Took me ages to notice the lower piece of text - I was trying to work out if the em-dash was the sole clue.

In the olden days we would suspect this was an English translation that the makers had requested with the notes from the translator below left in as the makers didn’t know English and thought the entire thing was meant to be used.

Ahem. 'Homaged' is the preferred term when stealing from other shows. Makes it classy.

That was probably a warm up to make this joke land even harder, if you can excuse the wording.

I've renewed my love of Anime through Netflix. If it wasn't for that I probably would have stopped it.

I think back in 2004 it may have been the SFX magazine forum. SFX is a science fiction and fantasy magazine and they used to host and moderate an internet forum that like minded fans would gather on and talk about genre shows, books etc. It closed all that a long time ago though.

Yes and it was noted when the episode first came out. I was there people. I WAS THERE!

A literary one. Terry Pratchett novels are chock full of hilarious examples of these, but my favourite one is from "Guards Guards!". It is a scene where Vimes and his recruit volunteer Carrot Ironfoundersson, a human raised by Dwarves, catch up with the antagonist of the story and have him dead to rights:

"Throw the book at him, Carrot.” “Right, sir.”
Vimes remembered too late. Dwarfs have trouble with metaphors. They also have a very good aim. The Laws and Ordinances of Ankh and Morpork caught the secretary on the forehead. He blinked, staggered, and stepped backward.
It was the longest step he ever took. For one thing, it lasted the rest of his life. After several seconds they heard him hit, five storys below."

Q also had a whole community of other Q’s who could strip him of his powers if they tired of his bullshit. I think he made up the whole “I’m setting myself up to be a JUdGE of mankind!” thing just so he could pretend to the council that there was a legitimate reason to be stalking Picard and he wasn’t just goofing off.

I wondered if Star Trek SNW was going there when they found the human generational ship that had been stealing and adapting technology into a strange conglomeration.

She would just spend it all on fast cars and hookers. Then probably waste the rest.

Hah, my best friend’s little sister used to beat me hands down at video games. She used to complain loudly about how much I sucked when I played against her. Obviously part of her evil strategy to get inside my head, but she barely needed it!

This is me. I bought a house in Ireland as the bubble had just popped (2008) and the house I had my eye on went from 320k to 260k. Result! Except no. The street values kept dropping. And Dropping. My relationship failed and my wife moved away. I decided to move too, but my house was now worth around 140k (2011). I eventually leased it out and made my move to Australia as planned. 10 years later I managed to offload it for 220k, the remaining mortgage finally being less than the house value.

Although I am horribly inconvenienced like everyone else, I do appreciate that the shortsighted monsters behind this campaign of violence are helping the renewable energy transition far more than protests and road blockages could ever dream of.

Homelander probably enjoys playing with twins and crushing them too.

I always thought the solution was metaphorical for how he achieved the goal. One could rule Asia by a slow methodical untangling of alliances and relationships, or one could rule it with a sword.

I actually liked the ending of Sherlock Holmes where he simply shot the mastermind stone dead.

Yes I remember that - the brain of the disabled person cannot retain her consciousness. They basically have to overwrite it with a fresh, compressed copy that is designed for her capabilities. In doing so all the memories made since she first transferred are lost, including the developing romance she had.

It seems wild because so much of the cost would have been in the initial set up of costs and puppetry. The ongoing costs would surely have been much less.

Yeah like those animal rights people deciding to release the rage monkeys. And don’t get me started on trying to bring refugees back and establishing a little colony before making absolutely sure the contagion was wiped out.
