Why the fuck would the Fox News crowd be upset about this shit? It’s depicting their own demons (THOSE DARNED LIBRULS) capturing and hunting REAL AMERICANS (anyone that agrees with them) and the REAL AMERICANS (main protagonist is a white lady) are the victims and heroes, which is exactly what they keep telling their…

There’s nothing I love more than being told by the media and bad faith right-wingers that we need “heal and come together” with a bunch of insane assholes who think climate change isn’t real, healthcare isn’t meant for poor losers, throwing terrified brown kids in cages is totally fine, and that things like laws and…

... extreme views on both sides ...

• The title of the episode is “The End is the Beginning”

Ahem. The worst rom com ever made would be that Harrison Ford/Anne Heche debacle... 

Ah, yes, that’s a good correction. I could 100% see Ken Jennings being a great host, as would Brad. But if they gave it to James, I would never watch another episode. There’s something very off-putting and smug about him.

sorry, i meant brad would also do a good job.  i think james would do a terrible job.

This is the thing that annoys me about the complaints being levied against the show for not “sticking to the story”. The whole thing is the story! This isn’t a miniseries that needs to be laser-focused and its job is to explore the Galaxy and color in more of the pages that we generally don’t see outside of the…

I assumed Germain meant they were foreshadowing IG-11 avenging his ‘dad’ not that IG-11 killed Kuiil - though that might just be because it’s a plot point I’m anticipating 

Yeah, I’m not really sure I get the comment about preferring it as a movie. Sure, the vignette-style episodes haven’t been as metaplot heavy, but for a series, nay franchise, that focuses way too much on plot to the detriment of character and atmosphere, I’ve gotta say the Mandalorian has been an extremely welcome…

I can’t say I shared the frustration. Even with the recruitment scenes and backstory I felt it moved swiftly and had solid tension that built throughout.

After a few tangent episodes, The Mandalorian is back on target with its latest episode

I like that he’s not demonizing rich people and threatening to break up large, successful businesses for being, like, too large and successful, I guess?

I wouldn’t even say that he’s not a Republican

...yet he forgot to do anything in his life to deserve the black vote.

There is . . . either an essay to be written, or nothing at all to be said about this episode. So what I’ll say is that one of my favorite things about speculative fiction is that every once in a while, an episode or a movie comes out of nowhere and just hits you as not only cunningly well-designed, but as noted in…

There is no answer, but the answer is Eleanor.

I only recently discovered that George V allowed Nicolas II and his family to be slaughtered and I was absolutely horrified. While I understand the worries about how it would be received by the British public the conditions in Russia that lead to the Revolution were very particular and don’t have many direct…

Ok, boomer.
