was diagnoses with RV (common cold virus) like 3 days ago.
Went in cause I was around people who had the flu regardless of getting my shot - to make sure that I didn't get the flu while being around them. Dealing with that nowHaving RV reduces your chances of getting the flu by some insane amount. Just heard a news article about it the other day.
Oh no kidding?
Yeah it was a news blip on the TV. I think it was in the range of like a 70% chance reduction. Which is insane.

Well that's legit.
RV is a lot better to deal with the Flu A or B in my opinion.
Just hate being sick at any given time with anything. -

Doesn't being part of such an epic.. um... epic make it more likely to get hammered if it isn't exactly what fans wanted?

There is a narrative out there that criticizes those who dislike TLJ as those who wanted to get something specific. Most of the people that I talk to just wanted a good Star Wars story. It wasn't about not having fan service, or nods, or callbacks. It was because we wanted a coherent story set in our favorite universe. No one is upset because of the subversion that Rian Johnson did. Except for the fact that it appears that that was primary motivation for making the movie instead of telling a good space magic movie.

And the people dissing TROS are the professional reviewers, not the much maligned fans of Star Wars.

True, good point. If the reviewers are massively disappointed, the fans are likely to be pretty pissed.

The last two were 1 part lip service to fans and three parts “gimme yo money”.

Safe to say we are witnessing history being made right in front of us.
