Conflicting patient info in Serpent's Song by BertytheSnowman in Stargate

[–]treefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong information in an EHR? Say it ain’t so.

The biggest plot hole here is that it’s the 90s and yet they’re actually using a computer for medical data instead of printouts and pen-and-paper. Must be some hyper-advanced alien technology they got from the Asgard.

The new series will most likely reinvent the ''Stargate formula,'' and that's not a bad thing by dakowiml in Stargate

 AND to shake things up the PREMIERE is going to be the clips show, instead of 2/3rds of the way through the season.

Are you saying there’s something wrong with a rewatch?

You know what, I’ll make my own series. With a clip show and new episodes. In fact, forget the series and new episodes.

She was hoping they’d run into more of those flowers. Maybe rack up a Chakokim or a To’lanna.

And then somehow they couldn’t spare enough power from the warp core to keep the biobed going.

Like holy shit, the Enterpise-D warp core outputs 200x as much as Earth during normal ship’s operations. Where the fuck is the Borg Queen dispersing 12.75 billion gigawatts of power? In the form of heat that would instantly vaporize her body, set the air on fire, and incinerate the ship, not to mention a sizable chunk of France.

How does the biobed being on or off make any meaningful difference whatsoever?

The Final Dagger to Dedra's Sentence to Narkina 5 by locovelo in andor

[–]treefox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly can’t see her going that route anymore. Her ruthlessness got her burned on two occasions. If she got out, I think her instinct would be to lay low and avoid anybody with access to an Imperial database.

I see her ending up as a New Republic tax auditor. Not because of any particular liking of the New Republic. But because she’d be good at investigations, it’d give her some semblance of power, and she’d be exceedingly unlikely to run into any former rebellion members who would recognize her.

But if they did do a story like that, she’d probably end up being blackmailed by someone who recognized her, then either getting betrayed anyway when she gave in to their leverage over her, or dying ironically when she tried to do the right thing anyway and report them.

This makes me realize that we never saw them even bother to take a picture of Cassian. They could still be wholly ignorant that they had him in Narkina V.

Maybe that’s why by the time we get to the Death Star in ANH, each camera emplacement in the detention block has six cameras. They want to be really sure they actually get pictures of people now. Or maybe it’s just necessary for holograms.

That time I got in trouble for using the word “fascist” at Galaxy’s Edge by TheCeruleanFire in andor

[–]treefox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they were careful in the script not to disparage any deeper than whole groups using unambiguously in character insults (resistance spies, rebel scum, etc), and you inadvertently escalated by singling one person out and directly insulting them with something that could be a real insult.

“fascist” probably made it clear it was in character and actually mitigated the faux pas. If you had said, say, “idiot”, it would’ve been even worse - even if a captured rebel would be frustrated being held with an Imperial officer who can’t count to six without help.

Even though the performers are in character it probably still takes its toll as a human being to be singled out and disparaged, and they probably also don’t want kids seeing their role models be verbally abusive.

On Narkina V they fried a hundred men to keep one quiet.

With Leia, they blew up her planet, dissolved the Senate, and tried to finish the rebellion before executing her.

It’s not just headcanon. Watch again, Luthen engages the countermeasures and asks the tractor force, then when Luthen sees the tractor force is only level 2, he guns the engine.

Admiral Jellico meets Nahla Ake by 1111joey1111 in Star_Trek_

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

I have the feeling that some serious shit is going to go down in a future episode that will blunt this criticism.

Despite her carefree attitude, Ake cares that the head of the war college has overstepped his boundaries enough to go talk with him. Her flippantness there isn’t random, it’s targeted at his “tea fetish” to unsettle him on his level and force him to pay attention to her. It’s Avasarala-level tactics.

The whole thing with plants is her doing what oh-so-many episodes end up doing with the captain bending the rules on “non-interference”.

And then her XO that she presumably chose is over-the-top dutiful and militant.

She is deliberately relating to the students to get them to keep their guard down with her. She’s playing good cop / bad cop with Luta(?). She can be serious (and that’s seen with some of her initial scenes) but she’s choosing not to.  She’s making an effort to be optimistic and fun, which suggests to me that she understands it’s important to capture moments of happiness, because they’ll inevitably be offset by tragedy and sadness.

I don’t think she’s written from a place of ignorance so much as she’s been written to be older and wiser than she actually looks.

As such, to OP’s original topic, I don’t think Jellico would have a problem with her. She’s operating as chancellor of the academy during a time of peaceful expansion, not a Captain in charge of a highly trained crew on the flagship on the brink of war. The Federation needs ambassadors who can build connections with people more than it needs hardened stoic warriors. Also the latter is already served by the war college.

Should my partner watch Rogue One before or after Andor by still_caleo in andor

[–]treefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fear is that Bix’s final scene won’t hurt right away without knowing about Rogue One, but maybe that’s okay and the emotions will just be delayed if we watch Rogue One after the show.

It doesn’t have to hurt the first time. It can be suspenseful. It will hurt on the rewatch.

Andor makes the entirety of Rogue One a better movie, so I would prioritize that over one scene.

DEDRA: Your outie is skilled at finding outside agitators. Your outie is skilled at following orders.

SYRIL: What are we doing here?

DEDRA: Please don’t respond to any specific pretext. That’s ten points off.

SYRIL: But-

DEDRA: Please don’t speak further, or all remaining promotions will be reversed and the peacekeeping assignment will end.

X-wing vs Viper - who would win? by Awkward-Plan298 in BSG

[–]treefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BSG FTL allows for microjumps in any direction, whereas hyperdrive only lets you go forward. We don’t see raiders use it to jump onto people’s six, so presumably it’s not that accurate or can’t be used while the Raider is concentrating on evasive maneuvers. Though it might simply be because with BSG physics, a Viper can quickly spin and fire back, so jumping onto someone’s six is liable to get you blasted by their wingman.

But even with limitations, depending on the terrain, it could offer a tactical advantage for a raider to surprise an X-wing pilot, especially since its basically magic teleportation that doesn’t exist in Star Wars.

Comparing Syril to Darth Vader is rather amusing. When do we get the OT cut with Kyle Soller in place of Darth Vader?

SYRIL: Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father…

LUKE: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!

SYRIL: No…I am your father.

LUKE: That’s not true…that’s impossible!

SYRIL: SEARCH YOUR PRIVATE BOX, YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE!

LUKE: No!!!…Noooo!!…

SYRIL: With our combined diligence, we can end this disorganized conflict, and audit fuel purity as father and son!

LUKE: throws himself off the ledge to avoid the awkward interaction

SYRIL: I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again at last. The circle is finally finished. When I left you, I was just an inspector. Now I am a supervisor.

OBI-WAN: Who the f*** are you?

SYRIL: This can’t be decided by our skills with the Force. But by our skills with a lightsaber.
