I like it, except Agent Johnson was in junior high while Agent Johnson was in Saigon.

How do film executives continually fail to understand the appeal of Die Hard?

Bogart was trying to take Hepburn down the Nile River? He really was a terrible boat captain!

I think that’s the Spider-Man from the Earth X universe: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Parker_(Earth-9997)

New Mobility Magazine did a great comic on that exact thing. The show’s attitude towards Spinal Cord Injury would be insulting if it wasn’t so funny. Check out that comic.

You could not have put that any more perfectly. 

It’s the scenes where someone’s standing on a planet, watching another planet explode/implode, and it’s like ten times the size of the irl moon in our irl sky.

I still don’t really get what the geo(-galacto?-)political situation between the New Republic and First Order was supposed to be, pre-TFA.

When Luke finally shows up at the end, it’s maybe the most effective sequel-bait scene I can remember. I couldn’t believe I had to wait two more years to see more of that guy.

What does Shiv get from Tom? Well...

No, this was not a grand plan of Logan’s. He’s not clever or sneaky like that. He rules by brute force. He genuinely believed Kendall was thoroughly broken and under his thumb.

Definitely smiling because Kendall earned his respect. I don’t see any reasonable way this was part of a big plan of Logan’s. We’ve seen again and again that Logan is pretty s**t at planning ahead.

Not going to lie, this idea that some Succession viewers have that Logan is some sort of all-seeing chess master who sees 4 moves ahead of everyone else is baffling to me.
