re: Spinoff of Field of Dreams Thread: Thoughts on "The Natural"

I absolutely love the movie, so I was shocked when I finally read the book and read the original ending. I didn’t care for it at all, and it’s one of the very few times where I was glad the filmmakers made a major change from the source material.

Sometimes I wonder if the ending of “Definitely Miami” is one of the origins of the “deal with it” sunglasses meme. Check it out 3:17 into this video.

I remember hearing this song when the episode first aired, and I wondered what it was for nearly twenty years. Then one day I saw “Miami Vice” was airing on some channel, so I started DVRing every episode until I found it. Today, it’s a 5 second Google search, but back then, I was ecstatic to finally find out it was Tommy Shaw’s “Girls With Guns”. Such an 80s sound. :)
Bonus: check out all of the Deloreans at the end.

The ending to “Little Miss Dangerous” had me speechless back when it aired. Network TV wasn’t like this at the time.

“Definitely Miami”, “Little Miss Dangerous”, and “Out Where The Buses Don’t Run” are my three favorite episodes, all with killer endings. I also like the one down in the Everglades because of the use of a forgotten awesome song called “Girls With Guns”. There’s a whole scene where Crockett and Tubbs are just driving along with that song playing in the background.
re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3
Posted by WarDawg on 8/16/25 at 3:01 pm to Fewer Kilometers
That was a fun episode, and reminded me of the original series more than many of the other SNW episodes. Reminiscent of “The Doomsday Machine” (and some of the lines in that episode hit differently now, knowing that Kirk had this in his past).
A few minor thoughts:
* The design of the alien ship seemed more “Avengers” than “Star Trek”. Although, I did like the alien suits.
* For the first time that I’ve noticed, Kirk actually reminded me of Shatner’s Kirk at times. Some of the cadences, emphases, etc. That actor finally “clicked” for me - I can see it now.
* The twist at the end seemed unnecessary - I think I would have preferred if they had left it out. Not everything needs an explanation. I like the “strange” new worlds to sometimes remain “strange”.
* For the second episode in a row, the “victory” seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. I was glued to the action, and then suddenly it was “that’s it? It’s over?”
* Pelia’s quarters and junk cracked me up. She’s not only a hoarder, she lugs her hoard around with her. :)

Pretty good episode. It also reminded me of “Event Horizon” and the old ST episode “Wolf in the Fold”. The fight in Sickbay really caught my attention. And we finally got a “strange new world”.
A few minor nits:
That thing Scotty did near the end happened so fast that I had to back it up a few times to see what happened.
Transporter buffer magic again. Sigh.
Please tell me that thing they stored in the computer is stored as an “X-File”. ??
So, they can just regrow hands and eyes now? Then why was Geordi wearing an oversized hair barette on his face a hundred years later?

What irked me was that they made a big deal in the first season about M’Benga’s terminally ill daughter being held in the transporter buffer for a very long time until he could find a cure. They kept bringing that up in multiple episodes. And in the episode where it flashed back to Chapel and M’Benga being “Captain America super soldiers”, we saw the same approach being used to hold critically wounded patients.
But then, in this episode, they have a patient that needs to be operated on within a day or they’ll die, and Chapel never thinks “let’s put them in the buffer and deal with it later?” They could have thrown in a single line to explain it away, but they didn’t. I don’t expect a lot out of a show, but some internal consistency would be nice.
I did like the episode, despite its flaws. The second episode, though: ooof.

By the numbers:
2 episodes.
0 “strange new worlds.”
2 endings ripped off from previous Star Trek shows.
1 conveniently forgotten technology from season 1: the transporter buffer.

Hyundai acquired Boston Dynamics a while back. Hyundai also built a giant “metaplant” near Savannah and got ten years of tax breaks because they were supposedly bringing in ten thousand jobs. The plant has barely opened and now Hyundai says they’ll automate 40% of the jobs with robots by the end of the year.

re: Chili's Opens a Scranton Branch Finally
Posted by WarDawg on 3/27/25 at 12:45 pm to Mickey Goldmill
Each time I watch it, I pick up something new. The drawing of the Chili’s that’s reminiscent of Pam’s drawing of the office. The last shot showing everyone waving at the camera like the corporate video that Dunder Mifflin made (I would have flown a paper airplane in front of it). Nice work, Chili’s!

The only reason
Hey, remember that you took out our QB for the season in the first half of that game? And how we had to play the entire second half with a QB who hadn’t taken even a single snap in an SEC game the entire season? And we STILL beat you?
But yeah, keep telling yourself “the only reason”’you lost was because your kicker had “the yips.” Whatever, dude - we beat y’all twice.

3 SEC teams made it to the CFP, and half way through, Texas stands alone. The proud SEC, would be shutout of the final 4 but for Texas.
Texas ended our QB’s and punter’s season in the SECCG. It could possibly be argued that the SEC would be shut out of the final 4 BECAUSE of Texas.
We still should have beaten Notre Dame, but didn’t. It happens. But Texas certainty didn’t do us (or the SEC) any favors.

Stockton was 20/32 for 234 yards, 1 TD, and no INTs.
Leonard was 16/24 for 90 yards and 1 TD, no INTs.
If UGA didn't belong in the playoff "because we were playing the backup QB", then what does that say about Notre Dame? Stockton had 2.5X as many yards as the ND QB, and in his first collegiate start at that. The QB wasn't the problem - that game was decided on a couple of really bad turnovers.

I've been cursing the Xfinity stream app the entire game. Has been glitching and freezing like crazy. Except during the commercials, of course. :(

I have “dawg” in my name.
I’m also a native of Georgia, graduated from UGA, and have a doctorate in computer engineering and a bachelors degree in mathematics.
Also, UGA had back-to-back Rhodes scholars in 2023 and 2024. We were the only school in the SEC to have a 2024 Rhodes scholar.
But yeah, keep calling us “idiots” if it takes your mind off getting beaten twice by us in your first year in the SEC…

He played in ONE SEC game this season.
The SEC Championship game.
Came in cold off the bench in a losing game in the second half.
And beat y’all.
Stockton has an SEC championship win.
How many does Texas have again?

I play it as part of the postlude at church during football season during home game weekends and big games. Hearing the Redcoats play that in Sanford is one of my all-time favorite UGA traditions.
Now, if we could get them to play the college band version of the B-52s’ “Roam” as in the Marriott commercials this year…

They were in the SEC.
And ran away.
