    Flash Forward episode 10 actually aired already in Australia, so of course it's already all over the usual sites for people who are interested.

    It's pretty good... compared to the other FF episodes anyhow, but shit actually happens, and we get quite a few answers.

    So not to shabby overall.

    "(And am I the only person who spent the last episode waiting for a big lizard reveal, only to be thwarted? They even talked about skinning an alien just to tease us, the bastards)

    Seeing as how it was already revealed they were lizards, I wasn't disappointed.

    What I'm hoping for is that Anna is part of a mammoth warning plot where she has already turned against her whole race and wants to save earth, and that she'll reveal her real motives to the fifth column once the revealed BIG fleet is in range. I'm not holding my breath. It's probably going to be stupid.

    I'm not really intrigued by Alice. "NEW, MODERN, EDGY, OOOH!" if you want to be new, modern, and edgy, make something new, modern, and edgy.

    I really liked Tin Man but I am not so sure about Alice. On the other hand it was several actors I really enjoy watching.

    There's another scene in "A New Hope" that I'm sure that I've seen where C3PO gets trapped in the wall on the Corvette. (Very similar to the scene where the computer eats Annie Ross in Superman 3.) It's where he's coming from when he finds R2 and Leia in the corridor. It's in the book, so I'm pretty sure I'm not totally imagining it, but I swear I've seen it before.

    Those first two clips have been the bane of my existance. I knew they existed but every one always said they didn't and said that there was no way I could have seen them in a theatrical release because I wasn't around yet.

    I've seen that Jabba clip before and always with the preface that the human actor was just a stand in for an effects shot to be added later, Lucas never intended for Jabba to be depicted as human.

    @Bill-Lee: What's really strange is that when Marvel did their adaptation they had no clue what Jabba would look like, so they just used a face off one of the background monsters.

    @db4dbms: There was no CGI'ing stuff in in the 70's. There was no CGI as we know it at that point. I think that was the origional Jabba.

    The deleted scene from RotS made me sick. They just saw a colleague of theirs get brutally murdered in front of their eyes and Lucas has them immediately break into cheap visual jokes.

    @Pessimippopotamus: The "baseball" signs?

    I always thought it was a nice touch showing the years of partnership and all.

    It is admittedly though one of those things (like much of the PT) that was better conceived then executed.

    Why does Ten Forward look so small in that Nemesis clip? I realize that the Enterprise E was smaller in terms of crew compliment than D, but that looked no bigger than the retrofitted galley on Voyager.

    @EdificeComplex:
    It looked the same size because it was the same set, and it wasn't Ten Forward, it was just an officer's lounge. Ten Forward was the size it was because it served three times as many people, on a much larger ship.
