@shriramk more accounts = more free space?

@AJSWritesthings @andrewliptak prequel era as a Game of Thrones or Expanse-esque prestige political drama (like we just got with Andor) would have been so lit

@AJSWritesthings @andrewliptak Honestly a lot of the problems with 1&2 are fixed with better editing (The Phantom Edit and Attack of the Phantom are genuinely good), and Anakin’s face-heel turn in 3 is wayyyy more believable after character arc in Clone Wars

@AJSWritesthings @andrewliptak tbh I would kill for a Star Wars movie where George handled the world building and overall plot summary and JJ scripted the dialogue, but between two failure modes I’ll honestly take any of the prequel movies over any of the JJ movies all day long.

@AJSWritesthings @andrewliptak My initial reaction to TFA was "woo yeah" and then it's gotten worse with every viewing. My initial reaction to TLJ was "...huh" but it's gotten better with every viewing.

@KevinCarson1 @ami_angelwings the last half of Season 4 of the 2000s BSG reboot was the _worst_ failure to stick the landing of any show I've ever watched.

@dan @djg LEGO abandoning their pneumatic line before I was old enough to stockpile a good collection ranks pretty high on my list of personal grievances.

@charliejane Or for that matter CS Lewis’s “That Hideous Strength”

@charliejane I mean you can go all the way back Wells and “In the Days of the Comet” or “A Modern Utopia” are just blatantly unrepentantly political commentary.
