*drags dead puppy for a walk*

I'd forget my ass if it wasn't so big.

A random, absurd, outta-nowhere "ending" to an episode is far more common in AD! than one with an "emotional wallop."

Season 2 also ended with a strong run of episodes, episodes that were generally cohesive with good character work and significantly more impressive visuals. Ten credits says that season 4 will have the same drop in quality until its final 5-6 episodes.

Same. The third season has some good stuff, but overall the storytelling's a mess. I think the guys were more interested in prompting cyberpunk anime fights and driving the plot forward. Sure, they tried something interesting with Korra in season 4, but I thought they totally bungled the execution. Korra was never as…

Or 3 or 4.

How many times can one man watch Harry and the Hendersons??

NO.

So is JOHNSON!

Doesn't explain Moon!

Fucking heathens.

It was a corker, but! I also relistened to the Stephanie and Elizabeth episode this weekend and realized that was ignored in this fine feature. Which is criminal, because it's got two Hayes lines that bussed me up good, which I will reproduce to the best of my ability below, after this colon here:

I can see not liking it… but him trying to stifle his giggle while he waits for everyone else to get Gilly's Encino joke is delightful.

And? You're free to call that safe logic racist, though I suspect that classification won't find much purchase outside of the already-convinced.

That's nice, but you're not the one putting down a couple hundred million dollars of your company's money on that gamble. It could still get good reviews and good word-of-mouth, but it also draws in more people who want to see that new Scarlett Johansson flick. (word-of-mouth is also easier when everyone knows who the…

Because it's an American movie for American audiences. And probably Chinese audiences. And this particular white actress is the highest grossing actor working today.

I can't make that judgment until Disney makes their Grave of the Fireflies.

That was the only other time I could think of when they are in the same area, and Vader was a little preoccupied at the moment. Perhaps he does spot the droids as the blast doors are closing, and we simply don't hear him say, "R2? The hell?"

And most importantly, the show established a strange but effective bond between Anakin and R2-D2; both would go through some crazy adventures to save the other, nonsensical human/droid dichotomy be damned. (If I remember correctly, Ahsoka actually questions Anakin on this, and his reply acknowledges the oddness of…
