Rewatch: Rogue One A Star Wars Story

 Rogue One: Rogue One was always the movie we needed in the Star Wars universe.  It gave us fans such hope in the franchise.  Just a great movie leading up to an iconic moment.  Having just finished Andor I had to watch this again, right?  I watched it Friday night and it does hit differently after watching Andor.  Andor is great and perfect lead in to Rogue One.  The movie carries much of the same tone and pays off all that the rebellion went through in the series.  I like this movie so much I've only seen it a few times.  And I'm glad that's the case.  I really enjoyed it and much was like new again.  The way it should be.  I'll stop gushing but it was a fun week for a Star Wars nerd.  

Seinfeld Television Series (1989–1998) Rewatch

 Seinfeld: I recently rewatched the Seinfeld series and just wanted to share a few thoughts.  I did this over time and would usually watch an episode prior to going to sleep.  With 172 episodes it took some time, but I found myself looking forward to watching them each night.  I enjoyed Seinfeld when it came out, and I still do today, and that is even after watching reruns for years once it went into syndication.  

Some of my favorite episodes include The Contest, The Comeback, The Hamptons, and The Opposite.  I'm sure I'm forgetting many more.  In my memory, I didn't like the heavily criticized finale when it originally aired (and I don't think I'd seen it since).  I'll say this time around I was fine with it.  Not sure what changed but something did.  There were so many ongoing plot lines and characters that were fun too.  Watching it through and giving each episode my full attention, it was much more enjoyable than just having it on in the background.  It's also easier to catch the nods back to past episodes.  I'm glad I did this.  I really like Seinfeld, and it was really fun to do a rewatch of the entire run.  And I'm on to my next rewatch...
