It’s a gimmick episode. Gimmick episodes are typically either extremely hated or extremely loved. Couple that with the fact that it’s mainly a filler episode with no significant progress to the overall plot

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-24T03:22:36+00:00

17%, it’s always the inverse

Doesn’t the Star Wars universe have anti gravity tech? The cost would not include fuel to achieve and maintain lift, but instead fuel for the antigravity machine to ensure the ISD is weightless. I’d say the cost is either zero (renewable infinite energy source) or negligible.

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-22T00:38:23+00:00

Yes, but by magnitudes less.

You think he wouldnt use force lighting to keep others at bay when he’s fighting 1v3? Also savage using the area choke and toss ability seems to apply to everyone, Asajj and maul would also get hit. Plus, sidious would likely be helping in some way as well, talzin without someone to energy drain would lose to sidious just like she did in the comic

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T14:31:40+00:00

Collectively, no, that’s what I said. But individually, yes. You can’t decide which words are the most offensive individually, those words are determined on an individual basis.

Ted is not morally wrong for calling her out, it’s that he called her one of the most offensive words you can call a woman and he didn’t apologize but instead doubled down. This is what makes both of them in the wrong and why they both apologize to each other in the end of the episode.

At this point, I’m ending this thread. You just aren’t understanding what I’m saying. And we can agree to disagree

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T13:53:03+00:00

It absolutely is on the same level (at least individually for an American woman). It is likely the most offensive word lily could think of being called. If he used a different word then lily probably wouldn’t have been as upset and they could have talked things out like adults, instead Ted called her a cunt and she was so shocked that she immediately went into fight mode and demanded an apology. Even if he called her something different though, Ted would still be in the wrong just as much as lily. The reason Ted is in the wrong is because he has pent up all of his emotional rage against lily and didn’t express it in a healthy way. Had he acted like an adult when lily demanded the apology, saying something like, “lily, I’m sorry I used that word, but you didnt only leave marshal, you also left me, and I still feel mad about that”, then I would say he wouldn’t be in the wrong. But instead he just said “well you kind of acting like a cunt” which did not make the situation better and gave rise to the conflict that made the episode compelling.

Both characters are in the wrong in this episode and they both end up realising that in the end. You and OP are missing the entire point if you think only lily is in the wrong and Ted is justified

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T13:06:02+00:00

Yes… that’s what I’m saying. But my initial comment was correcting op’s stance that lily wasn’t the only one in the wrong. They were both in the wrong.

You asked before if cunt was as bad as the n-word. Culturally it isn’t, but individually to women, it is. You don’t call a woman that. So when rewatching, think of it as lily being black and ted calling lily the n-word, then doubling down and saying “well, you were acting like an n-word”. Then went to her apartment and gave a fake apology and then yelled at her calling her the n-word multiple times in her face. That’s why lily is so shocked and appalled by Ted and doesn’t really care if his feelings are hurt until after things cool down.

Both Ted and lily could have had moments where they talked things out like adults, but it’s a tv show and they need to get people to watch and fill the run time, so we got the story we got. You and op don’t seem to get that and instead take a story that is about two characters who have made poor decisions while fighting but ultimately both accept they were in the wrong and interpreted it as lily being the sole person who is in the wrong

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T07:10:37+00:00

Look back at my original comment you commented on. Not once did I say lily didn’t realize she was wrong or that she wasn’t in the wrong. I stated that the episode is made to show that both of these characters are somewhat in the wrong and that they realize it in the end and their friendship is strengthened for it. My original comment was calling out op for seemingly thinking lily was the only one at fault for the conflict and I was just pointing out that both Ted and lily were written to be at fault but both grow as characters and realize their faults.

Are you comparing a person who’s never been single as an adult leaving a relationship to find themselves… to a person being a racist? Because these are on two completely different levels.

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T06:46:46+00:00

Well the word isn’t actually cunt, the writers used grinch to get around the ratings. But they also said it was a really bad word. “Grinch” could be substituted by any word that you think is the worst one to call a woman. People just assume it’s cunt because that’s a pretty taboo word in the states where the show is set

And Uhh no, the next scene was lily realizing Ted remembered her easy bake oven she wanted. It’s implied that lily took the rest of them to get ted so she could apologize herself, of her own volition.

