    This is one hard to say. Dark is one of my favorite shows, but I do think the journey is better, the journey is kind of the process for the acceptance of the finale, so it does make sense.

    There is a mix of both throughout the show, especially in the Irene Adler The Woman episode. You already know she is behind a few criminal things from the start. There is also another case within that same episode where someone died next to a river, and one of the draws of the case is that Sherlock figured it out instantly, but doesn’t want to tell anyone what the answer is. It is slowly revealed in bits over the episode of what he figured out.

    I may give Columbo a shot since it’s an older show I have put off trying. And Monk has also been sitting on my list.

    Good question. Not sure why my brain went there. Generally speaking, growing up when someone used the term “in a row” they usually did mean consecutively. I can’t think of a time someone said 3 days in a row and they were not back to back days. Reading it now it does sound repetitive for me to have phrased it that way. Maybe my brain wanted to be specific for non English speakers? It was late at night.

    It’s honestly my favorite of the bunch. The Pitch Black /Riddick monster plot style dying one by one has never appealed to me in any genere. I loved the mystic sci-fi space world building that was going in Chronicles. Does it do it better than a movie like Dune? No, but this also came out a very long time ago.

    I’m a bit torn. While I think the overall first movie is better, as an adult… I very much connected to the inside story of the second one much more, as did most people I know that watched it.

    My larger worry about this cancellation is the potential graveyard they may have kicked off. Netflix has a lot of cancelled shows that no one will ever watch, it just dilutes their overall library. If even Star Wars isn’t immune to this, then I really do hope Disney wasn’t lying and we start seeing fewer streaming shows coming out. I think we’d all prefer quality over quantity.

    It depends on your level of attachment to certain Star Wars things. I showed my wife both Ahsoka and Andor, and she really liked Ahsoka (Having never watched anything related to the cartoons) more than Andor.

    Some fans of the cartoons felt the characterization of Ahsoka on the show was off. If you’re someone who goes along for the ride, you may enjoy it. If you’re the type of person that likes explanations, you may need to also watch the cartoon content (It helped my wife when I explained certain things as well). I watched the cartoons and had much appreciations for he characters and seeing how they finally came to life on the screen.

    Aside from that, there are also some questionable plot choices and pacing. But that can be said of many things, even outside of star wars.

    There are lists you can follow online for the relevant plot lines connected to The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. You don’t have to watch all of clone wars. You could potentially get away with not watching all of Rebels but that is a different type of show.

    It would depend on the actual file formats. For example I can import a live after effects file into premiere and all the updates I make will apear on premiere’s timeline, without needing to render out. The same goes for bringing photoshop or illustrator files into After Effects. I guess we’d just have to rely more on third party plugins that connect these programs like Overlord
