Why do we keep trying to explain the force when Yoda did so perfectly in Empire?

Why? They paid their money to play the game they can play it however they want. 

This show has its moments and some of the actors are pretty good in it, but largely it just feels like its stuck in 2nd gear. It’s not bad, but we’re now 4 episodes into a 6 episode run and it feels like its just there. The stakes don’t seem near as important as they should be. The spy stuff, what little there…

Neither TNG or DS9 on this list? Do better.

“Rox”

I mean, is there any debate about this? They’re thin, conventionally attractive women in short dresses whose only job was to hold briefcases for a television audience.

IIRC, they had 20 or so people whose job consisted solely of holding briefcases and maybe handing them to somebody when their number was called. They were all women. They were all physically attractive. They were all dressed the same. It’s pretty much a lesson in “how to objectify women.” Just because the women knew…

Rhaenys was not in a position, political or practical, to just kill everyone. The greens have most of the largest houses behind them. Killing the group at the coronation would have still resulted in those houses still moving to install someone of their choosing. They wouldn’t all just say, eh, fine, Rhaenyra can be…

Just wrapped this up last night. It’s fantastic. There are aspects that could have been improved in the interface or “puzzles” (they aren’t really puzzles, they tell you the answer to just about everything pretty plainly) but the art is astonishing if you enjoy surrealism and tech-mysticism and the writing really is…

Once in a life time is seeing the Aztec pyramids in person. Watching elephants graze on the plains of Africa. Walking the Great Wall. Watching the Northern Lights. Feeling the winds of the coldest place on earth. Sweating in the Amazon. Not...staying in a heavily branded version of one of those fantasy motel suites. 

How the fuck has Lifehacker fallen to the point where pop spiritualism is being treated as a serious subject?

Fuck sleep, Patrick Stewart with his dying breath gave me a VERY important task that I’ll proceed to ignore while I fuck about in dungeons and join guilds, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let sleep get in the way.

I’m going to sound like a hipster, but I hated Oblivion. Not because it was a bad game, but because for me, my Oblivion was Morrowind, and Oblivion felt incredibly bland compared to it. The land of Morrowind feels strange, eerie, foreboding, full of mysteries and weird creatures and ethically-challenged elves. Cyrodil…

As of April 2021, it is now 138 slides.

She’s been essentially doing a version of “Ask Me Anything” on Twitter since this broke. Here’s are incredibly weaksauce answer

Low/no self esteem.

She is acting in a role where she has to wear a wig (see her Instagram post from 10/28/2020).  The wig needs to fit to her head tightly and braiding your hair close to your head is one of the best ways to do that.  

Tim’s is very generic now. It’s fine if you’re on the road and need to grab something, because they’re quick and you know what you’re getting. The downside is you know what you’re getting because everything is frozen mediocrity. You can tell when you walk in: it doesn’t actually smell like donuts anymore. I know…

One of these days I will understand why S4 of Angel is so unappreciated. Actually, scratch that. I will never understand it, because S4 is awesome. It has its problems - the Cordelia stuff in particular, and especially if you know what was going on behind the scenes - but it's one of the best examples of…
