I’m honestly sad to hear he’s stepped down.

To be clear, I’m not saying that they should not try to fix mistakes out of some avoidance of fan feedback. They should have done a better job the first time, and hopefully if someone presents a similar tonally dissonant type of thing in the future they’ll think better of it. They shouldn’t spend time trying to fix it…

The egg-eating thing kind of wrecked the episode for me because it introduced a weird tension that never went anywhere. We had a stranger with priceless cargo, about whom we knew nothing. What was going to happen when she figured out her eggs were disappearing? Why wasn’t the Mandalorian more worried about it? Why are…

It was not funny. I was horrified

Agreed - if that was an attempt at humor, it fell flat. I won’t go as far as others calling the egg-eating gag “horrifying”, but I also didn’t find it particularly funny, just a little too cringy and repetitive. Like a drunken uncle.

I really thought that making it a running gag was going to lead to an exploration of Mando’s empathy.

First time it was funny, 2nd, 3rd and 4th times it was just horrifying.

Yeah, uh, fuck this bullshit?

Right, not everything needs to be high brow, but even low brow entertainment should avoid being bad, or in this case unintentionally horrific. I’ll never understand the people who take the position that it doesn’t matter how dumb, illogical, or bad some aspect of a movie/show is, as long as the movie/show isn’t some…

I second this. I’ve physically met people from Oppo in 11 different countries on 2 continents, flew that Torchbug over the ocean and have probably met roughly 30 current and former Oppo authors in person. In those 11 different countries, in 10 of them due to Oppo meets. I was on Oppo since before it was named Oppo…

I blame Ballaban for... Ballabanning me to the greys.

Above the lol needs to be a large sized glossy page coffee table book

Oh boy. I’m posted a LOT of stuff to Oppo over the last 10 years or so. Once Kinja came in and offered us all blogs, I hotlinked a LOT of images to stuff I posted in here.

It’s pronounced “Hardibird”

Have you ever seen Roy Wort and Ted Mosby in the same room?

Thanks for all the support from the FP guys and gals over the years. Without Jalopnik, it’s pretty obvious there’d be no Oppositelock. And we know you guys did what you could to keep us around as long as possible. It’s a bummer, yeah, but the community will live on in one form or another.

A negative times a positive is still negative though.

If the kona N can be had with a manual, I'm interested... 

Not exactly. Hyundai did something weird where Europe got the i30 in various forms. We got the sixth gen Elantra sedan, which was not the i30 sedan Europe gets, and the Elantra GT which was the third gen i30 hatchback (5-door).
