“Perhaps a Rebel mission to capture Death Star plans?”

EFFING AND BLINDING

The pilot for Powers is brilliant. From the acting, the camerawork, to the writing, it’s all on point. There is a problem with it though, and that’s Deena. Changing her ethnicity isn’t a problem. She doesn’t swear enough! Deena is a hard- swearing cynic – the show has her a bit too wide- eyed and pleasant. If they can tweak this over the season the show has the potential to rival SHIELD or even ( whisper it quietly) Arrow.

You didn’t whisper quietly enough – I heard. Love or hate Powers, isn’t it great to have so much superhero TV on the box? And it’s not all DC and Marvel.

THE FANS AWAKEN

So we now have a release date and title for the first of the standalone Star Wars movies – Rogue One. With that title does it mean we’ll be getting an X- Wing Rebel pilot focused story? An early Rebellionb­ased tale? I personally would love a Rebel Alliance grunts focused story, more dealing with those on the front line of the Galactic Civil War, the troops out in the field, the pilots making the difference without the need for the Force to help them, more gritty Band Of Brothers style soldiering set in the Star Wars universe. Or perhaps the Rebel mission to capture ( either of ) the Death Star plans? Too many exciting possibilit­ies.

Wonder if they’ll call the sequel Rogue Two, arf.