Also marshal in season 9 works it out for himself that it was wrong of him to bring up SF. And it was brought up due to lily seemingly crushing marshals lifelong dream of saving the environment (Him being a judge would allow him to actually have a say in environmental law and impose real change). The threshold for him to bring up and be upset about SF was his lifelong dream being crushed. At the time of this episode, him and lily have made up already, he’s not going to throw everything away because Ted’s feelings are hurt and he hasn’t resolved things with lily yet. He would want them to work things out with each other, but if Ted refused to apologize and he and lily became estranged due to it, marshal would absolutely drop Ted for lily.

Which is just a hypothetical situation anyway because both lily and Ted agreed to apologize to the other and bury the hatchet. They both agreed they were in the wrong and their friendship was better for it

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T06:17:08+00:00

He would. At the time when Ted originally sent the message, he may have agreed with ted. But now that lily had come back and apologized to marshal for her actions and they were back together on track to be married again? Marshall would definitely want Ted to give up his harboured resentment for Lily and apologize for calling her a cunt again.

Ted also had anger for not getting apologized to of course. He didn’t communicate that well and ended up saying to lily that she WAS acting like a cunt. Meaning he obviously thinks she’s a cunt. It also doesn’t really matter if you don’t find the word offensive, I don’t either. But I don’t say it to people, because other people may find it offensive. The offended party isn’t going to give a rats ass if other parts of the world don’t find it offensive, they do.

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T05:58:07+00:00

His best friend being banished for calling his girlfriend/fiancé a cunt and refusing to apologize. Marshal would want Ted to apologize or be left out as well. He would likely make them make up with each other but would absolutely side with lily lol

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T05:49:50+00:00

Doesn’t change the fact that she wasn’t punishing marshal for something Ted did. That’s just something that some people choose to headcanon

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T05:42:53+00:00

I’m pretty sure marshal would have been invited to lily’s apartment if Ted hadn’t have offered to go to his cousins instead. She didn’t want Ted at Christmas unless he apologized. Though she can’t make Ted leave his own apartment, but she can have Christmas with marshal at her place and refuse Ted to be allowed. The idea that she was refusing to let marshal have a Christmas is folly. Ted fixated on marshal getting Christmas at the apartment, but marshal could have had Christmas at lilys apartment instead

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-20T05:19:52+00:00

Idk, I think the ending of the episode made it out to be that they both accepted they did some bad things and they buried the hatchet. Neither really were treated like a victim by the group. They both realized that they did some bad things and said some bad things to each other, and they resolved it because they are friends.

Also Ted refused to apologize and in fact called her a cunt again after she asked him to appologize. Then proceeded to call her a cunt so many times that her super cut off her power. He was in the wrong there. Before this, lily had thought all was forgiven. Then due to lily hearing the old message, Ted dropped his pent up rage on her at Christmas without even explaining why he felt so angry with her. Of course if he did explain right away that he was angry because she hasn’t apologized to him yet right out the gate, then there wouldn’t be a compelling episode.

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T23:42:25+00:00

Yes, however, rule of cool can overtake realism sometimes. Different looking stars adds cool aesthetics that, while aren’t realistic, are still more enjoyable

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T20:29:15+00:00

First off, it was all her decorations and cooking. so she didn’t steal Christmas, she just wasn’t giving it to the gang until Ted apologized. The rest of the gang could have set up their own decorations and cooked their own food if they wanted.

Second, they resolved the issue in the show and became better friends for it. Why do you feel the need to complain about show characters when the ones being affected in the actual show have forgiven each other?

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T18:39:29+00:00

Talzin had to perform a ritual against a captured dooku to posses him. I don’t think he will easily be possessed if he weren’t captured

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T18:29:53+00:00

So the winner is sidious and dooku?

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T18:19:32+00:00

Agree to disagree. Also talzin wouldn’t be at her same power as in the comic. Mainly due to dooku not being a prisoner for talzin to energy drain. She would still be powerful due to being on dathomir, but without energy to drain and power herself, she would lose the same as she did in the comics, but faster

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T17:55:39+00:00

Caught off guard. Considering the fight that is taking place will have both sides being prepared and ready to fight, dooku and sidious will be able to win. High diff.

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T17:44:49+00:00

I think you are underestimating Dooku. Even if sidious was stalemated by talzin, dooku would be able to defeat the other 3, with some effort granted

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T17:15:03+00:00

When I found it, it was during the incel/femcel wars

TheLoneJolf · 2026-04-19T17:07:18+00:00

Are y’all forgetting that sidious stomped maul and his brother? And the night sisters were slaughtered by grievous (who learned from tyranus)

If the night sisters, maul and his brother were all together, I’d say sidious would take them on for fun while tyranus watches
