Leia rescuing herself with the Force was one of the most awesome things I’ve ever seen. I know people have their issues with it, but I loved it.

My hope for the Infinity Wars is this:

Until she claims her marriage was never consummated and that as a virgin she may set her sights on the new heir, the charismatic and headstrong Prince Harry who will one day rule as King Henry VIII.

How can you write a whole article about this and leave out the most important part: how many views and likes did the video get?

The droids had ranged weapons, though.

Yeah, there’s a deleted scene where all the women admit that they are wrong about everything and then a guy who looks exactly like you walks onscreen and says “I’m Luke’s secret cousin and I’m the protaganist from now on!” Then he destroys the entire First Order all by himself while everyone who made fun of you in…

I feel ya. After years of collecting the Marvel comics, reading the EU novels, and watching the OT over and over, my SW fandom was pretty much DOA on 5/19/99. TFA got me on nostalgia, but after watching TLJ, i was actually excited to see where a SW would go next.

It’s very simple: they did it because they hate you. No, not the audience, you specifically. “I’m going to ruin Star Wars for det-devil-ails,” Rian Johnson says in the commentary.

Yes. At around 1:14 in the director’s commentary, Rian Johnson explains that every choice was made specifically to ruin your personal childhood.

This is such an original take on this film...

• While writing, Johnson considered having Luke use the Force for some massive attack at the end, but felt it went against his idea that the Force is not a superpower.

Conservative Democrats getting elected in conservative districts where previously there were ultra-conservative (or just radical) Republicans is still a win. Voting with you sometimes is better than voting with you never.

In “These Happy Golden Years”, Laura stays with the Brewster family during her teaching assignment. Mrs. Brewster, who evidently hates prairie life, threatens her husband with a knife in the middle of the night. It’s a pretty dark chapter.

The best part of the story was Almanzo saving the town from starvation. Now that’s a story.

It’s in “Little Town on the Prairie,” a New England Supper to celebrate Thanksgiving, and it’s a whole roast pig. (Yum!) Laura is indeed stuck doing dishes for the whole freakin’ duration of the supper because she wants to help her friend, Ida, the minister’s adopted daughter. “She couldn’t leave Ida alone to cope…

Oh, heck Laura and Almanzo owned cars and made road trips to DeSmet for Old Settlers Day, and I think to Detroit for a book signing for “The Long Winter. I’m sure it was Detroit and “The Long Winter,” not sure whether they drove or took the train. Pretty sure they drove, though.

Remember when poor Jack was lost in the river crossing? Why the hell did Pa make him swim instead of popping him in the wagon to float across??

The First Four Years is almost an American re-telling of the Book of Job and I’ve tried to forget it. But glad it got mentioned, ha.

You know, I think of Jack fairly often, even as an adult. The moment he was lost in the river, then he comes back, was probably one of the most memorable triumphs of my young reading life.

Bert Cooper’s eulogy for Mrs. Blankenship made me think of Laura. How monumentally the world can change in one lifespan.
