If Steven’s grandparents were worth knowing they would have opened the letters. They would have written back or reached out in someway. But they didn’t. They shoved them in a drawer. We don’t know what other ways Greg has tired to reach out to his parents over the years. Maybe he’s tired to call or text or connect via

  • I want to meet Steven’s grandparents!!!

The thing is he's part of franchises that will make money regardless. Force Awakens was going to make crazy money no matter what. 

Not to mention how often that variation of the story sank into Prequel levels of cheesiness and sentimentality

Wow this story is everywhere! Anyways, here are the obvious reasons:

I mean, I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other about how Rose was used in ROS, but that’s largely because of how poorly the character was written in TLJ.

First, the title of this article is disappointing. It is very click-bait-ey. No one ever said “it was Carrie Fisher’s fault”. That’s ridiculous. What was said (which was in the other articles this article was sourced from) was that they couldn’t make the extra (previously shot) footage of Carrie Fisher work well with

I remember watching the previous seasons and rooting for her to listen to her advisers and stay on the righteous path. Because she had a lot of dark, violent impulses. I’m sure a lot of people did the same. We didn’t want our perceived hero to turn to evil.

I’ve been mulling over a particular question Nate asked (“Why would anybody wish to be a sidekick?”) and I think I’ve got an answer.

Gary is desperate to be included, but he’s also got low self-esteem and a streak of, if not cowardice, then certainly risk aversion at his core. When you think about it, “sidekick” is the

“When my dragons are grown we will take back what was stolen from me. We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground.”

I observed the dance scene and thought, “Fifty bucks says a reviewer on GMG equates that scene to rape.” You guys are getting predictable. Also I need to get off the Internet because it’s driving me insane.

The last 10 or so episodes haven’t necessarily done all the work to get her here, or to make Jon as devoted to her as he is. But this is the direction she has been careening since season one. Anyone who couldn’t see that simply chose not to. It makes sense, as a POV character we were on her side every time she

Wait... are you implying that we’re in this because of Barry’s constant messing with the timeline?

The messed up timeline on The Flash makes more sense than our current one.

I almost wonder if Lena was so open with him because--consciously or not--she knew the kid was gonna die.

Are you sure the show is in any way unclear that Manchester Black has become a bad guy? Because yeah, it’s true the anti-alien bigots need to be stopped, but dude is also a murderer whose murders are not cast as heroic. What’s more, about his alleged effectiveness: he killed a bunch of Children of Liberty last week,

Heh, I mean this in the best way possible, but I didn’t catch the byline on my first read, and when the review kept going and going, I knew it wasn’t Caroline Siede. That being said, I always enjoy your insightful reviews.
