Lena Healey and Jerome Flynn (Cersei Lannister and Bronn on Game of Thrones) - they've never been in a scene together, even though their characters interact in the books, and their scenes are shot in separate locations/times so the two don't have to interact with each other.

It's more the procedural stuff that bothered me. Like how she interviewed her suspects by basically playing "Yo Mama" Snaps with them like it's the Maury Povich show. I know Luke Cage is supposed to be an homage to blaxploitation, but it was so over the top I was expecting Misty to add a doo-rag to her police

Let's be real, it's the weapon. They could have stapled a Double-bladed lightsaber to a mannequin and it would have been the coolest part of the prequels.

In other words, this whole feud is fake and this is just a scam for two less-than-mediocre rap stars to milk a few more pennies out of their dying fame. I got bored with this "let's pretend we have beef because it's the only way to sell our shitty records" tactic when Fiddy and Diddy used to do it.

Now now now, commenteriat - Bo Bice may be a crayon-eating retard, but there's no reason for reverse-racism here.

Great-grandson of Trebuchet Windu, second cousin of Flamberge Windu, and may share a lineage with Japanese Jedi Wakazashi Windu.

But that LINE delivery on "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge!"

Eh, fair enough. But it was semi-decent, and it seems better than it is I guess by contrasting it with the second half. The second half was so god-awful I felt an odd sense of racial anger, like I'd just watched the superhero equivalent of Amos & Andy.

Boba Fett: "I did absolutely nothing in the films, had zero characterization, and died in a ridiculously stupid manner, yet I'm insanely popular! No one can top that!"

Thanks for the advice AVClub, but here's my television viewing plans for 2017:

I think anyone who uses the phrase "Beta Cuck" is one.

I'll have you know I have a vewwy good friend named Biggus Dickus!!!

I think the watershed moment of "fuck this bullshit" for me was last season of Daredevil, where Karen caught Matt with another woman in his bed, and Matt didn't just say "She just got stabbed by an evil ninja". Considering the strength of Matt & Karen's relationship, and the fact that they both live the kind of lives

I've been sick of "Protagonist won't tell their best friend/significant other hugely important thing" as a cheap drama mining tactic for like, decades.

This please. The only way that itch is getting scratched right now are the "Leto uses his acting power" scenes in Sense8.

And then she dumped the guy who supported her for years through her cancer, just so she could bang a stranger…

There was a time where they actually wrote about art and culture beyond the "check what's trending right now and make an article" attitude.

NO MENTION OF THE SCREAMING SQUEEZY TOY????

There's also lots of Mars when Luke actually shoots the torpedo into the Death Star port, and the same motif shows up in Aliens.

The AvClub is gradually becoming another "clickbait - pass-it-along" website. X(
