I just caught last week's episode, and I was wondering what was in the display case behind St. Cloud's sunken lounge. I recognized the eye-on-a-stalk from the trash compactor scene in Star Wars alongside what may be the electronic eye that comes out of Jabba's palace in Jedi, but right next to it there's some irregularly shaped brown thing I couldn't place. I don't suppose anyone can place it? I'm not proud about recognizing the other two, by the way.

I'm guessing it is the head of the Rancor puppet.

Two props from Return of the Jedi and nothing from Empire? You need to sterilize St. Cloud! Sterilize!

Yeah, that was definitely a Rancor head. They showed it at a different angle that makes it a bit more apparent. Going back to check this, I also noticed that you can see Helper's silhouette in the display case at St. Cloud's when he's talking with Watch and Ward. It's the little details like this that I really enjoy.

Billy was outright wrong. St Cloud was wrong in that he said they SAID Nomad was a robot in the episode (which they don't). However, an autonomous space probe is a robot.

Alternately, it's not so much about being "right" or "wrong", but about convincing your trivia opponent that you know more about the subject than they do. Billy's ability to recall all the nouns used for NOMAD completely bowled McCloud over, meaning he didn't need to be correct to win.

Yeah, if we're going by some sort of commonly held definition, there's no way that Dr. Theopolis would count as a robot either, except that Buck must have called him one. Trivia's all about recall of information about the thing itself and not analysis of the thing.

Yeah but the creators know the trivia, they're making fun of themselves a little too. The same way we're all laughing at ourselves when we laugh at the 21s and Billy Quizboys of the show.

LividLiquid posted:I hate you for this, because now I want to see a thing that will never happen. It would be appropriate, given that Rusty has gone full super villain lately. Even Monarch gave his henchmen numbers... Rusty just gave them colour classification. Well, except for Tom, Little Tommy, Thomas, and Tom-Tom.

gently caress it, I'm in for the whole shirt club. I might end up selling some of the shirts I don't like, and it feels good to support the people who make something that gives me so much joy. Plus, gym shirts for the rest of my life!

I just got very excited that Dean with the hair net was one of the Orange County resistance fighters...oh well. Fake Edit: loving Bachman! I hope they use her more than in that scene. Real Edit: I want a pad that durable. Dynamite Dog fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jun 10, 2013 |
