BIG HEADLINE posted:At least we know a concrete date. Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in early June 1981. I was a month old. That movie played in theaters for a long time. The movie business was rather different back then. I didn't see Raiders for the first time until Dec. '81, and saw it for the fourth time in a theater in the summer of '82.

I like that they've worked in the beginnings of the Kongsberg-Toshiba espionage case into the story. Very nice detail.

comes along bort posted:It's neat they're going for something like that as a plot device rather than SDI. Late Soviet computer systems are kinda interesting because of CoCom forcing them to half reverse engineer what they could steal and half come up with stuff on their own. Agreed. It's subtle, and shows that the writers/producers did a little more than surface research. e: I enjoy the personal computer clones they produced.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I seriously don't see Martha surviving this season. First, Philip convinces her to stay on as Gaad's secretary because he's useless to her in any other capacity, and now she's likely to be reassigned since it's likely the new guy will want his own secretary. Now she's filling out that form and ominously holding the tape recorder like it's leverage. She should just paint a bullseye on her forehead with lipstick. She will disappear soon. Philip has no other reasonable course of action. I have no idea why he agreed to that sham marriage. It had to unravel at some point. I think he knew that it would, and that he'd just deal with the situation when it happened. But he could have stretched the operation further without such a dangerous play. Twee as gently caress posted:Yeah it kind of felt like the warehouse factory, just another scene to showcase that 'Even though she was shot, she's still as badass as ever!' Her fighting methods are all wrong for someone her size. She should be using joint locks and such, using other people's strength against them instead of throwing haymakers. (The ![]()

BIG HEADLINE posted:That being said, I'm wondering if the family's going to get a computer now (for Philip and Elizabeth to brush up on their use), just to have a precious scene where Henry gets all emo that he didn't get a game console. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Me, 1981. ![]() They have a computer or terminal in their travel agency. The prop is a Commodore PET. Maybe it's just a terminal for some travel agent network or some such.

We code-named the Soviet Akula class the Typhoon. It is a ballistic missile sub with two propeller shafts. Most famously, it was used as the basis for the Red October. And there is no record of one ever being lost. Later, they built an attack sub class we code named Akula. Also, THERE WAS NO MUSIC IN ASTROSMASH GODDAMMIT ![]()

BIG HEADLINE posted:But whatever. I actually kind of like the Camaro as a plot device. If anything, it's the last car you'd expect a Soviet sleeper agent to drive because of its decadent capitalist subtext. I'd be more suspicious of a guy talking about how great his loving Yugo is. He's going all James Bond.

Zero One posted:That was all before I was born but... doesn't Congress cut off direct funding for the Contras (what is happening in the show now) first and only after that does North start selling to Iran. The Boland Amendment killed Contra funding by 1984. The arms sales to Iran started in 1985. Bill and Lance had to find alternate funding, you know.
