@Zepp1978 Star Wars has actually had positive moments the past decade. What has Doctor Who done that isn’t a disaster?

Doesn’t get the headlines Star Wars does but Doctor Who has been handled just as badly the past decade. Perhaps even worse.

@QueenAnticommie @grok Is he alive? Then his life sentence is not complete.

What ends up happening with him @grok ?

@david_kinghorn @RichHotel88 @CenTexLib Easy solution: Move school an hour later for a month. Problem solved.

This is the wrong way to do it. If you don’t like time changes, then what you want is Permanent Standard Time, *not* Permanent DST. Permanent DST was already tried in the 70s, and it failed so hard we changed it back — kids were going to school in the pitch black during winter!

@DucksNPucks @ThePuckNetwork @DucksBRA @ducks_cz @Ducksnogelo @Rgonzo444 @G_Cas3 @anaheimducksGER @DucksFam93 @Anaheim_DucksFr @ducks_uk Is that a Ducks jersey or a Leprechaun costume?

A mock up by Drew Martin on IG. Not confirmed as the official Hometown Remix jersey/uniform, but what are your thoughts? #FlyTogether

@BluesProspects1 As a Ducks fan, I could maybe go for that, but I’d want to switch out Mintyukov for Zellweger or Luneau. Otherwise, I’d go for it.

Rank the four packages in order you would want for Robert Thomas if he were to get traded #stlblues Utah: Desynoyers, But, Lamoureux, 19th Buffalo: Helenius, Mrtka, Quinn, 27th Anaheim: Mctavish, McQueen, Mintyukov, 2027 first Montreal: Hage, Reignbacher, Kapanen, 29th

@Banx_Leaf 4th? 😂 Toronto fans are the most delusional ever.

I think what we’ve learned is Marner is the ultimate supporting piece. He looks great as the 4th most important Vegas forward and did he best work for Canada when moved to the 3rd line. We miscast him as Patty Kane when all along he was Hossa

@tavkniesnythews @OilerAnalytics Fans and media suck the life out of everyone affiliated with the team. It's a black hole. Players would be smart to avoid. No one can win there.

@OilerAnalytics If you’re a pussy, then yes. Keep Toronto off your list.

Mitch Marner immediately thriving outside Toronto is exactly why no UFA should ever sign with the Leafs, and why every player should have Toronto on their no trade list.

@TLJwasGood @CookinWCalories @noachlive Ahsoka series is entirely mid. It's watchable, but that's about the best I can say for it. Mandalorian at its peak is great, but that's not really Dave. Andor is elite. Not all SW has to be like Andor, but it does have to still be well done. Dave is a hack writer.

@CookinWCalories @noachlive Ember is reading every single comment about them and blocking anyone that doesn't fully agree. It's pretty wild to watch someone have a mental breakdown over the Ahsoka series being worse than Andor. They need serious help.

@pestymage @jj_shabadoo @bestofstarwar Brendan Wayne is the one who is usually in the costume when anything involving the blaster is done. He was also the stand-in most of the time when Mando wasn’t fighting if Pedro wasn’t on set. Lateef Crowder did most of the hand to hand fighting and other stunt work.

@jj_shabadoo @bestofstarwar Seems like a shameful job to have, being the guy who doesn't speak and doesn't do action sequences and just does the parts where the Mandolorian is standing still or slowly walking.

It is highly irregular for stunt performers to share top billing with the lead actor/actress. How often do you think Pedro was actually on screen during the film?

@MooseBeSocial @HockeyWays @DailyFaceoff Kings won't be a serious threat to win until sometime in the 2030's. Zero chance Matthews would waive for them. It's a sinking ship.

@OC_Sports714 @HockeyWays @DailyFaceoff LA Star Power

If Leafs actually entertain trading Matthews, which landing spots make sense?

@MooseBeSocial @HockeyWays @DailyFaceoff A team with virtually no tradeable assets who can barely make the playoffs? I thought the point was to move to a better situation, not a worse one.

@HockeyWays @DailyFaceoff LA makes the most Sense

@DevilsA62669071 @DailyFaceoff LA is not in a contending window.

@DailyFaceoff You’re talking about teams Matthews would approve in Western Conference, cap space, in a contending window now (or upon Matthews being added) for at least the next 5 yrs., with lineup players, picks and prospects to give up; San Jose, Utah and LAK seem to meet this criteria.

@Kgill39 Why should they? No rules were broken.

As usual, the NHL did not care

@rollingdux I’ll be shocked if Vatrano is even on the team in October. He’s clearly on Q’s DTM list.

Think we see him miss October and part of November. Even more reason Ducks should look into adding some more depth on the wing. Or hope there’s a Vatrano resurgence.

@SandyofCthulhu The books were written for people with a modicum of intelligence. The movies were designed to be received by the lowest common denominator. Maybe the book was just above your grade level.

