Henchman 24: Come on! They have one female servicing a large group of males. That implies a species that lays eggs.

Henchman 21: Oh my God, you’re crazy! They’re so obviously mammals!

Henchman 24: Please! She’d be in estrus 24/7 if she didn’t lay eggs.

Henchman 21: Smurfs don’t lay eggs! I won’t tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a fucking beard! They’re mammals!

Not one person said Goldeneye? Wow. The main menu is good of course, but that pause music is legendary.

And now that I’ve had some more time to think: what was up with the modern music this season? It was distracting and took me out of the story every time.

Yeah, the whole discussion about Batel’s combined genetic memories just happened way too quickly. I might have been on board with the explanation, but it really took me out of the episode to see how they rushed through figuring out everything. No time for untangling a mystery, let’s dash off to the next bit.

Looking back, it felt like some of Discovery’s bad habits leaked into SNW this season and I’m a little underwhelmed. Still love the show, but I hope the remaining seasons are better.

Its. No apostrophe unless you’re abbreviating “it is”.

First movie that came to mind was Ghostbusters (2016). So much anger leading up to release only for it to end up not being worth talking about.

“How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?”

More like someone who tweeted a list of states in danger that mistakenly included Alabama, got corrected by the National Weather Service, and drew a marker line rather than admit he made a simple error.

Well that’s a mystery solved. There are road sections here that get foggier than the rest of the area. I’ve wondered about that for years and never would’ve guessed it’s the corn.

Ouch. Haven’t seen it myself, but that ending must’ve been dire.

It’s always a fun surprise to go back to an old cartoon and recognize so many names you didn’t know back then. I see several longtime voice actors like Frank Welker, Mary Kay Bergman, Maurice LaMarche, Cam Clarke, and Jim Cummings, plus some unexpected one-off voices like Phyllis Diller and Ted Turner.
