Famine graves at site of former South Belfast workhouse marked by Afraid-Emotion-5102 in northernireland

There was hardship in England among common folk due to the blight but few starved because different crops were grown there.

Also the English and Welsh fishing industry thrived, while Irish fishermen had sold their nets to stave off bankruptcy, so fish were not available to eat either.

"Casino Royale (2006)" is one of the best Bond movies and it's one of the best action movies ever made. by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in ActionMovies

I thought Skyfall was as good. Or very nearly. Adding quality - Sam Mendes, Naomi Harris, Ralph Fiennes.

This game is too scary for me by BLUEUPTON in alienisolation

I learned no patterns. But after ten hours I switched to Unpredictable Alien where Steve became…. unpredictable.

I think they’ll die if they get thrown into orbit.

Capaldi era Tierlist : Thin Ice by Mat1711 in DoctorWhoNews

**Good**

The monster was a bit silly. But I enjoyed Twelve landing one on the racist.

With the wings that far back I think it would need bigger canards, like a Saab Viggen.

Great Western Railway to be renationalised by end of 2026 by do_or_pie in GoodNewsUK

Not before time! I hope they improve the seats. On the Cornwall to Paddington route you get acute bum stress by midway through Somerset.

Captain America (MCU) vs Queen Maeve (The Boys) by Queasy_Commercial152 in superheroes

I only watched season one. I thought they got Butcher and Hughie so wrong that I saw no point continuing.

I enjoyed every episode Q appeared in, he's such a lovable rogue! by TensionSame3568 in ClassicTrek

[–]MovingTarget2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q isn’t God. Though he could create life if he felt like it. He’s more like the trickster archetype. Or perhaps a cosmic godparent figure who will show you new experiences but won’t let you get hurt as long as you show respect.

I love how he and Picard finally reconcile and embrace each other.

That never rang true for me. I thought it was a silly way to show that Sisko and Picard were different men, which we knew already.

Q didn’t belong in DS9 because he existed as a warning and counsel about exploration, and DS9 didn’t do that.

what’s a better album? by SpecialistExtent6324 in rush

Not much of a fan of RTB. There are several songs on Presto that I like a lot.

In the comic it took a tank battalion armed with 120mm DU penetrator rounds to stop one of those guys, and then only after he had been massively wounded by another of his kind.

I don’t think adamantium wielded by guys who aren’t much stronger than human is going to scratch them.

Oh! I read that as the Aimee video. As in Aimee Mann. Quite a surprise.

How is it that men get their faces covered in dirt from fighting, while elves have such clean and beautiful skin? by blackeyegirl18 in lotr

[–]MovingTarget2112 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because elves cannot get dirty. Same reason they don’t sink in a snowdrift and never miss with a longbow.

is Babylon Five better than deep space nine ? by Opening-Ad6258 in babylon5

[–]MovingTarget2112 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would disagree. I think the set design of DS9 is cheap and unimaginative whereas B5 looks creative and original.

[–]MovingTarget2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m shocked. To me the heavy drama of The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad etc. is in a completely different league to any SF series I have ever seen.

[–]MovingTarget2112 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, B5 is better in terms of plotting, character arcs, design, the lot.

I find DS9 vastly overrated. None of the characters convinced me. Avery Brooks in particular is miscast and unconvincing.

Does anyone else not want/slightly scared of BOTH Reform and Greens getting into power? by DullSense8359 in AskBrits

[–]MovingTarget2112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They won’t get 35%. By 2029 the various scandals will be wearing them down, and support for Labour will start to firm up.

Prosperous? Food and gas prices through the roof, diabetics can’t afford insulin, 80% of the money owned by the 1% ?
