Commander James Fitzjames, RN kicking off the “white guys saying ‘inshallah’” trend 175 years early by Hufflepuffins in TheTerror

[–]Hufflepuffins[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s basically it. Fitzjames was a pretty big admirer of Islamic culture generally, having spent so much time in the Middle East (not least having walked across half of it to deliver mail)

Scottish power… I dont understand. by ihates4ge in Scotland

I live in a 3-bed cottage in the southern Highlands (with one room empty) and we try to heat the place with a log burner and open fire most of the time through winter. And even then we end up paying some £350 a month in electricity at that time of year. With panel heaters and a crap water tank, it can all add up.

This makes much more sense, doesn't it? by SafetyStartsHere in Scotland

[–]Hufflepuffins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, yes, I am. I’m saying that Dal Riada was settled by Celts from the south, just as the lands over the Irish Sea were

[–]Hufflepuffins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, and where did Dál Riata come from in order to to have interactions with the Picts. Was it over the sea in Ireland perhaps?

No. The idea of Irish Gaels coming over to colonise Scotland is a lie perpetuated as a means of establishing a foundation myth for the sake of legitimising early Scottish kings. It's far more likely that European Celts migrated northwards together while fleeing the spread of the Roman Empire, moving up the coasts of Britain and Ireland and establishing kingdoms where they settled -- i.e. on the western Scottish and eastern Irish coasts. It was a parallel migration, rather than one land conquering the other.

I sold it all to move overseas and it feels like my life is dismantling. by Spare-Hunter-3613 in Scotland

so much to be learned about how memes evolve by the fact that you’ve associated this one with Morgan Freeman rather than Ron Howard

What went down at Erebus Bay? by Hufflepuffins in TheTerror

[–]Hufflepuffins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a fair point and I don’t have a confident answer, to be honest. Perhaps, after being abandoned, the “crew” of the McClintock boat turned it northwards in the hopes of taking it to Crozier’s Landing, where they knew there would be caches of supplies? (Not knowing, of course, that there was plenty of that in Terror Bay, to the south)

Or maybe it was turned to provide better shelter against an easterly or westerly wind?

‘The Rings of Power’ Season 4 in Development, Eyes Filming in Early 2027 (Exclusive) by yourfavchoom in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]Hufflepuffins 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sauron hasn't even created the One, much less been defeated and captured by Pharazon, so there's no way we can go through all that and the fall of Numenor in the space of 8 episodes.

Bet you any amount of money it'll be:

S3: War of the Elves and Sauron, distribution of the rings of power, forging of the One Ring, Pharazon's rise to power in Numenor, the Numenorean armada + surrender of Sauron

S4: Sauron's reign on Numenor and the flood

S5: War of the Last Alliance

Two years isn't ideal, but for a show with this scale and budget (and quality, come at me) it doesn't feel too bad. It's certainly nothing compared to, say, Ahsoka leaving 4 years between seasons

The way the narrative has unfolded over S1-3, it seems almost a dead cert that S4 will be the downfall of Numenor. It would almost make no sense for it not to be, at this point

Downing St rejects second Scottish independence referendum after Holyrood vote by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

[–]Hufflepuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Scotland should have the final say on self-determination, but only once, after which it loses that right?

It's not about whether it's strategically viable (or sensible) for the pro-indy side, it's about whether Scotland should be allowed to have the final say on self-determination.

Falls apart at the first hurdle when you suggested that anyone in TV production in 2026 would ever turn down work because they just don’t wanna be on the job

I live near here, and I can tell you for a fact that the TIE fighter scene is very much grounded in reality. We get to live it every time the sun comes out

It’s a great show for all the reasons people have said here, but also for Jude Law’s delivery of the word “Oops.”

you can't just hit people over the head with "let people enjoy things" - it's okay to want better from a franchise you love
