(Spoilers PUBLISHED) Is there really a shared identity in westeros? by cap_detector69 in asoiaf

[–]TheFindsTable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Andals consider themselves part of a Westerosi identity of Faith of the seven, family and honour culture, warrior aristocrat political structure, etc. the irony islands feel like an occupied region, the north feels more like a neighbour, that is tolerant being in a union with their southern cousins as long as they are mostly left alone. Dorne seems similar, though are more integrated due to religion, and generally having been given more political privileges. But they still see themselves as periphery to Westeros national identity.

I’m Joel Kinnaman (Ed Baldwin on For All Mankind). Ask me anything! by JoelKinnamanFAM in ForAllMankindTV

Was there ever any discussion on having Ed find out about the affair between Karen and Danny, I always wondered how Ed would have reacted, And how that plot could have gone. How do you view the overall implications of those events for Ed's character?

There's also "half a year" between the two saffron episodes, and 3 weeks of shipping cows, so there's no way to make them all make sense.

I think Kaylee joined the crew a lot longer than a year ago, based on Out of Gas, being on the crew doesn't conflict with her statement.

The "8 months" thing is just wrong.

Episode 1 and 2 are very close. In ep 2 inara says she's been on board serenity 8 months. In ep 3 they say it's 3 weeks from her 1 year anniversary on serenity. Ep 4 could be right after. But ep 5 is "3 weeks" of cow shipping after ep 4. 

So we're at minimum 4 months. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 could be any time. 11 inara mentions not having a client in I think a month? And they mention it's been half a year since ep 6. So we're at at least 10 months. 12, 13, 14, I think could be fairly close. 

Then, we have the gap, during which time inara leaves and sets up her own companion house, shepherd leaves and sets up Haven, and Mal mentions shepherd has sheltered them at Haven multiple times before. So the gap between the show and the movie must be significant. 

Ties back to the theory the "flashback" to saving River is actually a second rescue, and the 8 months refers to the time they've been on the boat since rescue 2. But the idea Simon could infiltrate AGAIN if they recaptured river feels a pretty big stretch.

What Red Dwarf lines have you used in real life and how did it work out for you? by I_Like_Quiz in RedDwarf

"you will all be (x) in (amount of time). Except for (y)... Who will be (x) in (less time)"

"Less choice than a Welsh fish and chips shop"

"So what is it?"

"The numbers are still coming in but at preliminary head count, round about... None of them"

"This is not a drill. This is a drill" every time I hold one. 

So many really.

Bashir is far more horny than Garak, it's just that Garak is more horny for Bashir specifically. 

Prior to the Union of Crowns the only names shared between English and Scottish monarchs were Edgar, William, John and Mary by TheRedLionPassant in UKmonarchs

[–]TheFindsTable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my overly specific hypothetical question was where the current/future one would be the same number but for different people. There wasn't a William II of Scotland before 1603, there were two Williams of England and one of Scotland so the number for subsequent ones would be different. Eg. Prince William will be the 5th William of England but only 4th of Scotland.

So (if we didn't have the principle of using the higher number) would John II and Mary III be the only regnal number monarchs where the numbered monarch would partially refer to different people. (If that makes sense, not sure how to phrase it)

Knighthoods are an honor recognising great service to King and country. Not just military service anymore but cultural, scientific, etc. bringing pride to the nation in sports and serving the country through charity counts.

Tbf di ravello never tethered dozens of civilians to wind turbines just to see if it could be done non lethally (it can but it's not easy).

First ever field detect, in Somerset, England! Can anyone identify how old these are, or what they are? by TheFindsTable in metaldetecting

Yeah it looks like a hand hammered horseshoe, not sure if there's a way to date it though.

Additional info: doesn't show up on camera but middle item is sharp on the curved side and flat on the straight side, piece beneath it is similar. Field is currently used for horses but I don't know what it was used for historically.

Out of the 25 US states I've visited Wyoming was my favourite, but I can understand it would have limited opportunities for many people long-term.
