Fringe s3e19 “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide”
Lance Reddick looked like he had a great time filming that episode. RIP
RIP Lance Reddick 💐
He was the best concierge I’ve ever seen :/
I’ve been meaning to check out Fringe for over a decade now.
The pilot was jaw dropping… in more than one definition of the words
Each season goes in very different directions. Totally worth it. Walter Bishop is one of the best characters of any sci-fi.
It’s on Hulu or otherwise.
John Noble is such a great actor.
It’s a same he often gets typecast as the bad guy. Don’t get me wrong, he’s AMAZING at cheering the scenery and badguy-monologuing, but Walter Bishop is the prime example that he’s also great at silly but well intentioned characters (not talking about OG Walter or Walternate tho)
Dude’s got range. Just don’t ask him to eat cherry tomatoes.
Oh, i disagree! Moar tomatos for that man!
Ugh, fine.
He just prefers root beer floats
“I thought you’d be fatter.”
It is literally my favorite show of all time. It is worth checking out.
Such a fuckin funny scene: Lance Reddick tripping balls is great!
I don’t see why he doesn’t just use
For the longest time, i thought this was the actual origin of the trope.
I pictured Checkov in his quarters showing Sulu around, then pointing to a gun on the wall and saying a bit about it. Then Kirk grabs it off the wall to fight an alien later in the episode, because he was near Checkov’s quarters I guess.
I was immensely disappointed when I found out this wasn’t the case.
Obligatory mention that Chekhov wasn’t even part of the cast when Space Seed aired. Must just be a student of history.
“I never forget a face.”
Possibly my least favorite thing about Wrath of Khan is how heavy handed they are with the Moby Dick references.
They’re looking around this incongruous crashed ship, the camera pans past a copy of Moby Dick just as Chekov reads the buckle of the seat belt he’s leaning on. And then Khan spends the rest of the movie unironically quoting Captain Ahab. An allegedly intelligent character compares himself to “guy who sinks his ship, kills his crew and himself over his obsession” and doesn’t see a problem with this.
I’m laughing at the ‘superior intellect.’
Reminds me of Her Story, the detect-em-up game from 2015 where you have to go through clips of several interviews of a murder suspect via keywords. More than once they call out their inspirations in classic literature by name and even have her sing a relevant folk song in its entirety. Apparently this woman whipped out an acoustic guitar and sang an entire folk song during a police interview about the murder of her husband.
If you’re working on a story, don’t do that. Allusion is one thing, grabbing the audience by the throat and shouting “BY THE WAY, THIS STORY IS LIKE KING LEAR. YOU KNOW, SHAKESPEARE’S KING LEAR? THE PLAY? THIS PART OF MY STORY IS LIKE KING LEAR. MAKE SURE YOU’VE READ IT.” is quite another.
Reminds me of MST3K on Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
Bold of you to assume that he was not aware and simply pushed forward regardless, like a dick. I haven’t read the book or know what’s cannon here, just saying that I don’t know but that might be a possibility:-P.
Alternatively, more to support your own point, there is a difference between “intelligence” as in raw processing power + memory retainment , vs. wisdom, borne from self reflection and the willingness to encounter unpleasant answers (and subsequently do something about it).
Like Khan tried to steal Kirk’s ship - he knew full well that he deserved death for his mutinous actions, and was spared that fate only by Kirk’s sense of compassion.
Good response, one comment: Khan and his people were not crew and so couldn’t commit mutiny on þe Enterprise. Some definitions of þe term are more vague, but most specify “revolt against superiors.” Britanica’s is:
any overt act of defiance or attack upon military (including naval) authority by two or more persons subject to such authority.
You could argue everyone on board a ship is “subject to” þe captain’s auþority, but usually you differentiate crimes between crew and passengers even if it’s þe same crime. Khan was a passenger.
R.I.P.
