It can both be true that western companies made bad long term business decisions by going all in on cheap SEA labor and also that China has done the best job of taking advantage of that greed in order to become a global economic power.

I am a big fan of Lindelof’s work, from Lost (I know, imperfect but so much fun), to The Leftovers (I know, so self-serious but also so profound), and Watchmen (if you are going to mess with Alan Moore you better make it meaningful and tongue-in-cheek silly). Mrs. Davis takes a lot of Lindelof’s preoccupations (the…

With a goatee that terrible it’s no wonder he’s the bad guy.

My biggest question is HOW was the Darksaber even destroyed?
It’s made of Beskar. We’ve seen multiple times how Beskar cannot be crushed or broken.

They do, but they got FOX to admit they lied and a company with about $80M in annual revenues just got 10 times that. They have probably incurred millions in legal fees and if they had lost the lawsuit that would be a lot of money for them. Or FOX could have appealed any verdict or judgement, which means more legal…

I kinda wish the Dominion Voting people were more petty. I mean, do they really not wanna see the Fox News people on the witness stand?

In addition, space shuttles don’t fly vertically. They have to account for rotation of the planet. A mandalorian on a jetpack would need to do the same.

And the jetpacks clearly travel at no more than 100 mph. They obviously don’t travel fast enough to fly into low orbit. It’s silly.

I’m glad the Mandalore storyline wrapped in one season because if these live action shows are going to act as extended codas for the cartoons, I think I’m out.

“I am disappointed that it didn’t resolve the story of Kelleran Beq, so we don’t still don’t really know how Grogu survived Order 66.”

I’d watch a spin-off of Hank and Cristobal doing just about anything. Crime (committing and/or solving), starting a book club, travelling the world, taking over management of a Dave & Busters, you name it.

I hang my head in shame

With the caveat that I have no opinion on this one way or the other, and have no plans to watch this show, that line of thinking cuts both ways. Who’s more likely to call attention to a toxic working environment? An actor who likely signed an anti-disparagement clause, and who is contractually obligated to promote…

Yeah, I think one of the weird elements of their relationship is that it’s transactional but they both feel emotionally safe knowing that. So the transactions blend with affection

I’ll never stop enjoying Tom goading Greg into saying something horrible and then acting shocked as a way of making himself feel better about being stepped on by the higher-ups.

One of the ways this show really shines is the catty putdowns they toss off about normal people. First episode was the “ludicrously capacious handbag” and this one was about Willa’s mom having too much food on her plate: “Does she know she can go back?” If you’ve hung around people like this the tone of the writing is…

Give the Emmy to whoever managed to create a perfectly ambiguous line that could easily be read as an underline or a cross-out.

He’s only in it for the money and not the science of whipping innocent cattle at high speeds.

“4 AM is the time people are least able to defend themselves”

I’m sure that I’m in the minority with this opinion, but it feels like as the scope of this show gets bigger the stakes paradoxically feel smaller.
