Yea everything is a series. Its annoying as hell when I here UK people call things "season". It not like TV series's have just appeared so you are unsure on what to call it!

Seasons are Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, although it appears we only have two in the UK at the minute

So a series finale could be the last episode of one series or the last episode of the entire show?

This is almost as weird as adding an "I" to aluminum. Luckily we've paved over the UK culturally so this series/season foolishness won't be around much longer.

That was done so the word's spelling would be in line with other metallic elements like sodium, potassium, etc. (all ending in -ium), nothing weird about it. The element is called aluminium in about 17 different languages and aluminum in about 4.

The 'series' thing is a bit strange though.

We need to change Platinum to Platinium too.

It was originally called alumium if you want to be picky.

Yup...though they used to say, ..and the A-Team will be back next Spring.

[SP]

Season is used for a summer season in Blackpool.

Like Jim Bowen at the end of a pier

Fucking right!

Alan Partridge didn't ask for a second season!

How about a compromise? Use season for an American show and series for a UK show. That way I'll only get confused if they bring Fackin Loofer back for yet more nonsense.

[classycarra]

What are the indications for the next film? Never like to get involved in the hype, mostly as I hate waiting for films!

Is it expected to be fun and decent like 7? Or slighly fun and almost decent rogue one?

[Trada]

The first Last Jedi Trailer released today during Monday night Football in the USA.

Smell my cheese you mother.

So the estimate for the release of the trailer could be anywhere between 02:45 - 03:30 UK time tomorrow

There are only 2 seasons.

Ones where we win the league. And other ones.

How fucking good is that!

[Brian Blessed]

Tickets purchased for the Thursday night, happy fucking days.

[Trada]

I haven't got a clue why, but it didn't excite me at all.

I will have to watch it again later when I haven't been awake for 24 hours.

[Trada]

Just rewatched it and I still found it very underwhelming.

It seemed like star wars by numbers.

Luke training her in the 2nd film just like Yoda trained him. cutesy aliens. him holding his hand out to her reminded me of Vader doing it to Luke in the 2nd film. oh look a space battle.

Nice to have a couple of guest appearances Voldermort and Caesar from the planet of the apes doing the voice over.

After saying all that I have just booked my seat for the opening day.

[Kopite B205]

Looks amazing!

[SP]

Advance warning, anyone posting spoilers in this topic will be banned until episode 9 is released.

[Trump's tiny tiny hands]

It seemed like star wars by numbers.

My suspicion is they want that notion out there. Coincidence that a lot of the scenes look like Empire Strikes Back?

[voodoo ray]

Beware of trailers.

Makes me laugh when people make judgements about things jumping to conclusions though, so keep at it.

[ScottScott]

I didn't think I could be more hyped for this than I already was but that trailer has got me good. Looks awesome

[Riquende]

I'm wasn't expecting much. I've seen the trailer, and I'm still not.

Still making arrangements to see it day one though, so they'll have my cash at least.

At least Rebels is back this weekend.

[Ultimate Bromance]

Those porgs are the most "We made this specifically to sell toys" things I think I've ever seen, and they are going to sell a metric fuckton of them.

Its the only thing we have to go on right now.

Like I said him holding his hand out reminded me of Empire but that might just be clever trailer editing maybe in the film hes holding his hand out to Leia and a lot of new characters they didn't show.   

[WillG.LFC]

Just be good please!

[Kashinoda]

Meh

Yeah I've been trying all morning and I can't get past the seat selection. I can wait a day or two after release to see it so not too bad but it looks good

[Adam_LFC]

Thought it was pretty good. I'd rather the trailer be "meh" and give away nothing than basically spoil 75% of the plot like many other trailers these days.

[oojason]

Really liked it - a lot to take in, but did the job a trailer is meant to, and more

It was working at 7am.

Even if the bastards decided not to put a 4DX showing on at my local 4DX cinema. Bastards.

Yeah you have to strike a fine balance. Blade Runner is getting stick for having trailers which showed almost no plot/story whatsoever and are being attributed to the movie not performing well.

[Red Beret]

Spoiling my speculation. 

Spoiler

Would be interesting if Kylo and Rey changed sides
