Wide right 2 absolutely cost FSU a championship, but wide right 1 was just one of two losses.

Replace Pippen with another player who you think Jordan would win at least 6 rings with. I’d say Barkley, Alonzo Mourning, and Penny if he could stay healthy. Just to name a few outside of the obvious like Shaq or Hakeem

I love X Files, watched it from the pilot episode in 93 up until season 6-7. I just started rewatching it on Hulu last week. As an adult you notice things that flew over your head as a kid.

The episode in season 1 called “Ice” has this scene where they are describing what the parasitic worms do to people. Scully says they burrow into the hypothalamus, to which a guy says “the hypothalamus secretes a hormone called acetylcholine which is responsible for violent and aggressive behavior’. This isn’t just wrong, it’s the complete opposite of what acetylcholine does.

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter,( not a hormone) sent by the parasympathetic nervous system that hyper-polarizes the pacemaker cells in the heart therefore lowering the heart rate. It’s a rest and digest response. It’s the opposite of norepinephrine, which would have made more sense to use for this storyline. I can’t believe they just threw some nonsense out like that when Scully was supposed to be a medical doctor. Still a great episode though.

Imagine a hostile, advanced alien civilization coming to attack earth and Skynet had already annihilated humans a while before. Skynet and the terminators immediately activate and engage. On one hand you could imagine Skynet being outmatched, but skynet could learn very quickly and figure them out. I would love to see this in an anime style like terminator zero.

I was only 7 when I saw it in theaters back then so I was too young to be aware of the marketing. Plus I hadn’t seen the first movie to even know what I was in for.

In retrospect it seems like it would be pretty obvious though. I’m not sure how they could have shown any scenes of the T-1000 in trailers without hinting at him being the bad guy. Sarah Connor tells us in the very beginning of T2 that there’s a protector. Even the bar scene makes it really obvious since he never kills anyone even after being burnt by a cigar, stabbed with a knife, and having guns pulled on him. In T1 he killed all 3 of the punks for simply pulling a knife out. Plus the “bad to the bone” song playing when he’s about to leave the bar makes it pretty obvious that he’s the one you’re supposed to like.

But like I said, I was too young at the time and I’m looking back at it with a different perspective.

I still love T2 as it was my introduction to the series. My friend’s mom took 7 year old me and him to the theatre in 1991 to see it and it was the greatest cinematic experience I have ever had in the theater. As an adult though I lean more towards T1 as my favorite. It lacks in budget and that definitely shows, but it makes up for it in raw, unfiltered delivery.

The terminator was just a badass killing machine and wiped out an entire police station, and took out multiple other people who stood in his way. It had a real horror feel to it. I have nothing bad to say about T2 at all, but I love how T1 never held back.