I'm sure this will be controversial, but I believe that Lord of the Rings the book is inferior to Peter Jackson's movies. Tolkien has a tendency to make interesting things dull, and to leave the most interesting events off-screen, such as the Paths of the Dead. He includes scenes which stop the narrative dead in its tracks. To me, Tom Bombadil, Ghan-buri-Ghan, and the lengthy "let's all praise Galadriel" sections add nothing to the plot. His songs and poems are cringy as heck. I suppose if you were raised in Edwardian Britain poetry was seen as more manly. Tolkien also threw in some dumb deux ex machinas, such as when every single orc in Cirith Ungol kills every other orc. Or when Aragorn, all by himself, defeats 5 ringwraith at once. Petr Jackson gives us back the Paths of the Dead, and he adds humor and joy to the tale. His additions (Lurtz, the warg-riders) were solid. I admit he could have done nothing without Tolkien's great foundation. You are welcome to condemn me for my terrible taste. But I DID read Tolkien, and enjoyed it. I am fully aware that Tolkien has some extremely powerful episodes, such as Mines of Moria, the Dead Marsh, Shelob, and Denethor's fall. I can like Tolkien, yet not place him on some kind of super-high platform above James Branch Cavell, Charles Williams, C. S. Lewis, Lord Dunsany, and George MacDonald, who were more or less Tolkien's peers as early 20th century fantasy authors. Bring it. I invite you to prove me wrong. I'll even admit it if I feel your proofs are worthy enough. But you'll need more than a simple "Nuh-uh" or "Well Lovecraft sucked too."

@DanD62178591113 @EmptyNettersPod Vegas got outplayed aside from Hart. If he falters or Colorado tightens it up, it’s over.

@EmptyNettersPod They turned it on at the right time. They were average and ass cheeks most the regular season. Its all about the timing. Still think Avs win in 7, VGK took advantage of Makar being out.

Uhhh ohhhh some people are maybeeee learning that Vegas is better than they thought

@MongoXDK @EmptyNettersPod Vegas does this. They play over the line assuming the refs will call it even, and they rely on their special teams to win. It’s a good strategy but only works because the refs don’t call most of their shit.

@EmptyNettersPod As an Avs fan I thought Vegas was gonna be rough but I didn’t think we would be fighting the refs too. No tripping call.. no embellishment.. idk trying not to be a homer but it has felt one sided by the refs for the most part.

@dstaples One can simultaneously believe EM was not raped and it was consensual while also believing the being involved in that kind of garbage make you a creepy dirtbag.

Lots to hate about the Vegas franchise. But giving a second chance to Carter Hart isn't one of them. The judge in the case didn't just find no guilt, she exonerated the accused. finding as a matter of fact there was no sexual assault, that the sex was consensual. If you're curious to know the facts of the Hart and his Hockey Canada teammates case, here is summary of the 11 key findings of fact in judge Maria Carroccia's ruling: 1. That Carroccia found the complainant, E.M., to be both unreliable and not credible in her testimony about the events of the night in question, June. 18, 2018 in London, Ontario. More than that, Carroccia found that E.M. had given her consent to the sex acts with the men that night. The Hockey Canada Five were always presumed innocent until found guilty under our system, but Carroccia’s finding does more than find them not guilty. It essentially exonerates them, though we will all likely agree that they acted in poor and immature fashion that night and needed to do more to treat E.M. with care. 2. The judge also found that the notion “believe all women” is a political slogan, but goes against fundamental Canadian values that work to ensure that no innocent person is found guilty without a fair trial. 3. That key video evidence from Jack’s Bar where E.M. met Michael McLeod and other Hockey Canada players that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. said about the players initiating overt sexual contact on the dance flooor, and that E.M., in fact, put her hand on McLeod’s crotch area on the dance floor. 4. That key video evidence from the bar that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. claimed about getting plied with drinks from the players. In fact, E.M. bought almost all of her own drinks. 5. That key video evidence contradicts what E.M. claimed about the players trying to separate her from her friends. 6. That key video evidence and E.M’s own testimony contradicts her claim that she was completely out of it that night due to alcohol consumption. 7. That E.M. had reasons to fabricate a false narrative based on numerous factors, including making things right with her own boyfriend. 8. There was repeated and consistent testimony, including from Crown witnesses Tyler Steenbergen and Brett Howden, that E.M. pushed for the players to engage with sex acts with her, and in the end Carroccia accepted this evidence as fact. 9. That there was numerous evidence of E.M.’s testimony been unreliable. 10. That E.M. had several opportunities to get dressed and to leave if she was fearful, but she left the bathroom where her clothes were and walked naked into the room full of players to continue on with their evening. This dynamic started after she had admittedly had consensual sex with McLeod. 11. That the players group chat the following day was not an effort to fabricate a story, but a group decision to simply tell the truth about what had happened with E.M.

@rollingdux It’s just engagement bait garbage. Teams like San Jose and Anaheim haven’t had great attendance in recent years because they’ve been rebuilding. There is zero chance either relocates.

Ducks are one of the most stable franchises. 2nd richest owner in the league, 4 billion of their own money into OC Vibe and arena upgrades. And now have a young competitive team on the rise.
