It was a deliberate choice. Most high fantasy shows use the same type of dialogue to try to feel like another world. Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones as examples. That's good because they are serious action dramas.
Willow was written as a twist on some common fantasy tropes and the TV series expanded on that idea. The modern dialogue and music was part of the direction they chose.

It's a decent show. Re-watching it now and I wouldn't say it's worth the re-watch (my girlfriend didn't see it originally though). It has some fun moments and the cast is really good.

Reply to verizon FIOS coming to Worcester by ozzgift
Awesome news for Worcester folk. I prefer FIOS to Spectrum and competition is good in this industry. I don't live in Worcester but I'm hoping this means the neighboring towns will get it eventually too.
Anyone know if there is a complete list of towns that are part of the expansion?

It will find it's audience. Whether it's because of the merciless spam from fans, promotion by Disney or just plain word of mouth, people will find this show and Season 2 will be huge.

I think Tony himself wouldn't be interested in that from what we know (but who knows? Maybe he would be.). But... there are many directors, writers and producers who worked on this show besides Tony and they are very much Star Wars people, so I think many of the tones and styles this show has can be duplicated in future Star Wars projects whether Tony Gilroy is involved or not.
The talent involved in this show was incredible.
The CREATOR of House of Cards wrote 3 episodes (8, 9 and 10). They have editors from Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon. Directors/Cinematographers from Dr. Who (not my thing but still a big production). Tony's brother is a highly accomplished screenwriter. Like... holy shit. No wonder this show is so good.

I think the reports that the show wasn't hitting the streaming numbers previous big Disney+ shows have reached (not 100% certain because the real numbers are not provided) got fans of the show motivated to help promote it.
I wouldn't say I am helping but it certainly made me feel like I should.

He def needs a 2nd show with a more open-ended fate for the characters (though besides Andor and Mon, all the characters here have unknown fates).
I hope they do a "spinoff"/sequel show where they re-visit surviving characters after the destruction of Alderan and the Death Star, as the rebellion grows and the Empire gets ruthless trying to hunt them down.

I was wondering how they were going to reveal that and I am glad they did it that way. It makes no sense for the characters to find out.

I liked it and it didn't bother me but yeah, Wandavision didn't stick the landing as good as Andor or Mandalorian did.

I've enjoyed A LOT of Disney+ stuff from Marvel and Lucasfilm but yeah, this is EASILY the best Disney+ show of the last 18 months and maybe even ever.

This episode surpassed any expectations I had for the finale. Extremely emotional, unpredictable and thrilling.
They better not overlook this show when Emmy season comes around. This show is every bit as good as Better Call Saul or House of the Dragon (using those two as examples because I have seen them and I know they will garner plenty of nominations), if not better.
"I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong." killed me. Only time I cried the whole series. The writing for this episode was incredible.

I live in Oxford and I didn't know this.
Is this automatic or do I need to opt-in?

Reply to In what ways do you think "second screening" has changed what shows get made, how they're shot/put together, and what shows get popular? by bqzs
I am disappointed how little "second screening" has been utilized as a tool for television rather than a distraction for viewers.
10 years ago, there was talk of phones and tablets being used as complementary gadgets for watching TV, both as extra information and interaction, but nobody has really mainstreamed this idea yet.
