Good for both of you!

Qué lástima.

Eh, I think IMDb counts as numbers, but admittedly, most people don’t contribute to IMDb.

I just mean that you can’t qualify something a failure if a minority of people think it failed. It would be a failure objectively speaking if the people who liked it were in the minority.

I would not say Obi-Wan was a failure… I’ve yet to come across someone in person who’s seen the show and doesn’t love it.

Shoot, sorry to hear that, man. That’s never fun.

I remember loving the concept when I watched it. I don’t remember how good the plot was.

You’d be surprised what a pair of coveralls and a ladder will do in lieu of a security clearance 😉

Indeed. My dad used to do sales/installs and when doing a quotation in a prison, he wasn’t subjected to a lot of the regular restrictions (since he needed tools for measuring and such). He was allowed to walk right in, no questions asked, with a bunch of stuff that prisoners could have potentially used to get themselves out of jail. When you look like you have a job to do, no one’s going to stop and ask what you’re doing.

Half an hour, assuming it’s the only shows you’re trying to keep up with. Most people have several shows on the go. For me, the choice becomes one between Marvel and everything else (though usually I can keep up with both Star Wars and Marvel, if that’s all I watch).

You never saw Aliens? It’s incredible.

No, he said he never saw the sequels.

Agreed, but mostly because I’m a busy adult now. There was a time when I would have loved this pace. Now it’s just hard to keep up.

It could be that YouTube’s at fault then. I’ll have to check it out on Disney+.

I’m starting to wonder if the ships just look cheap on my computer screen. Does no one else notice that they seem badly edited into several shots?

Yeah, it seems ridiculously dumb in a show featuring a guy who kills people and in a franchise where some of the main characters are slaves at some point. If it were a kids show it would be different.

I’m looking forward to this, though I really hope some of those shots aren’t finished. The composition of several shots in that trailer makes the starships look ridiculously fake.

Yeah, it concerns me a little bit. The only solution would basically be to replace our bee population with Asian bees…

Why would the decline of masculinity be worth celebrating? The decline of toxic masculinity, sure, but that’s not masculinity…

I was being tongue-in-cheek. Doesn’t translate well in text, I know.

Ah, gotcha.

[Removed personal info that could be traced back to me]

I got to meet the Pope today, so that was pretty cool.

LOL, it’s funny how the subconscious works…

Google is your friend… He was the third guy in space and the first NASA astronaut to orbit the earth.

I think people who say that are more concerned about rapid social change than actual economic policies. But I could be wrong.

Haha! I hadn’t even thought of what Obi-Wan does for the continuity there…

I’m not sure why. Roe v. Wade isn’t about whether abortion should be allowed or not. It’s about whether the U.S. Constitution guarantees a right to it. It’s mind-boggling that people could read abortion rights into the Constitution.

That’s always a good feeling. Keep it up!
