Recently picked up a free-to-play game and looked at their subscriber program. $7.99 a month is pretty typi... wait.... that says a WEEK! $7.99 a week. No, fuck that. Game is getting deleted.

Her questioning made Ford even more relatable that she might have been otherwise.

He sees the opportunity to become the new AG, and a stalwart defender is exactly what the big man (with little hands) wants.

I felt like they spent 9 episodes building up stuff and then 20 minutes at the end of the last episode remembered and said, “Oh yeah! Uhm, remember all these mysteries we were building up through the season? We, uh, well, we’ll address them next season. We promise!”

I agree. I’m repeatedly amazed how much he gets fawned over in the me-too era. He’s cringingly handsy and lack-of-personal-spacey in public.
