Atlantis gave him the time to have character growth and become a better person. I like the way he reverts as soon as he’s in the same room as Carter before she gets there full time.

My god, that’s glorious

You’re a transphobe and an asshole. Got it.

You’ve had your shower thoughts, everyone is telling you why you’re wrong. At best your ideas are from the last century. At worst you’re just a troll. We can’t make you get with the times or summon the smallest amount of empathy for other people, but we can shun you for your offensive attitudes.

Again, you’re basing all of this on your opinion of what a woman is.

And you’re wrong. It’s as simple as that.

Why? Because it makes you feel better?

I think they know themselves and what they need better than you do.

Why can’t they just be happy being a male and just wear feminine clothes?

My god, you’re a genius. No trans person has ever tried “just being happy” with how they are. They put themselves through the misery and surgery and social stigmatisation, when all they had to do was “be happy”.

I bet you could solve depression too, if you put your mind to it.

Producer: “Gareth Edwards made an amazing original sci-fi film for £79m, everyone complains about Hollywood being nothing but sequels, prequels, reboots and remakes. What have you got for me?

Screenwriter: “Let’s make another Lord of the Rings”

Producer: “You’re a genius!”

Me: *headdesk

I don’t get it. Who hates Eli?

I’m slightly too young to get away with making this joke honestly, but

You drink the water that comes out of the hot tap?

Counterpoint - if people don’t need to take crappy jobs just to afford food and shelter, those jobs will have to provide better pay and conditions to get employees.

Also, if more people can afford to get further education, you’ll get more doctors and engineers and high skilled workers, because they’ll be able to do the training instead of getting several minimum wage jobs just to support their families.

I’ve said it before - any society that can afford billionaires can afford to feed, clothe, shelter and provide basic medical care to all is members, it’s just choosing not to.

Please delete the following phrase and never use it again

Star Trek TNG comes to mind immediately. I’ll edit if I think of more. Did any of the superhero shows do it?

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

“Gesh”

Or “goose” if I’m being sarcastic.

They’ll never take over from Betamax…

Although one of the guests snarks about how the pyramids were built by “men from Atlantis, perhaps”, and guess who actually built the Stargates themselves…

McKay had an awful lot of character development sitting Atlantis’s run. He was brought into SG-1 to be an unlikeable foil for Carter, the fact you can end up rooting for him a lot of the time says a lot about David Hewlett’s portrayal of him.

Then of course we get Universe and find out what truly unlikeable characters are actually like…

Oboe. Close enough to what I already know, but the double reed would make it an interesting challenge.

If practicality, storage and transport were magically not an issue, then the harp. But I’m temporarily playing a contra-bass clarinet and that thing is a beast, so I’d not pick up large instruments going forward.

1990 to 2010 is 20 years. In film terms, that’s a massive age! That gets you from Back to the Future Part 3, Batman Returns, Jurassic Park, Tremors and The Hunt for Red October through things like GoldenEye (in fact, the entire Brosnan Bond era!) the entire Star Wars prequel trilogy, Leon, The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Swordfish, The Bourne Identity reinventing the action genre, Blade, Fantastic Four, Batman Begins, Iron Man all the way up to Salt, RED and The Expendables. Jesus, a quick Google reminds me that Inception was 2010.

Christ, I feel old now.
