Kid never looks anything but completely miserable. And very pale, even for a pale male. Does he never go outside? 

Oh, fuck off. If this was a 300-pound daughter, her appearance would be off limits. He’s tall. Big fucking deal.

But you are  right in that this has never been Belle trapped in Beast’s castle. This is a loathsome skank.

You have to wonder how much Feinstein was really aware of what she wanted toward the end there. It wasn’t clear she really knew anything that was going on around her. I bet if you’d asked her point blank what year it was, she would have struggled.

So now that the show is almost over, I still don’t really understand most of the characters’ motivations overall or in the moment-to-moment action.

Yeah, even in last week’s episode, he really felt like Ezra to me. 10/10 casting.

I feel like I really need to give a shout-out to Esfandi for how absolutely dead on he’s got Ezra here? Clearly outnumbered and about to be gunned down with some sith in front of a bunch of night-troopers... Ez pulls out the old favorite. LET’S SEE IF WE CAN BULLSHIT OUR WAY OUT OF THIS!

Hondo: “Oh, my dear friend.…

Thrawn is hard to depict outside novels. In the Heir To The Empire trilogy Zahn had hundreds of pages to set up and pay off Thrawn’s brilliant schemes (even predicting enemy decisions based on their culture’s artworks) and illustrate his command style. He can make clever use of cloning cylinders, ysalamiri, and the…

Hera cannot debate to save her life. Jacen probably talks her into ice cream before dinner every night.

We’ve seen too many people killed by US cops for not obeying their commands. The job is a way for them to exercise their need to power trip.

“is being held at Dauphin County Prison without bail after a district judge ruled there are no conditions Davis can meet to be released at this time”

Good.  A guy like this would absolutely be a danger to her if released.

Any other troopers who were present and failed to stop Davis from assaulting and kidnapping his ex should be brought up on charges as well. 

“Americans aren’t all idiots, but the people who decide what media they get to watch are”

I saw one trailer and dismissed it as a Skyline/Battle Los Angeles-esque epic-on-a-budget movie. I thought Rogue One and Edwards’ Godzilla were both fine, but heavily flawed, so I really had no interest in this movie. Reading this has definitely piqued my interest.

nope — 3 years is a standard contract length in media and allows unions to renegotiate frequently. additionally in this instance, provisional is just the word used before everything gets into a contract and gets signed. both groups could back out, but that would be unusual and possible a labor violation. the deal is…

It’s not a coincidence that Q4 starts on October 1st and the Studios would have to tell their stockholders why their earnings have cratered since the strikes started.

How is this show still on?  Do people just watch every season thinking “maybe this will finally be the good one!”

Bald faced Graft and Bribery....in the political landscape utopia of New Jersey?!?!?

There’s something that feels sooo cartoonishly corrupt about literal gold bars.

That’s a great way to look at it. You take your Force gen-eds and if the coaches see something in you there’s a chance to further develop those skills in Varsity Force related activities.

To add: Sabine should NOT become a Jedi. She should become a stronger Mandalorian warrior with more situational awareness, blade handling skills, and better cardio.
