I hope we learn who Dark Helmet's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate was.

how the fuck do you dance for 2 years about "we can't help ukraine too much, russia might react!" and then let this happen

I've never engaged with STO, but whichever enterprise Shelby was driving for that 30 seconds I'm glad died because the design was abysmal.

Everything you've pointed to in this thread, yes, but for me it's Elnor. Raffi's primary story motivation for S2 simply written out of S3.
Oh and doing Ro, Shelby, and many other TNG era cameos so, so dirty.

So much bad on Picard. It really dialed up to maximum the problem of all the new series: really promising premises wasted in the most frustrating way imaginable.

I, perhaps mercifully, never made it that far.

The entirety of (Disney!) canon between the PT and OT is centered around the slow revelation of a decades long, galaxy spanning project to create one gun.
The sequel trilogy ends with a ("somehow"!) resurrected Palpatine having magicked together a fleet of thousands of them.
Anyway I miss the old.

There's so many more interesting places to take the New Republic that aren't "get's murked by an overgrown imperial militia"
I want a series with the gravitas of Andor about Garm Bel Iblis.

Oh I know! the first time I read the Thrawn series was the 90s.
What I'm saying, more broadly, is that the direction the old-EU wanted to take the franchise was more interesting, story-rich, and (for the reasons you named) diverse. The sequel trilogy closes off SO MUCH storytelling possibility.

The Blank Check podcast has been covering Amy Heckerling and the hugeness of this movie (two sequels and a TV show!) can't be overstated, nor the lack of staying power (all over within five years).

My brain still mostly rejects the idea that NYT columnist is...a year younger than I am.

Added it to my Libby tags, I've been alternating fiction and non lately so it'll be next up for me after I finish this Star Wars novel.

That podcast btw is called "You Have Permission" and the host, Dan Koch, is a clinical psychologist and Christian who was once the head of the the (general market) early 00s emo band Sherwood.

I haven't, but I'm intrigued. I hadn't THOUGHT MUCH about CCM in a few years till I discovered a faith-adjacent podcast created by a (not CCM) former musician and found some CCM chats in his archive.
I listened to his Joy Williams chat right before the Tait news broke.

Almost did a spittake reading that after dropping Newsboys from their Canadian tour, the promoter replaced that 40-year-old zombie CCM act with a 30-year-old zombie CCM act, Sanctus Real.

While soldiers deploy to downtown Los Angeles to deal with a small protest, freight trains carrying tanks have moved into DC for Trump's bizarre military parade.
The absurd theatrics are a sign of a weak, frightened regime. They're flailing. The desperation is palpable.
