So last night, the Netflix Conversation went something like:
"So, police procedural with the Cat from Red Dwarf, or the latest season of Agents of SHIELD where the writers have jumped the shark so badly, the shark that Fonzie jumps over is actually Jabberjaw?"
(sigh) "I don't care; you pick."
(scrolling) "Hey! They've got The Last Jedi streaming now!"
"Sure. How bad can it be?"
(an hour and a half of viciously MST3King it later)
I honestly cannot believe it's really that bad.
Maybe I'm hallucinating.
They could have afforded script writers if they'd wanted them.
What in the everloving f*** did they do to Star Wars?
I hate people. I hate people so much.
AND WE'RE ABOUT TO SIT DOWN AND WATCH THE OTHER HALF OF IT.

Older ginger with more wrinkles gets you a spicier tea.

I'll keep that in mind.

The "older ginger with more wrinkles" might also slap you if you call her that.

Definitely not being sarcastic |

About the Henderson waves:
True to its name, the bridge mimics the undulating shape of a wave, curving and twisting along its entire 274-metre length. Its form is anchored by steel arches and filled in with curved ‘ribs’—slats of Balau wood, a dense hardwood used in heavy construction and which is found only in Southeast Asia.
Its shape allows it to have hidden recesses and shell-like niches, where pedestrians can sit and observe their surroundings. Because there’s privacy and room to rest, the bridge is a popular spot on weekends with couples, families with children and joggers.

Wrong. That is obviously an early version of WALL-E who's down on his luck and begging for change.

I ran into 2 Coloradans on the way to the Henderson waves. They were puffing and panting but at least I think the guy was over 60 since his hair and beard were white. I wonder if Americans as a whole really don’t do stairs well…
Nah. To many of us to lump everyone in a group like that.

And the only thing I’ve had for lunch is a large Korean pear, so I’m going to fiddle with my instant cupcakes again.

I do think people forget that america is so huge it can be drastically diverse. Going from one coast to the other is like going to a different country in some ways.

Anything's better then Yuuzhan Vong.
I thought they sounded neat.
I didn't read the novels, but they still seemed like a cool idea.
You see once the Yuuzhan Vong came into the picture it all ended up as an intergalatical war where good people died. And the horrors of war irreparably corrupted good people(think PTSD), and lead to some rather nasty stuff in legacy of the force series.
Like Chewbacca and Anakin Solo(Luke and Leia's son) died in the Yuuzhan Vong war.
Jania had to kill her twin brother Jacen, who fell to the dark side in legacy of the force series.
Jania and Jacen= Luke And Leia's kids
I really can't imagine how heartrending it is watching someone you grew up with together fall to the dark side. There will be all that "why didn't I see it coming", "why couldn't I have prevented that", and how immensely painful it must be to have to kill your own brother. And at the end of the day Jacen's motivations weren't bad, he just wanted peace for the galaxy, it was the ways he was using to achieve them...
Which really made the whole thing too dark for my taste. So anything without Yuuzhan Vong is a good thing!

Gotta ditto this, thought they seemed really interesting.
As for the Legacy storyline being too dark. I respectfully disagree, though I will say its a personal taste kind of thing.
Its heartrending for sure, though I don't really think to an extend were it is turning me off.
Then again, I'm very much a glutton for crapsack-worlds in RPGs, games and other fiction.
