Hello there, Patrons! I'm hoping that you all are having a great week, and that if you missed the live recording that Owen and I did on Sunday, you will enjoy listening to it on today, this humpday that we all must hump our way through.

This episode, Owen and I talk less about the plot points following when we left off last time, and more about the variety of issues that have come up since then, especially the claim that Rey is a Mary Sue. HINT: no she's not, and if you've been saying that, go sit in the corner and think about what you've done. 


Just a warning: as Owen and I continue into the second hour of the show, our drunkeness becomes more and more apparent, occasionally leading to some slurring, mis-speaking, or otherwise making sounds that are not words. I would apologize, but that would imply that I'm actually sorry, so I won't. 


I hope you enjoy the show!

Because I'm very touchy about the Rey is a Mary Sue argument, I'm going to disagree with Owen on some points. Kylo got hit by a Bowcaster, which throughout the movie is shown to do an extensive amount of damage to anyone else it hits, and then he chased them out in the woods and fights Finn first, while losing blood. I think it 100% makes sense that she, who is obviously trained with some sort of melee fighting, is able to hold her own against him in this instance. I don't think she kicked his ass either...Also, she misses the first Stormtrooper a few times, then hits him. She isn't sniping stormtroopers. She also fucked up some times, like when she let the beasts out in the dumb frigate scene because she messes up the understanding of the wiring. And since RPGs are the way I think about things, Max Gladstone wrote an awesome post on how he'd build her, reasonably, as an RPG character.
