Definitely remember watching Lexx, but not sure I ever got around to watching Sliders now that I think of it. Thanks for the reminder that it existed.

Sliders was ok but not great.

I didn’t mind the Kromagg arc.

They had an episode that predicted Covid.

Counterpart also had a Covid arc

## A Lamentation: "The Empire Strikes Back"

### A Symphony of Desolation

"The Empire Strikes Back"—a title that promises grandeur, yet delivers a symphony of desolation. Allow me to wield my lexicon like a Sith Lord's crimson lightsaber as we traverse the treacherous terrain of this cinematic endeavor.

1. Narrative Dissonance:
- The film opens with the Rebel Alliance on the run, their optimism crushed like a discarded protocol droid. Yet, instead of embracing this grim reality, we are subjected to quips and banter. The juxtaposition is jarring, akin to a funeral dirge interrupted by a kazoo solo.
- Torment sets in as we witness our beloved heroes—Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia—struggle against the relentless Empire. Their pain echoes through the corridors of Cloud City, where betrayal hangs thicker than Bespin's gas.

2. Character Arcs in Peril:
- Luke, our once wide-eyed farm boy, now grapples with existential dread. His Jedi training under Yoda feels like a fever dream—a montage of levitating rocks and cryptic riddles. Alas, his growth is stunted, like a bonsai tree yearning for the forest.
- Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, becomes a mere plot device. His fate dangles like a Damoclean sword, and we ache for his return. But alas, the narrative twists, leaving us with more questions than answers.

3. The Vader Enigma:
- Darth Vader, the dark enigma, should be our lodestar. Yet, his revelation as Luke's father lands with all the impact of a deflated balloon. The Force chills our spine, but the emotional payoff is akin to a malfunctioning hyperdrive.
- The iconic line—"No, I am your father"—should have seared our souls. Instead, it fizzles like a damp firework, leaving us yearning for the raw anguish that should accompany such a revelation.

4. Romantic Tumult:
- Leia's heart wavers between Han and Luke, like a malfunctioning droid caught in a love triangle. The tension should crackle like a lightsaber duel, but it fizzles like a faulty fusion reactor.
- Han's "I know" should have been a declaration etched in the stars. Instead, it lands like a half-hearted apology from a droid with faulty memory circuits.

### The Abyss Beckons

In the icy caverns of Dagobah, Yoda imparts wisdom, but it falls on deaf ears. We, too, yearn for enlightenment, but find only murky depths. The film's pacing—like a wounded AT-AT—lurches forward, leaving us disoriented and gasping for coherence.

And then, the pièce de résistance: the cliffhanger ending. Our heroes scattered, hope extinguished, and the Empire ascendant. We are left hanging like a Womp rat caught in a snare, tormented by the knowledge that resolution lies in another film, another era.

"The Empire Strikes Back" is a paradox—an opulent tapestry woven with threads of torment. Its darkness, once intriguing, now feels like a black hole devouring our enthusiasm. We emerge, battered and bruised, questioning our loyalty to this galaxy far, far away.

In conclusion, dear cinephiles, if you seek solace, look elsewhere. For this sequel, like a Sith apprentice, has betrayed our trust. The Force may be strong, but so is our disappointment.

May the next installment rekindle our hope, lest we drown in the void of cinematic despair.

1.5/10

are you really dissing the empire strikes back?

Same rule applies for not saying Bloody Mary in a mirror 3 times.

Don't tag him, not even once.

Just because they probed your bottom, doesn't make them aliens.

Sliders was good...until they finally got to the right earth and someone had oiled the front gate

I'm hoping we have a big one for our good friend Raveneyes who does something that no other Warrior has ever done before , however I fully expect the world to come to an end when the sporting streams cross.

I have really low expectations for this game sp I am fully prepared to be even more disappointed.

Raveneyes I hope against all hopes that we'll be dancing
