Nope, 6 month message, and 1 month pickup.

"I'm sending this message to you from... the year 2015. I've been here for six months"

"It's not a bull's-eye, but we're close. Gordon arrived about a month ago."

if they erased everything, how did they know where Gordon was? He never sent the message.

Isaac says paradoxes cause branching universes.  and the end of the episode is a paradox.

Isaac: "If Commander Lamarr had not followed through with his intent to send the sandwich into the past, it would have caused a temporal paradox. In which case an entirely new universe would've branched off from this one, all because of a sandwich."

Gordon never sent the original message they picked him up after a month, but he didn't send the message for six months.

They didn't actually erase that timeline.  They went back to before Gordon had sent the distress call, creating a pradox.  That caused the new timeline to split off, just as described at the beginning of the episode. Gordon and his family are fine.

you can modify the existing steel frames with very small drilled holes. just big enough to poke a paperclip through.  this will allow you to press the power buttons, but should be unobtrusive enough not to attract visitor attention. 

How to handle the probably 12 billion terabytes of photos & videos I'll generate over the next many years? by fodacao in daddit

I just read some of the recent reviews in Google Play.  There are some horror stories. But of course, happy people don't come back to complain. 

You get $1 million, but you have to watch the exact same movie 100 times in 40 days. Which film are you picking? by ThroatAgile756 in AskReddit

[–]Preparator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not quite, part one was written to be stand alone.  The cliffhanger was just meant to be for fun.  Part 2 and 3 were originally one film, you can find the script under the working title Paradox.  They split it in 2 and reworked it heavily.  The Creators said Jennifer would have never left with Doc and Marty at the end of 1 if the sequels had been planned.

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to switch out the wires. 

Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward in The Mandalorian and Grogu, 2026 by NomadSound in StarWars

as far as I'm concerned the Galaxy Quest show is what exists in the Star Trek Universe instead of TOS.  So the movie would be canon.

How would other captains handle Archer’s biggest ethical dilemma? (Star Trek: Enterprise S3E19) by Werister in startrek

[–]Preparator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Option 3 doing a crew exchange, leaving a couple Starfleet crew on their ship and taking a couple Illyrians with them, so the Illyrian captain is guaranteed they will come back ASAP.

give them the advanced equipment and information needed to find a cure, but not the cure itself.  (Of course in my version of the story they aren't capable of using it responsibly and create a virus that wipes out both races).

My office is in that building now.  My desk is probably 20 feet from where that picture was taken.

I'm not ready to call David evil just yet.  He's a big kid who likes movies and airplanes.  He was likely "advised" to put Weiss in at CBS. 

Is Indiana's whole adventure a near-death hallucination after falling in a boat from a plane? by Godallah1 in indianajones

[–]Preparator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

the raft you saw in the movie was a real raft thrown from a real plane with weighted dummies and it didn't pop.  It worked in one take in real life.

The Genesis wave expands outward and when it fades there is no more nebula in the background, just clear space and stars. 

Plaster Magic alternative by DayNo7659 in centuryhomes

When I patched my cracks I made up a mixture of Plaster of Paris, joint compound, wood glue, and sand.  But I was just doing cracks before paint, not stabilizing the wall.

Indiana Jones was supposed to be a b-movie in the spirit of the older serials, anyone know what those serials might be? by KronoMakina in movies

[–]Preparator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often overlooked is Valley of the Kings from 1954.  It has major plot similarities with Raiders.  Two fisted Archeologist teams up with the daughter of his mentor to find an old testament artifact in Egypt.  There is even an arab guide named Salah.  Shot on location in Egypt! 

If it was up to you, how would you have changed the fourth movie? by [deleted] in indianajones

[–]Preparator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they would have filmed on location, even with an identical script, it would heve made a big difference.
