Right? And people dump on the Finn arc (or say he doesn't have one), but you watch TFA, and at no point is he concerned with the resistance. For him, it's Poe and Ray (mostly Rey). TLJ picks right up on that. He needs Rose & DJ playing angel & devil on his shoulders to figure out who he wants to be.

This thread does such a great job unpacking TLJ. My friends and I can't even talk about the flick anymore, because few of them really see everything going on in that flick and how deliberate, carefully thought through, and *consistent* it is with the journeys the characters were already on.

It was his release right before Human Wheels (just a couple years before). I was a senior in high school, so it was right in that sweet spot of time for latching onto an album for the rest of your life. :)

No lies detected. But, man, Whenever We Wanted will always be peak Mellencamp for me. Just a great rock album.

I feel attacked.

I appreciate that! I'm good for now, but I'll let you know if I start getting curious to see how Plex sharing works. (I have a full version of Plex as well. Just not very much in it.)

Seeing these posts last night motivated me to finally go down the rabbit hole to locate these editions. Opening up the files this morning and seeing SW (just replaying clips until I can do a full viewing) the way I want to remember it is an incredible thing. Thank you!! :)
