Stick with me here... The malice isn’t in the intent, but in the ignorance of the assumption.

but nobody on the committee seemed to know that

I feel like people forget (or were just too young to experience) how pretty much all of the best episodes of the X-Files were the standalone episodes. Home. Squeeze & Tooms. Ice. Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose. Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. The Post-Modern Prometheus. Bad Blood.

Someone had posted this within an hour of the episode airing. Just sharing.

The obligatory and appropriate response

In case Americans have ever been under the impression that their police forces are uniquely terrible, let it be known that law enforcement in Australia has a long history of being violent, stupid, racist, and almost ridiculously corrupt. (Check out the history of the Victorian police force some time.) The most…

Where the hell is Romancing the Stone (and its sequel)? As far as Indy imitators go, it’s not only the first out of the gate, but it was also very influential in its own right. Half the adventure movies on this list steals its its romance dynamic.

Too bad about Beetz, she stole the show in Deadpool 2.  Was in charge of every scene she was in.  

Nobody blinked because nobody saw the movie.

I think you’ve hit upon the real message that the showrunners are trying to get across here, that both groups of Mandalorians are a bit too dogmatic for their own good and need to relax their bullshit a bit in order to find a way forward.
