I'm just surprised that the famous actor who played Colonel Christopher Blair is so openly political. That's not a good career move.

I don’t think Mark Fucking Hamill needs to worry about building a resume at this point.

It's also a joke about Hamill's career. After Star Wars, or in between Star Wars, there were no successes. Christopher Blair was the PC in a video game franchise in the 90ies. He recorded endless mission briefings. I love him for it, but it doesn't get any more has-been, you know? Maybe it kept him humble.

Mark Hamill is a national treasure.

I love how the "convincing the problem is magically solved" step is not between the reversing the stupid decision and making one, as one might put it logically. Yet, it explains Trump's Republican regime perfectly.

Should be "convincing base there is a real problem to begin with"

Excuse Me! That's clearly Lieutenant Commander Steve Colton you're talking about.

I'll have you know that is Jim the Vampire!

That might be the nadir of his career.

Maniac: [Maniac has just been shunned by a woman in the bar] I guess women out here on the edge of nowhere can't appreciate a civilised man.

Blair: Sure they do. When they meet one.

Maniac: Good to see you too, Colonel, or should I say Farmer Blair? Glad you could fit me into your busy schedule.

Blair: It's a peaceful life.

Maniac: I've always said you're either an earthworm or an eagle.

Wait... Wing commander did it first? It's originally a Mark Hamill meme?

there's an alternate route where he washes hands and blames others instead.
