  • Or Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner.

    One of the most influential science fiction monologues was ad libbed, and it’s so much better than the original script.

    Original script:

    “I’ve seen things… seen things you little people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium… I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments… they’ll be gone.”

    Hauer’s monologue:

    “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.”



















  • While I understand your hesitation, I definitely believe there could have been at least five more relevant episodes in Season 2. This season was overall character driven instead of a “planet of the week” format we’ve seen before. So, there could have been some extra episodes that extrapolated on the seasonal Gorn arc, or an Ortegas episode, or a Pelia episode. There’s a lot of potential to provide spanning character and seasonal arcs while delivering episodes from different planets over a 15 episode season.

    I definitely believe 20 episodes is pushing it, but a 12-15 episode season could work if the stories are laid out well.







  • That is good news! However, I have to mention…

    In April, General Motors said it would stop making the Bolts by year end to focus production on two electric trucks — the GMC Sierra EV and the Chevy Silverado EV — despite the Bolts delivering strong sales.

    Fucking GM always putting all their eggs in their trucks or SUVs. This is how they got into trouble before they went bankrupt in 2009. This aspect of their business model is unsustainable, and drives customers away (like me). Hopefully a wider variety of EV models (sedans GM…plz) will come along with that.
