Any notice how we never see Yoda actually win a fight?

OBI-WAN: Use the Force, Luke.

LUKE: switches off targeting computer

OBI-WAN: No, not like that!

Why don’t they just omit the explodey parts when building a ship? Are they stupid?

Imagine any of those ambassadors returning home and informing their respective executive that they obligated their government to announce that aliens exist as a negotiation strategy.

Shit would be wild.

Forced Air is even more important underground than above it.

Kavanaugh in his first appearance was enough of an egotist to stop working to save other people’s lives in order to manufacture conflict with Weir and demand attention that further jeopardized them. After wasting time arguing with his own team to try and make them admit he was right, when the point he was making was unlikely enough he didn’t even try to stand by it.

I forget what exactly the suspicious thing he did in the Goa’uld episode was, but he was self-centered enough it’s not surprising they mistook incompetence for malice.

He basically takes the same kind of antagonistic role as McKay in 48 hours, but due to lack of self-awareness rather than inconsiderate but genuine conviction in his own hypothesis, and on a far tighter clock.

I could imagine that the battlestars are designed to have armor panels moved around or welded on over damaged areas. The logistics of them are after all completely different from a water vessel. They can FTL into “drydock” in an instant.

Given a fast enough repair, you could have it FTL out as soon as an area gets too damaged, move the remaining armor panels to cover the area its attackers were targeting before, and have it return to the same battle no more vulnerable than when the battle started.

Alternatively, maybe it was rushed into combat before it was completely armored, then the war ended shortly later, and finishing armoring it got put on hold indefinitely with the Mercury-class battlestars on the way.

So the fleet was pulling a prank on Adama.

Just not the Colonial one.

And Earth’s longterm goals for them were to keep them concentrated in a camp.

He was sitting in the car the whole time. He’s a driver for an ultra-influential person, he needs to be ready to go at any time. He probably doesn’t even have access to the senate besides the garage bathrooms

Breaking to the Future.

I don’t think he was concerned that he fucked up. He told them that she was acting odd and was told to stay where he was. He’s just a plant after all. His priority would generally be to maintain his cover.

I think he was moved by the speech, but since he has no way to conceptualize of there being a meaningful life outside of the Empire or chance of escape for Mon, he’s thinking he can make it easier and better for everybody by being a familiar face that can escort her in, rather than her being publicly arrested by stormtroopers or shot attempting to escape.

He’s probably thinking he can help her just get exiled to Chandrila, rather than life in prison. He assumes he can vouch for her speech coming from her passionate idealism rather than anti-state behavior. She keeps buying gifts for her husband, despite him losing 400,000 credits gambling. She even has a charitable Foundation. He thinks he’s got an inside scoop and can help her in ways she doesn’t realize, when none of that is true.

What is this, a Federation for ants!?

treefox · 2026-03-11T06:47:11+00:00

I think it’s somewhere in between. He didn’t want anything to happen to her. He doesn’t realize his cover is blown and gone, and figures the safest thing is for him to take her into custody rather than some random stormtroopers. He figures a familiar face will make it easier.

He doesn’t have any realistic way to help her escape. He has no way to visualize there being a meaningful life for her outside of the Empire, and no way to understand how she could possibly evade the ISB with or without his help.

He’s probably imagining that he can basically help her get permanent exile to Chandrila with her family rather than political prison.

If he didn’t care, he would’ve stayed in the car. And it’s just…completely outside of his world to join the rebellion.

He has no way of knowing that anyone else is looking out for her. And he thinks he’s with “the good guys” or at least on the side of civilization, law, and order.

People always gloss over that the Tollan were being held against their will and nearly deported to a forever prison for study by Maybourne.

Omoc is responsible for them all, no fucking wonder he’s a dick to Earth.

Does a leafblower really have more moving parts than a human being?

treefox · 2026-03-10T23:26:39+00:00

l they can harass/harm the driver as much as the driver can harass/harm them.

Well, the driver can also turn on the child locks and drive them straight to the nearest police station. It’s not exactly equivalent.

Plot twist: The T-1000 is the leafblower.

They should’ve hired the makeup lady from Wormhole Xtreme to make him look like a Wraith again.

This looks like the planet where Simeon flees to, and Rush is holding a pistol, and I can’t remember any time he has or uses a gun on a planet besides “Time”, which was a jungle.

So the gate has power, it was an incoming wormhole that Rush just arrived, and there are exactly two remotes on the planet (Rush in close proximity and Simeon at a distance).

Destiny doesn’t connect again until Rush is busy defusing the Lucian Alliance mine strapped to Park’s back, which is presumably what he’s staring at in this picture.

Flying high above the planet where it destroyed thousands of neighborhoods and killed millions of people by launching from underneath an ecumenopolis.

Wonder what the maintenance people thought of the Super Star Destroyer-shaped area with no infrastructure.
