QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 11:20 AM) I think the bigger issue was that Rei was so powerful without a moment's training. A little but Luke with basically no training was able to deflect shots from a remote, hit an incredibly small target with proton torpedoes without using any computer to aim and he also was able to grab his lightsaber using the force. And Rey not allowing Ren to read or control her mind is impressive but there have been non-force sensitive characters like Jabba who didn't allow mind control to work on them as well. I'm sure we will learn more of her backstory in the next movie as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 11:04 AM) I think it's hard to criticize much until we see the next 2. Some people don't like that Ren wasn't that powerful but he probably will be in ep 8 and more so in ep 9. Yep, and the complaint about Snoke not having enough backstory is also a little odd to me since the Emperor was only mentioned in passing in Episode IV, appears only as a hologram in Episode V and isn't really fleshed out until Episode VI.

Odell Beckham is playing one of the dirtiest games I've ever seen. He should be kicked out.

Ok so now I really hope the Bears lose their next 2. Just absolutely nothing positive comes out of them winning either of those games.

Awful clock management again by Fox. He is f***ing awful in that area.

Bears look awful so far. Really not a bad thing at this point though as we've seen enough to know this staff will have things headed in the right direction if they upgrade the talent level and every loss now is huge for draft position.

Bobby Portis loves to shoot.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 01:53 AM) Please limit Gasol/Rose/Butler to less than 25 mins tomorrow. Agree. Put this one on the bench to win it and if they can't oh well.

Bucks up 8 on the Warriors going into the 4th quarter tonight.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) The best part in my mind, is this set up very nicely for the next movies (and in and of itself it was badass too). Was the perfect re-entry into Star Wars and it totally felt like the original trilogy which is a true compliment. Chewy and Hans had great moments too and I was glad when Hans was killed off because I think to really make it great, they have to move on from some of the main old characters. That said, Harrison is the best actor of the old characters by far. I wasn't completely surprised they killed off one of the main 3 from the original trilogy as it is a Star Wars tradition to kill off a main character in the first movie of a trilogy (Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and now Han). I just wasn't sure if they were going to have the balls to do it but it was a great scene and it really makes you feel like any of the characters can bite the dust at any moment.

I never do this but I'm definitely going to see this one again in theaters. Such a fun movie.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 10:25 AM) 3D or not 3D? Need to make a decision pretty soon I liked my 3D showing a lot but not necessary at all.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 02:46 AM) Spoilers are allowed. Ha, I didn't even look at the new thread title. So Rey has to be Luke's daughter right? It was highly implied throughout the movie and it would setup another Skywalker v. Skywalker showdown.

I loved it. Such a fantastic stand alone movie and it does a great job setting up the rest of the trilogy. I'll save the rest of my thoughts for when spoilers are allowed but I couldn't be happier right now.

Leron Black out indefinitely now. Another guy who will likely be redshirting for Illinois.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) I get the feeling that they want to give him more time before pegging him as a platoon OF or giving up and moving him. I sure hope not. If you are making this type of move you shouldn't be going into next year with a guy who is likely going to be a massive hole in the lineup.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:38 PM) Too bad we couldn't send Avi to the Dodgers instead of Trayce Kenny must still think Avi is a 300/30/100 guy More likely the Dodgers prefer Trayce to Avi.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) The Sox farm system just went down a couple of pegs. I really liked Micah and Montas who was throwing 100 at a game I was at. Trayce is overrated but would be a great 4th OF. I feel like the Sox have to acquire an outfielder now with the moves they made. You can't trade a decent package for Frazier and then go into next year starting Cabrera and Avi in the corners who are both just absolutely dreadful defensively.

I won't read any of them for fear of spoilers but it is getting amazing reviews.

Has anyone here actually spent a lot of time building up their settlements in Fallout? I love the game and have done a ton of exploring and I think I've played a lot of the main side quests (just from taking a quick look on wiki sites) but I just can't get into building up the settlements at all.

Warriors streak about to end.

Terrible offensive half for the Bulls against the worst defensive team in the NBA.

What a ridiculous overpay. I really wonder what the Sox could get for Quintana with what teams have been giving up for guys this offseason.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Clippers are a mess like us. Their bench is f***ing awful and Mbah A Moute may be the worst starter in the NBA.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) I absolutely agree but honestly, who cares? This roster has needed a huge overhaul forever and it never happens. Until that happens we're stuck and just to be clear, I'm not ready to give up on Fred after 20 games but he's certainly been bad so far. Edit: yeesh, that post was all over the place. I'm not giving up on Hoiberg yet either. I've just been pointing out that the offensive bump we were sold that we would see hasn't been there at all and the offense looks worse than it did under Thibs.
