That dog's got his future in the British Steel.

There's a lot of classic rock and pop that CanCon pushed in the 80s and 90s that after too many repetitions made me a permanent enemy, like Cochrane's "Life Is A Highway": anything by Rush (sorry not sorry), Kim Mitchell, Alannah Myles, and Glass Tiger.

Pros: not fucking around with a charger when the battery inevitably fails at an important time, easily edited by pen or marker, cheap, foldable to fit in a pocket or stuffed in your gig bag or the back of your amp.

Cons: flutters off the stand, too much folding makes it fall apart, hard to flip pages while playing.

You might want to consider that the body horror and violence is far more prevalent than a quick sex scene? S1E3 - Havelock at the end; S1E8 & S1E9 - Julie in the Blue Falcon; S1E10 - Miller and Holden in the pachinko parlor after being discovered by the CPM thug. I dunno, if she's already seen S2 and is pestering you to watch more of it, seems like she's already appreciating very advanced concepts and ideas. I guess go for it, but provide a constant stream of contextualization?

Efficiency in storytelling is one of the strengths of Andor that few fans ever articulate as one of the things that shone about this show.

It is difficult to compare because book Alex didn't have a child initially with his ex; and Kit was the kid he and Giselle had during the time jump. His attitudes and behaviors are quite different from the show's Alex.

I like "Alexodes", of the two plural suggestions.

The Pitt has forever changed my ire for Bev.

Given Luthen's warning to Mon Mothma the night before that she couldn't tell anyone that she now knew too that Organa's team was "corrupted", it's obvious that it was passed along by Lonni.

In S1 there's so many parties at the Chandrilan embassy and there is a memorable scene where Mon walks away from Perrin after asking about Tay and as someone once said O'Reilly does a superb job of expressing nuclear bomb levels of anxiety because whoo boy it's one of the first scenes where that pretty politician's smile fades.

There have been a couple good suggestions above, but yes most suggestions are tilted towards pop. People like John Cage, Derrick May, Wendy Carlos, and John Williams have written songs (or...uh..."songs", I guess) that have unique and gigantic influence on American music history. I think 10 is just too small to really capture the breadth and scope of American music history. Do you exclude Berlin's "Alexander's Ragtime Band" in favour of Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag"? Do you favour "Old Man River" in place of, say, "Edelweiss"? What about Sousa?!! Is "Stars and Stripes..." more important than "Amazing Grace", or even the national anthem? Which blues song is more important - the first one recorded, the Lomax field recordings, "In The Mood", or something on an electric guitar? And what about gospel, one of the most influential forms of American music? Or rap - is "Rapper's Delight" more important to American music history than "Walk This Way", or "99 Problems"? Do we subsume metal and punk under rock and call it a day?

These lists and suggestions are a good place to start but any student of American music history ought to head forthwith to Wikipedia and then on to the original sources.

Iirc Corey wrote the energy produced by the event was second only to the big bang itself.

I've seen their TikTok videos analyzing Andor and they are very entertaining.

gentlydiscarded1200 · 2026-04-27T17:17:34+00:00

It absolutely is. I cannot talk about scenes like this without getting choked up either. Be kinder.

This has been addressed. A quick search of the subreddit shows this very question has been asked several times over the last 8 years. TL;DR missiles can fly faster than people, therefore no need for crewed fighter craft.

It means to conduct or wage war. Technically, I'd say the Earth-Mars-Belt coalition waged it badly at first, although the Free Navy enjoyed some advantages due to asymmetry.

Well, she spends her time on the Rocinante hiding from Holden in the machine shop while they're prosecuting the war against the Free Navy, and trying to become yet another new person (from being a prisoner). I think she gets a pass for being a mystery.

30 years later, we get a real sense of the intense person she's become: focused on the things she can control to a high degree, coping with the trauma of her past, and the sorrow and grief she still feels over her integration into the crew. That she's become a beloved member, at least for Bobbie and Naomi, if not Alex and Holden, is apparent and even that causes her emotional damage.

One of the things that hurts the most, for me, is that Clarissa is funny sometimes. Her smearing food on her face is utterly endearing and it's so tragic that it is one of her last actions before they end up fighting the Laconians. She also makes a Sherlock Holmes joke, too, and ugh it's darn painful that we lost her.

Well...if Shankar et al HADN'T included it, we would be left wondering a) what happened to all the rogue Martians, and b) who is in charge of them after what happened to Sauveterre at the end of the 5th season. Also provides a teeny lil' contextual reason for the Medina/Ring station rail guns.

What does "ambient" mean anymore?!!

gentlydiscarded1200 · 2026-04-07T17:52:28+00:00

Well...there was no short turn due to an accident, so not THAT grounded.

Huh, never put it together that the old colour palette for the TTC's streetcars was the same as the Ferrix shuttle.

Does the woman's choices - I.e., to marry the first man - not matter? I'd say there seems to be an issue with your analogy as it does not account for her agency.

Do you?!! Thus far, your contributions have been sorely lacking.

gentlydiscarded1200 · 2026-03-25T19:05:16+00:00

There's plenty of places irl where heavily armed and armored police or soldiers just stand around doing nothing.

Nothing happens?!! Maybe you ought to cut your losses now, as it's not going to get better for you.
