It came across as much more nuanced than that. Yeah, Roseanne gets in one (1) zinger about universal healthcare, but that was also preceded by a scene where Dan comes home from the pharmacy and they have to work out how to stretch their medication to make it last in spire of declining insurance coverage meaning they…

Agreed, I watched the first two episodes and the Trump support fears are overblown. In fact, it’s mostly contained within Roseanne and Jackie needling and provoking each other, which is 100% in line with their established relationship.

It’s significantly more progressive than most people are probably expecting, but…

Well I think the important thing about the government’s backing of the Resistance was that it was limited, under-the-table, and meant to be easily disavowed, because the Republic and the First Order were not at war and were both in fact bound by a treaty.

Ha HA! Joke’s on you, it’s actually a collection of trilbies.

I commend you for the A Chorus Line reference in the article’s title. *slow clap*

I don’t think that’s Disney’s call, given it’s a Fox show. Also it’s already been renewed for a second season... I really loved Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi, but The Orville is great and she is great in it, so I’ll live I suppose.

I have been playing Starfighter Assault mode in Battlefront II obsessively. I’m having a ridiculously good time with it. It looks great, sounds great, handles great. Takes place in all three of the cinematic Star Wars eras.

If they developed Starfighter Assault into a full stand-alone game of its own, I would 100% buy…

I think she said “towel,” not “shroud,” which is actually way funnier.

It got so much worse in the Clone Wars animated series. I never expected I would see that many clones sucked, screaming, into the vacuum of space in a show aimed at the children’s demographic, but there was a surprising amount of that.

I thought the pointlessness of Han’s death was the point, really. Kylo didn’t want to kill him, he even told Han that he wasn’t sure he was strong enough to do it. He killed Han to impress Snoke, and Snoke made fun of him for it. That’s what pushed him over.

There is a good point about the marketing hyping up characters that overall end up contributing very little to the actual movie, but honestly anyone who thinks that’s a new thing that Disney brought to the franchise either wasn’t around or wasn’t paying attention when the original trilogy was new, and might need to be…

45% of “dislike” clicks on the user section of a review aggregation site is definitely NOT the same thing as 45% of movie-goers.

I think the movies are still about the Skywalkers, in the form of Ben Solo, who’s half-Skywalker.

Anakin’s mother was also a nobody. It’s not even unprecedented.

That costume change into the tuxedo was great! I also loved that they later showed how it was done in one of the segues into commercials. I love well-done costume changes in live shows.

Yeah they both handled that line flub like a pro. It was so smooth and in-character that it almost seemed scripted and added some extra levity to their interactions.

There was also that bit earlier on where the thing hanging on the door fell off and he was just like, “Can you get that, dear?” which was a totally…

15 crafting parts instead of 5 is only the daily free crate. The crates bought with credits have something like 75 crafting parts in them IIRC. Somewhere thereabouts.

And with crafting parts, you can just make the cards you want. It’s not nearly the nightmare scenario that people are still pretending it is.

It’s extremely unusual for any multiplayer-based games to give you anything towards MP progression for playing offline. The fact that it was ever possible in the first place was a bonus. It’s just a bigger bonus now, depending on how badly you feel you need to farm credits from Arcade mode.

Totally! I spent the whole commercial break after he took the mask off thinking it was David Giuntoli and thinking I was pleased to see him on TV again.

And also the “haven’t you people ever seen a movie?” bit, which he used in a similar situation last season in regard to LMD’s and the Terminator franchise.
