6 Thoughts on the First Season of Ahsoka (Review)
Another Star Wars TV show has come and gone and I was very excited for this one. Like everyone else in the fandom, I had no faith in Ahsoka Tano when she was first introduced as the kiddie character in a new Star Wars cartoon way back in the day. But she’s now one of my all-time favorite Star Wars characters, and I was very excited for her show. Now that it’s over…meh.
TV Show Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Ahsoka Tano is a very fun character and she’s had a great story. And I really like Rosario Dawson’s live action version. But the Ahsoka show was ultimately a bit of a disappointment in the end. I enjoyed the show for the most part and had high hopes, but I’m not overall happy with the final product. It’s well-made, well-acted, has some neat parts; but the first season didn’t really accomplish much, in my opinion.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of the first season of Ahsoka. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts and feelings in the comments below.

6 Answers I Need from Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati
The Ahsoka TV show is almost over and there’s only one thing I really care about: the secret history and potential futures of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. I haven’t seen last night’s episode yet, so maybe every question on this list has already been answered, but I wrote this list anyway. These characters are super damn cool.
I think everyone agrees that Baylan and Shin are the best part about the Ahsoka show. It’s a good show, it’s fine. But does anybody really care about Sabine getting back to Ezra? I watched all of Rebels, but I really, really don’t care. Should we really be all that concerned about Grand Admiral Thrawn when the sequels exist? No thank you. I want to know more about the super cool, super mysterious dark Force-users who have their own agenda and aren’t super predictable.
So join me after the jump for six questions I have about Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, even if they are super obvious questions.

The next season of Rick and Morty comes out next month, and with it new voices for the main characters. Original voice actor and co-creator Justin Roiland was revealed to be a super creep, so he’s out. They hired sound-alikes to do the voices of Rick and Morty and you can check out how well they do in this new trailer.
I think they’re fine. Sometimes you can’t tell there’s a difference, and sometimes you really can. I don’t think it’s going to bother me. I’ll definitely still watch and enjoy the new season. I’ve started watching Solar Opposites with the new voice, and it’s fine. We’ll all get through this.
Rick and Morty season 7 comes to Cartoon Network on Oct. 15.

New/Old Doctor Who Incoming!
There’s a new bunch of Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials coming up, and they will hopefully be good! I still haven’t watched the final season of Jodie Whittaker’s run, because those seasons weren’t as good. But David Tennant is back! And Catherine Tate, my favorite companion! I have no real opinion on Russell T. Davies. I prefer Steven Moffat, but that’s neither here nor there.
Check out this trailer for the Doctor Who specials! Nothing is really spoiled, other than the actors already announced as playing the Doctor.
Looks like a lot of fun! I really want to get caught up on that season I’ve missed and be back on board Doctor Who. The show will always be great. Just gotta find the time and energy to get caught up. If everything moves to Disney+, that will help, since not everybody has every streaming service.
I very much look forward to more Donna Noble! The three specials arrive on…wherever these things currently stream…in November.

There’s Gonna Be More Out Flag Means Death
Our Flag Means Death is a super fun pirate show, and one that evolved into a really fun pirate love story. And thankfully, we’re going to get a second season, and we’re going to get it soon! So good TV all around.
Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby are pretty damn perfect in this show, with a great supporting cast around them. The pirate stuff has also been really fun. They put the production into it. So if you’ve slept on this show already, give it a watch and get caught up, because it’s coming back!
Our Flag Means Death returns to Max on Oct. 5.
