I really love it when the cracks in their facade show and they relax and enjoy. When they came to Rory's birthday party and Emily gushed over Sookie and Richard discovered he is "an autumn."
I couldn't stop laughing. It shows that theyre actually human and not just the stereotypical rich people.
I never had kids and went to public school. So I have no frame of reference for this episode. Is Rory wanting to listen to music and read at lunch a bad thing?
From my POV, not very many people there are really the type that you become bffs with. Certainly not Paris and her enclave or Tristan who Im not sure has brain cells.
She does have friends like Lane and Dean. So its not like shes a complete loner, they just dont go to Chilton.
I should add no spoilers please.
Netflix rated the show TV-14. For "Sex and Language"
What language? I dont think I've even heard a "shit" Definitely some damns but thats hardly bad language anymore. Even back in 2k6 when the series came out it wasnt bad language.
I cant even wrap my head around an equation to figure that out.
Of course I'm assuming he's a direct line ancestor and not an uncle or cousin or something.
Although, without that caffeine she might become Michel, without the accent of course
I was remembering one of my favorite BTS moments from TOS. Thinking back now it seems...weird.
Filming Devil in the Dark, and during lunch Shatner gets a call that his dad died. They continue filming after lunch and when Spock is mind melding with thw Horta and yells "Pain!" Shatner days "Somebody get this Vulcan an aspirin."
At least thats they way Bill told it in Star Trek Memories. Now I don't know what kind of relationship he had with his dad, but if it were me I wouldn't go back to work. I would be crying. I guess everyone mourns differently.
As a kid when I read this, i thought it was hilarious. As an adult...kind of weird.
I just started watching this show but I love it. When I've had a bad day this show is there. When I'm missing my late wife, this show makws me feel better. Lorelai's sense of humor, especially with her mother, always makes me laugh.
To me it's like a warm hug at the end of a sh*tty day.
I have read all 7 books and listened to the audiobooks but only partway through book 7. Despite all that I'm stull confused exactly "the river" is.
Is it a metaphor for the lingering voice of doubt in his mind? Or is it some debuff that has been afflicted on him?
Pretty much all my shows are on summer hiatus so Im watching Untold Stories of the ER. After watching The Pitt, everything else just seems...inferior.
To paraphrase an old rental car commercial:
*When it comes to medical dramas, there's The Pitt and then there's "not exactly."*
According to a trivia book I have the Klingon phrase "Today is a good day to die" originated with several different Natuve American nations. This Wikipedia article seems to confirm that.
So ive got this electorinc star trek trivia book. 2500 questions covering everything Star Trek from beginning to the end of Enterprise and/or Nemesis. (Whichever came last)
So far I have answered 508 out of 2500 questions with 292 correct for an average of about 57%
There was one question recently that I have a problem with the "correct" answer. The question was What was Chekov's station in TMP? I said weapons but was told the correct answer was helm. That cant be right. I remember the scene with the warp distortion and the asteroid. They had to fire a torpedo because the phasers were channeled through the warp drive (because some idiot didnt ask Scotty before redesigning the whole phaser array). It was Chelov at the back station who fired the torpedo. Besides helm was Sulus station.
Between this and The Rookie. Can't they just let them have a happy ending?
I HAD AS MUCH FAITH AS ANYBODY IN THE GOSPELS. WHY DIDNT MY WIFE WAKE UP LIKE LAZARUS? LIKE THE ONE DISCIPLES MOTHER OR OTHERS? I PUT ALL MY FAITH INTO GOD TO HEAL HER AND INSTEAD I LOST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
I SPENT MONTHS PRAYING DLING EVERYTHING I COULD TO HELP HER, THINKING GOD WILL HELP ME HELP HER GET BETTER!
INSTEAD I GET A CALL AT 1AM 5 DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS THAT THEYRE DOING CPR AND BEFORE IM EVEN DRESSED I GET A CALL SAYIN G THEY STOPPED BECAUSE OF THWJR "PROTOCOL"
SCREW YOUR PROTOCOL!!! SCREW Y I UR MODWRN MEDICINE. YOU DID NOTHING . GOD DID NOTHING AND NOW IVE BEEN LIVING ALMOST A YEAR A F A HALF WITHOUT .Y WIFE. MY LOVE THE REASON I GOT UP. THE MOST BEAITIFUL WLMAN EVER
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced tjat the Tamarians have two languages:
The metaphorical Darmok stuff is mainly used by their First Contact Specialists. They use it to help convey the big stuff like peace and friendship. BUT they come with animated short films like "Darnok and Jalaad at Tenagra", to aid in the understanding of the reference. This makes first contact easier because it circumvents the unavoidable hiccups that always happen with the universal translator.
(Side note: Shaka, When the Walls Fell is quite funny. Picture a Charlie Chaplin type guy as a military commander trying to defend his base. The first thing he does is sound the warning alarm thats meant to try and scare the attackers away because its really loud and sounds like a huge beast. Unfortunately, the speakers were pointed the wrong way (i.e. back towards the base) and when the warning sounded it blew the walls down)
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah first contact. Capt. Dathon thought he could be a First Contact Specialist without the proper training and the short films. Thus he ended up being a real life Shaka.
Once first contact is made with a custom We come peace video, then they start using their normal language because the metaphors will only take you so far.
"Your mother should've dribbled you back out on the truck stop bathroom floor."
I think she says it to Ren but im not sure.
Either way, it just seems out of character for her. She tends to be more creative on her insults. Even when she was taking jabs at Prince Maestro she was creative rather than crass.
It doesnt even seem like a Carl insult either.
Is this something she might've gotten from Bea?
Quinto leaned waaaay into the pure vulcan logic (and we all saw how that worked out for him)
Peck on the other hand...well as much as i like him MUCH more than Quinto, he's just sort of there. He doesn't stand out like Nimoy did. He's just a little too quiet. I dont know if its the acting or the writing. He's just too subtle. Nimoy didnt necessarily draw attention to himself or try to steal the spotlight, but he certainly *acted.*
Neither one will ever be as good as Nimoy (obviously). But right now I would take Peck over Quinto.
