Rebels is great, and he’s great in it, but calling Thrawn a Rebels character sure does rub me the wrong the way.

The last decade of television has convinced me that ‘perpetual misery’ is nothing but a juvenile pantomime of actual drama.

Yeah that’s a good description. Watched four episodes: I don’t hate it - I find Carrell and Malkovich very compelling - but it does feel kind of like a hybrid, tripping over its own (very impressive but tonally odd) cinematography.

This may sound strange, but I feel like the show should either be funnier or less funny.…

I’ve got an ad-blocker.

Literally never seen or heard of this game until this moment.

I’m in Canada, so $450 sound super cheap to me. I’ve seen them as high as a grand here.

Nathan Fillion isn’t aging and it’s really starting to worry me.

Decker: The Series is just Star Trek: The Motion Picture shot entirely from Deckar’s POV.

There’s a lot of him sitting on the brdige, wondering idly what the Admiral and his staff are doing.

... I’d watch it.

If you then told me I’d end up feeling nostalgic for Enterprise’s level of faithfulness to the franchise’s values, I’d have tried to have you comitted.

And yet, here we are.

Just

And I the same to you, given that Presidential primaries and Presidential elections are very different contexts that historically have had very different turn-outs among youth voters, who tend to vote more in elections than they do in primaries.

Contextually, the distinction matters a heck of a lot.

“Ask Bernie how it worked for him either time.” Given that Bernie was never on the ticket for a presidential election, this seems like a weird thing to ask him.

Speaking as a Canadian we all groaned when the entire establishment lined up behind Biden since he was the weakest possible choice, based entirely on this unhinged belief that a dislike of Trump saves the Democratic party from having to donor say anything to appeal to anyone but their literally rapidly-dying…

Also I’m fairly certain we don’t permit civilians to own rocket launchers.

Because why the ever-loving fuck would you allow civilians to own rocket launchers?

“Pugs haven’t evolved in 8,000 years but that’s okay because they’re perfect just as they are.”

I mean no. No, Pugs are categorically flawed from an evolutionary standpoint. We broke them. We took a perfectly good dog and we broke it.

Choosing to present Peter Parker over Miles’ actual, alive, and genuinely excellent father is a baffling decision.

Having finally seen RoS for the first-and-hopefully-only time a couple weeks ago, this line sums up that movie’s entire problem in the most demoralizing way.

‘That’s the good news.’

No, it’s not. This is, hands-down, the least interesting, most obvious idea you could have done in this show.

I am thinking back on Gaiman’s work and largely being baffled at these constant references to steampunk.

American Gods isn’t steampunk. Neither is Neverwhere, The Sandman, his good or bad episodes of Doctor Who, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Good Omens, Anasi Boys, Coraline, The Graveyard Book, Norse Mythology,…

People had a lot of negative things to say about Bill Cosby for a very long time, it’s just that nobody spread them very far because they didn’t want to think about it.

So he wasn’t even playing a character.
