Oh
yeah...way back..."Stargate"
The
nuke
Ra
not stating it but realizing that Earth tech had advanced WAY farther
than he could conquer, Ra declared he's sending the bomb back through
the gate in a box of his special metal.
"Which
will result in an explosion 1000 TIMES more powerful and destroy you
all!"
On
review, my response might have been:
"Pfft...ok."
"What?
Did you think all of civilization was still grubbing around on the
Nile or something? That little thing is a tactical atomic bomb.
x1000, it's still not that big, and you'd be setting it off under a
fortified mountain. Humanity would call it an accident and
forget it."
"...though
if I know our government – and I do – they've already reverse
engineered most or all of your gate technology, and they're going to
be mighty PO'd."
That
last bit is not spurious character bluffing, BTW.
Earth
science got the thing to work, had systems to track where probes had
gone, so they probably also figured out how it does it.
That
was another thing about the experience of watching it again –
sitting back and realizing that Earth science got an alien device
properly powered, turned it on, and built an interface that actually
worked.
They
had everything but 1 coordinate and they would have guessed it
eventually.
[12:00
PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe
his bomb improvements would've destroyed technology like an EMP bomb
[12:03
PM]
He
didn't change the bomb...he just packed it in unrefined
nuclear...ore?
It
went from a tiny A bomb to a larger A bomb
Heh
[12:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
It'd
actually be an interesting story from Ra's perspective
[12:56
PM]
What?
The immortal alien running into his biggest mistake?
That
does sound interesting, yes.
What
if it was about the cargo cult passing up the alien?
(something
I've pondered with us and UFOs)
Show
up as a god and pray you can pull off the superior act.
Very
much like "The Man Who Would Be King", I guess
"Back
off, primitives, or I'll fire my... (looks around...picks up juice
box) ...space... box."
[1:31
PM] Mr. Blue:
Even
a Glock with plenty of ammo would be enough to subjugate most people
prior to say 1600
[1:33
PM] Mr. Brown.:
That
is for sure
[1:27
PM] Mr. Brown.:
[1:35
PM]
AKA
"The story of the pizza
delivery guy but with more events, interesting characters, and
not such a sad abrupt ending."
Sorry...not
such an abruptio ending. ;-)
[1:36
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Pizza
guy travels back in time, has a pizza becomes a god
lol
That
would be funny
Somebody
delivering a pizza going back in time
All
he has is the pizza
Gets
natives to eat it
Calls
it the food of the gods
[1:40
PM] Mr. Blue:
Then
they'd eat him
We've
discussed this but i think if any of us went back in time it'd be
very hard for us to survive
At
worst they think you're some kind of witch and hang you
At
best you're merely a foreigner and many would still try to kill you
depending on time/place
Anything
prior to about 1800 and we wouldn't even speak the language right.
Anywhere.
We
would have an odd accent no matter where we went.
We'd
get by in English speaking countries but it'd be like we were
speaking a 2nd language poorly.
Our
general cleanliness and health would probably make us stick out like
aristocrats or nobility...which would leave us vulnerable to mugging
or kidnapping
And
our clothes? Not even sure there.
We
would be wearing colors that people would have never seen before on
man-made items
[1:47
PM] Mr. Brown.:
But
if you have a gun you're set
lol
[1:48
PM] Mr. Blue:
Probably
[1:49
PM] Mr. Brown.:
But
when you think you're gonna die, you need to get rid of that thing
Not
let them get it and make them before their time
[1:50
PM] Mr. Blue:
Just
go back in time and give the glock to, like, the Mayans or something
and
then come back and see what's changed.
Even
just give them the recipe for gunpowder
[1:53
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Watch
how we worry about all this time stuff, and then time travel gets
invented and it all works just like on Bill and Ted
You
can go back in time take people from anywhere, flip them around -
nothing changes
lol
[1:54
PM] Mr. Blue:
lol
yeah
There's
no tangents at all, just do whatever you want
[1:54
PM] Mr. Brown.:
"Man,
gotta pass my history report. Better go bring Hitler back"
Nothing
changes
First
hand accounts on why he did it
Goes
back with knowledge of how to win
Still
loses
Nothing
changes
What
if when you are pulled out of your time you may gain new memories and
such but once you're back to your time it goes away?
Travel
through time, discover all kinds of stuff
Come
back and forget you even traveled in time
Best
part about Bill and Ted is them permanently removing two princesses
from time
Planting
them in their time
[2:13
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
that would be bad.
