[QUOTE=Banner;4691170]In Disney's Treasure Planet and Pixar's Coco, they gave one of the main character a facial mole. Why? These are animated characters, why give them something that most people pay to get removed?[/QUOTE]
Gives their faces character.

Kind of like Marilyn Monroe or Cindy Crawford.

[QUOTE=Kirby101;4691540]Big open areas in spaceships. Seems a very bad use of resources.[/QUOTE]
And the area inside usually seems much larger than the exterior dimensions of the space craft could contain. They are sort of like outer space versions of a Tardis.

I really liked the first four seasons of Roseanne but in the 5th season, it became the Darlene show.
What really annoyed me about those later seasons was the way the adults talked about Darlene being dangerous, like if you crossed her she was going to do something vicious and violent to you. Yet the character never did anything like that. She was just a smart-mouthed kid. The only thing violent she ever did was beat up her younger and much-smaller little brother, which is something that all kids do. There was even one episode where she smarted off to the wrong girl and got the crap beaten out of her.
She was a brat but hardly a serious threat to anyone. Well, except little DJ.

[QUOTE=Alan2099;4548135]Whenever anybody posts the red shirt stuff, I have to remind them that Scott wore a red shirt and he lived longer than Kirk did.[/QUOTE]
Do we know if Scotty was still alive after Picard found Kirk alive and well in the Nexus?

Characters that are supposed to be great writers, but then when you get samples of what they've written it's trite and generic. What confounds me about this is that the whole thing is being written by a writer who needs to be good enough to get a job as a writer for a movie or TV show (not an easy job to land), yet doesn't seem able to come up with something good for the character that's supposed to be a great writer.

For me it's just distracting. It's not like they need it to stand out, at least not in the two examples mentioned; a cat woman and a human boy amongst skeletons.

The movie only came out to years after the episode so I'd assume he was still alive and well then.

More gold shirts died than red shirts. People just don't notice them as much.

[QUOTE=Osiris-Rex;4613496]The 555 number is so people don't dial a real number and bother someone with that number. It would be all but impossible for the filmmaker to verify the number wasn't an actual number. So the phone companies set
aside the 555 just so filmmakers would have a fake number they could use in their movies.[/QUOTE]
Not sure if wholly accurate but I heard this started because of Jenny and 867-5309.

That song came out in 1982. They were using 555 numbers well before that. I remember the Brady Bunch using one in the early 70s.

Children and bicycles. The children arrive at their destination and drop or throw their bikes down with heedless force.
When I was a child my bike was very close to being a treasured thing. It was my means of independent transport, I never tossed it on the ground so carelessly, and I never knew anyone else whom did either.
Just asked my wife, same story. She and her friends were always careful with their bicycles. And if they had to be laid on the ground, they were lowered slowly and the peddles were turned just so, as to prevent damage to the chain or anything else.

Agreed, we would never let our bikes fall.

Haha, so true. Imagine if we were doing the same with cars, trashing it into a tree instead of parking it in front of our homes just cause we are in a hurry.

Not a movie but the tv show Agents of Shield. There was a scene in the first couple of episodes. Not sure which one it is. Where they are looking at the wall with all the stars that honored dead shield agents. and they said there was for Bucky. That bugged the hell out of me.
And in Star Terk 6 the Klingons have purple blood. But in Ds9 when Sisko and Martok were cutting themselves to prove they are not changelings Martok has red blood.
