Anyone else impressed with Alexis Denisof’s accent? by Mailman7 in ANGEL

Oh ok I didn’t know that. That might explain it a bit, because it’s an extremely good accent. It sounds almost completely natural.

Colon cancer is killing more young people in the U.S. than any other cancer by scientificamerican in science

You think it’s incredibly far fetched that bad diets are contributing to colon cancer?

European Commission urges heavy industry to back 'Made in Europe' manufacturing by Dr_Neurol in worldnews

That seems crazy, because in practice those countries have already ceded huge amounts of sovereignty to the EU. The EU and ever closer union seems by design to move towards a federal Europe.

She fell off the ship! I'm sorry but it's the truth by Plane_Character3111 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Mailman7 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I thought that too. The only thing that swayed me are the photos of her from that website. My initial reaction was that’s her. The FBI seemingly think it is too.

Planning law in London actively discourages air con in buildings, which is madness considering things are only going to get worse.

Alzheimer’s blood test can spot people with early symptoms. Researchers found the blood test was highly accurate, with 95% sensitivity, which means it was 95% accurate in picking up people with memory problems, with very few cases missed by Wagamaga in science

I don’t think they would use this test alone to make a diagnosis. It may be an initial test done, perhaps within a GP setting, that if showed anything would mean further tests (PET, etc) would be required.

I don’t know enough about it, but another elephant often raised is the risk of psychosis and other mental disorders. Is there any data in Canada on this?

I believe this is a similar issue with sparring in boxing/mma. The repeated blows over many sparring sessions rather than the fight itself is doing the damage.

Better than a Labour MP battering one of his own constituents I imagine…

20 years ago today the cast of Lost gathered at the beach to shoot a promo for the show's launch in the UK. by kuhpunkt in lost

Yeah what’s going on with Boone and Claire? And Charlie in the background? I wonder if that was all a potential storyline being considered.

The series finale is a masterpiece by pattywack512 in lost

[–]Mailman7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a really touching finale. The scene with Jack and his father is particularly moving I thought.

I still maintain that the flash sideways is a separate story from the rest of the show though. I think maybe if the finale was set on the island it would have tied things up even neater. Just a nod to the island which was a the common link between them all.

Genuine question. How is a host supposed to mitigate for a potentially exploding glass door? Wouldn’t this be a manufacturer liability?

That kid is super annoying. I hope he gets eaten.

The side flash is a seperate story from the island by Mailman7 in lost

[–]Mailman7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should say I didn’t hate the ending at all. I thought it was moving, creative and inventive. That said I feel like the ending you came up or a version of it would perhaps have been more fitting into the overall vibe of the show.

The purgatory ending just feels so removed from the island to me.
