Its premise challenges the tired Star Wars “dark/light” binary

The picture here had me lost and then I looked at the Deadline article and immediately went, oh, of course. The Excelsior swagger stick captain in Star Trek III, Doogie’s dad, the SWAT LT on Hill Street - all the marks of a great character actor, where you remember the roles and not him.

Pauly Shore is beyond an asshole for basically stalking a guy who clearly relished his privacy and who was taking substantial effort to keep out of the public eye. I’m glad Simmons was able to ensure some level of protection from people prying despite this; he was a hell of a character and performer, and by most…

For those not familiar with trial procedure, judges have a wide range of sanctions available to them for attorney misconduct. This one is the equivalent of a nuclear strike.

There were some funny moments, but the longer it went, the more they had to stretch.

This was the first episode of the entire series that I’d consider decent because it finally provided both some relatively creative main plot and advanced it. That said, it still had many of the writing flaws that have been a frustrating component of the series.

While I’m glad people who invested a lot of time in the EU got a squee moment from this, the show could have done a lot better in at least providing an acknowledgement of what was going on.

Neat lightsaber battle, meh everything else. If the former is why you’re watching, more power to you for enjoying what’s increasingly reminded me of Rogue One in terms of clunky character development but makes up for it for a number of viewers with the pew pew.

3 Body Problem was good enough for this.

If you do an encore with him, the single most random role he’s probably ever played was as Ishmael in the 3 am, purchased time slot for a single airing of the one off Winter Dragon to keep the Wheel of Time series TV rights with their then-owner for another few years.

Since it hasn’t been mentioned here, his role as Clark Clifford in Path to War.

Yep. No idea if anything like that actually happened but a great plausible scene of how you got stuff done in the Soviet Union.

The Times article has several actors who make the point that screen time is a significant factor of who might win in a category, hence the concern over men dominating an open awards race. I don’t think we’d really want to see a ‘Best Primary Actor (who appeared in more than 50% of running time)’ category, but far be…

before making a mark in The Dirty Dozen, a film which led to his breakout role in M.A.S.H

Yeah, it’s been pretty amazing to see what I remember spending far too much time wondering where I was going to sit, let alone eat, let alone find a power outlet. But I think you see what I meant about JFK in comparison back then, because while it wasn’t ever a particularly good airport, LGA was so far down that it…

JFK was always just ok at best, but I’d argue a significant part of its appeal to anyone in the Tri State area came from it not being La Guardia or Newark.

One of the things that really has surprised me is just how common Roux-en-Y bypass has become for teens. Like, it’s gone from an adult, last resort, we’ve tried everything else and it’s this or your five year survival rate is dire to ‘Oh, you’re obese (and not even morbidly)? Here’s your quick fix!’

I deliberately kept the potential Rashomon effect out of this post because it was more about pointing out that Whitbrook was claiming things that weren’t actually displayed on screen and because I wanted to see what they did next week before really getting into it.

Osha and Mae were a product of a virgin birth: that Aniseya used her connection to what she refers to as “the Thread” to create the twins, while Koril carried them to term.
