There was an episode of Star Trek TOS where some guy fell in love with an alien gas cloud and Kirk said that a binary gender system was a universal constant, that got a WTF from me the first time I saw it. e: this came up because the alien gas cloud turned out to be a woman Ziv Zulander has a new favorite as of 06:35 on Jul 30, 2017 |

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:There's an American show called "Seventh Heaven" that will never be aired again for similar reasons. The show was long over by the time this came out, but it was a favorite of family/religious networks in reruns. It's okay, here's the only good part of the show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJngfdSj6s4

Inescapable Duck posted:It doesn't help there's a fair few fantasy settings that more or less literally have gypsies or counterparts as a fantasy race. Sci fi, too  Inescapable Duck posted:Weirdly enough, there's a... kind of equivalent/similar stereotype in the US with carnies, apparently. Though they're more a mix of white trash stereotypes and an odd resurgence of the ancient stereotype of entertainment industry workers being somewhere between beggars and prostitutes. The difference is that carnival worker isn't a race

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:Many Asian buildings will omit any floor number which even contains four because of its association with death, just as many Western buildings omit the 13th floor because of bad luck or dad-focused buildings skip the 9th floor because 7 8 9. This also has the added benefit of turning, in this instance, a 13 floor building into a 16 floor building.

A lot of long running shows do stuff like that, not just medical dramas. I remember there was an episode of Star Trek where Miles spent a few (simulated) decades living in a torturous prison where he ended up murdering his cell mate for a scrap of food, and then spent the last years of his sentence in complete isolation. He went all crazy for the one episode, then by the next one it was business as usual.

HopperUK posted:I liked the theory that was floated at some point - maybe in Daredevil? - that gamma radiation will kill a baseline human, but for people with latent mutant genes, it activates them. That's why Matt Murdock got superpowers from having toxic waste in his face, why Peter Parker got powers, but why it can't easily be replicated with just anyone. This is just the plot to resident evil 5 except with less boulder punching

Idiocracy is a movie about how all the poor people are idiots and take in the lowest entertainment in life, and how you, the viewer, are much better than that. Then it finishes with the guy getting chased around by a dildo machine

Vandar posted:The trailers for the new Fantastic Beasts have Newt giving a wand to Jacob from Dumbledore. I'd assume they've retconned how things work and that wand lets him cast (probably limited?) spells because otherwise why bother giving him the wand? No it doesn’t. He doesn’t do anything the whole movie, much like all the other characters. The wand eventually gets used like an unloaded gun, in a pointless scene that does nothing to progress the plot

Gnoman posted:One of the earliest known fanfiction/author disputes involved Don Quixote. After the original novel was published, there were a "sequel" from a different author. Cervantes was peeved enough by this that he sat down and wrote a proper followup (now just added as extra chapters on the end) 10 years after initial publication. Incidentally, this is also why hideo kojima kept on making more metal gear games

The one thing I remember from x-play was a review of some resident evil or something and they were complaining about the fixed camera tank controls, so there was a skit where he was trying to walk into a bathroom but kept bumping into walls as the camera angle changed
