Holy heck.

This show is friggin' amazing. SOOOOOO good. I find myself counting down the hours until work is over on Fridays so I can watch this show!

If JJ recons Rey to be a Skywalker, I'm gonna be so pissed. I much prefer her being a nobody. Anybody can have the Force. You don't have to be a bloody Skywalker for it.

Also, rhyme for seeing Threepio without his outer shell, Episode 9 to Episode 1?

I saw a full-size billboard for this today.

That's all I got.

So, grabbed a couple new bottles recently. Sourced myself a 1.75L of Eagle Rare, which is fantastic. I also found a bottle of Whistlepig that was cheaper than $80, called Piggyback. I'm not a huge fan of rye, but it's quite good. It's a hot rye, though... punch of alcohol and some good fire. It's a nice drink.

So, can we address how Teague accurately predicted the Star Wars sequels?

I made sure not to watch Cats. I've watched Top Gun at least three times already. Thank you, Tom Cruise, for insisting so much of the jet stuff was done practically. That was 100% a practical carrier launch; someone said probably from an F/A-18B, which is a two-seat model.

EDIT: The only thing that bothers me is "... the only pilot to shoot down three enemy planes in the last 40 years..." isn't a line that an Admiral would say. That's 100% a studio exec saying "our audience won't know what we mean if we say 'the only ace in the last 40 years,' so make it more obvious."

EDIT EDIT: I'm really curious, though, to see why when he's talking to Ed Harris, Tom Cruise is wearing a high-altitude suit. It shows up once more in a cockpit, but I can't ID the jet he's in.

I dig it. Followed.
