How will Vader and Obi-Wan’s second face-off change the Star Wars canon?

For the purposes of The Bob’s Burgers Movie, Valentine’s Day-themed episode “Bob Actually” is a solid chance to remember the interminably irritating—but also very good smelling—Chloe Barbash (Stephanie Beatriz) and what it is Louise doesn’t like about her.

Sure thing!

Fabian gave an exit interview of sorts to Vanity Fair where he talks about it:

Poor Sona will still have to drive White Lightning.

It was Perkins who wrote it, so something something, you can’t fire him because he quit.

They probably figure that there’s not enough of us old timers left here to notice or raise much of a stink about it.

I regularly teach “Stone Mattress” in my Contemporary Lit course. It’s an excellent story and my students love it; plus, the original New Yorker version is accompanied by an interview with Atwood about the story, and a few years ago the New Yorker revisited the story and asked A.M Homes to read it aloud, which is cool…

Found one!

Ooh. This makes it sound like Johnson is still slated to return after all. I hope so. I look forward to feeling a great disturbance in the YouTube algorithm, as millions of whiny voices of fanboys will suddenly cry out in terror and will be hilariously silenced.

Things I remember from season 4:

Is Nielson still sending out surveys?

Nah, you’re not alone. He had that long procession of interviews where he seemed to deliberately come across as an entitled asshole, an image that some of his former co-stars were all too willing to confirm. Maybe he’s matured since then, but if it wasn’t for Whiplash I don’t think I’d have any reservations about…

Howard runs down the list of what he knows are Jimmy’s shenanigans, saying he knows Jimmy wants to get caught. Is there maybe some truth to that? Jimmy has been ambivalent about Kim’s plan to get the Sandpiper money since she first seriously suggested it. Getting caught might be a way to try to end it. How else can…

Loki’s one line in which he declares “a bit of both” in response to Sylvie asking if he’s been with a princesses or a princes left many LGBTQ+ viewers underwhelmed. It’s A Sin and Queer As Folk creator Russell T. Davies... call[ed] it “pathetic” and “a ridiculous, craven feeble gesture towards the vital politics and…

The guy’s name is Fiyyaz Pirani, he’s suing on behalf of Imperium Irrevocable Trust, and he’s hired Glancy Prongay & Murray, a firm which, according to Variety, “specializes in class-action lawsuits involving securities fraud claims”, but I can tell you from experience that a not-insignificant-number of those claims…

...is now getting sued by its shareholders for those crappy subscriber numbers it posted back in April.

My gut feeling since season 1 has always been that Kim doesn’t die, but I also have never bought into the notion that she’s hanging just off camera throughout Breaking Bad. Especially given what’s unfolded this season and last, my guess is that she has to skip town for some yet unforseen reason (maybe involving their…

I knew it was coming; I just didn’t expect it this soon in the season. His invective-heavy speech—especially his telling Hector, “It was me who put you in that chair”—was a sight to behold. We’re in for a wild ride.

Reading your posts makes me think of someone commenting on Nero’s atrocious chord progressions as Rome burns. Keep up the good work!
