We never hear about them again. Presumably, at least Jenny is still alive, if not Michael. She could have easily been pregnant. Their kid would be 39 in season 1. That kid could have joined the Air Force and ended up assigned to the SGC. It's not super likely, but growing up with parents who met aliens might push the kid in that sort of direction. Also, that would be very SG1.

I wanted their kid to be Major Davis, but google says his canon birth month is July, and the episode takes place in August. That would have been so cool, and it could explain why he's such a cool character. I feel like he probably would have mentioned it at some point after the episode took place, though.

I would have liked a follow up on them, and it would be cool if they had a kid who joined the SGC or something.

I just rewatched the episode, and it didn't say for certain. I think she's most likely young Carter, but then why didn't she recognize herself? I feel like "head wound" is not the right answer.

The whole thing wasn't a hallucination. Everyone actually got kidnapped, though I don't remember if they said why Carter didn't get kidnapped, too. The whole thing could have turned out to be a dream, but it wasn't. It was real, and she hallucinated Daniel, Teal'C, Jack, and her father who were aspects of her subconscious mind.

And they all appeared in their contemporary forms, but she didn't recognize Grace. Was the (extremely ubiquitous) song that Carter's mother used to sing supposed to be the evidence that Grace is baby Carter? Is Grace Carter's middle name? I googled it, and her middle name was never said, so it could be.

They could have been upfront about Grace being baby Carter. There was no need to not reveal it. Or they could have gone the much more tragic route and have had Grace be Carter's younger sister who (I just made up btw) died in the car accident that killed her mom.

Or was she the manifestation of the sentient nebula like *Daniel* hypothesized? Other than *Daniel* suggesting it, there was no indication that the nebula was sentient. Carter found it interesting, but that was it.

I almost want to watch the episode again just to see if *Teal'C* always tells the truth, and *Daniel* always lies, or if it's just a matter of *Teal'C* representing her warroir side, and *Daniel* representing her scientist side.

Who was Grace? (And why?)

Why wasn't Carter taken to the alien ship?

[Just to be clear, I know where the show was filmed. You can mention specific places if you want, but I know the show was filmed in Vancouver. That won't be news to me.]

Between SG1 watches, I saw a show called Motherland: Fort Salem, and one of the actors in it is from Kelowna, British Columbia. I thought it was a cool sounding name, so I guess I remembered it.

Now I'm watching the SG1 episode Meridian with Jonas and the Kelownans, and I recognize it this time. Given that the show was filmed in Vancouver, it was probably intentional. I guess they thought it was a cool name, too.

Also, Michael Shanks got to be a ghost watching people hang around his unconscious body before he did in Saving Hope.

Thought I'd share.

I haven't seen the show pretty much since it aired, so it's possible I'm missing something.

I just posted about how Kes sucks, and 99% of the comments agreed with me, but there were a few that justified it by being creeped out by their romantic relationship and the fact that Kes is 2 years old.

She's not a fucking human, though. She's an adult in her culture, and she's portrayed by an adult. And she only has a ten year lifespan. What are they supposed to do? Go extinct?

And what about Kaeko in Rascals(TNG: transporter accident turned a few adults into kids)? Do you think she was fair game? (Just within the show, not Colm acting a romantic relationship with an 11 year old.) Kes had the body and mind of an adult but was physically only 2. Kaeko had the mind of an adult and was literally 30 but had the physiology of a preteen.

So, why creeped out by Kes? Would it be different if she were a clone (of someone who was legally an adult)? Would it be different if her age were 18 and she only lived to 25? Is it literally our modern(American) legal system informing your opinions?

[Just to be clear, the context of my question is Kes's chronological age of 2 years, which I assume on her planet isn't equal to 9 Earth years, though that would be funny. It's not about their age difference or about any of Neelix's behavior.]

Thanks.

[Edit: Mord was (probably) mentioned in a later book in a Vale Chapter.]

Tyrion was a fucking piece of shit in the first book. (Probably the rest of the books as well, but I've only read them once each. I've read AGoT multiple times, so I'm more familiar with it.)

He broke Marillion's fingers for basically no reason, while Mord tormented him for weeks (I think - it was a while), but Tyrion promised Mord the gold he had on him plus more if he came to Casterly Rock, which incidentally, Tyrion never got the chance to do, but Mord couldn't have known that.

Was Mord mentioned in the Vale chapters in Storm or Dance? I can't remember. I'm sure it wasn't by name if so.

So, did Mord find his way to Casterly Rock to collect? Has he just been in limbo waiting for Tyrion? Is he just fucked now because Tyrion is MIA and an apparent kingslayer and also the murderer of the lord of Casterly Rock? (Also, who is the lord of Casterly Rock now, btw? Jamie? I'm sure there's a castellan at any rate.)

"Ostensibly" refers to the thing you say it is, but really it's something else. It is ostensibly one thing, but it's actually used for something else. I'm looking for the alternative to "actually" or "in practicality."'

I was referring to the Enterprise from Star Trek TNG. I said it was ostensibly a warship, but that's wrong. It is in practicality a warship but is ostensibly a ship of exploration.

[I'm not interested in having the discussion as to whether it is or isn't a ship of whatever.]

So the Enterprise is a ship of war, but they call it a ship of exploration. It is ostensibly a ship of exploration, and it is [inver-stensibly] a ship of war.

