As someone who still doesn't have a Facebook, that Like-wall sounds horrible. I never got a MySpace, I'm not getting a Facebook. Stop assuming I need one, entire rest of the internet!

I was riffing off your "It's exciting that they're doing Star Wars stories that fit into the canon of the movies." remark. A story involving Jar Jar would fit the canon of the movies more than a story involving Thrawn. The canon of the movies isn't always better. I love the EU so I'm always a little sensitive when it

Wenk!

George Lucas had first right of approval on all the old EU. He vetoed things multiple times. So whatever problems you can say about the old EU, they were vetted by George.

Word is that George was forced to make Greedo shoot first for the Special Edition release of ANH. Back in 1977, PG-13 didn't exist, so Han shooting a guy "in cold blood" was too much for a PG, but not enough for an R, so they had to go with PG. By 1997, PG-13 existed and the movie had to be recertified, and it was

Especially with how Palpatine consolidated power in himself alone, with no plans for succession after him because that would imply he could die or fail. When you rule with an iron fist, your empire tends to fall apart into many rivaling factions when you die. See also the Roman Empire.

Someone's talking about Battlestar Galactica? I don't see your other reviews in at least the previous 2 days of WOT. Where else can I find you talking about BSG? Is there an archive of WoTs with BSG reviews?

I loved Justin Long's bored reaction to getting a new shirt.
I already have another shirt. I don't need "another" another shirt.
Exactly the guy reaction to getting a new shirt.

And while he's dying, a passing minister says it's a good thing because he gets to see Jesus because he converted back to God as he lay dying! That's literally part of the movie's feel-good happy ending. It's so terrible.

It bugs me to this day that Order of the Phoenix was the longest book but the shortest movie. How do they manage that?

How in the hell would anyone fall for the Bellas looking alike? They've spent a few years diversifying themselves, no way anyone would fall for it anymore. Is the ref just the perfect gentleman who has chest blindness? Or maybe he didn't look at their faces and hair? That was a forced twin magic ending.

Yeah, AVC judges whether to do reviews by how many comments the episode reviews get! More comments is better!

And each day's episode reruns right after the new one the next day. So you can see this episode at 6:15 today! Or today's at 6:15 tomorrow! Etc!

Will it take all week for WOT to remember that AT is on all week? I hope all us AT fans realize it's on without WOT to tell us. I only knew because of a comment in last week's AT review's comments forewarning me.

Wait, are you talking about his Boyd or his Venus Van Damme? He got nominations for two wildly different characters. Both were pretty good and stole their every scene. You probably meant Justified, but his Sons appearances were surprisingly LGBT-friendly for a show about murderous bikers.

Over the Garden Wall! I forgot it aired in the past year. It needs more awards!

Let's pretend Seth MacFarlane won the genius award for getting Cosmos brought back for an amazing new series. He had minimal influence in the actual writing or production, but he's the entire reason FOX gave it a shot and aired it in primetime on Sundays. So I'll pretend he won the genius award for Cosmos: A Spacetime

I hope Oliver still covers each AT episode this week despite its non-mention in today's WOT. Can he handle 4 normal episodes and a double length episode in one week? CAN WE?

The more promos I see of World, the more I see it's desperately trying to copy JP1. The i-rex attacking the kids in their ball transport is JW's version of the t-rex attacking the kids in the jeep in JP1. The "kids alone in a transport being attacked by a dangerous alpha predator theropod" thing is apparently a

I particularly like when Daily Show zings at Fox News and they fire back with a "nuh-uh!" and then Daily Show zings back with "yes-huh, and here's footage from your own network showing we didn't make up these bad things you said!"
