Is he a noble warrior, a nutjob, a misguided fool...he seems to waiver between all of these.<BR/><BR/>Also it's about expectation. When I knew the Jarjar episode was coming up I lowered my expectations but after the strong Ventress episode I raised the bar for the Grievous one.Dave Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559566820858300684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324087685026014374.post-80494276536626928002009-01-03T21:42:00.000-08:002009-01-03T21:42:00.000-08:00DW -I'll say that I see your point about introduci...DW -<BR/><BR/>I'll say that I see your point about introducing a character just to kill him off. They did the same thing with "Cut-Up" in Rookies, and I wasn't that big about his death. I guess I felt like Vebb was particularly well-realized, so I got a sense of him before he died.<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised you liked this one LEAST, though. Hm.<BR/><BR/>I did, though, revist my "Rookies" review. On your advice. ;)CloneWarsFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632969286971697094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324087685026014374.post-11456765205888659982009-01-03T14:39:00.000-08:002009-01-03T14:39:00.000-08:00Looks like I'm swimming against the tide as I real...Looks like I'm swimming against the tide as I really didn't like this episode at all. I thought it made all of the characters, both Jedi and Separatist appear weak.<BR/><BR/>For me this was the episode I least liked of all of them so far. I thought adding the inexperienced character to then just kill felt very cheap and ham-fisted.Dave Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559566820858300684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324087685026014374.post-89063558868292937032008-12-22T11:18:00.000-08:002008-12-22T11:18:00.000-08:00Yep. I absolutely loved this episode. I like the...Yep. I absolutely loved this episode. I like the idea of Grevious' lair, and the notion that he sort of made himself a monster. And it was nice to see a story in which being the rash, hotheaded novice has consequences, as opposed to that youthful gusto being the thing that saves the day.<BR/><BR/>My only quibble, to be that guy to quibble for a second, was the swishy droid butler. I tell you, someone at Lucasfilm seems to still think that the 80s idea of the fussy, gay complainer is the height of comedy. If they ever got to a British Panto, I think they would piss themselves laughing. But, of well, at least they didn't put makeup on the droid, so I suppose it is elevated slightly about Ziro-the-Hutt shtick. The rest of the episode, though, was solid. Looking forward to the show returning in JanuaryDavid D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04999455843501651328noreply@blogger.com
