I see Acolyte as either the worst of the best, or the best of the worst. At least it did try to tell an interesting story, and parts of it were done very well. Other parts, especially around the start and much that involves the main character Osha, was not so well done. But it doesn’t drop the ball nearly as badly as Ahsoka, never mind Kenobi or Boba Fett.
Good! The unreliability of German trains has been utterly surreal lately. We went on vacation by train from NL to Switzerland last year, and of course that connection goes through Germany. Confusion, delays, cancelled trains, 5 layovers with a ton of luggage (instead of the 1 we booked), standing in trains instead of sitting in our reserved first class seats. Even if you don’t arrive all that late, it’s still a terrible trip.
Before that, I’ve had a major event at Essen where the last connecting train to the ICE from Düsseldorf was cancelled. Tons of people stranded. I made it by paying through the nose for a taxi because I saw that their replacement bus wasn’t going to make it.
Some fixes to their crumbling system are clearly long overdue.
