The human gallbladder is indeed a puzzle!
I haven't been up with RLM or this thread in a while but I was watching a clip of SW Episode II: Attack of the Clones, specifically the Battle of Geonosis part

During the fight, Yoda is presented like some sort of super tactician while all he literally does is to say: "Uh, everyone shoot the ship in front of us" which is like "I'll try spinning, that's a good trick"

Like, thanks Master Jedi, glad we brought you along all the way :rolleyes:

At least Anakin says something useful which ends up with him getting noticed by senpai

Anyway, just wanted to say the Prequels are still dumb and I'm not hearing any revisionist stuff, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

Movie 1: James Franco tries to cure John Lithgow's alzheimers using animal testing on Apes. Little baby Ape Caesar is a primary source for the medicine and gets smarter as he grows older and lives outside of the lab with Franco. But then the experiments backfire and Caesar is put in Draco Malfoy's Ape enclosure, so he breaks free using the alzheimers cure drug to make the other apes smart and they escape into the forest.

Movie 2: turns out the alzheimers drug also kills off 90% of humanity. Apes living in a happy forest society but then they discover humans have moved back into San Francisco and Gary Oldman wants to kill them. One of Caesar's Apes, Koba, was abused in the lab and he sabotages peace efforts by shooting Caesar and blaming the humans, so the Apes steal assault rifles and attack the humans before Caesar kills Koba and stops the attack. War breaks out between Ape and human.

Movie 3. Humans are at war with the Apes. Woody Harrelson kills Caesar's family so Caesar goes off to avenge them but his whole tribe is captured and forced to build a wall because Woody Harrelson went rogue from the army. Surviving humans are losing the ability to speak and are getting dumber from the virus so he wants to kill all the Apes and defend against other humans before it's too late. Apes pull a Great Escape and flee inland, with Caesar dying of his wounds but leaving the Ape society free from human oppression.

Was Bashir never not creepy?

Bashir was very openly the neuro \ special needs coded character (see: Spock/Data (spectrum based), Janeway (BPD, Bipolar, NPD, Generalised Sociopathy etc).

Like there was an ongoing plotline about how his parents illegally made him "Hollywood autistic" so he could be a worthwhile member of society unlike his dad.

And then the other not-hollywood autistic enhanced people refer to themselves as "mutants" while Bashir has the world's most uncomfortable social call with the senior staff where everyone talks about how dangerous genius autists are compared to everyone else.

Lmao at a character that is canonically way stronger, faster, and deadlier than Bashir, who is also almost impossible to kill with multiple redundant organs etc, complaining that someone shouldn't be allowed to join Starfleet because they can immediately say how many matches are on the floor if someone spills a box.

It's funny because besides O'Brien, everyone else at that table has something exceptional about them: Sisko is half human half alien god. Worf is a super strong Klingon with redundant organs. Odo is a shapeshifting alien. Dax is 300 years old with experience to share. And Kira is a straight up guerrilla fighter who under any other circumstances would have been pushed aside for being too radical if it wasn't politically expedient to cooperate with the Bajorans.

But it's Julian and his enhancements that are the exception.

O'Brien is an impostor from an alternative universe, who's pulled the wool over his wife, child, and everyone else but Bashir.

Nah you're mixing up two different episodes. There's the one where imposter Obrien gets gunned down at the end despite being just as real as the actual Obrien.

But the actual Obrien is actually Obrien from the future during the episode where he kept trying to stop the station from exploding, so past Obrien died of radiation poisoning and future Obrien took his place when they resolved the time paradox.
