Curi made by me

I've heard several comments on this sub about this episode, even dare to consider it the worst episode of Babylon 5, which I find quite absurd having seen it.

I mean, it has a pretty good main storyline, with Delenn taking charge of the Rangers and the conflict that creates with Neroon, as well as a great moment with Delenn and Marcus (who with each passing moment becomes more and more my favorite character). It's true that Garibaldi's subplot is a bit meh (I would have preferred a giant CGI Zarg to that), and I'll venture to say that Robert Englund's character, which some highlight as the best part of the episode, gets a bit repetitive after a while, but it's not that bad; it's accidentally campy (in a good way), and entertaining. In fact, I find Walkabout a little more boring in direct comparison.

Anyway, with episodes like Grail or A Late Delivery from Avalon, I'm surprised that an episode that actually does advance the series' plot is being treated like that.

I'd love to have Superman in my newspaper, even though I don't really read them

Pretty good!

It's safe to say at this point that George Mann is one of my favorite Star Wars authors! Everything he writes becomes a fun, fast-paced, emotional, and very enjoyable read, and this was no exception. I liked seeing Ty again and having her act as the narrator of the story, one with horror undertones, specifically Alien, that is combine in a small adventure on the edge of the frontier.

Likewise, I liked the group of characters introduced (and the previous one). I remembered Rok from Quest, but he hadn't been as prominent a character as he was here, and I liked that his brave attitude, adventurous side were explored in more depth, as well as his relationship with Coron, who becomes his apprentice. Pako was also surprisingly interesting; I liked his interaction with the crew and the villains, the Path, who seem to be collecting more Nameless eggs. We'll see how that turns out.

I also really liked the clean art style.

Overall, a great Phase 2 story, which continues to show me what a goldmine a Pathfinder TV series would be.

Damn, I loved the game! I wasn't very familiar with RPGs, but wow, what a joy it was to finally finish it for the first time. It definitely has replayability aspects that I'll take into consideration for future playthroughs (it sucks that the system doesn't let me continue wandering between systems and do my remaining secondary missions once Saren is defeated :( ). I don't think I even got to try out if I could start a relationship with someone!

I love getting lost between planets, meeting different species, and using new resources. As a Trekkie, it's everything I could want in a Star Trek game. As for the story, I enjoyed it! I found it quite interesting, similar to Babylon 5 or Halo in some aspects, with politics playing a central role and diplomacy being a tool in (some) secondary missions. It is quite well defined as a universe and I like how unique it feels.

Overall, a great experience for a game I knew little about, and which not only impressed me, but made me fall in love with its universe.

Pretty good for how short it is! Claudia Gray never disappoints, not even in a comic of just 35 pages.

I like how quickly and dynamically the setting and conflict are presented, the characters (Vim and Vix are too similar in names hehe), their dynamic, and the connection it makes with the rest of the period and, specifically, with Phase 2. I also liked the art style; it's very vibrant and beautiful.

My only complaint is that, as I said, it's too short! This could easily have been a 3- or 4-issue miniseries, dedicated to exploring Angcord, the master and his padawan relationship, or the power of the gem, but I won't say I wasn't satisfied.

In general, a solid addition to the High Republic storyline.

It was okay for the most part.

I was kind of interested in what they would do with the Jedha storyline, leaving the previous volume's cliffhanger at its peak. The result? Mmmm

While it makes sense that the conflict would be more of a background element and that the plot, once it's finished with Jedha, would move on to continue in Takodana, I can't help but feel slightly disappointed with its integration. It feels too separate and vaguely connected, barely influencing the chaos unfolding on the city. This wouldn't be a problem if the central conflict of the comic were explored more deeply, but it too remains simplistic and is resolved very quickly.

Another thing I personally disliked was that two issues were drawn by Harvey Tolibao. I personally don't like his art style, preferring Toni Bruno's.

It wasn't all bad, though. Sav remains a very charismatic character, I enjoyed the small moments she shares with Saya, and the love story between the pirate hunter and Alak—for what little we see of them—is sweet.

Overall, this second part is still a quick read, and as a complete run, it's a fun story for kids about Maz. But unfortunately, of what I've read of Jedha and Phase II so far, it's not exactly my favorite story.

What a great conclusion!

Having read/heard the Battle of Jedha, I won't deny that I was slightly disappointed by the small role the Path of the Open Hand ended up playing. My desire for a story within that conflict that addressed the cult's actions was completely fulfilled with the second part of this story! The Mother's actions and the absence of the Herald and Yana now make much more sense. Cavan Scott really stays close to the characters we know from Path of Deceit, offering a great glimpse into their machinations and drawing a clearer line on their motivations and further actions.

