Illinois Nazis. I hate Illinois Nazis.

I've heard that the original plan was for Anakin to be around 12-13 years old in Phantom Menace. But Lucas decided that his separation from his mom would be more impactful if he was younger. I think I heard that on some youtube channel breakdown of Ep. 1, so don't take that as gospel.

There's also something in that same Peteypedia article that leads me to believe we haven't seen the last of him.

One of this week's Peteypedia entries probably gives away the identity of Lube Man.

That leads me to believe that the audio issues aren't on AEW's end. There is, most likely, one audio feed going out. If it's fine on one broadcast, that means it's fine coming out from it's source (AEW). It would be bad on all of them if it was on their end. The issue is on whoever is broadcasting it's end.

I think it's fine. Nowadays, you're almost expected to follow something on multiple formats in order to really get it. The highest-grossing movie of all time assumed that you'd seen 20+ movies previously in order to "truly" follow it. The best show on tv right now (IMO), Watchmen, assumes knowledge of a 30+ year old text and has an entire website of supplemental materials that you need to read to "truly" follow it. That's why I hate WWE's insistence that it's audience can't remember anything that happened more than a week ago. We live in an age where the biggest media successes are build on YEARS and YEARS of backstory. People can keep up. They love it, in fact.

As an alumnus of the University of Illinois who is married to a dirty Indiana Hoosier, I'd like to point out that our Assembly Hall was built first and thus, it is the real Assembly Hall.

I have a love/hate with this thread. On the one hand, it’s fun to think about things like this. On the other hand, I’m sad now because I’ll never see a Valentine/Eaton team.

Also, Ricky and Robert get on the gas at some point.

So, is it now safe to say that it's NOT Dr. Manhattan who imprisoned Veidt?

My wife tolerates my wrestling fandom. But there are two things that she absolutely cannot stand in wrestling: 1. Wrestlers with dripping wet hair. AJ Styles is her favorite current wrestler solely because he comes to the ring with dry hair. 2. Wrestlers who wear trunks with a t-shirt or jacket. She calls it “disturbing”.

I agree with you on everything except I do think mma guys should beat up Graves. That would be awesome.

I thought the episode was amazing. I need to rewatch, because it wasn't until I was about halfway through that I realized that a lot of the "memory" scenes were one-shots. There was some seriously great shooting/editing going on this episode. On @J.T.'s thoughts:

I’m by no means a fan of Mauro. That shows you what a douchebag Graves is. I read his tweet, and I totally agree with what he’s saying, but I still think, “Man, fuck this guy.”
