Why? Are WotC's workers being treated too humanely? I just watched that video! Apparently because I needed a dose of inanity to go along with my morning coffee. Prior to the MCU, 'hardcore Marvel fans' could barely support the relatively minuscule print runs of modern comics. Which isn't to...

The undead warlock had CCTV.

The last episode could have been called "The One Where We Remind You This Is a Star Wars Show". I admit I found it a little jarring. I'm going to have to think about that...

And he handed Saw’s guard a lightsaber. I wonder if this is foreshadowing? 😀 (it’s funny how much of Luthen’s speech to the ISB mole also applies to being a Jedi, come to think...)

I arrange a bunch of words in my brain and then open my mouth. Sometimes I skip the first part.

After Thanksgiving. But I only want to hear “Father Christmas“, “Christmas Wrapping”, “Christmas in Hollis”, and “A Fairytale of New York” on repeat.

Saga is a great call! (thought I might slightly prefer Paper Girls)

The Kefahuchi Tract trilogy by M. John Harrison: Light, Nova Swing, Empty Space: A Haunting. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. Ministry For the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. The Expanse (all nine!) by James S. A. Corey, aka Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham The Southern Reach trilogy by...

So after seven episodes there's a legitimate question about who this series is for, exactly. There's also an argument to be made that it's also the best Star Wars thing made (so far). And is Luthen the Rebellion's Thrawn? Discuss!

Party defeated axe-wielding vampire curator.

Met helpful librarian on opium. (PCs are currently in the tiger-headed opium nightmare part of the map)

A foolish consistency is the HD 1+1 hobgoblin of little minds. (couldn't resist)

I have to admit I laughed out loud when we apparently got dropped back into the Disney+ menu 2/3 of the way through the episode. That was more meta than I was expecting. Even considering the episode started with an intro in the style of the Bixby/Ferrigno Hulk series. It was all very clever. So...

Wes Anderson. You’d basically get the film-within-a-film from Roman Coppola’s movie CQ. It won’t happen, but no power in the ‘verse can stop me from wanting it to happen!

LaNasa’s wife’s maiden name is Reich? This is why satire is dead.

Judeaooine People's Front.

That’s how I read it.

That's not really what I meant. I thought the show's explanation of mithril seemed of a piece with Ungoliant, Telperion, Laurelin et al. Mythic. The sort of thing that wouldn't seem out of place in a Scandinavian saga. Sufficiently Tolkien-esque. I wouldn't feel the same way about the...

This is a universe where a big spider eats the trees that are also the sun… I like the idea the Elves think the light in mithril will help their fading from the world. It is presented as a desperate hope.

Cassian is interesting to watch. It’s what I look for in a film character.
