This post is a little bit late in the day (even more so considering the Season Finale aired yesterday) but if you'd seen the last couple of days... They weren't too bad actually, just an awful lot of work to fit into not very much day; just like most days actually ;o) I got there in the end though, just one more day until the weekend, so I thought I'd treat myself to a little time away from my monitor and watch the last episode of 'Kenobi'... On my laptop... (you know what I mean though!) There have been bits of 'Kenobi' that kept me coming back, week after week, but not many moments that had me hurrying back. That was the other reason this post is late, I had to stir myself to watch Episode Six. Watch it I did though and, damn... For the last time, for this series anyway, I'll warn you that I'm very like to head deep into spoiler territory. I'll also point you at theTor Post for a plot recap. Beware though, that's pretty damn spoilery as...

One more episode to go… It feels like this story has flown by and my opinion of it has changed pretty much every week; sometimes I love it and sometimes… not so much. Am I just getting all middle aged and cranky or is ‘Star Wars’ just becoming less ‘my thing’? Or is work just a bit too much, at the moment, and I’m too tired to really enjoy any TV at all? I suspect the answer lies somewhere in the middle but anyway… Here we are with the penultimate episode of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’, lets do it. Before we do though, here’s the regular paragraph where I warn you about spoilers (there may well be spoilers here) and point you in the direction of the Tor Review for the episode recap (because I’m not doing one here). If you’re still with me, lets talk some Episode Five shall we…? The more I think about it now, the ‘Star Wars’ shows on Disney have really sparked off a conflict in me between the kid who loved (still loves) cool space battles and the older me who is like, ‘that’s cool but what abo...

It has been a pretty heavy day but I finally found a little time to sit down and get caught up with 'Obi-Wan Kenobi', on time for a change ;o) We're just over the half way mark now (I think) and while the show has been pretty good overall, I did have a few doubts about last week's episode so was interested to see which way Episode Four would take us. As it turned out... I'll tell you in a minute ;o) Before I do though, here's the regular bit where I say that I'm not going to do a big recap of the plot, that's all taken care of by Tor . I may (and by may, I mean 'probably') get a bit spoilery though, just so you know. If you're still here, lets have a quick chat about 'Episode Four'. A 'quick' chat because while what it does isn't bad, there isn't that much of it... Leia is locked up in the Inquisitorial lair and it's on Ben and Tala to get her out. That's it, that's the whole episode. The outcome is neve...

I'm not sure what happened last week but I somehow managed to miss Episode Three and... Ok, I know exactly what happened ;o) The kids ran me ragged and I totally forgot it was on, probably chose to crawl into bed and sleep instead...And then I just completely forgot it had been on until I saw Facebook friends talking about it. I got there in the end though, it's a few days after everyone else but I watched it last night and I'm all caught up ;o) And now I get to tell you what I thought of it all... Two quick bits before I do though. Today is the first day back at work after a week off and I'll have my work cut out trying to get all caught up. This will be a short post then, sorry about that ;o) And as is the case with posts of this nature, I won't be recapping the plot... But you already knew that, didn't you? Either way, Tor.com have you covered if you haven't already seen Episode Three and want to find out what happened. And if you're still here, let...

Sorry, this post was meant to be up a lot earlier but I hit the 'perfect storm' of having to sort all my work out (I'm on leave next week) and having a big ol' hangover all at the same time. Not the best day to be me then (although I would absolutely do last night again, I don't regret it at all...) but I got there, eventually, and I've had a bit of time to get caught up with 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' as well. So... Here we are :o) Disney+ has got into a good routine of alternating between Marvel and Star Wars and it's given me loads of both for my money so I can't complain. I wasn't sure what to expect from 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' though... Before I started watching, it felt like one of those shows where you wonder what the point of it is. 'Old Ben' lived out beyond the Dune Sea and then Darth Vader kills him in 'A New Hope', do we really need to fill in that backstory? And then I watched it and realised that yes, we really need tha...
