I cannot articulate how bummed I am to learn that Pena is a Scilon. Damn.

Also, Lizzy Caplan should be a HUGE star and I’m not sure why she isn’t.

Smart reasoning for not calling the cops. Man, this guy *really* kept it together in the face of some serious provocation.

Yeah, we are. Because those comments are a complete non-issue. That guy showed incredible patience in the face of abuse, he’s 100% entitled to curse about her a bit afterwards, out of her presence, as a way to relieve the pent-up tension.

That’s so interesting. They made such a point of referring specifically to Luke as “the last jedi”, both in the opening crawl and in the dialogue, that I was certain there wouldn’t be any cutesy “...or *is* he?” going on.

But you know what? Cool. I’m in.

Remember, when it comes to the Force, raw horsepower can account for quite a bit of your speed of learning and natural aptitudes with quickly picking up a skill.

Plus, for all we know, Ben Solo might have been a C-student in his “lightsabering” classes.

It wasn’t just those few months, was it? I thought that between ESB and ROTJ, he returned to Taooine and self-trained using Obi-Wan’s old notes.

“Many people have wondered if the title refers not to just one or two characters, but the concept of Jedi as a whole”

Sooo...they’re re-imagining him the way he already was? Just writing instead of acting. Whatever, I’m in.

Also, that Captain’s chair looks WAY too Excelsior for the time period the show is set in. But...minor quibble. It wouldn’t be Star Trek unless we quibbled about minor stuff, right?

The gold piping/trim on that uniform makes me wonder if it’s a dress uni.

Nobody’s saying that and you know it.

There isn’t one, people are just taking the opportunity to be smug and self-righteous.

“What did it say about the filmmaker’s views on women to have the character, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, running away from dinosaurs in such non-sensible shoes?”

There’s noting remotely sexual about that picture, it’s just incorrect in that it depicts the character as too old. We are WAY over-reacting to this.

I challenge the premise of your question. Nobody has suggested that _boys_ be raised on porn. Porn is for adults. I know, I know, teens are going to sneak it, but you understand what I’m saying.

I’m so happy that she’s been able to have a real life after her horrific abduction. Plenty of people would have been driven off the rails and stayed that way for life. Whatever family and counseling support she’s received, it’s top-notch, kudos to them. And kudos to her for realizing she could have a life, reaching

“It’s still not clear that hyperandrogenic women possess a marked athletic advantage.”

This makes sense. I’m not overly-fond of the “must tell an origin story” method of doing superhero movies.

Catching the characters after they’ve already been established sounds like more fun. Origin stories are so...origin story-ish.

Tank Rogue is best Rogue.

What’s WTF about that? Looks like she’s been in a hell of a fight.
