“...because she had to or she would’ve looked like Bernie Sanders in Seattle, Washington; an old Democrat who talks a good game but displays that, when protestors of color come, she hasn’t much to say.”

You do realize that once they stopped using these characters together, Kalinda’s storylines were then used to propel the arcs of male characters instead, right?

To say nothing of the fact that they had autonomous robots with personalities available for these missions. Why send people at all?

That gives writers too much of a pass. The trick is not in making your characters make bad decisions, it’s in crafting the story in such a way that the only choices available to your characters are bad ones. They don’t have to be idiots when circumstances give them no good options. Seeing how they weather those…

I refuse to believe that someone with that much money would purchase a hairpiece that looks like a scrotal combover. That’s real hair from the back and sides of his head woven together like a thatched hut.

Western urban area. And before that, I was in a northern state. So, I’ll admit I have some bubble action going on. When it comes down to it, what you say about fear of the word socialism may be true. But no one who is afraid of that word was going to vote for a dem candidate of any stripe. So, in the end, is that fear…

Did the most recent protest spark the upload of the his stance on race to his website? Likely. Did he manage between Seattle and Portland to craft “an extensive stand on race” for posting on his website? Highly unlikely. You don’t just throw together a policy position on the drive over for upload in the morning.

I think it has some visually pleasing elements. It’s not breathtaking or anything, but it uses darkness really well (in certain dungeons), and goes really far in visual variety for gear and weapons.

Fair enough. I was reading the comment as applying to how Sanders can’t possibly win the general. And I don’t dispute that millions would vote for one of the nuts. Millions will always vote republican. But it comes down to which side better motivates their voters to get to the polls. During recent presidential…

I feel like every “Sanders can’t win” claim fails to take into account that he’ll be running against one of the republicans in the current field. How can he not win against any of them? They’ll call him a leftist or a socialist? That’s what they call every democrat ever - that it’s true this time won’t do much to…

My favorite part of this scene is the implication that the Knight not only found the Grail, but also managed to collect dozens of magical death cups.

The thing about The Thing is that he doesn’t have a thing.

The inherent problem in prospective Fett and Solo movies is engaging the audience in the stakes of the story and the thrills of dangerous situations when we know where both of these characters ends up.

That’s... actually a fair point. It seems unlikely that the sexuality of (on average) 46 characters per movie are explicitly identified. Which suggests that the report itself is assuming a default state of straightness for characters who are not identified as such. 19 is still a small number, but that’s likely out of…

Birth. Life. Tire. Retire. Death. Rebirth.

Death defied. Death determined. Death delivered.

The causal loop became my noose.

DNA held a message: send help.

God wasn’t dead... until we met.

The robots loved - just not us.
