Oh it’s definitely been a bad year for pets beloved by the internet. Boo the World’s Cutest Dog in January, Grumpy Cat in May, and now Lil’ Bub.

(Ned instructing Rod to literally turn his back on his younger brother is about as ugly as Ned’s Christianity has been allowed to be.)

I’m a little surprised and somewhat disappointed that baby Yoda didn’t turn out to be a McGuffin and dumped off on that planet before setting out for the Mando’s next adventure. Clearly, the writers have a long term plan this season for the little guy.

The point is that Lucas was (surprisingly) able to exercise restraint by postponing merchandise to avoid spoiling the movie. I don’t think you can compare the timing since RotJ was released in May and The Mandalorian was released like four to six or seven weeks before the Holidays. And that’s just in the US. There’s…

Not really. Lucas made Kenner cover over the Ewoks and the Jabba the Hutt playset on the packaging and in the catalogs for RotJ  merchandise and they weren’t released in stores until August of 1983, three months after RotJ’s release.

So - despite Lindelof’s claim that this is a one-and-done miniseries - they intentionally kept the other Minutemen blurry in case those characters get recast in a second season, right?

1.) I feel like Musk had more lines than Sam Neill and Kathleen Turner combined and that’s a travesty.

2.) The Lynchbot or whatever it was called fell flat because nothing it wrote (aside from Rick swallowing the bird and spitting out an egg) felt like they were from a David Lynch film. But maybe I just want to watch…

Or he was using June as a beard? You know that was a common practice among “straight acting” gay men before the gay rights movement and still happens in some rural and conservative communities. Also, it seems pretty intentional that they had a scene of Will in bed with Captain Metropolis and June back-to-back. One…

Too bad Virtual Marge and the Pierce Brosnan A.I. from “Treehouse of Horrors XII” couldn’t get together.

He’s doing more a Roman/Bellamy salute in the concept art. But maybe they were worried that would look a tad too fascist?

It looks like they’re doing The Long Halloween. The problem is The Long Halloween had multiple issues to play out, not 2 1/2 to 3 hours tops.

In the case of Krabapple where her voice was literally just Marcia Wallace? Yes. In the case of Phil Hartman where he voiced a handful of occasional guest characters? Absolutely. In the case of Russi Taylor who voiced half of Springfield Elementary’s student body? No, not really.

Yes. This is all Disney’s doing. George Lucas would never flood the market with any and every piece of Star Wars merchandise imaginable like... Whatever the fuck this is:

But I thought The Fast and the Furious movies were written and filmed as gay porn.

“Save me Dr. Manhattan has imprisoned me on this moo”

Ozymandias: Damn. One body short of being rescued.

Apparently it was coined in an online forum in the early 90's.

Not to be that guy, but wasn’t it Louann’s father who let Kirk into the cracker business? Fired, blunder, etc.

It actually looks like they’re not editing out jokes for going against the Disney “family friendly” brand. My nephew was watching The Simpsons Movie this afternoon and it had Bart hanging dong, Otto smoking a bong, and Marge saying, “Throw the goddamn bomb!” All things that get edited out for basic cable. (Bart…

Why did they just make up that Mrs Coulter can separate from her daemon, when she can’t? She’s not a witch. Are they trying to portray her as strange or evocative of fear? I think they already did that by showing she’s kidnapping children and bullying Lyra.

Talk Soup/The Soup has been on-again-off-again since the 90's. I don’t think the time window between The Soup being cancelled and then revived is even as long the time window between the last time Talk Soup was cancelled and then eventually relaunched as The Soup.
