My personal take. Andor showed what good SW tv looks like....

It was a waste of all three of them!  But I’m glad you enjoyed the episode on the level it was intended.  (that sounds condescending, but is not meant as such!)  To me, I’d be thrilled to see any of those 3 in SW in a story that wasn’t awful.  

Goofy is fine.  But dumbasss goofy is not.  Wow, this episode was dreadful.  

What is truly shocking about this season (among its many other sins) is just how Grogu is barely in it. He’s literally just a piece of luggage Mando is carting around.

Dear god, this was the worst episode in the worst season of what is, on its best day, a middling series.

Elisabeth Moss is a sub human shit stain. Profiteering off the theater of fighting fictional human rights abuses while enabling them in the real world herself...she is absolutely vile. I guess she doesn’t need to dig too deep when playing demented psychopaths.

That’s because this whole sect that never takes their helmets off is exceedingly stupid and it’s apparent the showrunners never really thought through how stupid it was. Basically, it’s like they thought this would be a cool premise for one character where we don’t have to think too deeply about the implications, but t…

Also she walks like a drunk ostrich and wears fishnets over her shirt. Even for a punk, it’s a weird look.  The teen Nat looks and acts more like Emma Stone.  The age things bothers me too.  I am Juliette’s age and I graduated HS in 1990.  She looks a very rough 43!  Put her with Kevin, who looks younger than his age…

Biden at his current age is still healthier- and vastly more mentally sound- than Trump ever was, and BTW Trump is only 3 1/2ish years younger.

Bill, I’m familiar with you here, and I don’t trust your analysis on this.

Not sure what you want. Biden is 900 years old but he’s the 2020 victor and incumbent and he’s not stepping down. Not done a half bad job either.

Being a barista means that the entire world gets to tell you to make that latte, peasant. Doesn’t matter if it’s a tech worker or someone working at a nail shop. In that moment, assholes like to flex that tiny bit of power over another person, and the young, nouveau riche workers of any lucrative-industry-du-jour are…

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Silicon Valley proper or any other global tech hub, the economic forces are the same. Amazon and Microsoft did the same to the Seattle area, even before the Meta, Google, and others set up shop there. The cost of living is oppressive, and because Seattle doesn’t have a state income tax, l…

This is among the best and most informative writing I’ve seen on Lifehacker or any similar outlet, bar none. Thank you.

So you’re OK with private companies offering sugar pills to treat whatever they want to say they can treat? Because, to be clear, this is what you are saying.

Sure, but  his King Lear would’ve been better if he’d spent the time to become the king of Britain and then done a bunch of ogling and shit.

He’s been an absolutely brilliant actor since long before you were born. He’s considered one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of his generation (“King Lear” in particular). People have sought his opinions on acting for at least 45 years. JFC indeed.

Holy shit, what drugs is this ToriPhantom on.

Marlene really didn’t know Ellie. She was terrified she would say no.

Yeah, I find the back-and-forth about the scene since the game so tiring because the answer is everyone is wrong. I think the show’s changes are interesting in that they simultaneously made Joel out to be more of a cold-blooded killer (compared to the games where you Rambo through everything, the “I kill 10 guys…
