Rebels: Question 1: You’ve mentioned that you’d likely settle on a favorite of the Shady Bunch by the end of the first season. I don’t think, though perhaps I am wrong, that you conclusively named a favorite, though I know Hera was definitely in the running. If I'm wrong, I do apologize for my memory failing me. What would the final verdict be in terms of your favorite character of the Shady Bunch? Question 2: The Grand Inquisitor is one of the Star Wars characters to have been portrayed by more than one actor. How would you compare the performance of Jason Issacs as the Grand Inquisitor in Rebels versus the performance of Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor in Obi-Wan? Question 3: Grand Moff Tarkin proves himself a most menacing villain, particularly for how he darkens the mood in this “Kids’ show” as soon as he arrives. Any further thoughts you have on the portrayal of Tarkin and how they don’t lighten him up for the show? The Mandalorian: Question 1: The Jack Black/Lizzo/Christopher Lloyd episode was harshly criticized by vocal sections of the fandom. You and I are two that had a blast with it, and I was just tickled pink that I had a blast of a time on my birthday with the episode. Any further comments on the enjoyability of the episode? Question 2: A humorous moment Christopher Lloyd had as Commissioner Helgait had was his describing Count Dooku as a visionary cut down in his prime. One, your thoughts on how this image of Dooku has endured thirty years following his death and the end of the Clone Wars? Second, the whole “cut down in his prime” comment begs the question of what the average life expectancy of people in the Star Wars universe is, as Dooku was eighty-three when he was murdered. Would you say that the line indicates a particularly long-life expectancy in the Star Wars universe, or do you feel it’s just a humorous line that fans are reading way too much into? Question 3: I nerded out so much over the Shadow Council. You mentioned liking how their council paralleled the rebels in Andor, would you care to comment more about that, especially how they all had the different plans such as Moff Gideon’s devious plans, the plan to await, as was described, the imminent return of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the most unnatural sounding plan, Project Necromancer? Question 4: It certainly appears that Moff Gideon is dead, yet I'm skeptical about that. Reason being Star Wars keeps giving their villains memorable death scenes, only problem is that despite those deaths, the villains keep returning, somehow. Would you say you’re on the side of Moff Gideon being dead, and even if so, do you think we could still theoretically see Giancarlo return to the role through any clones he made that were off world? Supernatural: Any further thoughts on the final stretch of Bobby’s arc in the seventh season, particularly, one how you noted, his becoming a vengeful spirit shows even someone as strong as him could succumb, and two, heartbreaking though it is to lose Bobby again, there is the small solace that he’s able to bid a more proper farewell to his boys, and how Sam and Dean are in a way able to say good bye to their dad? Kill Bill Volume One: Question 1: You noted quite liking how Vernita’s daughter is witness to her mother’s death at the Bride’s hands and how the Bride freely admits that the girl has every right to wish to pursue her own revenge years down the line. Any further thoughts on that scene, and how likely do you think it is that Vernita’s daughter would seek her own revenge against the Bride? Question 2: O-Ren Ishii emerges as one of the more popular of the villainous characters of both the Kill Bill films and Tarantino’s filmography. You quite enjoyed the character yourself as I recall, any further comments on the character? Related to that, it’s implied that the Bride and O-Ren were friends, or at least the Bride had a closer relationship with O-Ren than she did with Vernita, Budd, and Elle, showcased by the Bride being visibly shaken after killing O-Ren. Your thoughts on how the film conveys the past friendship/strong comradery without being terribly overt about it? Question 3: The major action sequence goes black-and-white for an extended period. Overseas presentations of the film have the whole sequence in color leading some fans to wish that to be the default version of the film presented round the world. I personally like the black-and-white part as it felt very artistic. Would you say you’d have a preference either way, or no? Spider-Man Spring: Question 1: Something you’ve observed with the films altogether is that the villains are tragic figures, and that they are just as much victim as much as they are villain. The primary exceptions to this being Topher Grace’s Venom and Mysterio. Anything further you wish to say about the films present these villainous characters who are as sympathetic and tragic as they are? Question 2: Uncle Ben and especially Aunt May emerge as favorites of yours. Do you have a favorite portrayal of the characters, or do you not wish to choose? Related to that, any thoughts you have on we never have seen Uncle Ben in the MCU as it’s established that he died sometime prior to Civil War? Top Gun: Question 1: In rewatching this with you, it’s reaffirmed that one of the biggest problems I've always had with this film were as I call it, the over-the-top male macho bullshit, especially when everyone is forcing Maverick to fly again after Goose dies, and they’re just blithely dismissing his trauma by saying, “It wasn’t your fault, suck it up, get over it.” Anything more you care to comment on the toxic pressure that’s put upon Maverick to get him to get back in the saddle before he’s properly processed his grief and trauma? Question 2: The romance subplot, likewise, was a bone of contention for how it reads like a PR nightmare waiting to happen, especially the bit of Maverick following Charlie into the women’s restroom which made me blow a gasket seeing that part of the film, and I still don’t understand how anyone thought that was kosher even in 1986. What’s any further thoughts you would have on the romance subplot, how it’s borderline harassment, and ultimately how you could cut it from the film entirely and not lose all that much? Star Trek/Star Trek The Motionless Picture: Question 1: The episode Turnabout Intruder is massively controversial what with the plot point of “Women being Captains of a starship!? Bwah!! Preposterous!!” so much so that every subsequent piece of Star Trek material essentially pretends the episode never happened, and even the fans attempt to recontextualize the episode in attempts to, I guess you could say erase the misogyny. What’s your thoughts on response to the episode is universally in agreement that it should never have happened? Now if you say you’ve seen or heard any opinions from people defending the episode, or at least the misogynistic aspects, one I'm sorry about that, two, in my experience such opinions would be in the minority. Question 2: The look Bones had in his first scene of the Motionless Picture, especially the MAGNIFICENT beard he sported, where approximately would you rank it in terms of iconic Star Trek looks? Would you rank it at or around the same level as Spock rocking his mighty sharp beanie and peacoat ensemble, slightly above that, or slightly below that? Question 3: The plodding and sluggish nature of the Motionless Picture notwithstanding, a highlight of the film is seeing the cast step back into playing the crew in live-action and seeing them get back in the saddle. Any comments you have on how the cast did in stepping back into the roles in live action for the first time in a decade?

Classic Who: Now you've made it to The Invisible Enemy I can finally ask you this burning question. Who would you prefer as the robot companion; K9 or D84?

In Rebels episode 7: how cool was the Sabine/Hera teamup? What more would you have liked to see in an episode focusing on the two of them?
