In this continuation of the quintessential space opera, we find a forlorn heroine and a lost Stormtrooper on a journey that reconnects them with not only the not-so-distant past, but with the faces and personalities that lead to the Galactic Empires ruin. But there are new enemies rising, and it'll take new heroes to keep them at bay.
The Force it seems, is not done with this particular part of the Galaxy.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
ComputerShow is a beautiful and inspiring throwback. It's the SNL WeekendUpdate of Tech & Geekdom. And in this episode, Angela's facial expressions are laugh-out-loud* hilarious.
*I Don't think LOL would have been a thing for something like a decade after the time in Computer Show's fictional universe.
According to Megan Garber, writing for The Atlantic in early October 2013 (click blog title for link), apparently, one of the fungi that feeds in old rye bread (ergot) is somewhat hallucinagenic. It makes people sick when they invest it, but absorption through the skin causes a flying-like sensation. So between the 1300s and the 1700s people used to take that mold, along with brewed up roots and other things (witches brew) and rub it on a broom handle. Then ladies would insert that between their legs (no panties back then) and get hi. This is why witches "fly" on brooms.
But sometimes people got high from unwittingly eating the mold. Or bein forced to tear it cause nothing else was around:
"The Massachusetts of 1692 likely did see an outbreak of the fungus that had contributed, in other contexts, to 'witch's brew.'
The epicenter of the outbreak? Salem."
Science!
