Spoilers, if you've only seen the first five, you've mostly been dealing with the slow (but necessary) setup - episode 6 in particular is pretty great as it starts to show just how competent (and therefore how much of a threat) the empire really is. That said, I think I prefer the setting of...

This is one hell of a costly game for the Bills.

This wasn't the worst Star Wars product made, but in retrospect it wasn't worth my time to get a couple of decent lightsaber scenes, at the cost of all but assassinating Thrawn as a live action villain. (He's a blue dude that's good at justifying his failures. Be afraid!) Much like the sequels...

We're just four weeks in and I'm willing to write off half the teams. Hell, I don't know if I would bet a single dollar on anyone other than Bills / Dolphins / Ravens / Chiefs / Eagles / Cowboys / Lions / 49ers / Seahawks to even make the playoffs.

This is getting much further out of control than I figured, woof. Packers injuries are really stacking up.

This. Unlike the 80s, where nearly all movies were made for bored teen males, tv and movies now being written for only women is because men switched to videogames years ago. That's also the reason why sports TV contracts are ridiculous: they are the only media men - especially high value...

Hati continues to all but tell Baylan "We're getting involved even further with the witches? You do realize we are the baddies then.", so her being the one (and not Thrawn) to turn against the witches seems inevitable. There's only, what, two episodes left, and Ahsoka hasn't even landed yet...

He's not supposed to be a badass, he's supposed to be Moriarty with a navy - a tactical and strategic genius that knows you better than you know yourself and will use that to confound and defeat you. The other half is Thrawn, at least the still canon prequel books Thrawn, isn't evil. He just...

The Captain rides again.

Also, I have to ask: What the heck happened with non-lethal damage? Blunt weapons, contagion, short circuit, etc. all lost their non-lethal flag, but takedowns still give you the non-lethal option, and apparently there's a weapon mod to reenable non-lethal somewhere. You can argue if non-lethal...

Clothing is weird, as its not completely cosmetic. It doesn't give armor - except for a couple the chest piece web vests that still do - but pieces do give other effects. I'm currently running around with a quickhack upload reducing eye visor, a camo balaclava (and camo does reduce enemies'...

I've never hit 20 breach on any playthrough, even with always allocating points to Int so that breach stays uncapped. Keep in mind, my last playthrough I maxed out engineering (after every combat skill)... by mass crippling, buying immunity to my own grenades, and applying sticky grenades...

Don't forget geography, while Cincy to Baltimore is kind of a treck, everything else in the division is a day trip if you're committed. Nothing is sweeter than being there beating the other guys in their house, or more painful than stewing about almost winning while sitting in traffic for five...

I haven't heard, will we be able to respec stats outside of the patch respec? Or more to the point, do we still get perk points from skill level ups? That character builder assumes a flat 80 perk points, and I didn't think everyone got a flat amount prior, due to different stats granting...

Packers didn't have their #1 RB or WR. That said, they could use some skill players to emerge / be drafted.

I'm hoping

IMO it's way too early to say Love will be a franchise QB. That said, I don't wish misfortune on Rodgers, but am glad we got something out of the contract we signed with him last year, but that would be independent if Rodgers started one game or 20 this year. Honestly, the poor Jets are the...

Still, the number of draft picks we got, for four plays, from the Jets. Woof. And can you imagine the additional impact to the Jets if Rodgers hadn't cut his own salary? You would have to think the league takes this as a precautionary tale and doesn't make a major trade for anyone 35+ again.

3/4ths of this game was miserable, but not the last quarter.

Jets defense is giving it their all. Just a bummer, was hoping for an option other than 49ers / Eagles / Cowboys / Chiefs / Ravens / Bills / Bengals (having to win on the road all the way) this year.

This is legitimately painful to watch, both in who is winning and how nothing is working for the other team.

This is the level of offense I expected out of the Packers, at least to start the season.

The bottom two floors of Target's Worldwide Headquarters in Floydeapolis are a standard retail location, and same deal there. You would think seeing that reality on a daily basis that might make the corporation question the trajectory of their political support, but what do I know.

I've been assuming the Cardinals get the #1 pick since free agency started.

There is zero chance someone with those eyes is of euro descent. Internet says father's Italian, mother is Chinese.

Given how Just-In-Time movie making is nowadays, unless they've finished primary photography, maybe even reshoots, I would toss out any Spring premiere dates. Which is probably the real reason for the delay - sure, not having publicity would hurt Twune's box office in 2023, but not having any...

The Internet (TM) has noticed that Sam Witwer (the lead in The Force Unleashed games) had a voice credit in the second episode, so maybe they are doing an adaptation of Starkiller as the mystery Inquisitor? Honestly, I'm up for it - nowadays you don't put someone in a mask unless their identity...

It's telling that I don't remember any of the names or terminology less than a year out, but the future timeline plans on setting off a nuke to wipe out their city in the present timeline, so Hit Girl generates another timeline in the future, somehow transfers her consciousness to that third...

I took Hati as the other half of Ahsoka's redemption arc - Ahsoka gets to overcome her own padawan experience with Sabine, while bringing Hati over to the light side like she failed to do with Anakin. Hati's pretty clearly conflicted - she's skeeved out by working with a witch, gives Baylan the...

I believe most of the behind the camera personnel had swapped to the Fallout show. I'm torn; while it was one of the few 2022 shows I watched, I also think this would have Westworld-ed and become unrecognizable before long (especially given the nonsensical finale).

That was the least final finale I think I've ever seen. Apparently the boys hated ending the series on the idea of Hank and Dean being estranged, and Doc / Monarch being neutral, and managed to get WB to fund a 90 minute movie to fix just those two things? Weird. Hell, Venture Bros was my...

Is it more or less weird that the last time around (in 2007), the writer's guild president was Patric Verrone - Wikipedia, one of the main writers for Futurama?

While I'd like to say this was Patton, a number of youtube shows have received Emmy nominations in recent years (like Honest Trailers). Now they just need to give Ryan George (from Pitch Meetings) a writing nom and I'll consider them caught up with the times.

The show also had years long gaps between seasons, retconned or just ignored previous backstories, and constantly dropped / focuaed on new characters. (Remember when the Mr Fantastic parody went evil and bordered on being a main antagonist? I don't.) Personally, I am a little worried this will...

Nah, reality TV had already reached saturation by the last strike, the biggest difference was importing foreign English-language shows (e.g. from Canada).

Fucking Illinoisan taking shots at The Rave? Every non-superstar act has been through there.

Hopkins just sets off all the alarm bells to me. 1) The dead money hit was $22Mil - that's removed from the team salary cap whether he stays or goes. Therefore Arizona didn't think he was worth paying $8 Million to play for them this year. 2) More to the point, Arizona could have structured a...

To be fair, has the emergency (non-QB) ever won (as opposed to merely held on to) a victory in our lifetimes? That said, them taking one of the 53-man roster spots makes a dicier proposition. I would expect every elimination game to have one, but don't think most regular season games will bother.

Did Ant man fail or is GotG the only sub-brand that can bring in anything but the hardcore? I suspect its really the latter, and doubt anything will do GotG numbers until Deadpool 3.

Nah, all of 10.1s issues (to me) were already kicking in for 10.0.5 - a smallish area that only the group stuff has any value, but the player base drops off massively almost instantly, since constantly inflating ilevels means theres no reason to grind anything.
