I was so shocked at the very end when Prince Fortinbras showed up.

I reeeeeeeally want a movie where he bullseyes some womp rats in his T-16, works on moisture vaporators, and wastes time with his friends.

And now George Lucas needs a shower and a cigarette, maybe not in that exact order.

Hmm. You're gonna have to start with Vector Prime before you get to Star by Star.

This was as close to a Wraith Squadron movie as we're ever gonna get. Except that everyone dies at the end.

I didn't really dig Awakens (too derivative for my taste), but I really loved this. As tends to happen with ensemble casts, the characters didn't get as much space to develop or time to ingrain themselves as they did in TFA (and the return of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa as supporting players isn't exactly the same as…

It makes sense that Rogue One was wiped out to the last man, woman, and droid as they heroically sacrificed themselves (along with a few capital ships, most or all of Blue Squadron, and a squad of Alderaanian marines) to get the Death Star plans into the hands of the Rebel Alliance.

Packed, and this after a snowstorm yesterday basically shut the state of Oregon down.

Well, all Vader knows is that transmissions were beamed up from Scarif to the fleet. He has no way of knowing which ship or ships received them, but he's making the logical assumption that the one that blasted off from the flagship and made a mad dash toward the Outer Rim is the one with the plans aboard.

I'll bet he shows up in the Boba Fett movie, too.

I said in the non-spoiler review that tonally, it's basically Wraith Squadron meets Star by Star.

If I didn't know Peter Cushing was dead, I wouldn't have suspected Tarkin was mostly CGI. Maybe I'm just a dummy, but I thought it was close to perfect.

Holy fucking shit. I loved it.

I really enjoy B99, but I couldn't agree with you more. Mantzoukas has never fit in — maybe that's the point, but I like the rest of the show enough that I'm at least slightly annoyed whenever his over-the-top character hijacks it.

Dylan Baker and Alison Wright not getting nominated for their work this season is a joke. And not a funny joke, either.

I love BoJack Horseman and the voice acting on it is incredible. My only regret is that I will never, ever rewatch it (except for maybe an episode here and there) because it's so wrenching to experience.

Everything about The Americans is perfect, but I agree that Dylan Baker stole the show this year. Sure, the character he played was right in his wheelhouse, but he took that hanging slider and knocked it the fuck out of the park. It's not easy to dominate a scene with Frank fucking Langella.

I had my share of problems with Netflix's The Crown, but John Lithgow was absolutely fucking brilliant as an aged and infirm Winston Churchill.

In fairness, Atlantic salmon is an abomination.
