Mein Fuhrer! I can walk?
I’ll be safe in my tinfoil hat.
Let the poles flip.
Oh yeah, about Tripler’s 1920’s death ray comment. I’m too tired right now to wack my head on the desk. I’ll do it tomorrow.
from gobear’s link on “meteors”
See! That’s MY idea of a REAL disaster.
Do NOT get me started on that! I suppose, though, that adapting that song was appropriate as neither Diana and Marlyn was the brightest flame in the candelabra.
But could you guys PLEASE take your reasoned discussion of evolution to GD where it belongs? This thread is for complaining about TV (and maybe the Royals since it’s so fun). I’m also having trouble with the need to come to the defense of Nova with the new viewers. I’m COMPLAINING here but it’s not like I haven’t been watching for three decades and anticipating watching for the rest of its run.
How do you know I didn’t already do that in another folded up universe? I have it right here. No, you can’t see it.
Well, sheite, maybe there was a Part II – Nova: just kidding about the end of the world that you missed? Personally, I look forward to the additional cosmic radiation and the useful mutations that should bring.
I’d expect the number of people with superpowers that join to fight evil should go up dramatically.
…never knowing who to cling to…
I really hated the scene with the geologist standing on some rocks staring at some other rocks with a really serious and concerned look on his face.
“What the fuck are you lookin’ at, goddammit?!” I’m screaming at the TV. “Is it that rock over there? Is that what I should be worrying about? Is it the lava flow? It’s the fuckin’ lava flow, isn’t it you wanker?! Why are you looking like someone just cut the mesozoic cheese? Oh christ, it’s an ice age. I fuckin’ knew it. That’s why you have a far away look on your face like a dog taking a shit. Isn’t it?! Well, isn’t it??”
He knows…he just won’t tell anybody. Fuck.
If we can time the lava flows and the ice age just right, perhaps along with some deep core drilling – if you know what I mean – humanity might be saved.
Gee,…(snicker, snicker)… was this episode better than The Methellusa Tree?
Talk about trains sharing the same time/space coordinates!
Never kiss an animal that can lick its own butt.
They probably had to compete to see which one of them would get to do it. “Okay, one, two, three— Dammit, we all chose Rock again!”
We actually play “Rock, Water, Oil” and the rules are simple:
Water gets more funding than Rock, and Oil gets more funding than both.
Have you ever cut into volcanic rock? Bubbles of sulfur dioxide trapped in the rock are broken open and it actually DOES smell like someone farted. Besides that point, though, it was a fine rant and I welcome input from my kindred spirits who yell at the TV.
Yell at the TV?! Are you mad?! Yellowstone is just waiting to blow. Be vewy, vewy quiet, we’we sitting on caldewas
Thanks. I was mildly proud of that one myself. Well aware am I of the stink of volcanic areas, my first acquaintance being Yellowstone way back in the 50s. More recently, we visited The Valley of 10,000 Smokes monument in Katmai. A very sobering place to see, and a graphic picture of the power of volcanic action.
Thank you very much Beagle. I’d completely forgotten about the Yellowstone Supervolcano that’s percolating beneath our feet.
I remember a very sleepless night the first time I heard about that one. It was one of those “Can’t Sleep. Clowns Will Eat Me.” moments.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve handicapped armageddon here in Florida during my lifetime. The things I look for: 1) space objects 2) overdue Yellowstone 3) Canary Islands landslide 4) Sneaking in as a human factor: al Qaeda if they acquire WMDs.
I don’t give any of the three much chance. But, I’m getting pretty old. Sure, you’d be far better off worrying about dental hygene.
