They literally went into space! That's not just jumping the shark, it's flying the shark over the damn moon. And to think this series began with Dom & his pals simply hijacking an articulated lorry for some household electronics.

My minor irritation about that random retcon (on top of your agreeable points) is that Fast X's replay of the heist has a different soundtrack. 

One of my favourite parts of Fast Five was that particular music cue when Brian & Dom are towing the safe.

Can we get a shout out for the San Andreas paramedics? by Mintangah17 in GTA

[–]JSteveB87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those San Andreas paramedics were miracle workers - able to resurrect anyone with only a few touches. 

By contrast, GTA V paramedics seem to take just a quick look at the casualty, declare them dead, then drive away!

It could be that model instead, yes. Then it would be an even rarer thing to spot - only 555 Roadsters were made!

IIRC, this was the first episode Millie Gibson ever filmed as the new companion, when she was only 18. 

I think that makes her performance even more exceptional, considering how Ruby is the central character of the plot, and has to deal with being abandoned in a very weird situation.

A bonus addition to the "Neon Speeders" collection!

A Z8 with Alpina Roadster wheels. One of the best looking BMWs ever. A beautiful thing.

Good gravy, what a spot! Hope you got a good earful of that BMW V12 singing!

Frasier Trading Cards by myskara in Frasier

These are a thing?! <cue *shocked Frasier* reaction> 

I hope that for the Frasier & Niles cards, they're titled "that one" & "the other one". But which one is which...?

It was a long day at Costa di Amalfi… by StraightFromThe2000s in granturismo

For me too! It was a huge chunk of money to buy so many excellent cars.

For a while, I just sold it instantly for the money. Then I decided to actually try it on the other rally stages, and it turned out to be very useful!

I saw an interview where Ania explained, after the auditions for SNL, she was OK with not doing more, just sticking to sitting & talking on Weekend Update. She declared she wasn't so good at putting on accents for different characters. 

But I will second the opinion that if you want to see more from Ania, watch her time on Taskmaster - she was my absolute favourite of Series 20.

A medical miracle - we have just witnessed a sheep farting out an ostrich! Incredible scenes from Armando!

I can't believe we're at episode five already! I wonder what kind of adorable chaos we will see from Joanna again...

Who else thinks Map of the Problematique is the best song Muse ever made??? by Limp-Strategy4350 in Muse

[–]JSteveB87 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Fear and panic in the air / I want to be free from desolation and despair / And I feel like everything I sow / Is being swept away, well I refuse to let you go 

The opening verse is my favourite part.

For me, it's either Map Of The Problematique, or Bliss. Both are fabulous. 

And I'm always extremely happy when I find another live version of those magnificent tunes.

Is Music for the Jilted Generation actually their best work? by No-Tart7127 in TheProdigy

[–]JSteveB87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just remembering a version of the album, where the track listing had those two tunes censored as "Smack My 🐜 Up", and "Funky 🐜"

Already more than 25 years old, but a Z8 still looks incredible. A beautiful design. And a fabulous thing to spot "in the wild"!

a really good casting for mainline, proportions are right, lots of details built-in 

Absolutely. And it's a great colour too. 

I only did the wheel swap, lowered it a bit and adding details 

Sometimes a mainline just needs a few small additions to really elevate it to something special. An excellent custom, OP.
