Um. It says the dark ages ended at the dawn of the 90s. You wrote a very very long post complaining about a thing the article agrees with you about in literally the first sentence.

This is dumb. The Academy Awards are awards the industry gives to itself. There is no lack of award shows that exist basically to give statues to popular shows and movies. Other than trying to stop the declining ratings, I don’t see the point in this.

The pistol kinda gives it away, doesn’t it?

“Ray Stevenson on Vikings.” That’s him in Black Sails though. lol

I think it was just presented weird, like it’s an interlude to the Mandalorian or if it wasn’t COVID (and Disney+ wasn’t slow dripping/milking the release schedule to keep me paying for it monthly/annually) this would’ve been a 4-5 episode side story that ran concurrently or leading up to the Mandalorian season 3…

I’m sittin here in my late 30's, not particularly enjoying this show.

And then Boba Fett came over the hill on a god damn rancor and I literally said “Alright they got me”.

First, this episode was wizard.

Nah. At three hours, it’s noteworthy. Maybe not newsworthy, but you get what you pay for.

The whole interview is the interviewer giving the Whedon’s rope and Whedon’s hanging himself with it.

This was an excellent article and reflected a lot of my own feelings about the Tusken storyline (and Star Wars in general).

The shows seem like an attempt to figure out what still works in Star Wars, and the answer is the universe itself, which Abrams, et al. largely ignored in favor of nostalgia and endless callbacks to the OT. It turns out that the lore aspect is much more resilient, especially in the context of a streaming show. A bad…

There is this weird contingent of fans who insist that Star Wars is deeply serious, dark, and edgy, and that any departure from that ethos or aesthetic is an insult to the franchise. But Star Wars has always been goofy and weird as hell and full of silly dad humor. I mean, Emperor Palpatine, the source of all darkness…

Not sure if the “Mod Teens” worked out, but it was a nice nod to the kids in Quadrophrenia (and very much in keeping with Star Wars’ tradition of borrowing from every damn thing).

FWIW, the series is improving with each episode and I think at least some of the criticisms that continue to get levelled at the show would have been abated if they had released the first two episodes as a premiere.

They all died in Dallas on international TV, broadcasted by NPR’s Neal Conan and engineer Manoli Wetherell.

They were given the Siege Perilous as a future ‘ticket out’ of trouble by Roma after she resurrected them and made them invisible to electronic sensors. This included Wolverine since he died and got all the X-men…

I just love seeing Temura Morrison making the Maori war faces during the fight scenes.

I only knew it was Camie because I’m old and had the captions on.

My favorite easter egg is that this is clearly a sign of Disney properties cross-pollinating. I’m of course talking about the fact that Ratatouille has clearly taken over the Rancor pit 

You’ve written some of the most important pieces for Gawker’s network of websites in the past decade. I have learned so much about our society, culture, and myself from your work, and I expect that will continue wherever you end up. Sad to see you go, but excited to follow you at your next venture!

I feel like a lot of these comments made it only a few episodes and stopped watching. If you can make it to the second half of season 1 it turns into a very different show. Season 2 is kind of the same. First half is meh and then it gets going again.
