Andor's got me in the mood for some Star Wars gaming. I'm considering downloading The Old Republic again.

Great finale to the series. Just listening through the ending credits. Getting some of the original Star Wars score is a great way to cap it off. I immediately burst into tears at the last scene.

Including the ones who survived. One reason I had trouble getting into the old EU was that, much as I understood that people wanted to see the further adventures of the main characters, I always felt that they'd earned their happily-ever-afters, and it pained me to see them put through further...

To do any less would have been to betray their own storyline. You can't honour the sacrifices of all those whose struggles led to the Rebellion's victory if they aren't sacrificed.

Hard to believe this show will be over tomorrow.

Cassian has met Syril. He held him at gunpoint towards the end of his and Luthen's escape from Ferrix, but to Cassian Syril was just another corporate security guard, not worth taking note of.

Yeah, he delivers some great mornologues.

To be fair, it's not something that shows up in most depictions of D&D devils.

They may have understood it, but they didn't necessarily like it. Avery Brooks in particular is on record as seriously disliking it, which may have something to do with its reputation.

You may be misremembering. The Doctor used the few stray particles trapped inside the Pandorica when it closed to reconstruct the universe, much like the Total Perspective Vortex in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy extrapolated the entire universe from a small cupcake. The belief of all...

"You think so little of me that you can't even be bothered to turn up on time? That is soooo hot."

If you've enjoyed a show for decades, do you drop it the moment you perceive a drop in quality?

One problem is that the show is inconsistent in its definitions. Like, when they talk in this episode about gods who are fed by stories and are essential to humanity such that killing them would inflict terrible harm on the world, I don't think these are the same beings as the gods from outside...

Very nice to see that incarnation of the Doctor back, if only for a brief moment. I'd love to see more - three seasons and a movie please!

The Machine Stops by E M Forster. A science fiction short story, featuring a global information network, videoconferencing and automated mod-cons, about the dangers of allowing technology to isolate us from reality. Published in 1909.

He's aware that Cassian is checking in under a ditterent name this time, and without the proper Imperial travel documentation. He doesn't know he's a rebel, he just knows he's doing something clandestine and was sympathetic to Ghorman on his last visit.

Yeah, but it's right under a flightpath and there's no soundproofing.

Again, our fortunes vary. :) I order groceries for delivery a couple of times a week, and have rarely had more than a single item substituted or unavailable in any given order. Occasionally the substitution may be something I don't care for (a sandwich with egg in it, for instance), but I can't...

What internet? Nobody has any money to keep network services running, and nobody can afford to connect to them anyway.

I knew the blaster was familiar and thought it was the one Cassian gave him, but I couldn't remember if Vel had any reason to recall it.
