…What?

At this point, I'm kinda mad they still Shameless. I'm glad she's getting paid, but I want to see her in something a little more…consistent.

I agree. "What if Darth Vader were actually the logical extension of the whiny asshole we showed you in the prequels" is a pretty clever move. Also, kind of hilarious.

They didn't sacrifice Han so much as he got ganked by a laser in an intergalactic prison shower.

I see your point, but if the AT-AT also just kinda immediately fell over because sand : AT-ATs : : stairs : ED-209? I'd be delighted.

He's gone from "sporadically brilliant but unethical," to "under appreciated but surprisingly competent," to "completely incapable of

I agree with you to point. I thought the opening half of the season was brilliant and nicely hinged on the characters and their emotions. Then, it got waaaaay up its own ass, lost track of its characters, and had seemingly no idea how to round out the narrative it had started so confidently. Some of it I guess you can
