20 years ago I joined Outpst Gallifrey under the name of Antbert, which was inspired by several of the names of Dilbert characters. *sigh*
Had fun on the forum, mainly avoiding the serious sections, as they were too serious.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The trilogy as a whole would have benefited from a storyline...
it is not interested in plot, it is not interested in worldbuilding, it is not interested in anything except throwing random disconnected snapshots of nostalgia at you
rise of skywalker kicks over the sandbox and leaves you uninterested in star wars in a way the prequels never did

I feel comfortable saying Rise of Skywalker was the worst Star Wars because it is the only one I genuinely do not remember enough of it to offer a coherent explanation of the plot. I think a knife and Poe’s ex-wife were somehow involved.

Sometimes when I'm out I need to message my wife, but as I don't normally have my glasses on, I sound a bit like Offer Crabtree from 'Allo 'Allo.
For example...

I started off pacing myself with the latest Babylon 5 rewatch, but on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I watched 9 episodes each day.
Love this show more than I can say.
Hats off you you @straczynski.bsky.social!
BTW, Marcus's use of expletives is perfect. Did you catch any flack for it?
