He has a hand on Bob's shoulder for leverage.

What was wrong with Artemis? I didn't notice any glaring faults in it.

The president I'm thinking of gets applause when he signs his name to something because people are so relieved he still remembers how.

No. That's doubleplus ungood.

You'll absolutely be judged.

Why no headphones? Seems like that would make the job more enjoyable.

if we restrict art sources to human artists

That worked five years ago. Why wouldn't it work now?

Speaking from experience? How many generation ships have you travelled on?

Exudes the same smugness as a cat.

OTOH, you've yet to encounter any conclusive evidence that you're mortal.

Downvoted? Yes. Intentionally? No.

In the Scandinavian vampire movie Let The Right One In, a vampire that enters uninvited starts leaking blood from every pore.

It does kind of feel like over-committing, doesn't it?

There's no natural justice. If we want it we have to make it.

I've given my reasons, how about you give yours?

If a creature that size existed, it wouldn't be made of ordinary flesh. Its bones would have to be something special just to hold it up, and its tendons would need to be extraordinarily tough to keep the muscles from just sliding off in a heap.

I can't leave it at that. I have to add some details.

Both the empire and the rebels repeatedly made tactical decisions so stupid a five-year old would know better. The opening battle involved sending unprotected bombers against a ship with anti-bomber defences and keeping the enemy commander talking on the phone to delay his response. That works in a Mel Brooks movie, not in Star Wars.

They killed a fan-favourite character off-screen. What, was the puppet too old to reprise its role?

The empire's main guy decided to chase the rebels down instead of destroying them immediately. For fun, I guess.

Phasma's a badass. Except that she capitulates at the first sign of personal danger.

All Holdo had to say was "yes, there's a plan. Not telling you what because of operational secrecy". Instead she expected Poe to blindly follow orders when he'd already shown he couldn't do that.

"Oh no, the sacred texts!" ...that you attempted to burn a moment ago.

The Last Jedi.

I left the theatre angry that they spent enough money to take mankind back to the moon on something that stupid.

What's your favourite soup recipe?
