Star Wars The Clone Wars: I would imagine it’s been an interesting experience for you being introduced to Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian, thus far her last chronological appearance in Star Wars and now starting The Clone Wars and seeing how her story all began. Would you say Ahsoka’s story and just everything that happens to her in between Clone Wars and The Mandalorian is one of the plotlines of The Clone Wars you’re most interested in? Question 2: So there’s a theory amongst certain parts of the fandom regarding the, shall we say clumsiness and comedic nature of the battle droids. The overall idea is that Darth Sidious ordered Count Dooku to have the droids programmed in such a way so that battles and by extension the war itself would be dragged out longer, and in certain cases, to make the battles more one sided to the benefit of the Republic so that they will gain control of certain systems that will therefore provide a more favorable advantage to Sidious in the long run. There’s also the thought that it’s likewise a relatively elaborate middle finger from Sidious to the Jedi saying essentially something to the effect of, “These insignificant machines are so puny, pathetic, and pitiful and yet you still cannot stop me!” Might these be ideas that you would agree with or just in general what do you make of these theories? The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Or is it Captain America and the Winter Soldier?): Question 1: I love that they brought back Baron Zemo as he is one of my top ten favorite characters of the MCU and his role on this show has increased my opinion of him by a considerable degree. How would you say you feel about Zemo in general, his goals and motivations, and Daniel Brühl's performance as Zemo? Question 2: Given how the show presents Karli and by extension the Flag Samshers as characters whose actions and/or methods you may not agree with, but you can still understand where they’re coming from in regards to their goals and motivations, where would you say you stand regarding your feelings towards Karli and the Flag Smashers? Question 3: Whilst it was very frustrating that Sam did not immediately become Captain America following Endgame, I have to admit, Sam’s journey on this show was, I felt one of the best arcs in the MCU and based on your reactions, you very much agree or at least hold a very similar opinion. Could you expand on your feelings on the matter? I’m particularly interested in knowing, what did you feel were some of the highlights, the really stand out moments of the arc that made it the rewarding experience that it was? Superman II: Question 1: Compared to the first film, Superman II as directed by Richard Lester, which is the version you saw, is far more comedic in nature; especially when compared to Richard Donner’s cut of Superman II which is tonally more along the lines of Donner’s work in the first film. How would you sum up your opinions as to the tonal difference of the first film when compared to the Lester cut of Superman II? Question 2: As to the Richard Donner cut of Superman II, would you be interested in seeing that version of the film in your off time? There is a little bit more of Lex, Otis, and Miss Teschmacher in that version. Not terribly much more, but there is more.

I have a question about the nature of the relationship between Liz and the Brigadier. I know you’ve commented a few times on how much you enjoyed the back-and-forth between them, but I wonder… Do you think there could have been something more to it? Back in January, in preparation for your reactions, I re-watched Silurians, Ambassadors and Inferno for the first time in a few years. And watching them all in short order I began to feel that maybe there was something going on between the two characters. I have no idea whether it might have been intentional production-wise, or something the actors came up with, or even just purely the product of my over-active imagination… But I really think it’s there, just in little hints. For example: look how concerned she is around him when he comes back from almost dying in the caves in Silurians. Then at the end of that story being so quick to defend him when he blows up the caves – insisting that he *must* have had orders from London to do it. At the start of Ambassadors, rolling her eyes at the Doctor when he mentions it again, when surely she’d be likelier to be on the Doctor’s side of that argument usually? And later in Ambassadors, how worried she is when Reegan says he’s killed some UNIT personnel and she desperately asks if he means the Brigadier. There’s a telling little bit in Inferno, too, in one of the very few scenes they have through the season alone together without anyone else present, when the Brigadier calls her “Liz” rather than his normal, more formal “Miss Shaw”… I know these all seem like small things, but now I’ve been bitten by this bug, I just can’t shake it. Plus, might an unsustainable relationship coming to an end be one of the reasons why Liz decided to quit UNIT and go back to Cambridge? So, basically, my question boils down to – do you think it could be possible that Alistair and Liz were having an affair?

Classic Who Here’s a long awaited fashion question for you; Outfits – between Seasons 7 & 8 a lot of the costumes have been revamped. The Brigadier and the other UNIT officers have traded in their beige jumpsuits for more standard Karki (green) British Army type uniforms. The Doctor’s also changed his black velvet smocking jacket from last season for a more striking red one, your thoughts on these changers? Do you have a preference?

