“What you’re talking about is the theory of Moral Desert Elenor, that we do good things for the rewards.”
“The real question is what do we owe to each other“
“The drinks are on me. Good luck.”
Uhh the genocide happens in the first 5 pages? Like a neighbour gets her head cut off by aliens in the opening scene.
Upgrade by Blake Crouch It’s a nice tight fast paced book. It suffers from the same problem all books about super intelligence have in that the main character just doesn’t feel all that smarter then everyone one else. But you can’t blame Crouch it’s really hard to write someone who’s mind is beyond our own. Martha Wells does a good job of it with Perihelion in Murderbot but their not the MC and we don’t spend time in their head.
“I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!"
Oh yeah but yelling Donna is my favourite Donna. I always love it when a companion doesn’t brook any of the Doctor’s shenanigans.
I know there are people who aren't big fans of Donna 1.0
And they are wrong. I’m not saying everyone doesn’t have a right to their own opinion but Donna is objectively The Best companion since Sara Jane and I’ll duel anyone who says otherwise. Slapping gloves at dawn!
That is one Richard Scarry-Ass car!
Maybe not but the TvTropes wild mass guessing page is huge. Full of people trying to figure out all sorts of stuff. A lot of the fun in the show seems to be figuring out they’ll get from late 2000’s stuff to the end game in 2030.
I loved Elvira and the Party Monsters. I didn’t even know about the others thanks for sending down a rabbit hole.
I don’t know, Friends did the same for pre-9/11 20somethings and I don’t mind watching rewatching the early seasons of that. And look how many memes there are from friends. I think there’s more to it then just the cringe factor of looking back.
My working theory is that puzzle box shows like HIMYM and Lost don’t hold up on rewatching because you get invested in the mystery (who’s the mother - what’s going on with this island) and now you know so the shows kind of lost.
Yeah Friends is just a better show I’m sure. It definitely had a deeper bench on screen. Lisa Kudro is probably the best ‘dumb blonde’ of the last 30 years and that kind of part isn’t easy. Cortney Cox and Matthew Perry were really good comic actors and David Schwimmer is good actor if not a good comic actor. And Jenn Aniston and Matt LeBlanc sure were good looking.
Put that up against any other cast in any other sitcom and I think you’d have to go back to I Love Lucy to find a better one.
