The Dany plot twist in the penultimate episode particularly bothered me because of how easily they could have gotten there with a slight change (which would have also fixed a different plot problem).

That said, I think it would be safe to say that 80's music has more in common with current contemporary music than 50's music had in common with 80's music. I’m willing to bet the divide between pre-60's and 60's/post-60's music (specifically, the rise in popularity of “rock music” during the 60's) is the reason.

No need. The AGPBL didn’t fold until after the 1954 season (heck, the league’s biggest season wasn’t until 1948, 3 years after the end of WW2).

GameStop didn’t raise $1 billion from the sale of its meme stock. The article’s caption you’re quoting is misinterpreting the graph of GameStop’s stock price.

It was initially supposed to premier last Wednesday, but they pushed it to Friday not long before the premier (perhaps to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend in the US?). Then everyone assumed it would simply be a Friday show, but it appears going forward the regular release day was moved back to Wednesday.

Maverick would be forced to retire at age 60 - not be sent to train guys.

I don’t read her quote as positively as you do. Rather, it appears they’re creating a scapegoat (Johnson being too busy) to blame on the reason his Star Wars films are never made (or at least not made by him, perhaps keeping only his story and him as a producer) to try and make it look like they aren’t giving into the …

This is both hysterical and sad....hysterically sad?

Aziz had a widely publicized negative story spread about him with respect to his alleged sexual misconduct (whether or not the allegations were true/false, properly presented/exaggerated doesn’t matter to this discussion).

This. If the first two Fantastic Beasts movies even held a candle to any of the Harry Potter movies, then this film would have done just as well as the Potter films.

Ending this series with nothing resolved seems right up the show’s alley.

I read somewhere that they’ve got a 7 season plan (plan might be strong, but a 7 season adjustable outline for what they want to do), with each season set in another decade, with the final season being contemporary and the final season being in the near future (obviously alternative).

Yes, I know I thought about this too much.

So, Pike became captain of the Enterprise in 2250 and Kirk around 2265 (Pike’s injury didn’t happen until 2266, a year after Kirk took command). Season 2 of Discovery takes place in 2257-58. As of 2257, Kirk was still a Lieutenant (perhaps a Lt. Commander?) on the Farragut. While it’s been implied Kirk had a command…

Yes. It would be better if HBO Max/Discovery+ went the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ route and kept them separate that you can subscribe to ala cart, but also offered a bundle discount option if you want both. While Hulu ($7 or $13 ad free), Disney+ ($8) and ESPN+ ($7) total $22 (or $28 with ad free Hulu), the Bundle is only $14…

No, he wouldn’t be required to do a deposition or testify at trial. But given the type of allegations (that she defamed him when talking about him abusing her), per which he will need to show that she was lying about him abusing her, and that such “domestic abuse” allegations often turn into “he said, she said”, its…

I mean, there’s also the fact that Colin and Chet are different people with different biology and different life experiences.

In addition to its volatility flattening out, to be taken seriously as a currency, it also needs to stop appreciating. Appreciating currency just means deflation and leads to people hording the currency rather than spending or investing it, which in turn leads to recession.

Moose Knuckle was being sarcastic. “All investment is speculative” is not a deep comment.

Yup...pretty sure if the majority of stocks are down more than 50%, the NYSE Composite would be down a lot more than just 2.54% over the last month.
