30.11.2025 12:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I agree. I say either use real dates, or stop trying to make the stardates consistent and just tell writers to randomly assign stardates to their episodes in ways that absolutely don't make sense and cannot be made to make sense.

Return of the Jedi

Rise of Skywalker
Revenge of the Sith
Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Never saw Clone Wars, so it's not in there.
And last year, we returned with another trilogy of weirdo shorts, including the 1961 Motorama film A Touch of Magic, and the classic(?) driver's ed short, Anatomy of an Accident: youtu.be/gbTcOA1i--g

In 2023, we broke from our custom of watching only shorts to riff on the mostly forgotten 1955 one-hour TV version of Miracle on 34th Street. This one might be my personal favorite: youtu.be/m-MPd17weFo

My Epstein files skit is doing pretty well โ thanks all for watching, liking, commenting and sharing! Still a few who don't get that it's a bit, which I chalk up to a combo of me doing a good job making the video, and them doing a bad job watching it. youtu.be/Zs9isUS1D5k
