It's implied to be able to move from star to star, the bigger issue was addressing where it was firing. The core systems like Corusant are far away from this implied region and then….Argh, it just hurts my head. V_V

Finn definitely has a thing for Rey, Po has a thing for Finn, this is kind of a subtle nod towards what they did with A New Hope where Luke was flat out trying to get Leia in bed and only addressed it in Return of the Jedi when they were made aware of their sibling status.

The Republic stood for 6000 years prior to Vader/Palpatine. Before that, the Sith had waged wars and almost won a few times (it seems to crop up every 100-400 years or so). But the restoration of balance seemed to be that Palpatine had managed to destroy the Republic's bulwark of good from the inside. But 7 kind of…

He was….He failed. Luke brought balance for a time….he failed now because Disney needs the money. It was pretty clearly outlined in 6 that Luke took over Anakin's destiny more or less.

To be a Mary Sue is such an unfair thing to lob at a main character. Under those narrow definitions Harry Potter, John McClain, Batman, Hawkeye, and Rogue of the X-men (and kitty pride in the newer ones), would all count. She's not really that young, If we accept that Ridley is 23 in the film or atleast close to that…

I want to watch John Boyega act forever. He was the redemption of this movie so completely and without help (Daisy Ridley wasn't bad…but her character was written like Nell).

Or you know….They share an ethnographic relationship. Being of English descent means they're going to look similar and frankly the side-by-sides are at just the ethnic level. They don't look like family, they don't look like sisters, they look like people who came from a shared genetic pool at a geographic level.

Finally seeing it I wasn't disappointed so much as saddened. If eps. 4-6 were well-balanced action adventure movies and 1-3 focused more on drama and political intrigue, ep. 7 seems to have been aggressively written as an action film. No drama, no major character development, just aggressive action scenes and little…

There are strong implications that she was in early jedi training under Luke. There are even possible (but may be ignored) possibilities that she is Luke's Daughter, establishing a family connection and explaining her innate talents growing so fast.

Is it trolling or serious when you mention Tarantino since he's been an outspoken progressive and has made serious efforts to cast non-white and female actors into roles that aren't merely hackneyed caricatures. Death Proof has three interesting and distinct female characters that break much of the traditional…

I feel bad for never knowing his name but clearly he would be a good fit for the Star Trek series creator even writing in the altered universe to bring it back down to a more formal drama. It just seems like the high brow writer/creator that nobody wants to hire because he plays to a certain audience. Shame really,…

I'm going to just leave it as the writer of this review is simply off the mark. It's probably one of the better episodes in years and definitely overtakes the latter future episodes where the world is in shambles and Bart is a complete waste of space. I know it mimics boyhood but it feels like they added a layer of…

AV Club is not a great place to vent about those kinds of issues. Too many swarmy privileged kids who want to tell you your life's work is crap. I try not to worry about them but it's always painful to lose a person to such a tremendous tragedy. If you ever need to vent there are people who will gladly listen. :)

His voice isn't as rich, it sounds like it's just a mixing issue but it's actually something I may play for the holiday party just to screw with some of my indie friends…

It seems kind of obvious today but in 1977 they were in the throws of new cinema, movies like the Godfather Part II, Annie Hall, and the rest were coming out. Nobody believed a hokey sci-fi movie would play out the same way. But it was cyclical and the kids who grew up with Buck Rodgers and the 1950's sci-fi were…

Lucas made a number of good films and I'll actually defend his re-released original trilogy and the prequels to some extent (they were meant for a new generation and older fanboys freaked out more or less). It's just clear that he didn't know what to do with the Universe after the original three. Timothy Zahn came…

I don't know about that any more. I think if we're defining 'white liberals' who vote Democratic in elections, I doubt they would be as up in arms about school redistricting to create desegregated districts (since busing is still used to some extent but most districts are homogenized).

I know that people have been down on Gaga this whole time but in this episode she's gotten her identity down. She'll never be an amazing actress but she's definitely found a groove in this episode. Evan Peters though once again shows why he should have been the lead of this season. He went from playing a Preston…

No, I waited too long and they all turned to goo. : (

The rats still get in and out, that's how the two of them survived nearly 80 years.