Everything
they did would have changed history drastically
[3:03
PM]
(catches
up)
Rufus
grabbed the princesses because he knew they were in the band in the
future.
"Bill
and Ted's Appalling Misadventure"
[3:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Bill
& Ted Flush History Down the Toilet"
[3:09
PM]
(presenting
on stage, Adolf posing in front of map) "My man Hilter totally
would have lasted longer and might have held all of Europe for like,
forever, if he hadn't betrayed and attacked the Russia dudes on June
22 1941."
"Was?"
(Churchill
mumbling into mike) "What a Kraut ass...does he really? Ho
ho!"
[3:09
PM] Mr. Blue:
What
should've happened is they go back for Socrates... and then everyone
else doesn't exist.
No
Genghis Khan or Napoleon or Billy the Kid, because they F'd with
Socrates and it caused a tangent
[3:20
PM]
"Bill
and Ted's Bitchin' Butterfly Effect Botch"
[3:23
PM] Mr. Blue:
That's
good
[3:33
PM]
They
ever do a snow post-apocalypse movie? Like Mad Max but in,
like, The Yukon instead of the Australian desert?
"It's
time for another edition of Thunder Rink, eh?"
[3:35
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Not
sure assless chaps would work in that film
[3:35
PM]
(crowd
chants) "31 teams enter...1 team leaves...31 teams enter...1
team leaves..."
[3:35
AM] Mr. Blue:
hehehe
[10:19
AM]
Do
bad guys assure each other with "Dishonest to badness"?
[10:20
AM] Mr. Blue:
heh
[10:21
AM]
"So
easy I'll lie to the Devil about it being hard."
[10:22
AM] Mr. Blue:
“Most
homes have a dead zone” (Ted discussing wifi)
[10:23
AM]
"It's
in that room that never seems to get warm and you won't go in without
reaching around the corner to turn on the lights first."
[10:24
AM] Mr. Blue:
heheh
"Wow
the old McNare place... Never thought they'd get it all cleaned up
after what happened here."
"What
happened?"
"...they
had a lot of cats."
[10:27
AM]
:)
[12:46
PM] Mr. Brown.:
So
ALF is on Prime
watching
it again has ruined it for me
lol
[12:48
PM]
Watched
several episodes, I think.
That
bad, eh?
[12:48
PM] Mr. Blue:
i
don't remember if i liked the show or not
i
think i liked the idea of ALF more than the show itself
[12:49
PM] Mr. Brown.:
so
the first episode is the dad and mother in the garage
where
he has radios and signal tracking equipment setup
suddenly
we are thrust into him picking up a signal no explaination to why he
is in there at all
he
talks to the signal it talks back he cannot understand it
then everything starts shaking
lights
flashing
kids
run in - “what's going on”
ALF
then crashes into the garage not killing any of them just getting
stuck in the roof
they
carry him into the house
WTF
he
wakes up and immediately starts talking English and making recent pop
culture quips
[12:53
PM] Mr. Blue:
lol
[12:53
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Then
the family has a very small discussion and just lets him stay there
[12:53
PM]
(80s
show pitch) "Dad goes into the garage, finds a baggie of
shrooms. Thinks they are his favorite mushroom from the Chinese
restaurant and eats the whole bag."
(producer)
"That's the show?"
"Yeah."
(producer) "Maybe add a puppet."
"Yeah."
I
think one can worry too much about backstory in old sitcoms.
heh
[1:13
PM] Mr. Blue:
Sounds
like everyone that worked on it hated it
[1:18
PM] Mr. Brown.:
yep
[1:23
PM]
Nasty
anecdotes
[1:24
PM] Mr. Blue:
In
an interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Tina
Fey said that her biggest frustration as producer of NBC's 75th
anniversary special was dealing with ALF's "people". Fey
said Fusco would only allow ALF to appear on the show if the
puppeteers were hidden from everyone else. After ALF's cameo
alongside former Family Ties star Michael Gross, ALF
disappeared through a hole in the riser, was stuffed into a case, and
immediately removed from the building.
[1:25
PM] Mr. Brown.:
haha
ALF
the DIVA
I
know there was a cartoon
comics
they
did dumb stuff like his planet has blue grass and and green sky
[1:39
PM] Mr. Blue:
they
really didn't put much thought into any of it
[1:39
PM] Mr. Brown.:
nope
[1:39
PM] Mr. Blue:
like
it makes Mork & Mindy seem like 2001: A Space Odyssey
