Season 2, episodes 7, 8, and 9 showcase some of the most compelling sequences on TV. Diego Luna, a man under enormous pressure ready to come apart at the seams, run by master manipulator Stellan Skarsgård. Andy Serkis. Forrest Whittaker. Empire baddies Denise Gough and Ben Mendelssohn. What about Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, who gives a masterful portrayal of brittle grace over a thinly-veiled nervous breakdown?
There was very little room left in the storyline chronology for a third season, and I suppose I could just watch Rogue One yet again, but knowing that doesn’t ameliorate my disappointment that we don’t get any more Andor.
Andor stayed true to the original Star Wars ethos. Rogue One as well, aspects of Solo, and some elements of the Mandalorian. Best Star Wars offerings outside the original trilogy screenplays hands down. Fight me.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’ll fight a bitch that claims anything other than Andor is the smartest and most watchable serialized offering on any streaming medium, with arguably the most compelling characters in the entire Star Wars arc outside of the original trilogy (hat tip to @furzegelo and @OldQwertybastard).
Thank you one and all; now I’m off to go assault dickhead @crt_alt_esc for not knowing his/her (meager and uninformed) place.
Snowcrash is such an entertaining romp, made all the more spectacular considering that when published, ideas like avatar and cyberspace (both terms coined by Stephenson I’m told) were wildly futuristic, bordering on precognitive, considered now passé only a generation later.
Your salt flats comment calls to mind certain areas of the Exumas, an archipelago in the Bahamas, specifically in the cuts between cays where the tidal flows drain from the sounds onto or off of the flats. It is possible to sail into what appears to be uninterrupted shallow ocean, anchor, sleep, and wake to find yourself floating in what is essentially a puddle surrounded by limitless, gently undulating waves of glistening sand in every direction, trapped until the tide reverses. Surreal, ethereal, alien.
Chaps are also popular in fetish fashion and the leather subculture, where they often are tightly fitted and worn without jeans or other garments layered beneath them other than a codpiece. They can be made of leather, patent leather, rubber, or vinyl and are worn for decoration serving no protective purpose. Worn in this manner, they are colloquially referred to as "assless" chaps, despite the redundancy of the term(all chaps are "assless"; chaps with a seat would be called trousers). More often, this style of chaps are referred to as "bar" chaps.
I didn’t see @Apeman42@lemmy.world coming either
Holy shit, a real-life faux shittymorph encounter that I fell for hook, line, and sinker.
God bless.
Some rapier wits around here, any way you slice it.
Was speaking more towards policy and process rather than mode of transport.
Disingenuous at best, blatant obfuscation at worst.
The dearth of detail highlights the editorial stance of the publication; the term that comes to mind is cowardice.
How very strange that the article makes no mention of how the Tate brothers found themselves in the United States in the first place…
Right? Every time I fly United it reminds me how much I love Delta.
Excellent post. Well done.
Mostly for violating the anti-sniveling policy.
Whelp, gonna go out on a limb and posit that I’ll be able to recall the lead character’s name. ‘Cause of the title, you see.
lol. Ok princess.
I must have struck a nerve implying that Jar Jar Binks might have less character depth than any of the Andor cast.
Surely you jest.

Stephenson is a seer.
Unrelated, but I can never not recommend Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon .
Magnum opus. ~1000 pages of what-happens-next, unresolved until the very last paragraph of the very last page.

Vindication!

Those may well be jodhpurs, if I am not mistaken.
Incidentally, are not all chaps inherently assless?
With the exception of these three chaps shown here, I mean. Lots of ass here.
Fortuna for the win! Cheers!
And don’t miss the hot springs.
Otherworldly. Moreso if you go early; you’ll have the whole place to yourself.
