I think for Rebecca her sexuality is so tied up in her neuroses that she might not be able to tell if she's bi, or just dangerously obsessed with Josh and everything he touches. Sort of a comment on how "romance" and true self-knowledge becomes nearly impossible when it's so wrapped up in your entire sense of self…

Eww. I thought the dream was to have Lily Aldrin be, like, your best friend's mom.

Josh is clearly leading Rebecca on to some extent. He's playing both sides in a pretty douchey way with his body language and such towards Rebecca. I know that our perspective in the show is warped through Rebecca's perspective, but it really seems to me like that's the intention in how they're depicting him.

It had some of the expected second-episode roughness, but this made a lot of good moves in terms of the plot and, thankfully, it was funny. They could have easily dragged out the Josh-stalking for three or four episodes, but the writers made the right choice here by mixing things up quickly. Getting everyone…

I would agree with this. All that I remember from the rest of the movie can be summarized as young Natalie Portman + lots of useless spinning.

The actual mechanics of running a galaxy-spanning empire are completely ridiculous. Paul Krugman actually once wrote an interesting paper about trade mechanics in a universe with intensely relativistic travel. But the whole idea of having a relatively connected, culturally homogeneous empire that spans so many…

Your optimism is admirable. Let's hope for the best.

The milky way is only a few hundred thousand light years in diameter. There are actually ultra-compact galaxies as small as a 100 ly. And the smallest satellite galaxy of the milky way has only 1000 stars. It's very petite!

Well since he turned Star Trek into a series of magic teleportation cross-galaxy japes, I'm just a little skittish.

PESSIMISTICALLY CAUTIOUS!

Some galaxies are actually quite small.

But aren't you guys excited to get back to hating an ineffectual, shoddy, disappointing Liberal government, as opposed to a semi-ineffectual, vaguely menacing Tory one?

God damn it, Abrams, when will you learn? Spaceships belong in space. They're not called "let's-go-back-to-Tatooine-for-the-n-teenth-time-ships". Space ships. You need to let them fly! In space! It's what they were meant to do. (Well, maybe not X-wings, since they have an unnecessarily aerodynamic design… but that's…

I confuse that one with "Triad" for some strange reason.

WHAT ELSE COULD IT POSSIBLY MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE WE'VE GOT ABOUT A MILLION JEDI AND ONLY TWO OR THREE SITH

It's really hard when you're the kind of person who can't help but envision fit, rugged, oily gay bodies everywhere you look.

The "J.J. Abrams Big Book of Plots" actually only has two entries in it. So it was a choice between either "gigantic superweapon" or "confusing time travel". Take your pick.

The poster was reportedly created by a fan named Bryan Morton

I believe the "Sun Crusher" worked by looking at the stars from very far away, so that they were so tiny they could be crushed between its thumb and forefinger.

It's less of a "Death Star" and more of a … "Mortality Space-Orb".
