Rubio also lacks the magic Cruz touch, where most normal humans find him more and more creepy the longer they’re exposed to him. The man is the human embodiment of the “Uncanny Valley”.

Yup - it’s amazing how good this show is, and how bad the X-Files was in comparison. Stilted, boring, totally lacking in any chemistry between the characters. It’s like watching a table reading.

Objectively, how is Earth not the weirdest planet in the solar system?

I’d rather see them let us down that way than do something that would make the TV shows suck. At this point, except for Guardians and Ant-Man, I’m enjoying all the TV / netflix stuff more than the movies.

With their apparent family dynamic, he was probably sweating whether or not she’d actually do this.

This is still less creepy than Cruz’ mother in his video, who said she prayed for him several times a day (which you’d only do if he was in great physical danger -not - or you believed his soul was in peril), and was so…

Fucking Voyage of the Damned. Doctor being carried up the ship by the angellic Host. That, along with the fucking psychically-floating restored Jesus-Doctor in Last of the Time Lords.

Davies was not subtle.

Should be noted that Mary Dye was appointed to her seat in May 2015 after her predecessor resigned after a scandal of some sort. If she’s planning on running for reelection, it’ll clearly be a campaign to watch.

In all fairness, he didn’t say they’d have to comply with current labor standards or laws involving working conditions, safety, hours, and wages.

Yeah, I’d like to see some prosecutions for “offical misconduct”.

Yeah, resenting a “servant’s entrance” and complaining about the fact that the owners won’t make repairs on the “poor side” is class warfare.

I love “Deathstorm”. Always makes me think of the Mitchell & Webb “Are we the baddies” bit.

I’m OK with this, as long as it doesn’t reduce the chance for a second series of Jessica Jones.

The Khmer Rouge used kids this age and younger as soldiers and executioners. ISIS is doing the same thing today. I’m not going to try to guess what these kids have been exposed to, and what else is going on, but you can’t assume that kids won’t do horrible shit, especially in a group.

That’s why (in general) I think…

Isn’t there a looming coffee shortage? That makes this seem like a terrible idea. Can’t get behind diverting beans away from coffee, unless they’re garbage to begin with.

Also, right now my coffee intake (black) is essentially a zero-calorie exercise - not going to give that up!

Maybe what sold Fett was the appearance in the Holiday Special cartoon plus the mail-away offer for the action figure. Basically, there was hype about the character before ESB ever came out.

That’s incredible.

Let’s remember - he’s the weakest (constitutionally) governor in the country. It’s barely a “real” job, so yeah, he has tons of time on his hands. He's not even responsible for proposing a budget.

I remember at the time that the Japanese were referring to this sort of public display/embarrasment as Bushu-suru

The idea of heroes having to worry about things like workers comp insurance and an HR department (including suitable work attire) could be pretty great.

I certainly hope we get at least a lengthy subplot in a Kenobi film about how he arrives on Tatooine and spends some time practicing using the Force to keep sand out of uncomfortable places.
