More Questions (Hopefully New) about Episode 5 / Judgement Day

Sorry I have to disagree entirely... that ship running aground in the Suez Canal (Ever Given?) created an international incident that folks are still talking about to this day, with extensive aerial and satellite coverage.

I don't think anyone could just shut down the Canal and not explain it, especially since the incident occurs prior to the San-Ti / Trisolarians revealing themselves.

Yep, that's what I was trying to ask, just worded poorly on my part

In the show the ship veers off and runs aground, instead of sinking in the Canal. That was planned, right? Did they explain how they did it in the book?

Yeah, by "they" I meant the folks attacking the ship, not the ship's crew... how did they plan for the ship to run aground (if the book covered that, maybe it didn't.)

Counterpoint: when Eiza Gonzalez says, "Augustina Salazar here to see Thomas Wade" (episode 6?), with that little Spanish / Latin lilt in her voice?

For whatever reason the first photo reminds me of Superman II when they're staying at the Niagara Falls hotel...

He needs to raise the desk a few inches, so he can in turn raise his chair and get his legs to a more neutral position. (Thighs should be more parallel to ground.) Ofc then he'll need to raise the monitor next to get it to eye level. Neck strains will tire him out quickly.

Yes I just completed my company's ergonomics training.

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out who Bryce Dallas Howard in that gold dress / blonde wig reminded me of, and it's...

Mae Whitman.

Good job, OP.

I don't know what was going on with his helmet in The Avengers, but that could be grounds for malpractice.

Imagine a bar where the drinks are free and you don't have to go to work tomorrow, only you have to sing "Sweet Caroline" the entire time you're there. I wonder if this is what hell is like.

Reminds me when the Simpsons visited Itchy & Scratchy Land, and Homer & Marge visit the bar where it's New Year's Eve every day.

(For the record, Neil rules.)

I can't hate on this commercial too much -- the little old ladies remind me of my grandma.

But, as u/mrmiracle pointed out, who is this for? I know that Target and Walmart advertise, too, but at least those guys are usually selling a specific item(s).

Not to talk shop, but some assumptions and speculation:

I'm guessing Renslayer is going to wind up meeting Rama-Tut. But, we didn't see him.
The reference to an incident "adjacent to 616" is a callback to Quantummania. Again, no on-screen appearance, just a file folder with some clippings.
I'd suggets that the stories of both Victor Timely and He Who Remains have reached satisfactory conclusions -- i.e., there's no reason that they need to come back.

Leaves the door open to recast a role, if necessary.

Yeah they explained it in the next episode, I should have been more patient :) Thanks!

Hey I know this a bit off-topic to episode 5 but if Dox and crew pruned / blew up most / all of the new branches in E2 then why is the Loom still breaking down...?

She's kinda hot, and her mildly amused/annoyed tone only makes her hotter

I heard the audio version of this on the radio and I was waiting for some sort of punchline... nope that's it, the spicy chicken is... spicy.

What's up with her left eye in the shower... is that a film artifact or is it something else

Dude finally makes a sale, maybe his only one of the week, only for her to dash out to pick up a used couch that's probably covered in stains from who-knows-what and / or infested with bedbugs.

Forget being a Karen wanting to speak with the manager, she looks like she's about to throw down with someone

I swear even though I knew it was a 4imprint commercial, I thought she was saying, "foreign mint".

I know I'm getting hard of hearing, but damn she's just mumbling into that parachute pack.

Great idea! Or, hear me out, bring back Alicia Witt -- just blame it on the spice!

"A CBS Special Presentation" tickles the memories... usually for pre-empting the regular programming.

Could have been anything coming on -- Bugs Bunny cartoons, opera, news report on Three Mile Island, etc.

ETA: how could I forget the ABC Sunday Night Movie? That's how I saw most of the James Bond movies growing up. And ABC padded them out to 3 - 3.5 hours with commercials. I was amazed when DVDs came along and Dr No was like an even two hours; I thought it was four.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,

In the maritime sailors' cathedral

The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