First of all, Happy Birthday!! Also, I saw you didn’t get any questions for TWD of Vikings last month, but I thought they still deserved some discussion, so I’ve included some here if that’s cool 😊 I know it just makes my post super long but I guess that’s just me, my bad haha. Falcon and Winter Soldier: 1) What did you make of Bucky’s arc in this season in trying to find himself once Steve is no longer in his life. The last (and only) time Steve wasn’t by his side was when he was Hydra’s assassin for decades, and at the start of this season he seemed very worried he’d lose himself again without that rock. What did you think of his growing as a character in his own right in these final episodes, and how Sam and Zemo helped him to get there? 2) What’s your final verdict on John Walker? I think he was much more of a media/govt pawn than Steve ever was, but I think he always wanted to have good intentions. What did you think about the idea of how he pointed out he was “their” (the government’s) ‘Captain America’ that they created? I don’t have too much experience with veterans, so maybe you could shed some thoughts, but I felt like there was also a lot of important commentary on how some veterans feel left behind by their peers once they return to their country, and in general I thought there was a lot of veteran commentary around Walker’s character. Where did your thoughts on Walker end up at the end of the day? 3) I know some people wanted some cameo by an old-man Steve in this series, but personally I love how the story focuses on all these characters that are left in his wake. Sam, Bucky, John, Sharon, etc. What did you make of how Steve's legacy was shown throughout the season and how it affected all these characters? 4) After WandaVision having a big focus on grief, and now FatWS tackling themes of racism, nationalism, identity, etc – what do you make of how these Disney+ shows are able to expand on a story with these “smaller” side-characters in ways that aren’t just more expanded than they would be in a movie, but more personal and intimate than we’ve ever seen in the MCU so far. Vikings: 6x17-20 1) I know you were never too fond of Harold, but speaking as someone who slightly liked the guy in S4-5, even I thought the Ingrid scene in 6x10 was unnecessary. But I’ll admit he kinda started to win me back in his last few episodes, and I thought his death with Half-dan was a really nice way to close that chapter. How did you feel about his journey through the show and this season? 2) I loved the reintroduction of Alfred and the show going back to its roots. With Alfred and Ivar both weakened by the end (Alfred with his sickness, Ivar with his brittle bones), it made me feel as though their fathers were reaching out to warn them against fighting. How did you feel about the show going full circle -- Ivar's story concluding in Wessex where Ragnar first took him, and Alfred's final battle against the Vikings – and seeing the show putting a focus on those two in its final hour? 3) Ivar came a long way in these 20 episodes of season 6. It’s been a rocky road with him, but how did you feel about his character by the end, how he went out, and the legacy he left behind? 4) Honestly I thought the storyline in Kattagat was a weak addition to an otherwise really interesting season. It was probably mainly just Erik's character who bothered me (I didn’t like how he devolved into this sleazy, power-hungry guy), but also having the series mains - Gunnhild, Harold, Ivar, Hvitserk, etc - all leaving Kattegat made it feel less important with everything else going on. Maybe that’s just me, I still liked Ingrid. At the same time, part of me liked seeing the legacy of Kattegat continue, with the collective of the remaining Vikings inhabiting it. What did you think of this storyline and the way it developed, both with Ingrid and her rise to power, and with seeing how the story of Kattegat and its people concluded? 5) Floki. Finally. What was it like for you to get to see the character one last time, and what did you think of where his character ended up - in terms of having closure and being more at peace? Also how do you feel about how long they kept him away from us? In a way, the wait made it more rewarding (your reaction was definitely worth it) but, also, I obviously would've loved to have him all season long. Thoughts? 7) What did you make of decision to end the show with the discovery of this ‘New World’? With Ubbe being the son to discover it (the son most like Ragnar, especially in terms of adventure/travel), and finishing this story with Floki back? I’ll say it was definitely nice that Ubbe, Torvi, and Floki all got a ‘happy ending’. The Walking Dead 10C: 1) Obviously Daryl had a rough upbringing, and I think his relationship with rick really helped to soften him and make him feel more belonging. Once Rick left, it really seemed like Daryl shut down in a lot of ways. But his more vulnerable side showed again when he met both Leah and then Connie. Unfortunately, they’re both gone from him now too, and he took some of that out on Carol. How do you think his relationship with Leah helped or hurt the way Daryl is feeling within the group now, and where he feels he belongs? 2) Where do you think Carol’s character lies now after feeling like she’s disappointed the closest person to her, and how she’s still struggling to fit back into society after not only Henry, but also what she did with Negan? I feel like both Daryl and Carol are quite self-defeating and silent, and seem desperate to isolate themselves from everyone and run away, but do you think that would really solve anything if so? What do you think is best for these characters psyches next? 3) I know no-one’s forgotten the events of 7x01, but how does Maggie’s return affect Negan’s ‘rehabilitation’ into the group to you? Potentially, some newer members of Alexandria who weren’t there could be likely to look past his actions, but to have Maggie there now feels particularly tense. Do you think Maggie could or should ever forgive him? 4) Where do you think Negan’s perspective is within the group after that final scene and smirk on his face. Do you think he’s had a moment of acceptance, for better or worse? What do you make of the choice to show his flashback now at this point in his story/journey? And where does Negan lie for you currently? Supernatural: 3x07-3x11 1) How do you think Sam killing Gordon affected him? I know his killing of Jake in the S2 finale resembled a certain loss of innocence, but that violence persisting through his decapitation of Gordon always shocked me even more. Where do you think Sam’s mentality currently is in regard to killing (especially compared to where he was at the beginning of the show) and how much his current anxieties around Dean are playing into his psyche? 2) I love how much you get the boys. The Christmas episode is a personal favourite just because of how deep it delves into their bond. In young Dean trying to protect Sam by hiding the truth of hunting from him, do you think young Sammy might have ironically felt more isolated/alienated from the family? 3) Following on that point, another thing that episode does perfectly is mirroring the youthful brotherly moments with the present day, showing how much they’ve been able to successfully reconnect in the past two and half seasons. Do you think it’s harder for Sam to accept Dean’s looming demon deal because of how he’s only just recently been able to connect with his brother properly? 4) Where are you standing on Ruby at this stage of the season? I love the chaos and confusion she brings whenever she shows up. Do you think there’s reason enough to trust her or do you think it would be best to try and drop her? And do you think Sam is only looking to her since she’s potentially a person he can depend on after Dean is gone? 5) It’s heart-breaking to see how little Dean thinks of himself in his dreams. We know he always cares about saving people because we see he constantly puts their lives before his own. But it's sad he only thinks of himself as nothing more than a brute. Obviously Dean has been a lot more accepting of his deal than Sam is, do you think some of Dean was just looking for a reason or excuse to die? Sad as that is to say
