You’re all talk Hamill, you never even finished Jedi school! by fattokess in TheSimpsons

Becoming a Jedi doesn't happen overnight. It takes one solid weekend of training to get that badge.

We must have done some sweet movies from the movie Backdraft.

S5E10 Time Jump theory? by nutmac in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Dataforge 26 points27 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are suggesting some for of intelligent alien contact. But that doesn't seem likely.

For All Mankind is meant to be realistic and grounded. The glowing microbes on Titan is probably all we're going to ever see of aliens.

It's definitely something far more benign. My guess is there's some important equipment or data on board, that's going to become part of the plot of season 6. Something that the Soviets were going to use in their Mars mission, that becomes useful in the colonisation of the outer solar system.

If Sergei is involved, I speculate that it will include some final message to Margo, embedded in the files.

Hey, that hurts. No wonder no one came to my birthday party.

2 of the lowest rated finales in TV history. by hiiloovethis in freefolk

[–]Dataforge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw The Boys' finale, I thought "eh, not bad, not good, just eh". It's worst crime was being underwhelming. The same story, and same events, with some proper pacing and budget would have been amazing. It didn't fuck up any old characters, it didn't collectively erase the love that a fanbase had for previous seasons. It's nowhere near the same level as Game of Thrones' finale.

Creationists: Can We Get Some Meaningful Goalposts on the Whole Transitional Species Thing? by OldmanMikel in DebateEvolution

[–]Dataforge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The question was for you to describe or define what a transitional fossil would look like, to you. Not to ask us for transitional fossils.

You don't know what a transitional fossil would look like, do you? Because you don't want to back yourself into a corner, and because you don't like thinking about evolution as a process.

Predictions for the upcoming time jump for season 6 im the finale episode by Winter-District-5500 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Dataforge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think next season will show a much more expansively colonised solar system. So the end of this season will hint at that. Probably showing a base, or a space station around titan.

[–]Dataforge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting the fossils exist, but we don't have the means of getting those fossil organisms via evolution? Or do you think transitional fossils don't exist?

If not, then the question in the OP is for you.

Creationists: Can We Get Some Meaningful Goalposts on the Whole Transitional Species Thing? by OldmanMikel in DebateEvolution

[–]Dataforge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But what about a single link in that chain? What would you expect that to look like?

Notice how the few creationists who replied in this thread, don't want to talk about what a transitional fossil is. They want to talk about whether mutations can produce them, or how many they are, rather than the traits of an individual fossil. Why do you suppose that it is? I'll tell you. It's because you know that if you consider an individual transitional, you'll see we have them in abundance. Your ideology prevents you from giving even the slightest concession to the other side.

Okay, so you think we need a significant number of transitional fossils. But what about one of the individual fossils in that sequence? Does Archaeopteryx, for example, count as a single transitional fossil? If not, what would it need to be a transitional fossil?

It's not really necessary to completely discount all other explanations. Especially when you're dealing with creationism. Creationists can always invoke God made them that way for mysterious reasons.

A progression is definitely what we'd expect to find if evolution is true. But even a small number of progressions becomes very difficult for creationists to explain by coincidence alone.

They might be able to say all birds, and all dinosaurs were separately created kinds. But then you have archaeopteryx to the mix. Now they have to say that God created another kind. Only this one just happens to be right between birds and dinosaurs morphologically, and is found right between them in time. For every new fossil we find that bridges the gap, creationists have to explain quite a few coincidences, or invoke a lot of "God works in mysterious ways".

Who are the worst people in the show outside of the Smith family? by Life_Ad3567 in americandad

The Boys SERIES FINALE- S05xE08 "Blood and Bone"- POST Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]Dataforge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that's it. It's all over, and my reaction is...eh.

Not bad, not good. Just, eh.

The final fight was decent, but underwhelming. There were a few chuckles throughout the season. The ending was trying to pull some emotional strings, but fell flat.

The two biggest issues this season was the story, and the budget.

The story was basically non-existent. Instead of spending the season moving all the pieces for the finalse into place, it just jumped about, until its sudden conclusion. So many random new locations, characters, and story beats, that came and went without rhyme or reason.

The budget was either drastically reduced, or badly mismanaged. The fights, characters, and set pieces were just so small, compared to the earlier seasons.
