    Power Rangers: Teen Girl (and Boy) Squad

    Samurai Jack might as well be in another medium, so vast is the difference between it and things like Power Rangers.

    Geez, spacist much?

    That makes sense, though that doesn't mean it's the most likely body type we'd encounter, if we did run into complicated life forms. I'm no scientist, but I feel like evolution tends to result in hyper-specialization, rather than optimization.

    "So does the young audience expect more? You bet they do—and they will have it.”

    Surely, some brave Rebel was like "aw shit we're being boarded, delete the ship's logs!" while they were also transferring the data tape files.

    "If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from. However, we make up for it with our proximity to a ton of plot conveniences."

    FAKE NEWS

    I was just thinking how much more effective it might have been, had it been Cassian and Jyn he was carving up like turkeys.

    Answer 1: the prosthetics in Star Wars are so advanced that they're tied to the user's nervous system. Luke says "ow" when jabbed by the medical droid when his is attached. Stands to reason that Vader's are similar, in that they at least feel like a part of his body, even if they somehow reduce his connection to the…

    Agreed on all points. The original Emperor (which I think used something weird, like the eyes of an orangutan or something?) is so creepy and off-putting that I don't even mind that it doesn't really look/sound like Ian McDiarmid's Emperor. It just works. I'm not sure how his prequel makeup managed to look so unlike…

    And he then breaks the guy's trachea. Like, dude! Let him answer the question.

    Judas Traveler and Morlun?

    Anyone point out yet that Catwoman, though she came first, was actually more inspired by Black Cat than vice versa? Because I think that's neat, seeing as I'm a giant goddamn nerd.

    I hate that the hyper-athletic fights of the prequels demanded an "explanation" as to why Vader didn't do tons of flips.

    I'm hoping that soon, the American food industry will move to correct the whole oversimplified "fat = bad, no fat = good" BS, and re-focus on the danger of refined and added sugar that is in literally everything, including the goddamn bread.
