I would love to see one of Melabia’s SoulCycle classes. I wonder what it looks like for someone to have spent so many years trying to create a soul for themselves.

That’s what makes the most sense to me. The slow from-behind walk looked like Reynolds for sure.

You know, I could have gone for that degree in electrical engineering, like my Mom and Dad wanted me to, and right now I’d have a solid, useful career with job security that’s somewhat useful to society. Or alternatively, I could have said “fuck society, me me me,” and I could have got an MBA , and I might be making…

Pronounce it as a soft “th”.

It is a Greek sourced word, NO discussion necessary... :)

Octopi is only valid if there are 25.1327412... of them.

Octopus is a Greek work. Pluralizing with an i is Latin. Octopi doesn’t make much sense. Octopodes is strictly correct for Greek, but really, octopuses is all you need.

“The plural is octopuses. Why do some dictionaries also list octopi as a possibility? In Latin, some plurals end with an i. The problem is, octopus derives from Greek.”

“Octopuses” is the only correct answer. Like, for real, y’all.

Octopodes

“Because you sort of go, ‘Oh this is a movie where, folks, just look—everyone is going to die.’

It also pays off Rey’s journey as established in TFA far better than any grand reveal of significant parentage would have. Rey is unable to join the surrogate family Han offers her, or initially to seek the destiny offered to her by the Force, because of her obsession with her parents. Getting over that fixation was a…

Yes, and it makes her character even better. She’s awesome because of what she does and the content of her character, not because of ancestry.

I agree, and I really, really hope JJ follows through on it and doesn’t muck it up. The mystery box has to die. Kill it if you have to, JJ.

God, I was so relieved when her parentage was revealed in Jedi. I was dreading the whole lead-up to the inevitable reveal, because any possible narrative tying her into the original trilogy would feel so contrived and watery. Both the reveal and Kylo’s casually cruel delivery of it was one of the most satisfying parts…

Yeah, it sounds like “She wants to still be involved in their lives, while I would rather treat them as distant friends. People I was at one time close with.”

Or the kids have been so sick that they’ve missed a lot of school, not to mention the repercussions of not having access to clean water. And the implication that a parent isn’t “decent” if they couldn’t leave the area is really fucked up, btw. Even middle and upper class people probably have a hard time leaving, how…

Yes.
