Clone Wars Season 7 Ep 6 "Deal No Deal" Review

Like I speculated last time Ahsoka wasn't going to leave Trace and Rafa just yet but I didn't expect

them to go to space let alone Kessel. This episode showcases some good relationship building

between Ahsoka and the sisters. Ahsoka and Trace bonded over their shared knowledge of ships,

with Trace sprinkling in some backstory for her and her sister. Rafa and Ahsoka on the other hand

clashed throughout the episode due to Rafa's mistrust of anyone but her sister. Ahsoka really played

into the sister dynamic and became like a third sister in a sense. This really made the episode very

enjoyable despite the lack of action. The tension built up between the three characters while deciding

on how to handle the spice was the biggest moment that really made me feel that Ahsoka fit in as the

goody two shoes sister, with Rafa being the bad influence and Trace being the naive little sister.

Deal No Deal – World Building, Expectations, Surprises – Star Wars ...


This episode also gave us some more world-building by showing a different side of Kessel that isn't

destroyed by spice mining and giving us some context to the darker side of the Republic. Overall,

I really enjoyed the sister dynamic of Ahsoka, Rafa, and Trace which I think is the best writing

we had this season so far. The extra world-building and getting to see a fauna filled area of Kessel

was a great addition to this episode. In terms of enjoyment despite the lack of action, I would actually

give this episode 9 out of 10. We will get to see a lot of action next episode with the cliff hanger of

our party of three being surrounded by the Pikes after double-crossing them. I look forward

to the character moments, we will see from Ahsoka and the sisters while in this life and death

situation.

Glitch Techs Review

Glitch Techs a Netflix original animated show created by Nickelodeon is a love letter to gaming. It is a show about two teenagers named Five and Miko who are hardcore gamers that get recruited to a Men In Black like-organization that fight against game glitches instead of aliens. Like MIB, they have cool gadgets including the ability to mind wipe people which is straight up from MIB, not to say its a bad thing, in fact, it totally works with the premise of the show. Initially going into this show I thought that it would be more gear towards kids, but although it does appeal to kids there are a lot of things such as references that people who grew up playing games in the 80s & 90s would appreciate that kids now wouldn't know about it. For instance, one episode is entirely dedicated to Castlevania and throughout the series there is chock-full of references to all types of games not just Castlevania such as Dragonquest, Pokemon and Metal Gear Solid. The writing i...

Glitch Techs Season 2 Review

Glitch Techs is awesome and I couldn't praise it enough. If you haven't watched the series yet, go watch  it now. Regardless, before you read any further, spoilers await you if you haven't watched season 2 of  Glitch Techs. Season 2 of Glitch Techs is an improvement in all aspects besides the environments and   diversity of settings, this is disappointing considering that the first season had the most amazing  game inspired environments such as the Castlevania dungeon and Dragon Quest inspired location.  Besides that the animation is cleaner, the writing is better and more character-focused. This season gave a lot of development to Five, Miko, Mitch Williams, and Phil. It also introduced a new character that is fairly important in terms of fleshing out the world of Glitch Techs. This character is an illegal  modder named Ridley who introduces the concept of hacking Hanobi tech and creating their own  glitches which will surely be important for fut...

Kipo Season 2 Review

Image
Wow, Kipo season 2 really took what was great about its first season and took it up a couple of notches, making an even greater season than it's first. Season one took it's time world-building and introducing us to our main cast of characters. It also most importantly set up questions that would be ultimately be answered in season 2. One of the best parts of season 2 was the payoffs to the questions set up by the first season. From Kipo's powers to Kipo's mother to Scarlemagne's relationship with Kipo's parents and much more. Not only did we get big payoffs to a lot of questions but we also got huge payoffs in terms of character arcs. Kipo's arc this season is very derivative of the chosen one stereotype where the main character has learned to control her powers in order to save everyone but has to overcome mental barriers to do so. This in itself is very common in coming of age stories but the way that Kipo's arc is tied to learning he...
