Ham Shmolo?

Who else is going to fight the carbon copy of Han?

Continuing the EU’s legacy of showing absolutely no original thought. Slightly different versions of all the characters you have already seen a hundred times!

As is almost everybody in the setting, the only people who ever treat droids like sentient beings are Luke and Anakin. Everybody else treats them _at best_ like slaves (sometimes favoured slaves, but still slaves)

The great unspoken rule of SW is that “Jedi always lie”

They are performing for their mates in the room... behaving how they think they should.

Odd that only months after such exquisite outrage, the media today is making a huge deal about publishing a leaked celebrity sex tape.

If something is wrong, then it is wrong... no matter how racist the footballer.

This. I learned long ago in science (specifically bio) that if there are two camps arguing about something, the answer is usually “A bit of both”.

“Oceania is so small and ineffectual that Australia lobbied for and successfully left OFC ten years ago”

The reason Aus left is because the top ranked of Oceania has to play against south-american teams to get into the World Cup. It has however led to hilarity with middle eastern countries trying to get us kicked back…

I used to hang out with (and be a part of) a pretty heavy drug taking crowd. The way people changed around nitrous was disturbing, it turned everybody in to stereotypical junkies (everybody hiding that one last hit, only giving it away to the pretty girls, sneaking away to make sure nobody else got any).

This never…

While I have no problem with the Doctor changing sexes, why is it that because he can, he must?

Maybe the Doctor is just very cis... and that is okay.

Saw an interview with him today, they put everything on hold for a year but it rained again... so then they moved to Nambia.

I got the impression the “great salt” they were talking about crossing was the ocean, all dried up.

‘tis the little things, like clearly making this “the force can move stuff” power up for the second film.

Three creators desperately in need of a good editor, but so “big” they could ignore them.

I’ve been looking for work here in Australia recently, and have seen a few notices on ads about drug testing (for office jobs). Five years ago there was nothing like this, now it seems about 1 in 10 or 20.

The thing is, it wasn’t that much of a “feminist film”.

Another put it better than I could:

“there’s no fighting the patriarchy so to speak, despite the main bad guy being a trumped up example of domestic abuse. In fact, this movie isn’t about gender at all.

Instead, it was a film that met the basic things feminism…

One of the things I understand least about fandom is the constant need for everything to be told , explained or expanded. Every bloody time it happens it cannot possibly live up to what you have already done with your own imagination.

Characters like Boba Fett and Wolverine become cool because they are masks with no…

Can somebody graph the release dates on AC games to let me know then the singularity will occur? Seems like they will be up to weekly games within a few months.

I remember interviews when this was starting that said this was intentional. They wanted to get back to the older style star trek ‘monster of the week’ after DS9 had dabbled with ideas like seasons-long plot and character development.

How the people in charge of this stuff get there is beyond me.
