But is it really?

The phrase "Worst _________ of all time" has been used so much that it's lost all meaning.
Because if everything is the worst, then when something really is, I won't believe it.
I'll just think, "There you go again.  Get back to the pasture, the sheep are waiting."

Don't tell me this is the end.

I think I'd prefer to not know that I'm watching the final episode of a show until after it's over.
Knowing beforehand puts me in a weird frame of mind.
I think too much about the episode, and the show, and don't enjoy it.
And sometimes the episode just seems off.
Like the show is trying to prove something.
Or all of a sudden trying to do something new.
Then again, maybe it's the finality of it all.
Knowing there won't be another episode.
That this is the end.
And I'll never see these characters again outside of reruns.
But it could also be that some series just haven't ended all that well.
Like they didn't know how to end.
So they went a little crazy.
Even if it wasn't the Fourth of July.

I liked the movie well enough.

I just think they messed up Tarkin.
His voice was too deep and loud.
It needs to be whispery yet strong.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

A.K.A.: Your contract is for one movie and one movie only.

(Does this mean we'll get to see the Bothans in the next one?)
(I'm not sure.  Mon Mothma didn't really seem to care about them.)
