You won't survive.  Your body can't take the pressure.

It was actually a perfectly decent episode.  Not fantastic, but serviceable.

I don't care for the character models (I understand the "they have to be stylized to avoid the uncanny valley" angle, I just happen to think the Master Jedi looks like fucking Princess Fiona) but the droids and ships look pretty damn good.  Voice acting's decent enough, and the writing was all right -- pretty much your classic Robin saves Batman plot, with a few good one-liners and some very pretty fight choreography.

I wouldn't watch the show on a regular basis (though I AM curious about the Sith assassin; I thought Anakin killed her in the last series), but I don't feel like I've wasted a half-hour, either.

Wasn't it one of those toss-the-villain-over-a-cliff deaths, though?

It's been a few years, but yeah, that sounds right.

Then there's the "How can she be Dooku's apprentice if Dooku is Sidious's apprentice and always two there are yadda yadda" angle.

So I know that the first three episodes of that stuff sucked as a movie, but I'm curious whether it holds up as a show, given a high tolerance for the creators ignoring their own continuity.

Don't take that literally. They tore it to hell and back between the Prequels and Force Unleashed.

The closest you can actually equate it to is "There's always two, master and apprentice. And you know, the apprentice of the apprentice training to help the apprentice kill the master and take his place. Sith are fucking stupid."

I always figured it came out funny due to Yoda's general lack of communication skills (he's vague even without the obtuse sentence structure), but he was really just trying to say "If you see a Sith who looks like he's still learning, then obviously somebody's teaching him."

Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

It turns out that El Tigre is actually a pretty great show. I was actually shocked, as I previously had the show pegged as some lame Fairly Odd Parents coattail refuse, only with Mexicans. Then Frida made a funny face and I was pretty well hooked at that point.

Months behind.

The amount of colorful detail and wit in humor they throw into that show is outstanding. The voice work is magnificent, the pacing is fantastic and the music makes me want to cheer.

So of course, it was canceled or limbo'd or something, capped off at one season and I can only see it at 11 PM on a Sunday.  ::(:

Curtain rises.  Brentai walks into a room in which there is a television, showing another fantastic episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Voice on Television: If you so much as breathe on one of these lasers, the whole room will explode!

Brentai stares dumbfoundedly at the television for a moment, then turns around and walks out.  Curtain falls.  Fin.
