That used to be really common. Movie novelizations would come out before the movie, along with soundtracks, etc. It was part of the promotional campaign.

My thoughts exactly.

Horrible way to display this.

In states with no income taxes and mostly regressive taxes like sales taxes and other consumption tax, the rich with large income (who always disproportionately account for all income in any state) pay a very low share of their income in taxes. Some people will be paying 10% of their income in taxes because their entire income is spent every month and taxed as consumption (sales taxes). While others pay only 2% of their income in taxes because a good portion of their income goes into savings and tax-free retirement accounts and not on consumption.

Meanwhile states with a progressive income tax ensure that (closer to) everyone pays a more fair share of their income. So the rich end up paying more of their income. While lower income families pay a lower sales tax rate (and/or are able to see the benefits of better social programs funded by the taxes on the wealthy)

“Ewoks Caravan of Courage”? “Star Wars Holiday Special”?

You can say it’s all fun. You can even say you like it all.

I even like the sequel trilogy over the prequels (because I’m of a certain age).

But not sure about “all” Star Wars being “great”.

I think that’s the basic premise of the Star Trek hypospray. Pressure pushing in medicine rather than a needle.

“Status Report” is great, and the rest are good enough and the episode was really fun.

Glad they did it, but I’m not looking for an annual occurrence. I can love it and also say 1 is enough. Same with the Lower Decks crossover

I avoid watching trailers because they are loaded with stuff that I consider spoilers. I skipped past your list of things in the Asokha trailer for exactly that reason.

I understand not everyone thinks that way, but I’ve had too many great moments in a movie/show ruined by poor trailer work (Phantom Menace, Thor Ragnarok, etc). If there’s a movie/series I know I want to see, why risk spoiling it by watching a trailer? I go in so much fresher and ready to be surprised if I avoid them.

So I feel like anything new in a series that is currently airing is spoiler territory.

The guidelines I’ve usually heard is also to give people at least a week to watch an episode. Not everyone can watch within hours of an episode debuting.
