I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking this is all going to get so much worse in the near future.

Apples and oranges. The Mandalorian’s facial limitations are intended to force the audience to look deeper for emotional cues and it works wonderfully. CGI Luke has the benefit of what should be a full range of facial expressions available to him and yet delivers a fraction of that. CGI’s a neat trick, and I’m all for…

Hmm... So Disney can either milk the cutest, most beloved Star Wars IP since R2D2 himself for ratings/subscriptions in every upcoming Star Wars project on the horizon, or... or... hide him away from audiences’ prying eyes for years on an obscure jungle planet, lifting frogs all day with an emotionless CGI construct.

The need to be famous at any cost has grown to epidemic proportions in this country.

Fyi, I can’t speak to other NYT games, but Spelling Bee requires a paid subscription to play to completion. (Thankfully there are copycats out there that remain free for now)

Great. So we’re training the robots to be as lazy and impatient as we are. That should turn out well.

That was the point it dawned on me the “reporting” wasn’t apt to improve, threw my hands in the air and headed straight to the comment section.

Absolutely no one but the ‘Outrage Is Life’ mob cared then, and even they’ve moved on at this point.

Don’t despair! If Wikipedia is to be believed, it’ll be streaming on Hulu in March.

Thanks for inspiring me to do a simple Google search. Looks like it’ll be streaming on Hulu.

He should at least confirm whether the ratio of his average employee’s salary to his own is greater or less than the one his tweet is currently enjoying.

I fully appreciate your perspective and share your hope. However, without a definitive plan on the table, I’m afraid it’s simply wishful thinking, which is why including Laconia was so unnecessary. ...and frustrating to me.

I’d have thought my comment would be recognized as obvious hyperbole. It’s just a TV show, after all.

That would be terrific, of course, but I was speaking of their intentions within the context of the final season’s storytelling. The nebulous hopes on the producers’ part that the show may someday find an opportunity to move the story forward does little to satisfy my frustration, especially when including Laconia in…

I certainly hope you’re right about that but all I’ve read so far centers on the producers’ hopes and dreams. With nothing definitive on the horizon, I can’t help remaining pessimistic.

Seems weird to have to explain this, but because they spent the entire season setting up an intricate story line they had no intention of delivering on.

That Twitter thread is delightful. Ratio is a killing word.

They could’ve simply rewritten Duarte’s betrayal and not unnecessarily teased us with the Laconia goings-on at all. Because they didn’t do that, I’m left with an unmanageable rage towards a show I otherwise loved immensely.

Sounds like I bailed right when it might’ve started turning around. I’m inclined to watch those two final episodes now just to satisfy my inner-completist, but maybe better to let sleeping monkeys lie.
