Wasn't the discovery of the alien(s) coincidental in both movies? The Nostromo was a mining ship that happened to get called aside to check out an alien wreck. I assumed Bishop's programming was just 'if you guys find an alien bring it home no matter what', not that they were specifically sent out there to fetch a beastie.

Apparently you can tell instantly if someone is dead by touching their neck for a second with your fingertips and concentrating. No need to try CPR, no need to check for a pulse elsewhere, no need to even call an ambulance sometimes. Can't find the pulse in the neck? gently caress it, bag em.

There was definitely an episode where Hawkeye was too drunk to operate and had to bolt from the OR to puke outside. He had a row with Radar about it. 'Fallen Idol' I think from season six.

At first the plan was to take Bran south too because he's likable and friendly and would cheer things up and be a useful friend to the princes. Robb was staying to 'rule' and Rickon was staying because he's literally a baby.

Zaphod42 posted:To be fair, there's literally a scene where Foggy goes "All this time you've been telling me you're blind, and that's not true? Its all a lie?" and Matt just kinda stays silent and starts crying. Matt literally responds to 'So you can see?' with 'no, have you listened to anything I've been telling you?' Edit: Things Matt Murdock can't perceive: colour, the sky, anything on a screen (phones, movies, computers), anything written on a chalkboard, print (without touching it). And he can't pretend to be able to see because his eyes don't focus on objects and people would notice that. Think how weird and off-putting it can be when someone has a trick eye and you have to work out which one is looking at you. HopperUK has a new favorite as of 00:39 on May 1, 2015 |

Lemon posted:Back to the Daredevil thing but wouldn't Foggy have been pissed off not because "You can really see!" but, "You had me dragging your rear end across the street and poo poo when you didn't need my help at all". Yeah, that came up too. It was a long and complicated conversation that took up half an entire episode. My irrational irritation with Daredevil is that once again a TV show I like managed to kill off the character I liked best. I swear they know somehow.

Grendels Dad posted:I had to watch Stealing Heaven, an OK movie about a now obscure philosopher from the Middle Ages and his forbidden love affair with a hot redhead. What is irritating about that movie is that it has the single most annoying synthesizer soundtrack. The movie looked nice and had some great shots in places that helped me get over the run-of-the-mill love story, but there is something very jarring about watching Middle Age stuff but hearing music out of some really really really really cheap 80's softcore porn. Though it can't just be the synthesizer, I remember Rutger Hauer doing Middle Age things in movies accompanied by awesome synthesizer soundtracks. Are you thinking of Ladyhawke? That has Rutger Hauer, synthesizers and Middle Age things. I want to love it but goddamn the soundtrack drives me crazy.

Slime posted:The Matrix being run on human brains made into a supercomputer would have been pretty interesting. It would even have provided a big fat reason for Neo to have gotten superpowers. He would have been computer hardware that had started rebelling and messing around with the very simulation it was being forced to run. Just like Agent Smith! Though I guess he's software.

Rewatching Heroes season 2 because I hate myself, I was reasonably pleased by a scene where a character with healing powers cuts himself to test it out, and he does it on the back of his forearm. Instead of slicing up his palm like a jackass. It's the only time anyone in that season does anything half-sensible so it stuck out.

Jerusalem posted:I was watching an episode of Agents of Shield the other day because I'm a dumb person who makes poor life choices. One of the main characters gets stuck in a room with some monsters which start killing all the unnamed extras. Every time the main character was about to get killed more extras would show up and get murdered. The other main characters finally get the door open and the main guy (Fitz) and an extra start to run through the door when the extra gets grabbed and hauled back to be murdered. What was hilarious was that Fitz actually grabs a fire extinguisher, runs back in, attacks the monsters and hauls the extra to safety. The extra is never seen again but I was actually tickled pink that they actually went out of their way to save him (and successfully!) This is because Fitz is best.

oldpainless posted:In Captain America Covil War the heroes have to decide if they should be overseen by the government or stay free. To make their case, the government shows scenes from previous films and the destruction caused. Everyone sits there as battle locations are listed off and footage is shown. It's only when they're shown the last battle and scarlet witch looks away that Cap says "ok that's enough". Well they're pretty much done by thst point so the guy would have shut off the screen within the next few seconds. Cap is supposed to come across as compassionate for wanting to stop this but he waited until like 99% of the presentation. He could have said "that's enough" and the General would have said "yeah I'm done anyway". Everyone knew the battles and what had occurred so if Cap wanted to spare them he should have said something on the first video or before it started and said "we all know what happened. You don't have to show anything". It'd be like the ref in a boxing match standing there as a boxer beats the other one almost to death and when he walks off the ref steps in and says "hey let's break it up now" He broke it up then because they were showing the battle where her brother died.

BioEnchanted posted:Finally getting around to Jessica Jones (Just watched "A Sandwich Saved Me" so not that far in) but I've realised Kilgrave has a weakness beyond the chemical one that I'm surprised noone thought to use - he needs to speak to you directly to control you. Send a deaf guy after him. Find a deaf assassin online or something, or see if Daredevil has a handicapable friend, and sick them on him. He can't control someone who can't hear his voice. I'm not sure this is true. The way his power works is that he infects you with a virus that then makes you compliant to his wishes. I think he could control you if he could convey to you what he wanted by gesture too.

You're supposed to think the whole situation is hosed up and the people doing it are evil. It's baked into the whole concept.

muscles like this! posted:The biggest problem with Dollhouse as a show is that Eliza Dushku is the worst actor on the show and everyone else acts circles around her. Which is an issue when everyone constantly fawns over how great her character is. Yeah this is the biggest issue by a long shot. Fran Kranz is a loving revelation and I'm so glad he's going to be in the upcoming Dark Tower movie.

Sure, in the first couple of episodes it's easy to see the dollhouse as bad guys, but by the end they're utterly established as the good guys whom we should have sympathy for. Yes, it changes over the course of the show, as they also start to realise that what they've been doing is evil and that their tech should never have existed. It develops.

She probably wasn't drinking heavily the whole time she was with him, was she? I assumed it was just constant exposure plus superpowers or something. The fact is, we don't really know when she broke his control. She might have already been out of his control when she killed that woman, and just did it because by that point, going away in your own head and just doing whatever he says without engaging with it is the only way to stay sane. It's not fully explained in the show and I'm not sure it needs to be.

Cowslips Warren posted:Which got us into the punishments in Gilead. Of course there's hangings as the most common form, but in the show there's also poo poo like removing a Handmaid's clitoris and gouging out an eye. My question is, and maybe it was answered or mentioned in the show, but why the gently caress not jump right to a lobotomy? Or perhaps that's step three if you're a Handmaid who loses an eye due to loving up. But with the Martha house slaves, caring for a lobotomized Handmaid would be a LOT easier than keeping an eye on possible escapes all the time. The system takes some time to get smooth, after all, and it'd take less time to keep Handmaids in order if they knew a lobotomy was the punishment right off. I haven't seen it yet (read the book though) but one of those is Biblical, so symbolic in nature to those dickbags. If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out
