I completely understand Mike's point. Once you start messing around with established sewer grate density, you really can't trust anything else in the story's world
He straight out guessed correctly that they’d bring Boba Fett back for season 2. And Disney were so impressed they decided to add a whole Boba show on top of it.
You know what’s funny, in the scene where his head gets cut off and you see the helmet fly, you can see the shadow from his head flying out of the helmet off-screen. So when boba picks up the helmet it’s empty
@@gaminggoose2329 I was recently told that scene were you see the shadow of the head was added for the DVDs. The theatrical one was different and had no shadow. That explains why I spent 2 decades with the idea that Jango's head was stuck in a helmet.

@@nearlydead7510 it would make sense that carbon freezing itself is common but only prisons or bounty hunters typically use facilities designed specifically for humans, while most others are designed for hazardous materials containment or something.
In season 2 the blue guy says he still cant see from one of his eyes after the carbon freeze. So they did take into consideration the hazards of the carbon freeze.
I love that this show is just finally exploring the "Space Western" side of Star Wars. I mean it was always there. Right from day one. But over time... people seemed to forget about the part with blaster and rogues and bounty hunters and all that in favor of focusing solely on the 3 Foot Laser Compensator. Which... made sense in its evolution. But I do feel like this is the untapped potential of Star Wars to mine. And if all Star Wars really turns into is just a long running Mandalorian series at this point? I'd be happy with it. It's good, simple, episode of the day Space Western stuff.
I literally sang “ooooooooooooooh, you got a nasty reputation...” the first time we see the ship in space. My wife laughed so hard she cried. We had to pause to get the giggles out of our system. But every time after that when we would see his ship flying in space, we’d both say in Lord Helmet’s voice, “LONE STAR!”
I'm surprised Rich didn't see the parallel for when the Mandalorian flew with baby Yoda over his shoulder to when the Mandalorian himself was rescued as a kid by another Mandalorian who flew off carrying him much the same way. It was a pretty obvious tie-in that the creators of the show were trying to do.
@@mattrocde I think both. I can hear them debating whether it's good to have such a good show recycle old characters, when it was already standing on its own 2 feet. But I think they will also give credit on how well those old characters were handled.
@@yurtyybomb I don't know - none of them are Star Wars fans, and I'd be amazed if any of them even saw much of the old legends or current extended universe stuff relating to these characters. I could very much see them just being disgruntled that they were there at all - case and point, their reaction to Boba Fett being confirmed was incredibly demeaning to anybody who may have been excited to see the character finally get some justice in a modern Star Wars entry. I hope they look past the fact a lot of it is fanservice, and see that it is *genuinely good story telling* that was born out of a desire to give the people what they want. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they say it was all a massive member berries circle jerk and a waste of the show's time and resources.
"Do they have one sewer grate manufacturer in the galaxy?!" - Yes, mike - if you read the expanded universe comics and novels, you will know that Frangoo Jumpjet founded 'Frangoo's galactic drain construction concern' in 18BBY after he went bankrupt from funding his uncle Dexter Jettster's diner. They were wildly popular, and used all over the galaxy due to their strength and durability, which was improved over time. If you pause it at time index 1:12:34 in Rise Of The Skywalker, you can even see one of them used in the big Sith chamber that Palpatine resides in. That is canonically the most modern model of sewer grate he constructed (made from the metal S5-B66), which is very exciting.
I hear they also have those sewer gates at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center. That’s where most of the funding went, instead of Vader’s suit.
@@michaelstein7510 I was really hoping they'd reference that in their Rise of Skywalker review, since Palpy was back. Didnt have the budget for fingers! *sad gameshow trombone sound*
Y'know, I figured with the carbonite thing that some enterprising Cloud City technician was like, "Huh, I could update this and sell it to the Bounty Hunters Guild". 10 years later, Mando's got the personal ship sized version.
The carbonite thing makes total sense. No one has ever used it in that manor. I mean who would be that crazy. Suddenly you have the means to preserve life in a cryo-sleep style but protected in a sheath of carbonite. Just the ability to freeze and stack livestock alone would make it a viable thing unless the carbonite was expensive. But since it was already being used on inanimate objects I don't imagine it would be costly. Moving 200 chickens stacked in squares makes it a lot easier than 200 that need food, water, grazing space, etc. which could contract disease or exposed to toxins. That could ruin an entire batch. But with carbonite that's no longer an issue.
My take was that when Jabba received Han in carbonite, it turned a lot of heads. Jabba with his reputation has the ability to set trends. Soon, criminals and gangsters across the galaxy demanded that prize bounties be delivered in carbonite, and some quick witted entrepreneurs created carbonite freezing systems that could be installed in ships, etc. If you were an up and coming bounty hunter, investing in a carbonite freezer for your ship would go a long ways in promoting yourself and raising your income.