Similarly, I loved seeing a more concrete look at Vildar, his fear of spiraling out of control due to his trauma, and the rivalry and eventual friendship he develops with Tey. It's great that he managed to do the right thing, and the moment when Vil gives him a second chance is very sweet. He still seems like a D&D character to me, but a very funny one. I also liked the active role of the Enlightenment bar and Kradon. He reminds me of a Quark from DS9.

Perhaps the only thing that could have been improved is that the art in small moments looks uneven, resulting in unintentionally funny expressions for serious times.

Overall, this story was a great follow-up to what the first volume promised, perfectly complementing the audio drama's story and leaving me just as satisfied!

I've beaten the N64 Starfox several times, why are you so difficult!? Come on!

A un joven de un clan alienígena lo mandan a una especie de ritual para demostrarle a los suyos que vale, recibe ayuda de un forastero que lo apoya y con el que termina formando una amistad, aprende sobre la empatía y mata al mayor de su clan, que es el verdadero villano. Maldita sea, ahora quiero ver un vs entre una Unas y una Yautja.

Aparte de eso, ¡qué gran episodio! Me hizo enamorarme de las Unas y de Chaka (logra transmitir un montón sin decir una sola palabra, y me gusta su “amistad” con Daniel). Una pena que Rothman haya muerto; apenas estaba empezando a caerle bien. Esta temporada mejoró muchísimo en calidad; no hubo ni un solo episodio malo!

I can't stop seeing them everywhere!

I loved it!

This is my second Star Wars audio drama, and I truly love how every technical aspect has been maintained. The voices, the effects, the voice editing—they all manage to vividly evoke each scene, instantly drawing you in!

On the story part, it definitely doesn't disappoint. Having been presented as the big event of this phase, I'd already been getting some hints of what would happen in other media, and I'm very satisfied with the final result. A battle as breathtaking as it is destructive, a conflict with multiple perspectives, brilliantly developed by its protagonists. Silandra had already captured my attention in Quest, but this is where she's best explored. I like her detective storyline with Keth, with whom she shares a dynamic that's both fun and emotional in the final stretch. I appreciate how much Sun tries to maintain peace between Eiram and E'ronoh and, following up on Convergence, emphasizes that the price of war is endless until you decide that those willing to pay it will not win, shouldn't win. As Nemik would say: Remember this. Try.

Perhaps my only issue is that I would have liked the Path to have played a more prominent role in the battle, especially when freeing the Leveler in the streets of Jedha. We only see a little of that, and it left me wanting more! I'll check out the supplementary material to see if this is developed further.

In conclusion, this was a fantastic story, a tale about the wounds of the past and forgiveness as the last best hope. Highly recommended!!

I still like them as a concept, since they're what got me really interested in the show during the second season; the Jolinar and Carter's arc, along with his father, is pretty great, but god, they're such jerks. Even before it was revealed that they knew about the possible spy among them, that attitude of "we will only reveal the information that we deem convenient to you" drives me crazy.

Now I understand better why they get angry when someone compared them to the Goa'uld. They may have different goals, but they're almost equally machiavellian and manipulative.

IDW Publishing have just announced a sequel to their Holo-Ween series, with the DS9 crew set for a spooktacular holodeck adventure this time!

It will be written by Alex Segura, with art by Bailie Rosenlund. Issue #1 goes on sale Oct 7.

Mmm, Spirk

I think it was pretty ok.

I liked how the novelization generally covers the film's story, with some modifications and expansions that are truly delightful (a flashback of Mr. Mitchell and his job as pilot test, Goose and Maverick on a motorcycle heading to Top Gun, Charlotte talking to Maverick in the hospital, etc.). Some of these scenes manage to maintain the fun spirit of the film and I like how they are described. In the same way, the pacing never feels slow, and the story moves dynamically almost all the time; you can definitely devoured the book in a few days or just one with a few hours.

My only issues with this one are that, despite the expansions it makes to the story and Maverick as a character, I felt that when describing the dogfight/action scenes, the author didn't add much excitement. They're repetitive, sometimes overly descriptive in minor details (like the technical elements of a MiG), and generally go by too quickly, barely giving you time to enjoy what's happening. It's a shame, because the author could have used those scenes to get creative and reinterpret some ones. Also, I was disappointed by how little Iceman appears! He barely has scenes or moments with Pete, which makes their rivalry feel less intense and their resolution and subsequent friendship less satisfying.

Overall, I think it's a novel that works for the most part, adding interesting elements to the story that I enjoyed. While I wouldn't recommend it as a novel (the film simply does a better job of telling the same story), I think Top Gun fans will find it interesting to read and appreciate the extra details.
