I rewatched "Tag Sale, You're It!" yesterday and I'm really glad they decided not to have Billy slosh every time he moved his head in his future appearances. It becomes pretty annoying pretty quickly.

I've never even noticed it.

WELP, TIME TO REWATCH THE SERIES!

The detective episode, right?

I just powered through season 4, and it's one of the last episodes of the season. So yeah.

So here's my theory from this episode.

  • Trianna meets The Master, who tells her to leave the compound because Dean's got garbage genetics.
  • Dean, now probably over Trianna, starts looking at other girls, including the one in that colony.
  • This puts Dean into the contact with the other genetically altered people, and puts him where they get the curiflies (or whatever they were called).
  • The curiflies cure the genetic problems the students had, but also inject Dean I believe.

  • Did this actually cure Dean of the problems he would have being cloned?
  • Did the master know this was going to happen (since he could tell Dean's future), and sent Trianna away so that Dean would be in the right place for the cure?

I don't even care about them as a pair or whatever. My point was would those cure-butterflys fix his genes, and then did The Master know. Because that would be cool foreshadowing if so. But then I forgot that Ben said he had good genes except for vision in the Halloween special.

I just powered through season 4 before this started, and remembered The Master saying he had terrible genes, and then the cure butterflies were there to fix bad genes. And the only reason why he was there when the butterflies attacked was because he was chasing a new girl, more or less. I don't give a gently caress about romance parings in a show.

What makes this even more great is that the characters that show up and say 'hey!' are a reference to the music video of the track that was sampled in Firestarter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sFK0-lcjGU. It's the most tenuous, nerdy joke ever and I love it.

The problem is that there's a whole lot of unfortunate implications going on there. She's basically a man hating butch lesbian, right up until Brock shows up to cure her of her lesbianism.

She says in the episode that she hasn't met one she likes yet, or met her standards. I think she had no idea how to flirt, and she's not Brock's type. I think that was her best attempt at being flirty, and it didn't help that he wasn't flirting back.

Maybe this is just a general TV thing, but I wish they had something like the T-Shirt club, but with the episodes. Basically, if you pre-order the bluray for the entire season, you get the episodes as they come out. That way I wouldn't have to worry about paying for cable when I move, but can still watch the episodes just about the time they come out, and get the disk after. I don't want to buy the episodes for $whatever on iTunes and then buy the bluray like I do for all the shows I watch. But if I could do something like $40 for (DRM free?) each episode, and then get the disk mailed instead of a shirt, that would be awesome.

JetsGuy posted:

Wow. You know, I will never understand considering trailers and commercials "spoilers". I get people not wanting the to be spoiled on unofficially released poo poo, but effing commercials? That just seems to be going a little far. Same went for people I used to watch Galactica with who intentionally covered their eyes at the end of the intro theme so they couldn't see the 20 seconds of random shots for episode you're about to see.

Just my personal opinion, not trying to raise a fuss.

Well this is me then, because I looked away from the title screen of BSG because I would rather see the scenes in context, rather than waiting for the scenes I knew were going to happen to happen. For that show I didn't want to know if it was going to be a big epic space battle episode, a government relations episode, a brawl in the crew episode, etc. The point of watching the show was seeing how the story flows, rather than trying to get a glimpse of it and trying to put together what you saw and know something is coming up, and now you're paying more attention to that then the story.

I also personally don't pay attention to previews or commercials, but if I were to be spoiled from a commercial on something I'm sure it would be minor, and I don't get upset about it. I just try to not see them, but don't let it ruin the show/movie for me if I do catch something from them. (Unless it's something to the level of Castaway where the trailer for the movie gives away the ending).

I think the only real difference is that the people who did the intro glimpses in BSG worked on the show so the implied intention there is that they want people to see them before the episode begins proper. Commercials on the other hand aren't always edited together by the people that make the show.

In specifically BSG, I couldn't really say for sure that the people that edited together the intros were the ones who edit the show/write the script, so who knows if they unintentionally let something slip. And if not, there's going to be some scenes that I would be more paying attention for to see when they show up in what context, rather than just watching the episode as it unfolds.

It was just 10 seconds I didn't look at the screen, no big deal. I was going to look at it for the remaining 42 minutes anyways. And I don't like watching advertisements because they're advertisements, so I tend to miss the previews anyways.

I'm going to have to rewatch that scene, but I wonder (just for comedy's sake) if the Revenge Society is squatting in The Monarch's old house. Beginning of the next season he walks in to see them there and tries to kick them out.

Also, where did that Vatred thing come from? I thought I only saw it used online, and up until last night's episodes I didn't think anyone said it in the show.

I can see this too. These guys don't seem to show things for no reason; that little post-credit Revenge Society scene has to be a setup for something, even if it isn't terribly important to the overall plot.

Well it's probably the same place that Phantom Limb kidnapped Billy to, in order to make him preform the surgery. But who knows if it was The Monarch's place all along, or a bit of a retcon if it actually happens.

I also noticed on second watch the vaguely-disguised trope from Prometheus in regards to Dr. Entmann (the tiny guy) getting crushed by the rocking chair because he ran lengthwise to the descending leg, when he could've run sideways or diagonally and lived.

That's not from Prometheus, I've seen cartoons as a child that had that same thing too. Also, Indiana Jones and the boulder (although I guess he would have been trapped in that cave or whatever, it's been a while).

Yup, and it also ruined Cars and Cars 2 for me. But specifically KotH, I just can't stand the characters or the plot from the few episodes I've seen. 90% of the time (I had a GF who watched it), the plot seems to center on "look at these characters be socially awkward or stubborn". Which I guess is Venture Brothers too, but at least it's a sci-fi action setting. KotH is just boring south/midwest or wherever.

Not to mention that when Rusty asks "why did you sell it?", the answer he gets is "why buy the cow when you get the milk for free". That phrase means "don't sell the whole thing if you can give only a part of it at a greater benefit. And Hatred says that he only bought humility. Saint Cloud didn't buy what he intended is what those two characters are telling Rusty, and Saint Cloud thinks he bought the island. That's the only way he could think he could exclude Rusty next year, from preventing him from entering his alleged property.

There was a report about Cuba recently that said that Netflix was going to start there. However, at $8 a month, that was 75% of the average worker's salary in that country. So I can imagine that Rusty spending a few hundred dollars could be a significant boost in income to a country who's primary export could just be sponges and spinach.

EDIT: A third.

Hell, this was my answer, as I never considered he was getting their IDs from the bodies. I just assumed the fire damage was just due to a lifetime of them being killed, not that one death in particular.
