I’m going thru the series for a fourth time, in preparation to watch the movie once it comes to Disney+ and I still don’t understand something.

In Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore, Din Djarin is captured by a creature who removes the Darksaber from him. Bo Katan later comes to rescue him and defeats this same creature, using the Darksaber to do it. Yet Din Djarin still holds the Darksaber. Why didn’t Katan keep it, since she fulfilled the code of winning the Darksaber in combat?

EDIT: I recognize she is given the saber in Chap 22, but my question is why did she need reminding how the code works? Why didn’t she keep it after freeing Djarin?

A long four-year battle over five theaters being demolished finally ended with the opening of the Marriott Marquis Theatre in July 1986. One year later, massive landmarks were enacted to save other Broadway theaters from being demolished.

The very first podcast episode of Closing Night dives into the tumultuous history of the Marquis Theatre and the rubble it was built upon.

In July 1986, the Marriott Marquis opened its doors with a concert by Shirley Bassett and then its inaugural production of Me and My Girl, a highly successfulLondon musical transfer.

Just four years earlier a total of five Broadway houses had been demolished to make way for the new Marquis. And with that many in the theater community have called the building cursed. That’s because after the 3-year run of Me and My Girl, no show has even come close to such a long run, with many productions only lasting months or even weeks.

The strike zone this season in the games I’ve seen has been wild. Pitches in the river are at least close, but now umpires are calling strikes over in the other batter’s box. It’s ridiculous. These two pics are from the same pitch. And the umpire was calling these strikes all game even though they’re way outside.

I see that the baffling college tradition of “hard hit balls” misplayed by infielders being called hits continues in the pros 😑 all this does is inflate and distort batting averages and fielding percentages above what they should be.

I’ve watched mostly SEC softball this season, but since watching the postseason, it seems to be a problem across the sport. Many obvious fielding errors are ruled a hit. Ball ricochets off a glove or hits the heel of it and bounces out, yet the batter is given a hit. It’s been baffling so many times this season, that I believe it’s actual a reason both batting averages and fielding percentages are higher than they should be.

The most glaring recent example I saw was Kenleigh Cahalan in the Florida/Texas Tech Super Regional. In game one, she was having a bad time at SS (which played a role in their loss). Four different times she misplayed a ball hit to her, yet only two were ruled as errors (and even the announcers noted this). These loosey-goosey rulings have continued at WCWS as well.
