KIRK: Anything on scanners, Mr. Spock?

It’s more of a literature lesson, really.

That’s... not even a remotely accurate representation of what I said.

So I have to ask: Is your name a combination of British media personality Pete Murray, and the Murray-Darling Basin Authority?

Lance. *rimshot*

Not to jump on the “Feige is infallible” train, but it is possible that Disney’s mandates about what the MCU needs to do have changed in the past few years, and that while Feige is still “in charge,” he’s gotten marching orders he’d rather not have from Disney.

They’re not usually slim, though.

I do not care about how it fits into the lore. I do not care if there’s “homework required” or if someone who’s never heard of Star Wars can follow what’s going on. All I care about is this:

I mean, I do prefer when journalists try to be as objective as possible, but complete objectivity is by definition impossible. Even the most fact-driven reporting makes decisions about what facts to present and how to arrange them into a narrative. That’s opinionated, by nature.

My suspicion is that the regular cast member status is to justify a pay bump; perhaps she was underpaid as guest cast in the first few seasons, so they wanted to make it up. Could be something like that.

Pfft, yeah, maybe an African griffon.

God damn, I listened to the voiceover twice and knew I recognized the voice but couldn’t figure out who it was until I saw the cast list.

Hey, at least it was a robot doing it this time.

I’m not inherently against the idea of more space opera like Star Wars; grand space adventure can be fun.

As evidenced by that scene in Raiders where the swordsman cuts Indy’s arm off.

False. Many melee weapons are pointy.

I plan to be extremely high if I ever watch this movie.

Pawpaganda!

That’s terrible.

For once, you’re telling us about salad tossing when it’s apropos.
