Can somebody please explain to me how Jennifer Hetrick was never cast as a one-episode Seinfeld girlfriend?

His poor ear looks like it's been infected with space ticks, though.

I hope they got to the root of the problem.

Seriously. One eventually learns most of the ways that Word breaks reality itself to provide mediocre desktop publishing and organizational features in an upjumped text editor, but sometimes you just spam vaguely related keys until it sorta works.

Jimmy in Contracts still has a facial tic from that SoW in aught-nine.

Yeah, that’s the part that doesn’t work. Even if they needed to cram the exposition in between the world-changing call to action and the hero’s refusal, you have to tie them together and give then some stakes: “Before I decide anything, you need to tell me WTF she’s talking about” or the like. But then you need more dialogue and it changes the tone of the scene.

It tracks better to have us drop in on the almost completed exposition conversation/rest and recovery after the sand people attack, before jumping into the next crisis.

And yeah, it’s completely possible that Lucas originally intended for Padme to be the one Leia was talking about, but the point is, the movies don’t actually specify if she meant Padme or the middle wife, so it can still be explained.

1. Good. What a horrible person. "In the phone recordings, Ryan uses a anti-gay slur against David Coulter, the county’s highest elected official, who is gay. She also referred to Blacks in the U.S. as lazy. 'I’m not systemically racist. I’m a new racist,' said Ryan, who was first elected in 2010."

2. I'm not sure schadenfreude and relief that some asshole finally found the limits of their insulation from consequences quite counts as "uplifting."

See, I went completely the other direction. We know from the Dagobah scene that Luke already knows Leia is his sister, and he's dealing with some pretty serious parent shit right now, so it would be on his mind. There is almost no reason for him to ask that question and specify "real" mother unless he already knew (from their years of acquaintance by this point) that she was adopted and that this would be his last chance to ask her and get a response uncolored by the impending revelation.

Lucas ignored that addition when making episode I.

I mean.... this is just what he did. A lot. And not just with EU stuff. The mental gymnastics necessary to square the scripts of the OT with the PT would impress Simone Biles.

Sorry. The poster says to give it the beans. 🤷

Literally. They are all forming some kind of axis... of evil...

Note to that Katalin Novák, part of Orban's party, had to resign due to the fallout from pardoning an asshole who was in jail for pressuring child victims to withdraw their testimony against a literal pedophile.

I'm not much of a coder, but even if they're doing something procedural, it can and should still have a blacklist.
