Changing

Yes.

The very basics of the universe is that there was a republic that lasted thousands of years, but then was toppled and a totalitarian regime was instituted (The Empire.) After 20 years, a group of rebels toppled The Empire and made a new republic.

Andor takes place during the 20 years of the empire, focusing on the formation of the rebellion. It is significantly lower fantasy than most of Star Wars, which features characters who can channel mystical powers (The Force.) The Force is almost completely absent from Andor. A lot of people who don’t really like the supernatural elements like Andor for that reason.

I think the author just doesn’t get the story The Last of Us is telling.

It’s a story about loss, and how that changes people. Both characters start the story having lost someone, and neither wants to form a relationship again, but then they find each other. And they’re so afraid to go through loss again that they’ll do monstrous and selfish things to avoid it.

We’re not supposed to see Joel and Ellie as heroes. They’re complex characters that we’re supposed to empathize with even though we know they are broken people.

Go was the one connected to a cable subscription. Now was the cable-free subscription.

Marketing team: “There must be some combination of colors and letters that will make our brand a smash hit. We just need to find them!”

Kristi Noem will be personally hosting the final challenge: a shooting competition at a puppy mill.

Haven’t watched it yet, but I’m skeptical of any travel show that doesn’t star Karl Pilkington.

What a terrible title.

Breakfast for dinner. I find deserts too arid for my taste.

Horror has always been a source of social commentary, though. Going all the way back to at least Frankenstein, published in 1818.

Ah. I haven’t switched to Wayland yet so I wasn’t aware of that issue.

There’s also the unofficial flatpak, which works rather well.

I should be more clear: “Huge mistake” means it’s an opinion piece from a person who has a clear bias, not factual journalism. And the fact that the title gives no indication of what it’s actually about means the only thing I have to go on is the author disagrees with something, but won’t say what until I pay them for an opinion I didn’t ask for.

I would personally rather be given the information and form my own opinion.

Exactly. People have levied the same complaints about musicals, yet we don’t see videos floating around of musicals without music. Both are genres that aren’t trying to be entirely realistic.

I’m personally kind of over laugh track shows simply because they feel performative. I’d rather watch a comedy that has a plot than watch comedy built like stand-up: with a setup, punchline, and then pause for audience response. It’s why so many of them have catchphrases like “Did I do that?” “Bazinga!” and “We were on a break!” It’s fine if others enjoy different setups for the same joke, but I’d personally rather be more immersed in the show than constantly be reminded I’m supposed to laugh.

Which aircraft? What are the flight numbers?

There’s no answer because the title is misleading.

Clickbait title that is clearly partisan, looks like not worth reading regardless of content.

I hope we get a GI Robot cameo.

Most controversial story: The Timeless Children.

The most recent episode references it with a Fugitive Doctor cameo.

Finally got around to watching Stargate SG-1, so Tobin Bell. Not sure if it’s in the true spirit of the OP as it was before Saw made him famous, but he absolutely stood out from the rest.
