The only time you miss something is when you no longer have it.

Opinions vary.  (-:

Sort of like the red-shirted crewmen in "Star Trek".

 JA> On a related note... Have you seen Rogue One yet?

No.  I did some searching and found two different ones.  One was 3:27 hours
long (must have had a lot of extras) and the other was about 2:10 hours.  I'm
still deciding which one I would want.

 JA> Can't disagree with that, but the show will go on.

The show MUST go on.

I'll wait since I have no choice.
