It could…also be that they aren’t finished editing the final 2 episodes (as the writers responded to Stephen King saying as much):

Should be worth about 1.27 extra on her Spotify check. Pounds even; not dollars!

Arguably the most important meeting in Star Wars history

Much like Stranger Things S4 being released across two months makes financially more sense for Netflix, writing two blogs about the same news item makes financially more sense for io9.

Thus far, the only bloat was the first two episodes. They could’ve tucked all of the angsty bits into one episode.

I also thought they might do something different, probably the same thing you thought. But no, they just turned the crazy dial up to 11 after that. Then they broke the knob off the dial, got out the Sawzall, cut open the crazy machine, and overclocked that sucker till it started small fires on the desk.

Gerald Fried (Amok Time) & Sol Kaplan (Doomsday Machine) did so much of TOS’ music.

To be honest, the Golden Age of TV is great and all, but I’m a little annoyed that everything is a super special limited event cinematic drama masterpiece these days. I know there’s still plenty dross out there too, but I miss something like the humble basic cable light drama—your Leverages, your Burn Notices, your…

Am I the only one who thinks that quarry duel wasn’t “the” rematch they were hyping, but just a warmup, and Obi-Wan will get some of his mojo back before the real showdown in the season finale?

“the ultimate evil, the terror and the power, the Big Badass.”

The movie was fun and she was great. I don’t really get the glowing reviews. It’s a big, loud, dumb, fun, summer movie that leans very heavily on nostalgia for the first one. It has as much (or more) shot-for-shot and scene-for-scene stuff as recent Star Wars or Star Trek, but it seems to be getting a pass for all…

Do you know why there are usually between zero and a few, seen briefly only, background characters or extras on this series? Out of an on the whole fantastic show, the only distraction is that, episode after episode, it appears that this ship is empty, with a crew of maybe twelve shown during the first half of the…

I just love Jess Bush. She is dynamite on the screen.

The real cheerleading—the cheerleading that I know and love—is nothing like what it’s been depicted as (save for Netflix’s Cheer docuseries and Bring It On’s racially diverse and entrepreneurial Clovers led by Gabrielle Union). The real cheerleading is a sport, not a clique of spoiled brats.

Homely? That girl is beautiful! 

One of my favorite things about Stranger Things is how they turned the ‘alpha bully’ trope on its head with Steve. He started out as a shitty, abusive jock, then learned and evolved and became one of the series’ most lovable characters.

Is the dead cheerleader a stereotypical trope? Absolutely. But to point out Chrissy’s character is notably different than the cheerleaders who died before her, only to ignore how that defense essentially contradicts your general argument that her death is “carrying out the natural ending for a whoring villain” is...…

Isn’t the whole point of Stranger Things the repetition of tropes from 1980s adventure/sci-fi/teen movies? It’s all deliberate homage.

In: writing bad articles about other articles.

How about Obi Wan getting impatient and getting caught being his fault and having some consequences from that?
