If you can’t tell if someone is in the office or not, then that person can work from home. No reason to force them into the office if things are exactly the same.

Nothing is being forced on you. You’re just homophobic.

“Despite my desperation to watch twerpiest husband in America, Ethan Spiller, bite the bullet....”

Nitpick:  Luthen’s “fake credentials” actually do work, the Imperial captain just proceeds with the planned boarding “for practice” and because he’s a dick.  

The Gray Havens are not to the west of Middle-earth. They are a harbor  city within Lindon, also called Mithlond. 

As I pointed out below, because the source material for this show was never fully fleshed out, Amazon has quite a bit of room for creative license. As a fan, I really can’t say “Gil-Galad would never do/say that!”, because from the source material, we know almost nothing about the character other than some of the…

Can we get this guy to do the list next time? He actually seems to be paying attention.

“Wet” squelching.

The more interesting thing is how the tropes of fantasy storytelling have changed since 1977. Obi-Wan hanging around the desert for decades keeping an eye on Luke is lifted from Lord of the Rings (as is the idea of a far-flung agrarian community being shaken up by a terrible weapon). It’s a throwback to a more settled…

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…

Seriously. I work in comms and PR for a living. Plenty of writing. And even in my somewhat elevated position, do I just throw out whatever I want without second eyes? Nope.

Screw everyone, I loved the show. It’s especially telling that there were an equal number of people accusing it of both being too much like the original show, or not enough. And I absolutely loved what they did with Julia and just laughed at all the people saying it wasn’t true to the character. Because oh yeah, there…

I haven’t seen reports that was the case. There are a thousand different ways this could have happened. And things like this are always the fault of the crew members in charge of firearms on set. It’s 2021 though so why are blanks still being used? Half the time the post department has to add muzzle flashes anyway…

The Duck of Death.

And like his fellow ex-Bond Timothy Dalton, has discovered the joys of playing villains in addition to heroes.

So what you’re saying is that you got the vaccine, and now you’re regularly experiencing bleeding?

Fuck the CCP.

Taiwan is a country.

Fuck you John Xina.

Do people realize how harmful it is to read sex into every friendly relationship? Fanfic is mostly fun and innocent but stuff like this that attempts to read this into everything as if it’s important is really bad. It’s really, really important to have queer characters! It’s ALSO really, really important to have…

This is so so so accurate. I, for one, look forward to Hannah Ann’s eventual drunken meltdown in the parking lot of a Hendersonville Mexican restaurant. Will it get a little racist? Yeah, probably!
