Its just so sad to see -- especially with how shit their luck has been so far.
wrt Kimi and George -- I think this will either make of break George. I hope he makes him a better driver, but ultimately I think he's cooked for this season. It's really nice to see how much everybody likes Kimi too.
this is definitely overstating it, but it really seems like most first time champs got that because of some bad luck on the part of their closest rival
- Nico had Lewis' Malaysia
- Max had Lewis' Baku w/ the magic brake (and that other thing...)
- Lando had Oscar in Baku and Qatar.
Maybe I'm wondering if George's bad luck this race will be the one this list includes next time for Kimi.

Fun and tense race. Once again, Liberty really needs to figure out a way to get a midfield stream going. They don't even have to do commentary -- but it would make for a great PIP, if nothing else.
I love Lewis. It's so nice to see him happy and bullshitting with the boys and smiling.
I really feel for Piastri. I think he had his shot and won't ever get it again... or that's just my fear. Its concerning because McLaren has had a pretty shit season, all things considered. It has happened a few times before where a driver or constructor dominates the final year(s) of a regulation set only to absolutely shit the bed with the new regs; still tough to watch, especially with Kimi being both young and talented and with a superior whip.

It felt like I was getting a facial massage from an octopus and everything was super fuzzy like a stuffed animal.
Great little drug.

I stopped watching this final season after the camp breakout. It got too much into go here, do this, go there, do that, tension, tension, repeat.
It was really fun for the first few seasons.

Pretty much anything from Timothy Zahn is good -- if you're into audiobooks, Marc Thompson is great. Most of the books have sound effects and shit too, which is fun.

All they had to do was do Legacy of the Force to bring in the kids, have Jacen Solo /Darth Caedus, Ben Skywalker flirting with the darkside like his father... etc etc --- that series has everything and opens op for lots of movies hitting the perfect demos.
If I were doing it, I'd do Legacy... for sequel movies, Thrawn trilogy as a limited series (one season per book), somehow find a way to get Darth Bane as two seasons, a nice four part Scoundrels heist, and more. They were really on the right track with Rogue One, but failed miserably.
So much potential thrown out the window for stupid Ben Solo.
I started with the Thrawn trilogy and quickly crushed around a hundred other novels or so since. The EU (only Legends) is so good.
... you know your movies suck when Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure doesn't look so bad. :)

It would have been a good vehicle for an intro to Djarin's lifestyle, but once he delivers the child, leave it there and walk off into the sunset.
The missed potential wasn't with Grogu at all, though. That's a pure cash grab.
Mando shouold have been a MOW (mission/monster) that plays out as an excuse to tour around the Star Wars universe, giving visuals to things we've only heard or read about --- deep fan shit.

I recently updated my wardrobe and I'm getting compliments from randos on the street. Its all minor differences like nicer brogues, textured fabrics, etc.. same ol' haircut. Confidence goes a long way.

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I’d love for some breakthrough thing, but in the same, it’s all been great.
My favorite thing to do is about a gram of Alacabenzi shrooms in a tek.
