Lucas went out of his way to make the the Jedi seem boring and oppressive

This skit later in the night was deeply messed up, but it cracked me up, especially what he gave up for Lent:

Just about the best opening monologue bit they've done in the last 10 years. And like all SNL skits for the last 20 years, about 30 percent longer than it should have been.

I see what you mean, but I don't think the point of this episode was "Jamie is mysogynistic, then Claire forgives him." I think it was all about Jamie casting off his beliefs of what a marriage should be, and recognizing that he and Claire are/should be equal.

This is a show that had one great season then lingered, dying slowly for 3(?) more seasons. I don't understand how enough people thought bringing it back was a good idea for it to actually…

It's different from something like "Star Trek," which started out campy and then, especially with the J.J. Abrams stuff, became legit somehow.

I know it won't happen, but I ship Liv and Ravi so much, and it's just been two episodes. C'mon, man. He gives her brains. If that isn't the equivalent of red roses, then I'm clearly doing it wrong.

Also has reasons for doing it out of horrible pragmatism, so does not see any problem with them.

Kyubey from Madoka Magica. Gives you a wish and makes you into a powerful magical girl. Of course there is a price not really discussed openly.
