  1. I’ve said it before but everyone in the alien universe acts in the most foolish and dumb no matter the education level, work background etc. The Kirsh “the scientific method is a method not a suggestion box” had my wife and I laughing and commenting “no one in this universe has ever exhibited a working knowledge of it!” And I added “well Newt maybe” Good episode but sheesh so many characters drive me crazy! [emoji1787]
  2. So I wondered which it was doing. Which I originally mentioned it was a man interesting take. Additionally we commented was it trying to attack or protect Zaverni? And then it called to the Xeno for a fight… It’s gonna be real interesting to see how it inserts itself(pun intended) going forward
  3. Teng gives off some creepy synth vibes as well, he for sure was a weirdo. I remember Ridley Scott talking about cutting th e romance plot out of Alien between Dallas and Ripley because he didn’t want it interfering with the suspense and horror. Wonder if Hawley put it in here to switch it up. That woulda been almost the same roles, captain and warrant officer (executive officer in A:Earth)
  4. Same. Wife and I watched it. She already knew the spoiler-idea but not the person. Good lord that was cringy
  5. Eyeball squid is an interesting take. So he/she had different experience during the sabotage
  6. Yes, this show Alien:Earth is 2 years before Alien. Basically this failure by Weyland Yutani looks be why they send the Nostromo to investigate the space jockey in LV-426
  7. No, not in canon. There was the Hyperdine corporation had synthetic prosthetics but we never saw it. The non-canon alien vs predator vs terminator further had Hyberdine cyborgs obviously…
  8. It’s all just setting up cloning and the eventual rise of Weyland Yutani’s true market competition Wal-Mart. And then we can get our Alien 5 that Joss Whedon wrote to follow up Alien:Resurrection
  9. It was always populated that they can use some form echolocation since they click and his. We’ve had games and canon comics both show that they have heightened pheromone senses to track prey and their dome skull can detect electrical “aura” of prey and synths. In the games they electroreception like sharks… whcih if applied to this show and Wendy… could cause interference that she was detecting
  10. https://www.fox7austin.com/news/suv-crashes-influencers-mid-food-review-restaurant They made it seem like the car was flying off the highway and then this morning I heard the report that it was just the lady parked and forgot to put it in park… PTSD is when those drunk drivers drive all the way through a 7-11, not when a car barely rolls through a window and just shatters the glass
  11. Yeah the wife and I keep making guesses… is there an engineer head in there or something…
  12. Arcturian poontang?
  13. Solid 2 episode introduction. I like the whole synth, cyborg, hybrid arms race between WT and Prodigy It still drives my wife and I crazy though that in the Aliens future scientific exploration still involves sticking their faces 2 inches from unknown flora/fauna…. Like I don’t even put my face that close when I’m unboxing a birthday cake but these dudes will travel 1000 light years away, find the atmosphere breathable and remove safety gear and stuff their faces right into foreign living creatures personal space… [emoji1787]
  14. Is that a bedroom, kitchen or garage?!? White folks…
  15. What do I know about diamonds? Don’t they come from Antwerp?
  16. As my pops always said about his ‘65 beetle It’s got a 2/55 AC. 2 windows rolled down at 55mph
  17. Fyi when you get tired or getting mowed down in normal warzone, casual warzone and casual resurgence are fun versions that lack the tryhards. It’s a mix of real users and bots so you can have some fun and not get smoked by a streamer Also havoc mode is back and it’s a pretty fun mode.
  18. I’m support side. I make AUSAs look good
  19. My son has been going harder and harder into fishing as he’s gotten older. Now at 13, he’s fishing as much as he can in this north Texas heat. Every extra dollar he collects goes towards gear. I finally joined in on the fun again after not really fishing for the last couple of decades. Picked up a new Abu Garcia baitcaster and immediately remembered how easy it is to backlash that bad boy. Took a minute to dial it in on different lures but I’m back on the fishing “boat” again. But it’s usually more fun to watch him fish
  20. A 924c is for use, carrying or possession of a firearm… or so my non-attorney understanding of it…
  21. There is always semen on everything! At all times
  22. lol sorry wild afternoon and night! We had a bank robbery where the defendant was charged with robbing a bank and a 924c for a gun that he threatened he had in the note. The whole event was: he robbed the bank with a note that said he had a gun. He never brandished it. He gets the money and runs out and in the alley between buildings he runs into a rival gang member. They get in a fight and he pulls the gun out and shoot the dude. Fast forward to trial prep, I pull CCTV footage from the cameras not affiliated with the bank and you can pretty clearly see the pistol bulging in his pants. We also get fbi and atf forensics to separately verify finger prints from the pistol and the magazine AND 2 bullets still in the magazine from the recovered pistol all matched the defendant. Fast forward again to trial: an engineer gets left in the jury panel against my protests. We get a guilty on the robbery because it thankfully wasn’t charged as armed robbery but the 924c gets hung and mistrialed. The jury reason… the engineer was couldn’t agree the concept of circumstantial evidence in practice despite not disagreeing during voir dire. He basically said that without seeing him brandish, hold or own the firearm prior to the alley murder, he couldn’t deduce that the guy did infact have pessessionnif a firearm during the robbery. And that his fingerprints on any ammo and the firearm could have been solely from the murder. Now on its face it isn’t a bad argument but all 11 other jurors were adamantly in opposition to his work (which he had also done a complete flow chart on the white board in the jury room) It was wild, the jury was pissed, we were pissed. I had since added the whole “does anyone watch CSI and expect to have fingerprinting or dna analysis on every piece of evidence?” To our questioning. [emoji1787]
  23. So part of the jury selection is that jurors are not allowed to share personal expertise in deliberations and to usually avoid that both sides will offer strike for cause to avoid that… or if it isn’t a cause, they’ll usually be cut by one side. But engineers… yeah yall can’t help but show your colors. I’ll post a wild engineer mistake we made up in Chicago about 12 years ago when I was working bank robberies, when I have time to type it all out.
  24. Honestly this. We have had a few 30-45 min verdicts on PPP loan frauds involving a lot of Nigerians… But a company ripping off stores, municipalities, cities, and small business owners by hiding percentage point markups?!? Nah that’s just living the American dream of getting rich and what even are contracts?!?
