If Ken Jennings wasn’t an LDS guy, I’m sure he’d have already orchestrated/paid-for that to happen, to take over the franchise as host.

Yes, I had to edit it after the fact (and yet before the edit window closed!) to be “head of government.” The Queen is indeed head of state.

I disagree. Even back then, the song was entitled and spelled “Gangsta’s Paradise.”

She is the head of State, not the head of government.

I don’t get it.

I mean, you wouldn’t credit someone who responded A New Yorker instead of The New Yorker, if the answer(/question) was about the publication, right? It’s a proper noun, so the article matters.

And that’s an extremely fair criticism.

For some reason, even as my taste has evolved beyond Jimmy Eat World and the “Clarity” and “Bleed American” albums of my high school days, I still attend their concerts when they’re in town just out of pure nostalgia.

We have laws for that kind of stuff. He absolutely can sue them.It just takes a lot of time and money.

Wouldn’t she have to prove damages though? (Serious question, I’m not an attorney). I doubt that the folks who Teigen/Legend them would take these accusation seriously – and therefore financially impact them. (Of course, given the wackos who believe in Pizzagate, it’s more than possible these accusations placed their…

Is this true?” googling on Pubmed and Google Scholar of actual studies.

Seems like that would’ve set up a predictable precedent where (given who’s available), we’d all know going into Ep. 9 that Luke would die.

Or it shows that adults can have different views without being dicks.

Sure, but we don’t go to the movies to see logic and odds work.

I don’t recall if it was ever fully explored how the First Order became so powerful vs. The Resistance. To me, “The Force Awakens” was just a modern retelling of “A New Hope,” which needed prequels to establish its own back-story and why things where what they were. But it was also established that the Resistance was…

I mean, your physics is right... but then again, applying actual physics to “Star Wars” is absurd. Fantasy and story-telling demand a certain level of belief suspension. Like I don’t think Lucas and Kazdan consulted physicists when writing the original trilogy; and all the better that they didn’t.

You’re right; they somehow managed to give her a wonderful last scene without foreknowledge.

That’s the saving grace here.

I think employing the term “kamikaze,” despite being an accurate descriptor of the strategy, also misleads us in terms of scale.
