics rate something higher than they feel it should be" rather than being true. And if true it would be the biggest scandal since the payola scandals of the 1960s. One wonders why if its true there is not a suit filed and investigation opened up by the DOJ right now against Disney (and any other studios involved or is it only Disney that does this "supposed" campaign) for this practice? Or could it be that critics really do just like/rate things differently than the regular audience?

So far its costume manikins wandering through scenery interspersed with "fight" scenes taken from a 1970's Hong Kong Kung Fu flick. Did I mention the Haley Mills trope poorly executed ?

Look if you don’t want to look at the evidence then this conversation isn’t going to go anywhere.
Disney was caught posting fake reviews for Tiana’s Bungled Adventure.
If a company is willing to push boundaries in one area people are going to assume they are willing to do it in others.
I don’t know if they are trying too influence critic reviews or not.
I do one they actively pursued that strategy as recently as a few days ago in another arena.
And we just had an instance of someone who gives negative reviews still being on Disney's preview access list...
And if Disney is "buying" positive reviews, then how is it possible for some content to have a preponderance of bad reviews (check out the scores for Secret Invasion)?
Your premise has obvious evidence to the contrary and is even self-contradictory.
But, cool conspiracy theory, bro.

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with any "fake reviews" that Disney actually got caught posting for TBA. Can anyone prove that claim that it was Disney that did this if it really happened, or is this again supposition based on a personal belief that someone couldn't possibly like the attraction?
For example I can say I like what I see with TBA, and Disney isn't paying me a dime to say that.
Again sounds more like a conspiracy theory.
