I don't think Palpatine really needed Anakin. If anything his plans might have gone even more smoothly with Qui-Gon sleeping through everything.

He needed him exactly once to save him from Mace Windu. But now that I think about it, Mace Windu was there because Anakin ratted Palpatine out.

Darth Vader's kind of a fuckup. Gets owned by Obi-Wan, gets owned by his poo poo-farming son, kills his boss in a fit of rage.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.

With anyone else I’d say yeah, he’s obviously just going through old scripts and plagiarizing himself. But with sorkin I’m pretty sure his coke-brain no longer creates conscious memories and every time one of these “brilliant” lines bubbles up from his subconscious he’s convinced it’s for the first time

I loved this bit, but he pretty much expresses love for DS9 in a variety of statements and even clips supporting it in other episodes. Maybe Mike needs time to warm up to things like the old man he is.

I always found it interesting that DS9 is where Rich saw the writing on the wall for startrek continuity.

Paraphrasing from memory what they've said about DS9 is that what made it work was that it was good and actually did the subversion and deconstruction of a lot of Star Trek tropes well and in a smart way, but the problem was that this set the stage for a bunch of future Star Trek shows and movies to take the wrong lessons from this that dark and gritty and morally ambiguous automatically makes for good Star Trek. When the actual lesson you should take from DS9 is that you can do this with Star Trek and it can be really good, but you have to be careful and do it in a smart and considerate manner, because you run the risk of it just being "wrong" if you don't.

So far I have watched about 30% of TNG episodes and 50% of VOY (mostly the 2nd half). I like Voyager episodes well enough. I give a score on each episode after I watched it to keep track on what I have watched. So far the average VOY score is pretty close to TNG average score. My main complain with Voyager is that it doesn't have a good conclusion season. They could have pay more homage to Odyssey since the concepts are so similar.

I haven't watched Discovery, are you sure its worse than Picard?

The OG crew movies are great, everyone should watch them.

And QuiGon was his Knight

Yoda trained the kids, so he trained ObiWan as a kid. Then there's an apprenticeship program where you serve under a Knight before becoming one yourself.

I actually love in AotC when Yoda is trollng the poo poo out of Obi Wan in front of the kids. "Oh, hey kids, it looks like Obi Wan here lost a planet. Everybody laugh at him"
