Hope Rides Alone

So, I slept on it. And then I waited two weeks. 

I'm glad I saw Rogue One. But overall I didn't like the movie.

I loved some of the scenes. I love the cast (with one exception). Riz Ahmed was especially lovely, I wish we'd had more of him. I'm happy they tried new things in the Star Wars world. And that CGI face reconstruction stuff was impressive.

I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade. From the looks of things, the entire world thinks this movie is amazing. If you liked it, that great! I just feel like I'm missing something here. I feel left out.

Does he only ever play slightly evil, geeky guys? I mean, The Guild Season 3, that episode of The Big Bang Theory, the awesometastic Leverage episode I just watched ... I'm sensing a trend here. I like this trend (on The Guild he wore a kilt! And he was evil! I didn't even know who he was at that point and I loved him!) but still: trend!

Yes, I know he was Wesley on Star Trek and there was some kerfuffle about all of that and people were horrible to him because of that and now he's awesome and writes geeky books, but I haven't gotten into Star Trek yet (yet ... it's inevitable, isn't it? As a geek, Thou Must!  .... But as a Star Wars fan doesn't that mean I can't watch Star Trek? Why do the two fandoms hate each other? I don't get it! *headdesk*) I'm a bit fuzzy about all of that.

Dunno why I posted this. Anyhoodle, work was nice, it's humid out today, tomorrow I start the workshop and I'm almost done with the MTT episode. (Huzzah! *collapses*)
