US Politics
China enjoys the buffer that North Korea provides. China does not want US troops at it's border and will defend that position. The only single state, negotiated outcome, solution will ban the US from having troops on the Korean Peninsula or you can expect and military response from China.

If I remember correctly, Hawkins was hired this way as well, without Popp's input.

The Star Wars Thread
Ren is a Skywalker, so the lineage continues. I would like to have seen Rey's parentage tie in with Palpatine's bloodline. Make sense why they would leave her on a desert planet, away from everyone. Also makes sense why she has such a strong connection to the force and some darkside leanings.

Just keep it simple. Go with what makes sense and what does the least damage.

I'm not sure they had much of a choice. I think they were about to offer Reinbold the HC gig. I mean, they couldn't even come to terms with Bellefeuille. Bellefeuile!!

It's just revisionist history to suggest we're less humane now. Everyone pines for the "good 'ol days" that never existed the way someone remembers them.

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
Although... in agreement with what you're saying, social media has pushed all these themes. If you complain about refing (which I do regularly), there's plenty of social media discussions to support your opinion. Any topic gets beaten to death.

Is any of this new, though? I think it comes down to saturation.

Now, imagine Tarkin. The fact that Hux was ridiculed and his decisions were undermined so frequently, makes him so weak. Is he supposed to be intimidating or the butt of jokes?

Those are Canadian yards, so, the equivalent of 3 American yards. Really, with the exchange, he had 777 yards over four games. That's almost 200 per game. And, I think the Riders are getting rings and a trophy for making it to the East Final. What more can he accomplish up north?

And with football, seemingly, on the down swing. What gap do they expect to fill? People can't get enough football? Well, that's what they thought prior to Thursday night games. Apparently, people can get enough football. EDIT: And, he's going to have his own moment of reckoning when the wrestlers start suing the WWE (and winning) over concussions.

If Walters believes in the talent, he won't care what the DC thinks. I think they're working towards a few deals but are trying to figure out the market to determine the right price. I bet once they get Randle signed (top priority), they'll get the others too.

I'm really happy with Dressler's re-signing. When he's in the line-up, he's incredibly effective at getting the ball and drawing coverage away from our other receivers. And, he's a heck of a guy.

I hope so. We really need to see Ren at the height of his powers and a real opposition from all the star systems. The way Jedi ended, it was "unfortunate" for bulk of the Imperial fleet to be at new Death Star and for every ranking member to get caught up in the destruction. I'm not sure how many First Order dreadnaughts there were but more than one, obviously. Kind of wished they saved the Star Killer now for the third episode.

Yes, they did. It was the talk when they got on the Falcon.

They couldn't send out a signal with their available resources, which is why they were trying to get to that planet (forget the name). They finally got the signal out and replies started coming as they made their escape on the Millennium Falcon.

I'll add, this could be my least favourite of all the films. That includes Jar Jar Binks and midichlorian ruining, Phantom Menace. At least, that had an epic lightsaber duel. This had.... ?

Well, no, as they said in the film, all of their allies have been alerted in the outer rim. The cavalry is coming now.

That not good. Too much comedy relief. No one was a serious character. The story meandered everywhere. The second of the trilogy is where the bad guys win and there is very little hope but this was not that. I do like the story arc of Ren and Rey being connected. It's a unique way to tell the conflicted character story. I dont understand why they killed Snoke but I liked the way they did it. Overall, disappointed. Rogue One was very better and gritier.

Almost like they need a better coordinator.
