As a trans woman this is one of those things that drives me nuts about republicans. They always talk about gender like it’s some immutable, unchanging thing that has been the same since the dawn of time. Men look like this, women look like that, anything else is profane. Here’s the thing though: gender is completely a…

My dad grew up in a hyper machismo culture and I am so proud of the way he has worked to deprogram that shit from his life. No, he’s NEVER going to wear a pretty ballgown, but he sees another man do it and is now quick with a “good for him, he looks happy”. The man is in his 60s and has literally started telling…

I hope she doesn’t find out about what David Bowie used to dress like. Or that men used to dress up as women to play female characters in plays back in the 1500s. (And probably still do. I saw a reverse-gendered version of “King Lear” in college, which was done because the drama department that year not only didn’t…

You! Yes, You Poster! What website is this?

I did hear rumours though that it was Rose who actually foiled  Claus von Stauffenberg’s plot to kill Hitler just so she could give old Adolf a smooch.

God bless Marty! Every Marty! of us!

That scene absolutely read as Finn about to confess his love to Rey.

I feel like everything about Finn was mishandled. He’s been raised since childhood to be a killing drone, yet the first time he shoots down a tie fighter he’s yelling “DID YOU SEE THAT? DID YOU SEE THAT?” like a 12 year-old? Where would he have even heard that phrase? Soldier with Kurt Russell did a better job…

I just noticed that Kelly Marie Tran is listed in the credits as Rose. Good for her for not being chased off by the fanboy CHUDs, she rules.

We are introduced to this new story by our omniscient narrator, Master Yoda, who explains that Rey has begun training Finn to be a Jedi.

I’m glad they confirmed that Mando’s just in a weird sect of the Mandalorians so nerds can stop arguing about whether wearing the helmet at all times is canon. Who am I kidding, us nerds are going to argue about everything, forever.

Same same way they reconciled that Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness in the Force ghost voices. We just got to accept it.

It’s kind of weird seeing a boat in Star Wars.

Or

I thought it was resisting the urge to have a character utter: “I guess it had indigestion.”

Mandalorian demonstrates why people still love ‘Firefly’, another space cowboy series that had all the sympathetic character development that this series lacks. The Star Wars films after the first two come across as extended action figure commercials.

The question is: Will this totally unnamed person make a return and play any role in the rest of the series? Will we find out what he’s been doing for the last 5 years?

I wish they hadn’t gone back to Tatooine so soon. I much prefer when the show is doing its own thing rather than retracing the movies’ footsteps. At least it was far better than last season’s Tatooine ep.

Hahaha, that’s exactly what I was thinking.

I was also surprised and a little disapointed by Adira being addressed at she/her pronouns. The reveal of the Trill symbiote and that Adira doesn’t have all the memories unlocked point to where they might be going with the character. A lot of trans-people identified with Dax precisely because the host’s switch from…
