Full Series Star Wars: The Clone Wars nominated for seven daytime Emmys

Wait... Hondo annoyed you that much!? I did not expect that.

I like Simon Pegg and I loved his work on the show. Nuff said.

I completely understand!

 

This is good news indeed. TCW better win an Emmy. It has to, especially coming off of its best season.

 

Just out of curiosity are you one of those EU fans that got pissed when TCW didn't hold very true to the EU. It seems those are mainly the people who are saying how bad TCW was.

 

Sorry hon but if it weren't true that a lot of people bashing TCW weren't pissed EU fans than that thread about Barriss Offee and Even Piell wouldn't have reached so many pages.

 

Great news!!!

 

So in your opinion things can't happen off-screen. Ahsoka can only make friends while the camera is on her? Sorry but it would be monumentally stupid to put Barriss in episodes just to prove that her and Ahsoka were becoming close friends. They already proved they were friends by the episodes they had early in the shows run and the development they talked about during that arc in season 5. No need to put in any more development than that. If people need more convincing than that well then you are just going to have to chalk it up to that there are always going to be a few people you won't satisfy no matter what you do.

 

Well Anakinfan if you need to be shown every little detail in order to buy into things than you probably would be unsatisfied with certain storylines (you probably would have liked it better if TCW was one of those serial dramas where the action from the current episode picked up where the previous one left off). Like people always say you can't please everyone but just concentrate on pleasing a lot of them. TCW did that and it was a very popular show and a very good show and it deserves the attention it is getting.

 

If TCW was a serial show than yes it should have been shown. But since it was not a serial show and lengthy amounts of time can take place inbetween each episode (infact most of the episodes only told the story of themselves while they were on missions) there isn't as great of need to put stuff like that in. Who Ahsoka was becoming buddy buddy with wasn't important enough to put into episodes. I like serial dramas. Infact I prefer them and was a little disappointed when TCW did not follow that design. But came to enjoy TCW on its own right as a standalone episodic format where periods of time can pass inbetween each episode and every episode isn't technically connected to each other.

 

We will just have to agree to disagree then because it is obvious you were one of the few that didn't like the directions TCW took and wouldn't have been satisfied with a lot of things they chose to do no matter what. That's ok though because people like you seemed to be in the minority and the majority did appreciate the show and thought it was done very well. And there were many standalone episodes through each season (most seasons only had one or two short arcs out of a twenty two episode season).

Maybe you should go watch some of those serials they have on television where everything that happens in the world is meant to be shown onscreen.

 

Nice attempt at trying to keep the debate going. No need to argue with you anyway as even you yourself aren't arguing that you are in the minority with how you feel about the show. You can't please everyone and you are one of those that can't be pleased so there is no need to worry about it. Have a good day.

 

If I were to root for TCW, I'd choose Witwer and/or Cummings for voice acting.

 

Really? Honestly I only saw him in "Harry Potter", so I can't tell.


Off topic but for the amusement (or not) of Dan_Grievous_Tikkes_Fan : Speaking of forgetting characters; without the preview clip I still would not remember who Trench is. And this time I'm serious.

 

YOU DO NOT REMEMBER TRENCH!? are we still playing or do you really not remember one of my fave villains from the show...

 

i didn't know you felt that way

 

True story this time. Though I remembered a spider-guy in a space battle episode I totally forgot that his name was Trench.

 

Gee, potential storylines being squandered in favor of the status quo? I've never heard any of that before. A character turning evil for a few episodes for the sole purpose of shock value and then dropped with the end of the arc? Never heard of that either *cough*Barriss*cough*.

Come on Dan, it might be my opinion, but you could lay off on the implications against me. From a production standpoint, as well as a focus, I have to say that I appreciate Transformers Prime more than TCW. Does it have as good visuals? No, but what that means is that they have been more conservative and well organized with what assets they can use. TCW has so many assets and visuals that it absolutely squanders, spending god knows how much money on pointless cameos and fanservice. It's wasteful, if you have a character model, bloody well use it. Don't go to all the effort of making a fantastically detailed Clone Commando model if all you will use it for is a fifteen second cameo and one action scene that lasts a minute and a half.

Less characters in Prime allows each autobot and Decepticon to shine in multiple episodes, and considering how most of the TF series have gone, this is in keeping with the style the shows go for: A galactic war being fought by a remaining handful of individuals that survived the cataclysm on their homeworld. It limits the show's scope, but that also allows more emphasis on character development and much stronger writing. Dialogue in particular is much snappier than in The Clone Wars.