I'll wager that they disliked season 2, based on what they said in this review of season 1. Season 2 has light sabers, jedi, and CGI Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, which Rich Evans will most definitely hate. Plus the show has moved away from that Western feel to blockbuster movie type deal - with big set pieces and characters running through corridors and gunning down storm troopers like the sequel movies rather than the tight and compact episodes of season 1. They got rid of the lazy storm troopers with dirty armor and now their all brand new and shiny again and they get knocked over like bowling pins. They literally brought Boba Fett back and he became part of the main cast. The appearance of the same two X wing pilots from the prison break episode on three more occasions was a bit too serendipitous. Season 2 also introduced the idea that blasters can run out of ammo and get jammed, which doesn't make any sense. There were a lot of deus ex machina moments. I doubt Rich and Mike would like any of this stuff and I would wager that it potentially ruined Mandalorian for them.
@@johnhammond9633 Eh, they don't strike me as just automatically hating something cause it has some things they've complained about before. Mike in particular never hated lightsabers, just how over used they were. They're only used sparingly in the Mandalorian.
i love when you hear jay bauman laughing in the background after you hear when mike said that Bryan Singer is directing an episode of season 2 of the mandalorian but mike calls it if brian introduce a new character it's called the namblalorian haha. so funny.
At 9:30 there are two shadows revealing that Jango's head separated from the helmet before it hit the ground. Its kid of subtle, but if you slow the film down you can totally see that.
The way in which season 2 of Mandalorian used Boba Fett was subtle and clever, two words that would be on the bottom of the list of words I would use to describe Boba Fett's actual show.
@Mike Marlowe are you an ADD 6 year old? Mandalorian is rich with MOOD....AMBIENCE.....etc. NO NEED for Dialog when you can tell a story with images. Then again, you thought both Wonder Woman films were masterpieces.
Dave Filoni deserves some big praise for what he has accomplished in Star Wars storytelling over the past few years. He honed his skills directly under Lucas (with Clone Wars), and carried on some of his best qualities in his work. I hope Filoni continues to build and expand the universe. I trust him with the franchise more than anyone else right now.
Dave actually gives a shit. Is is a 501 member and cosplays ploo koon. Kat Kennedy reminds me of my successful sister that has a personal elevator in her house. Smart successful but ultimately disconnected from society but means well
If he did clone wars then this could be good. Big fan of the Lucas era Clone Wars series, and I don't watch much animated anythings but I was a fan of that series.
Easy. He also directed the worst episode and isn't super adept with live action as of yet. There is no one man who is a lone savior. But he makes a solid team with Favreau and I think Debra Chow is their best director.
It's just gonna be them sitting in silence for an hour😂. It's more action oriented and way more lore heavy with Ashoka, Bo, and Boba. They would be super confused.
You know what would've been great? When if the Mandolorian was debating to save Baby Yoda, he would look back at the compound, then back towards his ship, then back towards the compound, then shout, "NOOOOOO!" and throw the scientist guy down a shaft. That would've made me understand his motivation way better since I had no idea what was going on there.
It doesn’t take special powers to predict the predictable. Especially if you know how to write stories, how to structure movies and have seen enough movies to notice the general trend of the popular movies versus the quality movies. Just think of the most common things the average person likes and chances are it will happen in a popular series. That’s what makes modern cinema so depressing. There’s no incentive to make anything new anymore. People want the same and familiar.
My favorite part of the "lore" they made for the Mandalorian people was that it was straight out of Mike and Rich's discussions: It's armor. The entire character and concept is built off of "cool looking armor guy with gadgets." So that's what they ARE. Their culture is their armor, their identity is their armor, their matriarch is an armorsmith who makes them armor that makes them who they are within the tribe. It was a perfect direction for them to go. They had one card to play so they played it up as high and mighty as it could be played, and they smacked it onto the table with such force the whole thing buckled. All the prose and poetry and pedantry of the new shit, the ambiguous First Order, the non-existent New Republic, it all pales to "My weapon IS my religion". It feels like a perfect accident that wasn't supposed to be as good as it is, and THAT is STAR WARS.
they also missed the point that the mandalorian culture is more or like like the spartan culture. a Warrior race ( or people with the mandalorians) were fighting and war is everything for them. Also their helmets are heavily influenced by spartan helmets and not really knights like mike things
@@greyghostinfinite No! You thought that mandalorians were a race. Everyone else knew already. Everyone who plays star wars video games ( knights of the old republic, for example) or read some books already knew that Mandalorian is a culture and not an ethnicity.
@@greyghostinfinite Mandalorians originated from a single race that died off but they managed to spread their culture to others. I seem to remember they didn't care about anything outside of their creed to the point they didn't bat an eye at homosexual relationships. Though I don't exactly remember them having a problem with taking off their helmets, that's kinda silly.
Star Wars and even the new Star Trek need to remember what magic slow movie can be. No lighting fast cuts, taking time to admire the view. Setting mood, building tension, less is more.
