When the Ninja travel back in time during the mega-weapon debacle, Zane is the one who suggests that they kidnap Nya themselves to preserve the timeline. In Skybound, Zane states that his programming prevents him from violating the law. This suggests one of three things:

1: Zane’s programming did not initially preclude criminal activity but at some point after Ourobouros (his post-rebooted rebuild, for example) it was updated with this caveat

2: Zane’s programming not only precludes him from violating the mortal laws of Ninjago but also those of time itself and is able to prioritise abiding by the laws of time over the laws of Ninjago specifically

3: Kidnapping is legal in Ninjago

TOS Episodes: "Who hath cometh for thine own lamentations?" and it's about an interdimensional slime that eats sadness

TNG Episodes: "The Defense" And it's about a defense

DS9 Episodes: "Hold the Line" and it has a A-plot of dramatic war and philosphy, with a B-plot of Quark scamming a single mother out of her life saving, before being forced to give some of it back

VOY Episodes: "Combat" and the whole episode is a master-and-commander style space battle.

ENT Episodes: "The Ship" and it's about the ship docking with another ship.

DIS Episodes: "Cometh thou for thine'sths own might so that hath we art to belongeth" and it's part 7 of 24 of chasing the alien that eats planets because it's sad.

LD Episodes: "The Good, the Bad, and the Boimler" And it's where Boimler and Mariner trade personalities for a week.

SNW Episodes: "E Pluribus Union" And it's a a complex metaphor for the current socio-economic situation of the United States, immediatly followed by an episode where they are all transported into an alternate universe where they can only communicate through Canterbury Tales quotes.

PRO Episodes: "There and Back Again" And it's about a group of unqualified 13 year olds making the worst string of decisions possible and somehow stopping what would otherwise be a galactic crisis on a scale never before seen

It’s been over a year since I read The Farthest Shore, and I’m still struck by the image of Orm Embar, the second most ancient being in the world and unable to escape its dooms, laying down its life for the efforts of two humans. This ancient force of nature sacrificing itself for the sake of mortals moved me somehow, and I’m still not certain why. There’s something of that in The Farthest Shore generally, that Tolkien-like Melancholy of the Imagined where wonder’s tinged with sadness

Invisibility is such a shitty superpower. Sure, nobody can see you spying on them, but you can still be heard, smelled and touched. You still occupy physical space. Say you are invisibly in a chair and someone uses it. They will notice they’re on someone and not the chair. Say you are surveilling but then you cough, your marks know they’re being watched and you lose out on intelligence. What if a dog picks up your scent and follows it? Even if the dog can’t bite you, people will notice the dog chasing you and best case you become a ghost story. Overrated power unless it comes with inaudability, intangibility and inolfactability

“None of this would be here without Luthen” is not Tony Gilroy making his oc into the sole cause of the rebellion, it is Cassian Andor expressing loyalty to the man who recruited him into the rebellion, and whose contributions are downplayed by the rebel leaders he assisted. Cassian exaggerates to counteract the council’s dismissal of a man who should really be among them. A character’s perspective is not equivalent to that of the creator.
