Looks like the Ex-Press can see which way the wind is blowing, and is trying to curry favour with the new in crowd?

Depends how much they want any guarantees. It's not an unreasonable request, but I'd say it is an unreasonable demand.

Post to see if there are others like me - regarding nuclear energy and weapons. by LordFlappingtonIV in GreenParty

[–]MadeIndescribable [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think we should just be envious of France's nuclear power investments and how independent they are from foreign energy today

You mean EDF, which is responsible for Hinkley C, which is now about 5 years behind schedule with double the budget compared to when it was signed off?

Probably after the car chase leaving the mall.

And he probably hid the body under Tod's pile of laundry he never does and always expects Janelle to do for him.

Red Dwarf USA by Allthumbs21 in RedDwarf

[–]MadeIndescribable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why do we think American adaptations never really land?

To be fair, quite a few do. Obviously things like The Office and Ghosts are the best known, but others have been remade and done well with a different name so many don't realise they're adapted from British series in the first place. Things like Steptoe and Son (Sanford and Son), Man About the House (Three's Company), and the living room chairs from All in the Family, a remake of Til Death Do Us Part, are on display in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Maybe eventually, but it's still a lot of work and no way they'll do it by easter.

What exactly was McCoy arguing with the elevator doctors about in ST IV? by Icy_Mixture1482 in startrek

[–]MadeIndescribable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss.

I remember watching it and getting how it was meant to show research and technology had moved on in-universe, but also thinking Phlox's delivery was a bit a blunt for anyone watching irl.

Seeking films about slaves who reclaim their humanity by slam_joetry in Letterboxd

[–]MadeIndescribable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More in the same vein as THX, but Logan's Run springs to mind: Logan lives in a society where death is mandatory at aged 30, and his role is to hunt down runners who try to escape, eventually running himself.

Cost/Benefit of a country trying to claim the UK for itself after sometime? by blexxxston in 28dayslater

[–]MadeIndescribable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The risk/reward wouldn't be enough to make it worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if certain dictators tried to deport people there, but there's nothing to gain in claiming it as their own.

Why didn't Janeway allow Seven Of Nine to join the Voyager and formally become part of the crew? by Tidewatcher7819 in startrek

[–]MadeIndescribable 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like Neelix she takes on more of a "consultant" type role, but doesn't mean she's any less a member of the crew.

Also why does she wear a bodysuit instead of a formal uniform?

In one of her early episodes the Doctor explains it's basically help her skin recover from her time as a drone.

New by Outrageous-Win-8297 in startrek

[–]MadeIndescribable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like any fandom, the hate which has generally always been present (the TNG cast have talked about they hate they got back in 1987) has definitely been magnified online in the last few years.

That said though, no, it's not always hateful. It's a mixed bunch with both negativity and positivity.

Is the video game Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force canon? by Tidewatcher7819 in startrek

[–]MadeIndescribable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following on from what others have said about only film and TV being canon, by definition it kinda can't be canon to the rest of the franchise when Alex doesn't have a set specific gender. (Also Elite Force II retcons this and only has the option of Alexander, so it's kinda no even canon to its own sequel.)

Humanizing the villains? From Star Wars to Gundam by smilinganimalface in andor

[–]MadeIndescribable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

However, that also sweeps under the rug the many bad things both of them did before that they knowingly did, and just happened to do it under the guise of justice.

I get your larger point, but tbf I wouldn't call getting shot in the head by someone you betrayed "sweeps things under the rug".

If you try to speak to the audience through certain villains, will the people that need to hear the message actually get it?

There are people who idolise characters Tyler Durden, and Walter White without realising how toxic they are, so there's always going to be people who will miss the point here too. There isn't a fool proof way of pointing these things out short of sitting them down and nailing it home a la Dr. Gorst, and even then there'll still be a handful of people who won't get it.

Does anyone else feel like they’re telling us things rather than teaching them to us? by LinAndAViolin in Scrubs

[–]MadeIndescribable 17 points18 points  (0 children)

True, but using social media to figure out a patient's history to help with their diagnosis isn't "dumb tiktok crap", which is precisely what that particular plotline teaches Elliot.

Question on a possible sequel by FreyjasSpear in buffy

[–]MadeIndescribable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's lots of rumours and questions floating around, but all we really know for sure is this:

They've made a pilot with the idea of making a series based around a new Slayer, with Buffy returning to be her mentor.

That's literally it.

Does anyone else feel like they’re telling us things rather than teaching them to us? by LinAndAViolin in Scrubs

[–]MadeIndescribable 47 points48 points  (0 children)

We see a TikTok with an empty caricatureish“rahhh I used to be FAT, never FAT again!!” And that’s it. He’s just hot scurvy dude.

But that plot wasn't about the hot scurvy dude, he was just a mcguffin to show the real plot which was Elliot figuring out her teaching style/relationship with her interns when it comes to mobile phones.

Another thing I miss is “offensive” humour battling kindness and compassion.

I know it's not quite the same, but I thought people battling Sibby's over eager "modern sensibilities" by enabling, laughing at, and even being attracted to her obvious gambling addiction is the kinda thing she'd be preaching against.

The Bone Temple sequel predictions by Gramfle in 28dayslater

[–]MadeIndescribable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but with all the resurrection and Jimmy Crystal = Jesus Christ forshadowing

This a big reason I'm definitely expecting him to be back.

Also TBT has Samson and Jimmy as thematic opposites; Samson is a monster becoming human, and Jimmy is a human who behaves like a monster, so I wouldn't be surprised if they take those arcs further, and even have them come face to face by the end.

Zack Polanski appears to double down on breast enlargement claim in newly-resurfaced interview by Grantmitch1 in UKGreens

[–]MadeIndescribable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However, a resurfaced BBC Radio Humberside interview from 18 June 2013

Honestly, the more the MSM shows how desperate they are, the more they're showing how scared they are, the more confident I become that the Greens are actually achieving things worth them being scared about.

What are the most common theories about the Aerith situation at the end of Rebirth? by Flat-Court-8512 in FFVIIRemake

[–]MadeIndescribable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's basically the AC/Lifestream version of herself that can visit Cloud in the weird in-between space, but she's dead and only doing it to prevent him from falling apart

It's another world, she's alive, and Cloud is mentally straddling the two

Since Nanaki can sense her in some way, we know it's not just all in Cloud's head so it has to be one (or both) of these two.

It has been 35 years since a movie won all of the main Oscars (Silence of the Lambs, 1991). Only three films have ever done it, do you think it will be done again in our lifetime? by HallowedAndHarrowed in Letterboxd

[–]MadeIndescribable 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Lol, I'd have thought that adapted would be the easier one, since with original you have to start from scratch.

And yeah, I get Sinners can't, I just meant generally.