I watched Rise a little over a week ago and have already forgotten it. Meanwhile episodes of Mando from several weeks ago are still fresh in my head. That alone says something
I remember there was lots of running and screaming and 4 laser sword fights, uhmm I'm pretty sure the plot was, find the thing to get the other thing to find the place... I don't know why anything was happening, but that's probably my fault for having not read all the comics.
Not that far off actually, if you replace "Keep winning the best village award at any cost" with *"Find the biggest, meanest badasses around (besides us) and FIGHT THE EVER-LOVING $!#@ OUTTA THEM!!!* Similar mentality for doing it though.
I would suppose that carbon freezing would become common practice pretty quickly within the bounty hunting circle once they realize that this mining equipment can easily and efficiency store any bounties they pick up.
@@georgemcmarrinyolfsnouzerw3949 A frozen prisoner doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep, urinate or defecate, and they certainly are quieter than their non-frozen counterparts. Small ship. Mando is transporting multiple bounties at the beginning of the show.
After watching Mando, I assumed that carbon freezing of people might be a common thing but in Empire they didn't have the people freezing unit at hand, but they did have this industrial carbon freezing machine. Which is why they thought they could modify it to freeze people, but they weren't sure the industrial version wouldn't be too strong and kill the person.
i think he was probably on that wall for a good long while as well, Jabba probably had a lot of bounty hunters passing through, boba fett probably bragged to those slave girls, ect ect.
And still they didn’t know what Jedi were. An famous order that has been around forever before being dismantled in around the Clone Wars and after, just some 30-40 years prior. Kinda like if no one would remember 40 yrs back in the past, and this no one would even remember the OT anymore... 😂
Werner hertzog is so god damn captivating to watch. I could have watched a whole show just about him just hanging out around the galaxy thru the years.
I love the music on this show. It's completely original and not just playing into star wars nostalgia. And like Mike pointed out with the mix of eastern and western styles, the music is the same. It doesn't sound like it's from any particular area of the world, it's amazing. Some of my favourite TV/movie music in a long time
The carbonite freezing makes perfect sense and it's done very well IMHO. They don't make a huge deal out of it. We can assume that after the success of freezing han, it was adopted more widely. There are huge advantages to having the bounties frozen: no trying to escape, no feeding or bathroom, you can be more efficient and go around and collect a few different bounties before returning them all at once. I like it.
@@monmothma3358 nearly a decade had passed since Han’s freezing. Dead or Alive bounties would be a perfectly cromulent time to utilize Carbonite freezing since it’s a wonderful way to transport a being. You don’t have to kill someone in transit if they get squirrelly. Then you’re stuck with a rotting corpse of any number of stinky aliens.
I Re listen to this review maybe once every 3 months, it’s just so good to hear them talk positively and hopefully about the show and brings back the same excitement I had watching it the first time
The Reason the Mandalorian works so well, is that it doesn't play down to children. Like a good mystery movie, they leave a lot of the story up to the viewer. They don't narrate everything that isn't explained, effectively boring the viewer to death. They leave questions, curiosities, that eventually get answered, but not by a narrator and it's not immediate. There is a payoff for the answers and it's worth waiting for. So many shows have forgotten this, about how the viewer's interest in a show.
The most genius thing about the helmets is that you can get a bunch of stunt guys instead of paying more for the main actors that are only doing the voices.
Now that the Book of Boba Fett is currently running. It's interesting to come back to this episode and see how much they got right for Mandelorian S2 and BoBF S1
The other being its really easy to see just the character and not the actor. Example being on the planet with the small village a lot of people saw "pillboi" lol. Another being we don't feel the heavy narcissistic vibes of "the audience has to see my face all the time" shit when a character would have no reason take a mask or helmet off the vast majority of the time
@@basedchimera5859 Oh, well in that case - I completely agree with them! Star Wars fans are gonna get mad when RLM finally review Season 2 because they dissed "muh Luke Skywalker." Didn't you see that Lucasfilm pulled the same trick in Book of Boba Fett? They knew people would find the storytelling poor and the characters boring, so they decided to shoe-horn Mando into the show midway and gave him his own episode. I rolled my eyes when I heard the Mandalorian theme song at the end of Episods 4. Fans moan about the quality of Star Wars but when they are offered cheap fan service, they forget all about the stuff they moaned about - easily pleased ultimately. That's why I admire The Last Jedi, because it slapped fans in the face with an *attempt* at richer, more meaningful storytelling, a far deeper and more interesting play-style drama, and actual risks being taken - as well as beautiful filmmaking techniques from Steve Yedlin. But of course most fans went "muh canon" and hated on the film. That film is flawed but of course SW fans hate it for the (mostly) wrong reasons - they'd rather have TFA or Rogue One repeats, as much as I enjoy the latter film. The Mandalorian combined such fan-service elements with mundane storytelling and fans went insane - just shows.
@@SirJamesthePaul Loooooove this line. I don't know why Lucas felt the need to change it. At least Empire was the most untouched of the originals. Minus that.