I ultimately used the term "in practicality," and it worked fine, but is there a word like ostensibly?

Thanks.

I mostly see it in videos like the guy whose car broke down in front of Allan's girlfriend's house. (I love the follow-up video, btw.)

There are several other videos (non-insurance fraud)

where the person that got rear-ended or sideswiped or whatever will make a good point about the law or lane changes or something, and the person (who is \*clearly\* at fault) will reply with "that doesn't matter." Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Of course, it matters.

Are these people even awake? It's like they're unconscious. Like they're sleepwalking. It's like they're a dolphin, and half of their brain is asleep, and they can only perform basic functions.

My god.

They mention her having a boyfriend, and Murtaugh talks like he met him. He makes fun of his dimples. Then, at the end, they put together that her boyfriend's description matches Mr. Joshua's description.

Was Rianne dating Mr. Joshua? Was Reg just okay with her dating a 30 something?

It's like they cut some lines to fit a runtime. He can somehow see visions of the angel war, and there were a couple lines that don't make sense where he or one of the angels implies that he's an angel, too. If he were somehow the archangel Michael or something, that would have made sense.

If those lines were metaphorical, what's with his visions? They were never explained. Why was that his crisis of faith and not like God not saving his murdered family or something? He could have had any religious background and still been a cop.

I don't need the cave explained. Gabriel did it. That's good enough for me, but I need the main character's motivations explained.

Does anybody know? Thanks.

I'm not real sure what the point of warding is in Westeros in the first place. Maybe to establish relationships? But that's what a marriage would do. Were the North and The Vale at odds? Was it to keep The North in line?

And why did Steffon Baratheon send his heir? That seems super stupid.

Thanks.

Did anyone else think the Martains were Vulcan? Or something? I straight up thought they were Romulan at first because of the phasing technology, but then she wasn't cartoonishly evil.

I can't imagine how they would be Vulcan, logistically. I don't know Vulcan history. All I know is that they had warp technology before humans, and at some point before that, they were all rage monsters.

The scene with Uhura and ensign 150% Vulcan got me prepared to see Vulcans, or for Uhura to use her language skills.

I don't know if this qualifies as a trope, but it's where the hero kills a bunch of henchmen working his way up to the boss for whatever reason.

Action revenge movies?

Some examples are John Wick, The Boondock Saints, Desperado, and Payback. Maybe Yojimbo/A Fistfull of Dollars/Last Man Standing count? [From the comments: Taken, Kill Bill, The Crow.]

Do these story types have a name or an original story they're named for, like Lone Wolf and Cub? And are there any other examples?

Thanks.

I looked over across 7th Street when she started yelling. She had been blocking the sidewalk, and he was in an electric wheelchair. It's possible he said something rude to get her to move, but if so I didn't hear it. Also, don't block the goddamn sidewalk.

He picked up the pace and scooted away as fast as he could while she walked away continually yelling at him indignantly. He was clearly afraid of her, and she was yelling nonsense.

I thought I was going to have to go save him, but she went the other way.

I'm not sure what the moral of the story is. Maybe don't do drugs?

Sad times are these that passing ruffians can say "ni," to old men in wheelchairs.

Usually, my rice is still fairly moist the next day, but occasionally, it's dry as hell. I may have figured out why, and I'm hoping someone can tell me for sure.

Last night, I made rice in an instant pot, and I opened it before the pressure fully released(whatever it's called). The sushi I made from it was great, though the rice was a little hot to work with, and this morning, I nearly choked to death on it it was so dry.

So, did I basically cut fresh bread before it cools? If I let the rice cool in the thing that's holding the moisture in, will the moisture stay in the grains? It seems obvious, but I'd prefer not to waste food trying to dry it out intentionally.

Thanks.

I've never really given it much consideration, but I've had my car towed before, and they checked the registration. And a friend of mine used to have cars towed from his designated parking spot all the time.

I was just watching a YouTube short where someone had a car towed from a public parking place for being "abandoned" when actually it had (probably) only been there for a matter of hours, and they just didn't like a car they didn't know being parked in front of their house.

So, do towing companies actually have to follow pretty strict guidelines, so they don't accidentally commit car theft, or do they have some kind of qualified immunity?

Thanks.

[I did it. It was super easy because it wasn't just a big open room.]

[Cleared W:1 and almost died in W:2.]

[Escaped with the orb. 4 runes.]

I've got all the dungeon branches cleared, and this game has just been giving me everything. I'm a MiFi of Gozag, and I've been tabbing my way through most of the game. I haven't done Zot yet, but V4 was really easy.

I have 22 Heal Wounds (somehow) and a few scrolls of Torment. Scrolls of Poison, Blink, Tele, Immolation.

Obviously, I don't want to YASD, but am I overthinking it? Should I just go?

Everyone else (the teens) is pretty meh. Good not great. Zuko's actor is pretty good so far, though. Obviously, the adults I recognize are really good, but Sokka's portrayal is super spot on. Like, he even gets the original voice actor's inflections right.

I liked Sokka a lot in the original series, so I'm glad they were able to be so faithful to the source material.

I got Maces & Flails up to 12, and I want to get Staves up to 12, too. They're both +2. XP-wise, is it cheaper to train M&F so that Staves cross-trains to 12, or is it quicker to train Staves?

I'm not really sure what math to do to figure this out for myself since xp isn't shown.

Thanks.
