"She blew…a bubble……and she blew….a bee"

Isn't it pronounced "Mortal Combat Ten"? I always thought any roman numerals were meant to be pronounced as numbers.

"He was being both flattering and polite"

"Have you ever rented a microwave? Have you ever leased a toaster?"

Maybe you should trust that your friend is capable of making their own decisions. Maybe you also shouldn't presume that you know what's best for other people.

I really like that interpretation. Would be nice to see a writer tackle it in this manner.

"I think in a healthy relationship it can often get to the point where the two people know most of each others passwords just out of convenience and trust more than anything else"

I haven't. Thanks for the recommendation!

My wife and I know our email passwords and social media passwords. Mainly because we each use the same password for pretty much everything. I don't think it's all that uncommon.

Something I've never seen a writer tackle with telepathy is that we don't always think in speech form. I know that when I'm thinking about doing tasks, I'm often just thinking thoughts/images/ideas, not coherent strings of words. People aren't walking around all day narrating their entire lives in their heads.

I'm not sure I agree.

I agree with you for the most part, though some other commenters have pointed out that perhaps Vader wasn't even aware of Luke's birth until after the first Death Star battle. This could be the case considering he's not even aware of Leia until he reads Luke's mind in RoTJ. If that were the case, then the whole…

It's not explicitly stated but it's clearly implied that the Lars family (Owen and Beru) and Anakin/Vader were from Tatooine. From the film:

Obi-Wan: "He didn't hold with your father's ideals; he felt he should've stayed here and not gotten involved."

Dark.

Yes, this always bothered me as well. There's really no way to rationalize it either, the aesthetic of the prequels is just completely off.

The place you're describing is obviously not the type of establishment people are referring to when they say, "don't bring your baby to a bar".

You nailed it. This misguided notion of "the American Dream", that anyone can succeed as long as they work hard, is perpetuated by people exactly like this.

I agree, and when service is under par I'll sometimes leave 10% in lieu of my usual 20%. However, there was obviously a major issue with the service according the McCoy. Bad enough that it clearly warranted a discussion wit the manager.

I don't agree with PYT's decision to publicly shame McCoy but I also don't agree with the way he chose to handle things. He should have asked to speak to a manager and explained what the issue was, and the manager would have taken care of it.

It just doesn't look appetizing.
