He did some really incisive interviews when he had a good guest on, but I think the sycophancy grew over time. I can’t remember which episode it was, but the guest was starting to make a statement, and Hardwick jumped all over them in his rush to demonstrate that he shared their viewpoint. The guest then said, “No,…

“Instagram model.”

Easy. The instant Anakin Force-choked her, her latent abilities activated and she instantly learned all his powers, Rey-style.

Oh, so you’re saying she’s not as hot as his sister?

Canon is not having a bunch of larger, more advanced-looking cruiser classes around overshadowing your dozen or so Class One Constitution-class starships.

We’re excepting Enterprise Season 3 from that measure, right?

Oh, yes, by far. I’m sure Zack would know better than me, though.

IIRC, it’s not subtext. They rent a room at the inn with two beds, but are both sleeping in one of them when a man is chased through their room.

Yeah, but these days, you hear more and more people saying what a great idea it was! /s

Fronzel’s mother: “Don’t be silly! My son’s not missing. Why, I just talked to him day before yesterday.”

Replacing Michael K. Williams with international A-list superstar Paul Bettany ain’t cheap.

Sneaking into the slight gap between Solo and Incredibles 2/Jurassic World 2. Upgrade, at least, exceeded its box office projections, and being one of their microbudget genre flicks, should already have turned a profit.

And the boards were all text-based, so they loaded quickly and we had freaking killfiles for the trolls.

Fuck that guy, though; his side job nearly got her nuked, nearly got her stabbed by a sociopath, and did get her thrown off the ship in a vac suit. She has no reason to lie to save the guy from being arrested for what he did.

But Butler can actually turn off his accent when he has to, whereas Gadot isn’t there yet. Also, none of the Viking kids have an accent, and they’re most of the main characters.

I actually liked that one and kept it, unlike any of the Shannaras.

One of the few series I just got fed up with and didn’t bother to finish. I think I was 80 pages from the end of the third book, and was just wishing all the “good guys” would die.

Yeah, but endless chasms are just part of the architecture. I laughed when that guy fell in and a torrent of red armor shot up, because the Big Bad wore a long gold bathrobe, and I was imagining him catching a hem and getting sucked in one morning on his way to the coffee pot. Why would someone who dresses that way…

Judging by the box office grosses, you won’t be the first.

Yep, interacted with the other actors in the shot, and also wore stilts because his character was so tall. You can even see Tudyk in the suit running with the others in one of the beach scenes in the trailer because they didn’t finish the CGI. So the only contrast would seem to be not having oddly-shaped droid parts…
