You only do that because you're subconsciously copying media where writers have written unrealistic dialogue. If the media machine controls your actions in ways that you don't notice, do you really have freewill? Did you really have a choice? Find out on the next season of Westworld.

All the characters get Flanderized pretty bad later in the show but for an 80s/90s sitcom it was pretty great.

God studio audiences were just the worst though. Why was that poo poo ever started in the first place?

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
I'm trying to remember if "Fox studio audience" was a thing before Married with children.

I mean, I'm sure they had them, but the specific booing, cheering, wrestle fan aesthetic they brought to the show.

I thought the live studio audience thing came first, and the laugh track was just a cheap alternative they came up with later. But to answer your question, as an alternative to nothing. It seems to work fine now.

This has been making the rounds on social among the "actually the prequels were good" millennials and it's such gobblygook nonsense with a nice lil' bit of conservative "the loss of the nuclear family is destroying the morals of our children" thrown in for good measure. Never mind that ol' Ginny could've just come back as a ghost to raise Anakin whenever he wanted to but I guess they forgot about that until the sequels. Oops, how embarassing! Big shout out to "Star Wars: it's about family" at the end, too lol

It's like Disney is daring Mike to bring Plinkett back

Duel of the Fates is important but not for any of the reasons spilling out of his noise hole. In TPM the Jedi council told Qui-Gon that he couldn't have Anakin as a student because he was too old to begin training. Then Qui-Gon gets himself murdered in an underground cave by Darth Maul for no good plot reason apart from they were both standng in a room together and afterwards the Jedi council completely reverses itself and tells Obi-Wan that he can have Anakin as a student.

As a direct result of that inexplicable reversal all of the Jedi are murdered and the galaxy is ruled by an evil wizard for the next 20 years. If Qui-Gon had lived then there would be no Darth Vader and a whole lot of people would be happier.

Noone cares about Qui-Gon. He's a stoic character that has no emotional reaction to anything. Story-wise he should have been murdered right at the beginning of TPM and all of his actions afterwards should have been given to Obi-Wan. Then at least a) Obi-Wan would have something to do in the story and b) any motive inconsistencies could be attributed to Obi-Wan being over his head and making rash decisions because his training was incomplete.

Qui-Gon is a cold lifeless lump that sucks the tension out of any scene that he's in.

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

To be fair, you could replace Qui-Gon with any prequels character and this would be just as true.
