Yeah. Leia’s message is Leia in diplomatic mode, but when Luke comes into the detention block he says something like, “I’m here to rescue you. I’ve got your R2 Unit... I’m here with Ben Kenobi.” At which point she excitedly shouts, “Ben Kenobi is here! Where is he?” Which implies that her connection to Obi-Wan is more…

“Leia’s “help me Obi-Wan Kenobi” message that she gives to R2-D2 in the movie seems to imply that she and Obi-Wan do not know each other, but she eventually does meet Obi-Wan in part two of the premiere and she hears him referred to as Obi-Wan—despite his insistence that he is called “Ben.””

Second was the escape at the end where Reva was standing around shouting how Kenobi can’t escape her. There were probably dozens of Imperial ships around and, more importantly, she knew exactly the ship he was on. So I don’t think it would have been at all difficult for her to stop that ship or at least figure out a…

If there’s any inconsistency with Obi-Wan’s appearance, it’s just that people born in 1914 aged a lot worse than people born in 1971. Macgregor is 17 years older in Kenobi than he is in Revenge of the Sith. Strictly going by the canon timeline he’s already old enough to play Kenobi in the New Hope era, much less 9…

No bored ape is worth $200,o00 - this is just a pyramid scheme, right?

Is this all some sort of bizarre performance art or is everyone involved really this fucking dumb?

Weird how cops are so good at bringing in these heavily armed and outfitted white supremacist killers alive but can’t seem to get George Floyd or Eric Garner in the back of a squad car without oopsie doopsie murdering them

Personally, I can’t wait until scrotes like you realize they don’t have to comment on every thread of something they don’t like.

Watching a couple of previous entries to understand a few references is hardly homework. Whoever is going will have already seen ‘em.

Things I never thought I would say: Chet Hanks was an inspired bit of casting.

Not that this is the intention...but maybe the whole idea of being in foreign territory for our main 4some is why we are getting anthology episodes.
The sense of alienation with these side stories where we, the audience, are now outside our comfort zone, are doing our best to find the “Atlanta” vibe we can recognize…

I dunno, I disagree that this fell flat. It revisited a lot of themes that have popped up in the show before (the desire for minority culture as long as you have the ability to contain it or escape from it at will being the big one) and I thought pulled them off pretty well from the jump. Miles can listen to his…

It's a shame how the powers that be have gutted this site so badly.

Great article about a great episode of a great show.

Also: “People hate when I do this.”

“Arseny went so far as to send me an exquisite video of himself dumping what appears to be a can of High Life into a pitcher.”

(Not a lawyer but I have done some research on the subject)

As the disclaimer in front of every episode mentions, it is a dramatization, which means that where the data doesn’t match the arc of the story they’re telling, the arc of the story takes precedence. (This is also true of almost all documentaries, by the way! Once you start arranging and curating a set of facts to…

Yeah, I find this show breathlessly entertaining. And I think multiple episodes ads up to more layered, compelling characters. Jerry West’s “character” has calmed down now that he is not coaching, validating his brace decision to put his own mental health and marriage ahead of coaching. Magic’s “character” has…

“...It’s Drearily Dull.” Which is exactly what you would expect Kareem, as depicted in Winning Time, to say. And then he says it in real life.
