The Mandalorian: Chapter 16: The Rescue (2020)
Season 2, Episode 8
10/10
Thank you
18 December 2020
I wasn't expecting this. I'm sure no one was expecting this. This episode is better than every single film / episode other than the original trilogy. Thank you Jon Favreau, thank you Dave Filoni. You are the real pros and fans who saved Star Wars.

Best biology animation TV series I've seen so far
7 November 2019
Starting directly with explaining evolution and birth, this animation sets his tone right. Informations are excellent, I remember watching it when I was little, and I still watch it now.

But, the approach this animation takes to the functionment to the body is somewhat old, a very french view of after WWII years, with lots of bureaucracy and surveillance. It's a dictatorial police government, with "lazy and idiot" workers, always urgent needs to complete, punk microbes. Very "1984".

cops not scrubs
13 July 2018
I've watched 6 episodes from the first season. For now it looks like a cheap remake of Scrubs. But it's edible, I hope it gets better.

Commodified fantasy
25 January 2018
Following the loss of Ursula K. Le Guin I think her point of view about commodified fantasy is excellent as a review for TLJ and Disney in general.

"Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their action to violence, their actors to dolls, and their truth-telling to sentimental platitude. Heroes brandish their swords, lasers, wands, as mechanically as combine harvesters, reaping profits. Profoundly disturbing moral choices are sanitized, made cute, made safe. The passionately conceived ideas of the great storytellers are copied, stereotyped, reduced to toys, molded in bright-colored plastic, advertised, sold, broken, junked, replaceable, interchangeable."

-Tales From Earthsea (Ursula K. Le Guin)
