Of all the complaints about Firefly, there's a certain caucasity in what's not mentioned. Where are the Asians? All that Chinese swearing was in there because China was a major power when space was settled. Yet nary an actual Chinese person. I like Firefly as much as the next guy, but like...

Bottle episodes, clip shows. TNG had a few of them, and they're noted in the various episode guides. They happened because being forced to film 24 episodes meant stretching budgets. So they'd make a filler episode on the cheap so they'd have more money for other episodes. Stargate SG-1 was...

that was fun. I've heard the yogscast version a few times...

people tend to shorten things up, so I'd expect not prefixing "astro" to be the norm. Again, go look at all those space shows. the crew is crew, and that's about it.

that's probably spot on. Even all the space movies and shows and fiction kinda move past "spacemen" or "astronaut" in the more modern settings like firefly, the expanse, star wars, star trek, etc. when space travel is normalized enough that people regularly book passage on a ship to get...

good example. Obviously, I was playing with the definition as put forth earlier. I imagine Elon would be issuing more orders or something than Ismay did as owner of the ship. Perhaps its a grey area, but I was also thinking of the catapult mishap guy. Some not-richer-than-god guy could...

So Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos will never be astronauts, because they literally paid to engineer their own rockets and craft and as such aren't employees?

Great show. got to talk to the Michael Emmerson at Comicpalooza a few years back. Good conversation.

y'know, I enjoyed not getting a cold or flu or pretty much anything last year. And my masks are awesome. So given how unwashed most of the unwashed masses are, I'm prolly gonna stick with it, because Covid isn't the only crud on the shopping cart handle.

Kaminoans don't strike me as chockful of ethics, empathy or respect for life, so...

compared to most comic book contrivances to resurrect a character, Loki's made sense. they time traveled and dropped a Tesseract in front of him. Of course he's gonna bail. :) Overall for MCU, it would be my hope that they avoid reboots, mostly keep dead people dead, and limit re-using...

related to HIPAA, I am surprised OSHA hasn't weighed in on Covid. It sure seems like they'd be required to mandate a safe working environment which includes masks for everybody and six foot gaps, etc.

Not only to punch Nazis but to explain to us WHY it is important to punch Nazis. Without that, it's just violence. With it, he reminds us why we need to stand up.

maybe add some bubble behind her in the water... keep it subtle :)

that cracks me up. We need one for "Finding Zemo"

Besides that, I want to hear what Sam has to say. Somebody upthread was griping about not wanting to be preached to. You know what? I came to hear the sermon, so let the Brother speak. Amen.

besides that, literally, the Dora showed up to help. Kind of. :)

there should be a hat for that.

You do realize upthread, there was a guy insisting the bank scene wasn't about racism because nobody said or did anything overtly racist, right? That speech was for them.

there's a few more unmasked in my local HEB. Kroger is worse for that. But yeah, every place I've been has still got the signage up. Which admittedly is a short list of places.
