But then all of a sudden the movie just pulls a full 180 out of nowhere and actually Kylo just wants to be emperor, The Jedi are actually good, the entire 90 minutes leading up to this meant nothing, a huge bland return to the status quo.

Yeah, TLJ's biggest weakness is its lack of commitment to its own themes. It's really poorly done and that's why I side-eye anyone who says it works on a deeper level. Rian clearly attempted themes, but did it really poorly.

I never had a problem with treating Snoke as the boring emperor ripoff he was. Killing him off for Kylo was the right move.

But the very nature of his existence is something that needs to be accounted for, if your goal is to build a coherent universe. The Emperor doesn't need this treatment; if you establish there's an empire, there has to be someone at the head. That's just a natural consequence of the world you've built.

But once you start adding history to an established setting, you need to explain what's going on. Who is the person who rose to power over the imperial remnant, and how did he do it? That's an interesting question, even if you don't want it to draw focus. If you make him super old, make him strong in the force, and give him a bunch of lines about witnessing the rise and fall of the empire, it really does provoke the question of why he didn't insert himself into the galactic situation before, and why he's chosen to now.

I can easily understand why paying no attention to these questions could rub people the wrong way.

So whose fault it is they had nothing to adapt?

How does this translate in your mind into not blaming them for what they wrote?

If you're a writer for a show, your job is to write good material. Stuff that you get to adapt is easy mode. If you run out of material to adapt and then can't write, that's on you.

I like the simplicity of 5e for the most part, but every so often something gets too oversimplified and I get annoyed it's not 3.5 even though it feels like an improvement the rest of the time.

Especially the overabundance of advantage/disadvantage; I was once attacking someone who was blind and prone. So... rolling with advantage. And as a barbarian, I had reckless attacks. If I'd used it, it would have given me nothing but it would have meant my blind, prone opponent got to roll normally against me. Of course, their attack bonus was high enough that even with disadvantage they were overwhelmingly likely to hit. Just feels limiting.

Also skills like perform being lumped together feels odd. I can't have a good singer without also having a good dancer, etc.

But my biggest complaint is the death system. It's way too easy to stave off death with enemies playing wack-a-mole. Single player deaths rarely happen in group fights, it's either a win or a TPK. Something feels off and overly forgiving.

I'm guessing his nomination plowed through since he was Palmer's brother and Palmer's assassination was uncovered in the final episode of S5. That's definitely a sock in the mouth to whatever party Logan was part of. (I've noticed they don't call themselves GOP or Dems, so I'm guessing that's by choice.)

EDIT: And they got back that cool techie (from S1) and Chloe's sarcastic ex!!! Yeah!!!

It's not outright confirmed, but since David Palmer was a Democrat and was going against Keeler for reelection, and Logan was Keeler's VP, it can be assumed that Logan was Republican.

Wayne is probably a Democrat as well, if he rode David's legacy to the office.

Abrams was where the problems started. Rian could have fixed things, but he just made it worse.
