Who Do You Think You Are?: Zooey Deschanel (2013)
The Christiana Riot
Very interesting episode, my relatives ancestors the Townsend and Wood family were also abolitionist Quakers. Involved in the Underground Railroad and the Women's Suffrage movement. Jacob R. Townsend was charged with treason for his part in the Christiana Riot, he had given a loaded rifle to a freedman named John Roberts who was headed to the William Parker house. Jacob Townsend married Evanna Pownall.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Most beautiful worst written movie I have ever seen.
The entire movie is essentially centered around the first order chasing the resistance which they cannot catch because they are travelling too fast. Princess Leia gets blasted out into space and takes a nap for a couple minutes. She wakes up (which she wouldn't do after having been out there that long) and slowly floats about 30 feet back to the ship.
So here's the question; How fast were these ships moving? Since while she was taking her nap they barely moved.
Thats just one of the many extremely obvious plot holes. A huge unnecessary sub plot takes place because Holdo withholds vital information from basically everyone. Sending Finn and some throw away character on a ridiculous sub plot to nowhere. They meet up with a guy that helps them get into Joke's... oops I mean Snoke's ship and then the guy turns them in and apparently relays Holdo's plan to Hux who quickly makes use of the information targeting the transports.
Second question; How did the code breaker guy know the plan since Finn, etc didn't know it... only Holdo knew it at this point, oh maybe Leia did but she was napping in a white bag.
The movie is a huge disappointment, not do to taking risks or not meeting fan expectations, its a disappointment for being so poorly written. It has almost zero continuity with the old trilogies and essentially none with the Force Awakens.
Its just bad and didn't have to be.