Rich is a key to all this. Because he’s a funnier character than what we’ve had before.
If they could just get him working...
I'll just say it. When it comes to reviews/analyses of movies or shows, Mike is in a league of his own.
He straight out guessed correctly that they’d bring Boba Fett back for season 2. And Disney were so impressed they decided to add a whole Boba show on top of it.

I was searching for that comment.
My headcanon is that the Carbonite freezing was so successful that it eventual became an industry standard for bounty hunting.
And that's probably right.
Darth Vader helped revolutionize the industry, yet still can't get shoes that fit for his artificial feet.
The Clone Wars also used carbonite freezing in the Citadel arc.
I don't think the carbonite freezing was uncommon, just that the machine they used in empire was not built for that.
@@nearlydead7510 it would make sense that carbon freezing itself is common but only prisons or bounty hunters typically use facilities designed specifically for humans, while most others are designed for hazardous materials containment or something.
In season 2 the blue guy says he still cant see from one of his eyes after the carbon freeze. So they did take into consideration the hazards of the carbon freeze.
When are we going to get an episode with just Mike in both chairs discussing Star Trek?
I don't think the internet could handle that. Also the world might explode.

@Kat Stevens Reborn They're a bunch of hack-frauds!
I love that this show is just finally exploring the "Space Western" side of Star Wars. I mean it was always there. Right from day one. But over time... people seemed to forget about the part with blaster and rogues and bounty hunters and all that in favor of focusing solely on the 3 Foot Laser Compensator. Which... made sense in its evolution. But I do feel like this is the untapped potential of Star Wars to mine. And if all Star Wars really turns into is just a long running Mandalorian series at this point? I'd be happy with it. It's good, simple, episode of the day Space Western stuff.
I agree that Tattooine has worn out it's welcome, it's practically the capital of star wars now
Mando's ship looks like Lone Starr's RV, which is pure genius.
By God you're right
Oh my god it does!
Wait he wasn't Boba Fett?
I literally sang “ooooooooooooooh, you got a nasty reputation...” the first time we see the ship in space. My wife laughed so hard she cried. We had to pause to get the giggles out of our system. But every time after that when we would see his ship flying in space, we’d both say in Lord Helmet’s voice, “LONE STAR!”
@Wang Computers Sir the radar appears to, Jammed!
I'm surprised Rich didn't see the parallel for when the Mandalorian flew with baby Yoda over his shoulder to when the Mandalorian himself was rescued as a kid by another Mandalorian who flew off carrying him much the same way. It was a pretty obvious tie-in that the creators of the show were trying to do.
Can't wait to hear their thoughts on season 2.
They'll either have enjoyed it, or be mad that there was a lot of fanservice and usage of older legends characters/concepts.
@@mattrocde I think both. I can hear them debating whether it's good to have such a good show recycle old characters, when it was already standing on its own 2 feet. But I think they will also give credit on how well those old characters were handled.

