Yes. I do not want to see CGI or recast Leia. A character is formed by the actor’s choices and preferences; to replace them, particularly after death, rings hollow.

I’m just watching this for Danny Pudi.

What a glorious picture.

Katherine, British panel shows are the best. Do you watch Would I Lie To You?

What do you do if you’re breaking up a years-long friendship, turned uncomfortable and weirdly stalker-ish? I was told the best thing was to just cut off contact and stop responding, but I haven’t been comfortable with full-out ghosting. Saying “I don’t think this is going to work out!” doesn’t make sense, seeing as…

It reminded me so much of Pushing Daisies.

Yeah, but then she put the scalpel down and he had full control of her through the iPad-things they carry around. When she told him to boost her intelligence up to twenty, he could have said “Yup okay I’m on it” and then immediately pushed it down to zero.

Yesss! I feel like the guy they have now—Orlando-Bloom-replica-what’s-his-face—looks far too intelligent. I just saw him as Aramis in that Three Mukseteers movie from a few years back, so maybe that’s persuading me, but I’m just not sold that this guy can play thick as a brick.

I feel like Chris Hemsworth would have been a better choice for sheer mass.

I wish Westworld was a more Netflix-y, here-have-them-all-at-once-you-binge-addicted-gits, we-know-you-can’t-survive-a-week-between-episodes type of of show.

I’m surprised there wasn’t a chorus of people mentioning Rick and Morty. It’s a different scene for everyone, but for me, it’s the episode with Mr. Jellybean—when Rick shows, incredibly quietly and gently, how much he loves Morty.

Lauren??!! It’s Lauren! Hi! We missed you! How’s post-io9 life been treating you?!

Wow, that sucks. That really sucks.

Question: when he says “upper management,” who is he talking about? Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner? Or people above them?

It looks great! I love your story.

Oh god, Kevin Kline as Lumiere would result in me going to see this movie in the theater about 5000 times. As it is, I think I’ll be hiding my head under a pillow until it stops.

YES, JAMES, YES!

They’re SO worth it. Last I checked there were a lot of whole episodes on YouTube.

How do you always have exactly the right gif, Frank?!
