I went straight to the comments because I assumed there was one! I’m going to have to remember this about the site, now.

“What was Mandalore Doing When The Force Awakened?” Minding their own damned business, that’s what.

I KNOW I’m supposed to play this way to maximize my victories, but I find it difficult to do so. I don’t know why.

I like it, too. I think the franchise has suffered by focusing so much on Jedis (and their not very great organization) and specifically Skywalkers, so having the series focus on Mandalorians (and even having Grogu choose them rather than the Jedis) is refreshing. I’m not too worried, either, that whatever happens is

Spy is by far the superior movie, but I genuinely enjoyed Ghostbusters, and if I catch it on TV I will watch it. I loved McKinnon’s character and how weird she was allowed to be without being pathetic.

Screw Bond, I think Spy should have been a franchise. The movie was delightful, and notable for having so many female characters with different personalities, motives, and relationships to McCarthy’s character.

I’ll confess, the headline horrified me — the French cafe across from my work makes the best flaky, buttery, authentic croissants, and I can’t imagine doing anything to them because they are perfect as is. But in the article you specify store-bought croissants, and suddenly it all makes sense. I may try this!

Wait, his his name Jamie (as you spelled it in the article) or Jaime (as pronounced in the preview)?

I marinate my chicken in adobo, oil, and vinegar for a few (or a bunch of) hours before cooking. I’m worried the boiling water would wash away too much of the marinade, but maybe enough flavor would stick around. Hmm ...

I’m just going to enjoy this show for as long as we have it, and not wonder about the whys.

OMG, I can’t decided if this is evil, brilliant, or both.

Gen Xer here, and I am also here for it!

I love this show, but I’ve become increasingly obsessed with how unsustainable the extremist Mandalorian life is. Eating communally is a major bonding exercise in almost every culture ever, yet these guys only ever eat in isolation? Are all the children foundlings, or are they being conceived and born without anyone

The Spanish dish pan con tomate uses grated tomato. If you to be really fancy, rub a garlic clove against a toasted piece of good bread, and then grate the tomato against the bread.

The opening music video alone is worth the rental.

That’s a good idea. I loved Monk the character and enjoyed Monk the show, but I didn’t necessarily need entire seasons of it; a series of TV movies (kinda like what Psych has done) would have been more effective.

My brother is arriving on St. Patrick’s day, and we already agreed no Irish food, but I think I will make an exception for this.

There will not be a happy ending for Barry, and I hope not for Fuchs, but I sure hope Cousineau gets one. Maybe he can sell the rights to his bonkers story about a murderous acting student and retire to a life a luxury with his family.

Philby’s story is fascinating, and has a bunch of weird little unexplained details. Which Tim Powers used to create a supernatural reason for Philby’s actions and the rise and fall of the USSR in his “secret history” novel Declare. I strongly recommend it.

Me neither! I’m especially looking forward to Fosse-style choreography being used for silly purposes.