I hope they look past the fact a lot of it is fanservice, and see that it is *genuinely good story telling* that was born out of a desire to give the people what they want. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they say it was all a massive member berries circle jerk and a waste of the show's time and resources.

"Do they have one sewer grate manufacturer in the galaxy?!" - Yes, mike - if you read the expanded universe comics and novels, you will know that Frangoo Jumpjet founded 'Frangoo's galactic drain construction concern' in 18BBY after he went bankrupt from funding his uncle Dexter Jettster's diner. They were wildly popular, and used all over the galaxy due to their strength and durability, which was improved over time. If you pause it at time index 1:12:34 in Rise Of The Skywalker, you can even see one of them used in the big Sith chamber that Palpatine resides in. That is canonically the most modern model of sewer grate he constructed (made from the metal S5-B66), which is very exciting.
Andrew Hickinbottom he then polished the grate with a wudu hide.
Haha, yes - to distract from all the shit in the sewers :-D
I hear they also have those sewer gates at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center. That’s where most of the funding went, instead of Vader’s suit.

Y'know, I figured with the carbonite thing that some enterprising Cloud City technician was like, "Huh, I could update this and sell it to the Bounty Hunters Guild". 10 years later, Mando's got the personal ship sized version.
The carbonite thing makes total sense. No one has ever used it in that manor. I mean who would be that crazy. Suddenly you have the means to preserve life in a cryo-sleep style but protected in a sheath of carbonite. Just the ability to freeze and stack livestock alone would make it a viable thing unless the carbonite was expensive. But since it was already being used on inanimate objects I don't imagine it would be costly. Moving 200 chickens stacked in squares makes it a lot easier than 200 that need food, water, grazing space, etc. which could contract disease or exposed to toxins. That could ruin an entire batch. But with carbonite that's no longer an issue.
My take was that when Jabba received Han in carbonite, it turned a lot of heads. Jabba with his reputation has the ability to set trends. Soon, criminals and gangsters across the galaxy demanded that prize bounties be delivered in carbonite, and some quick witted entrepreneurs created carbonite freezing systems that could be installed in ships, etc. If you were an up and coming bounty hunter, investing in a carbonite freezer for your ship would go a long ways in promoting yourself and raising your income.
It's also stated in Empire that the facility was crude, and that would be the reason they weren't sure if Han would survive.
@@yugen I don't think they would demand it, but it would be incredible convenient to transport your bounty alive.
I agree, it's been 10 to 15 years since we first saw it. Of course they perfected the survival rates and shrunk it.
Can hardly wait for the second season review, with all these accurate predictions and all
i’m glad that they were wrong though
I'll wager that they disliked season 2, based on what they said in this review of season 1. Season 2 has light sabers, jedi, and CGI Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, which Rich Evans will most definitely hate. Plus the show has moved away from that Western feel to blockbuster movie type deal - with big set pieces and characters running through corridors and gunning down storm troopers like the sequel movies rather than the tight and compact episodes of season 1. They got rid of the lazy storm troopers with dirty armor and now their all brand new and shiny again and they get knocked over like bowling pins. They literally brought Boba Fett back and he became part of the main cast. The appearance of the same two X wing pilots from the prison break episode on three more occasions was a bit too serendipitous. Season 2 also introduced the idea that blasters can run out of ammo and get jammed, which doesn't make any sense. There were a lot of deus ex machina moments. I doubt Rich and Mike would like any of this stuff and I would wager that it potentially ruined Mandalorian for them.
@@johnhammond9633 Eh, they don't strike me as just automatically hating something cause it has some things they've complained about before. Mike in particular never hated lightsabers, just how over used they were. They're only used sparingly in the Mandalorian.

