"The Good News" was bad?
I for one am enjoying the "Don's life is shit" aspect of this season. I think Weiner is in the process of earning some sort of Draper turnaround that we can't predict now.

I liked Romo Lampkin…and…I guess I liked Byron too. Goddamnit, his hair was amazing.

But it is a moody, artful nothing.

Yeah, I am not super-interested in the Miranda Richardson part. I wish her story would just tie into the main line and get it over with.

I have no idea where there is show is going…
And I love that I don't care. Rubicon has atmosphere to spare. I'm digging it.

The real ratings would be something more like:

Sevendeuce, don't pretend that your love of the prequels somehow reflects poorly on US.

Terminator Salvation was a masterpiece compared to Terminator 3. But, let's be honest, this all should have ended after T2.

Damn. Are you enjoying it?

Tim Leider - I think something more in line with Dune.

Yeah, but the point was he was supposed to start a new Jedi Order.

That is incorrect. Lucas had to be checked with to allow Chewbacca to die because he was a film character. He did not DICTATE the story.

I know. Hayden in ROTJ makes it hard for me to pretend that the Prequels never happened. I must get the unaltered Blu-Rays if ever they are released.

"Plus, as the expanded universe suggests, the ensuing years were much more conflicted and ambiguous than the film suggests anyway."

Luke has no reason to walk off into the sunset. His connections are to the Jedi Order and his sister. Why the hell would he leave?

No, Lucas intended the defeat of the Emperor and destruction of the Death Star to symbolize the end of the Empire.

If you wish to be a pedantic douche, at least be a pedantic douche with something relevant to say.
