The political situation in Texas has gotten a lot grimmer too. It already makes me cringe to think that at least one of the loveable characters would be a Trump supporter. Hank might see right through his BS but I don’t know about Bill
The Final Days of Gawker Have Come

You could just have no Dale and the recurring gag could be everyone making veiled references to “the incident with Dale.”
Mike Judge in his best Hank Hill voice, saying “a fusion chef in Dallas,” struggling audibly to figure out which precise word to put more of his good-natured contempt on.
And, god, but you can just imagine it, yeah? Mike Judge in his best Hank Hill voice, saying “a fusion chef in Dallas,” struggling audibly to figure out which precise word to put more of his good-natured contempt on.
If I had but one wish about this revival, it would be that it’s fine if Bobby’s in a relationship now, but please let it be someone other than Connie. The whole marrying your childhood sweet heart thing is creepy and sitcoms go to the well of it way too often.
Much as I’m sure we’ll all miss Johnny Hardwick, they have a great opportunity to have some meta-fun here by recasting Dale and then occasionally having someone else comment that “something seems a little different about you...” in a vaguely suspicious manner.
I mean, I care? If Star Wars had called it at 3 movies, I’d feel entirely differently about the franchise.
I’m excited, as revivals of long-dead comedies are always great and don’t have a bad track record of sucking at all!
In fact, their blind spots and rigid adherence to an outdated code make it easier to understand how Anakin became so disillusioned with the Jedi that he wound up slaughtering a temple full of them.
While I’ve never watched a Filoni animated series, I grew up as a huge SW nerd. I read all of the EU up to the Yuuzhan Vong debacle, most of the comics, and gradually lost interest.
I very much appreciate Filoni leaning hard into the idea that the Jedi Council really sucked a lot of the time. I could do without quite so much of his inexplicable obsession with making Mace Windu a hypocritical, sanctimonious asshole who’s now even partly responsible for Dooku’s disillusionment with the Jedi, but I…
I think Filoni maybe gets a little too much praise these days but I will always appreciate him fleshing out the clone troopers. In the prequels, so little time is spent with them they feel almost as robotic as the actual robots they’re fighting. By doing things like giving them names, having some have genuine…
When Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul, Filoni explains, Anakin lost the closest thing to a father figure he’d ever had. Obi-Wan reluctantly steps up to train him, but their relationship is never more than brotherly.
I’m not a scholar but right after this began Sakoku, and only Europeans allowed were the Dutch and I think the removal of Catholics from the land as deemed dangerous as a good movie to see is Silent, but not many people where allowed to come or leave and most trade was with China, Korea and the Dutch and only for…
Did I miss something or is this site just writing like two articles a day about Star Wars prequels now?
We are officially in a tv era where “mini-series” is more like a suggestion.
Indeed. On the one hand, Shogun has the advantage of real history they can draw from, that other mini series who have been in this situation do not. So here’s hoping they can stay strong, in the tradition of other shows that went past the books like The Handmaid’s Tale and The Leftovers.
Shogun was just about the perfect miniseries, and I loved it, but sure about adding more to the story. This was supposed to mirror the real-life events, and seems like the years following the events in the book were basically power consolidation and trade negotiations. Which... is fine I guess?
I would much rather they…
Awful idea
