I don’t think Toyota can lecture me on EVs until they actually make a Prime for actual sale.

Auto sales in general are soft right now, it just so happens that some of the highest margin products on sale right now happen to be EVs. As happens with any decline in a market, the high margin stuff is going to suffer more than everything else. I’d love to see a comparison that shows more reasonably priced EVs (say,

They just posted Toyota PR without verifying it with hard numbers. I posted in a different post the Prius they are saying is selling well compared to EVs (which they use misleading comparisons of the F150 Lightning supply vs Prius) actually is selling worse than mediocre selling EVs, much less hot sellers like the

After a relatively hot last couple of years, EV sales have cooled off. A lot of American buyers don’t want them

MotorTrend seems to be generally pro-EV.

When did Jalop get such a weird, albeit slight, anti EV stance?

One of horror’s most popular franchises? Really?

Well, there goes my plans for The Swiftorcist double feature I was gonna do.

So it was like, imagine the Apple Mac hadn’t won the tech war, and the Sony Walkman had.

Agreed. A line of tax code that allows you a tax break for producing or doing nothing, even going as far to say it encourages the waste of productive resources?  Can it, immediately. 

I wonder if they mean that they finished the old-fashioned ‘actors standing in front of cameras’ part of the production, but took a look at the bill to do all of the CGI and other post-production and said ‘screw it’.

The problem I’m running up against is that the show seems to want me to know who these people are and their connections and connect to the story through their personal emotional struggles. This isn’t a show about Ahsoka, it’s a Rebels sequel and it isn’t shying away from that.

Based on Blue Beetle’s box office performance, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a sequel. 

You’ll get it, but you’ll probably find the show rather uninspired.”

I’ve watched all of Clone Wars and Rebels and I still felt this way. I felt the same starting Clone Wars and Rebels too, though. The payoffs in those were good so I trust I’ll survive the flat dialogue (seriously, Dave, conversations not statements

The problem I’m running up against is that the show seems to want me to know who these people are and their connections and connect to the story through their personal emotional struggles.

Case in point: the last several seasons of Walking Dead, plus all the new spin-offs.

While I agree with you 100%, the prospect of diminishing returns has, to date, never stopped anyone from making a watered-down version of a thing people like to watch 

Honestly I feel like if you try to do a spin off of TLOU you are just going to end up with disappointed fans and lackluster viewership numbers. The main reason the series is so beloved is because it’s a character story first and foremost and the world is merely set dressing for the main characters to grow and learn
