Bothers: worries, disturbs, or upsets distracts: prevent (someone) from giving full attention to something --- Quote from: Howard_Casto on April 16, 2018, 01:50:39 pm ---unless there is something wrong with you that'll peak your curiosity --- End quote --- Peak: pointed top of a mountain or ridge pique: stimulate (interest or curiosity). Westworld season 1 was amazing. Stranger Things seasons 1 and 2 both sucked. --- Quote from: pbj on April 18, 2018, 11:36:32 am ---and then you find a demon snake in the woods... --- End quote --- Trashcan, with no explanation how it got there after Will puked it out into a sink. |

--- Quote from: danny_galaga on April 18, 2018, 05:46:39 am ---Did they train to not worry about the kids too much? Let's go look at this alien space ship! Oh now we've had a perfunctory glance let's not investigate it further (what things for our survival might be gained from this ship?) and just head back again! Why did they have to squeeze so much into two episodes? Checking out the ship in a later episode would flesh the story out better and keep the robot a bit of a mystery. Also my partner was very disturbed by the fact this human destroying robot all of a sudden seems to have copped a bump on the head and now loves humans! Even kneeling for the boy. If I was invested in the show I could look past that, but I did find it amusing there was a convenient mountain made of magnesium available, when in nature magnesium exists as an oxide- in other words already 'burnt'. Anyway, that is a minor quibble but it is a tell tale for me that when I notice things like that I am not connecting with the story enough to ignore it. --- End quote --- The ship discovery timing didn't bother me, the kid stumbled upon it accidentally and then rushed back to help his sister. Then they returned and explored it more, even activating it. Regarding the 'killer robot', they didn't know what it was at that time at all or that it even related to their circumstances. I get your point on the convenient magnesium and it's properties, you could chalk that up to an alien planet so potentially different properties. Nitpick the science in science fiction and you're always going to be disappointed. --- Quote from: DaOld Man on April 18, 2018, 07:51:55 am ---Yeah I noticed a few things that just dont add up too. Like the water freezing around Judy. It froze so fast that she couldnt get out in time. It looked like someone flipped a switch and instant cold water. The ship was down in the bottom for quite a while before this happened. If the air temperature dropped fast enough to freeze the water that quick, you would think the people on top would have froze solid. I know they had space aged suits that probably protected them, but nothing on their faces. --- End quote --- I'm with you on this one, I was thinking the same thing when the water started visibly freezing. --- Quote from: DaOld Man on April 18, 2018, 07:51:55 am ---And the chariots: I liked the original design a lot better than these. Four rubber tires and the things arent even 4 wheel drive? Its funny how when they travel through the jungle it looks like the path has been cleared for them. The original chariot had bulldozer threads and looked more like a tank. That baby was made for alien worlds. --- End quote --- Ok, the treads made sense maybe but the rest of the thing was a glass bubble, didn't look very durable! I prefer the new ones at least aesthetically. Not sure where you picked up they weren't AWD, I just assumed they were. --- Quote from: DaOld Man on April 18, 2018, 07:51:55 am ---And my closing shot: Why, pray tell, would you go to an alien world (that can sustain life) without any weapons? Is life on other planets peace loving gun hating hippies also? --- End quote --- They weren't going to an alien world, they were going to an established colony, they crashed on this world. Also it's shown later that they 3D print their weapons. |

I was asking him to explain how something could be 'glaringly distracting' and not bothersome to him. My point being it obviously bothered him, he was just trying to use what he considered a less abrasive description. |

I'll have to check this out just to see what gets the pbj stamp of approval. :cheers: |
