I got into Sherlock first and was determined to not touch Elementary because of preconceived notions regarding a female Watson. However, caving in and binge watching Elementary’s first two seasons was one of the best decisions I made. I was blown away by the quality of interactions and characterisations of all the…
BB-8 is a droid and therefore has no gender. You can say “her” if you want.
Unpopular Opinion: I don’t want to read any more books based on The Holocaust. Sarah’s Key, The Lampshade, The Book Thief, Number the Stars, All the Light We Cannot See...
They do, but only to terrible schools where they are about to drop out until some middle-age white man having a mid-life crisis really connects with them.
What about a multi-episode Ken Burns-esque documentary series about the Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire?
Of course not—”not enough pilots” is my SECOND problem with Star Wars.
Seriously. We need a Rogue Squadron show like now.
I too have spent many a drunken rant explaining why it would be great.
Top Gun ft. Poe Dameron. Includes Space Volleyball scene.

I’ve seen it about 3 times myself and his face never elicited any laughs from the audience.
I really want to hang out with Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac.
Regarding Sinjir’s sexuality, I think its (lack of) significance in the story is exactly what makes it important. He’s not gay because the plot needs him to be gay; he’s gay because some people are, and it would be ridiculous to not have any gay characters represented in the universe, while straight characters get to…
Wouldn’t Owen need an actual relationship with Anakin to feel this way? I don’t remember one. Or am I just blocking the prequels that much?
Who sings first? You sing first? I sing first?
THEN DEATH BY TRAY IT SHALL BE
Driver’s deadpan face is what sell it. I got a hunch that outside of character he must be one of those really likable guys, charming and telling the best jokes. Those are usually the guys who can best play the straight face persona (for reference, see Dwayne Johnson).