At 9:30 there are two shadows revealing that Jango's head separated from the helmet before it hit the ground. Its kid of subtle, but if you slow the film down you can totally see that.
The way I was remembering it, there was red at the bottom of the helmet i.e. his cauterized neck.
The way in which season 2 of Mandalorian used Boba Fett was subtle and clever, two words that would be on the bottom of the list of words I would use to describe Boba Fett's actual show.

It doesn’t take special powers to predict the predictable.

Just think of the most common things the average person likes and chances are it will happen in a popular series. That’s what makes modern cinema so depressing. There’s no incentive to make anything new anymore. People want the same and familiar.

My favorite part of the "lore" they made for the Mandalorian people was that it was straight out of Mike and Rich's discussions: It's armor. The entire character and concept is built off of "cool looking armor guy with gadgets." So that's what they ARE. Their culture is their armor, their identity is their armor, their matriarch is an armorsmith who makes them armor that makes them who they are within the tribe. It was a perfect direction for them to go. They had one card to play so they played it up as high and mighty as it could be played, and they smacked it onto the table with such force the whole thing buckled. All the prose and poetry and pedantry of the new shit, the ambiguous First Order, the non-existent New Republic, it all pales to "My weapon IS my religion". It feels like a perfect accident that wasn't supposed to be as good as it is, and THAT is STAR WARS.
Very well put.
they also missed the point that the mandalorian culture is more or like like the spartan culture. a Warrior race ( or people with the mandalorians) were fighting and war is everything for them. Also their helmets are heavily influenced by spartan helmets and not really knights like mike things
@@greyghostinfinite No! You thought that mandalorians were a race. Everyone else knew already. Everyone who plays star wars video games ( knights of the old republic, for example) or read some books already knew that Mandalorian is a culture and not an ethnicity.

Small ship. Mando is transporting multiple bounties at the beginning of the show.
Especially since it’s 8 years after Empire and 8 years for us is pretty good for technology to advance, let alone in Star Wars
After watching Mando, I assumed that carbon freezing of people might be a common thing but in Empire they didn't have the people freezing unit at hand, but they did have this industrial carbon freezing machine. Which is why they thought they could modify it to freeze people, but they weren't sure the industrial version wouldn't be too strong and kill the person.

The carbonite freezing makes perfect sense and it's done very well IMHO. They don't make a huge deal out of it. We can assume that after the success of freezing han, it was adopted more widely. There are huge advantages to having the bounties frozen: no trying to escape, no feeding or bathroom, you can be more efficient and go around and collect a few different bounties before returning them all at once. I like it.
Did they know it worked, though? It happened to work on Han, but might still be a 50/50 shot each time
@@monmothma3358 nearly a decade had passed since Han’s freezing. Dead or Alive bounties would be a perfectly cromulent time to utilize Carbonite freezing since it’s a wonderful way to transport a being.

The Reason the Mandalorian works so well, is that it doesn't play down to children.
Like a good mystery movie, they leave a lot of the story up to the viewer. They don't narrate everything that isn't explained, effectively boring the viewer to death. They leave questions, curiosities, that eventually get answered, but not by a narrator and it's not immediate. There is a payoff for the answers and it's worth waiting for. So many shows have forgotten this, about how the viewer's interest in a show.

That's why I admire The Last Jedi, because it slapped fans in the face with an *attempt* at richer, more meaningful storytelling, a far deeper and more interesting play-style drama, and actual risks being taken - as well as beautiful filmmaking techniques from Steve Yedlin. But of course most fans went "muh canon" and hated on the film.

This is verbatim the plotline of a low number half in the bag.
I always laugh at the timing of Vader shouting "Put him in!" to freeze Han. Just so casual, like he's ordering a beer with his frozen Corellian.
Remember in the OG cut of Empire when Vader just says “Bring my shuttle” after the duel with Luke? So much anger in one line.
@@SirJamesthePaul nah man clearly 'alert my star destroyer to prepare for my arrival' was the better line...
@@SirJamesthePaul Loooooove this line. I don't know why Lucas felt the need to change it. At least Empire was the most untouched of the originals. Minus that.
James Gregory I didn’t even know about that change... just sucks the life out of it doesn’t it?
