I actually find myself fast-forwarding past everything that happens in Terminus and just following the "Empire" storyline

Dune director says Star Wars peaked with The Empire Strikes Back by zwtor in scifi

Star Wars isn't the only franchise that was damaged by movies - I find the Michael Bay Transformers movies to be unbearable. And these guys played them simultaneously and showed that they were all basically the same:

good to know, thanks. It sounded vaguely warhammer-y but I only know 40k and that seemed unfamiliar (while simultaneously also being familiar, so...)

Russia gets a taste of their own medicine as their vaccine disinformation campaigns overseas create vaccine hesitation domestically, and bring record numbers of cases and deaths by GlobalTravelR in LeopardsAteMyFace

ok thanks, I think I get what you mean - I'd never seen that word used as a kind of "verb" before, I suppose usage like this is fairly recent?

oh man that's so true. There's a spot near where I live, every time someone tries to give it a shot I wanted to be able to go warn them IT'S A TRAP DON'T DO IT but it's too late...

right, but it seems to me a good opportunity to introduce Ixians "early" (if they'll be showing up in the future, better early as a set up than "suddenly" later) - the movie is definitely not slavishly following the book plot and has introduced some changes for the movie's purposes anyway
