100 billion birds vs (if today) 7 billion humans. They definitely outnumber us.
Whether we could survive them all attacking is a different question. We have a lot of advantages and a lot of weapons which would be effective (if very destructive) including poisons, fuel-air bombs, nuclear weapons if necessary and so forth.
Guns and shotguns, of course, would be ineffective with that number of birds attacking.
Would you like them to create some kind of Kryptonian accent? It's a fairly common trope to have "others," in this case the alien Kryptonians, use a British accent. Many sword and sandal epics had Romans speaking in British accents.
I'd rather they have the Kryptonians speak with a consistent, albeit it British, accent, then have a plethora of different accents.
As I mentioned, its simple. The One Ring fits whomever is wearing it. In the film you can see it shrink to fit Isildur.
As for a "mind of its own": not precisely. But it does have an intelligence. Remember, Gandalf tells Frodo that the Ring wants to return to Sauron. It abandoned Gollum because he would not leave his cave.
The ring always fits whomever is wearing it.
Or he simply sets his story in an historic venue. Just because there are disturbing individuals and scenes in a book or film does not imply that the author(s) approve of them.
Far more likely that they are not transgendered. They are street prostitutes dressing as necessary to do business.
Well, this episode they actually started to dip into the actual detective work needed to find the killer. I'm feeling marginally better.
You could be correct on the number of episodes. I thought I heard one, but could easily have misheard. But even in two, I don't think they can get the actual investigation in understandably.
For me it's not only that they are adding new stuff but ignoring a lot of the important action in the book that allowed them to solve the mystery. Unless they completely change the killer I don't see how they can be lead to him in just one more episode.
Indeed, the boy prostitutes were the entire focus of the killer. We saw quite a bit of both the actual brothels and the street walkers.
I don't recall Mary being Native American but I won't swear it wasn't mentioned. They do seem to be ignoring the main points of Mary's arc, but we do have a least an episode to go.
I not sure that Kreizler championed any particular social justice causes as he championed people.
Yes, I recall Moore being drugged, but that was all.
They are adding a lot to the original story and leaving out a great deal. Finding the killer involved a considerable amount of research and travel.
While the killer being a member of the rich and powerful was certainly part of their considerations, they've taken farther than the book. And I do not recall them sending Stevie undercover as a lure.
I'm also a bit puzzled by the explicit, sexual hijinks of Marcus Isaacson. In the book there was no implication at all that either Isaacson were involved with prostitutes or had lovers. Indeed, the Isaacson's were secondary characters, though I did want to see more of them.
I haven't read the second book yet, and perhaps they are borrowing details from that book in the story.
>>>the way she says 353 days<<<
Except that's how she referred to that time to everyone. She always said 3 hundred and whatever days. To me, that was just the way she marks time, rather than say weeks, months or years.
Season 1 is available on DVD.
Sorry, this 60 year old enjoyed it very much. It's certainly is not great cinema. But it is a fun, entertaining romp which respects the original and the "evolution" of the game fits the game's interest in pulling in new players.
Charlie Heaton plays Jonathan Byers in Stranger Things. I don't recognize any of the others.
Also, regarding your comments about Ph.D.'s. They are also doctors. A PH.D is a doctorate degree. Yes, it can be confusing. If we could go back we should probably use a different title. However, we cannot go back, so a person who holds a Ph.D. is a doctor and deserves to be addressed by that title.
I haven't seen the film in many years. However, IRRC, they are residents. Residents have graduated from Medical School and are M.D.s. As residents, they may enter private practice as physicians. They are doctors and may refer to themselves as doctors.
Indeed it does. The OP claims that 90s kids are keeping up with people (that is fellow high school or college students) they "have no business" keeping up with. So Myy2free2's comment is directly on the OP's point (bizarre and nonsensical as the OP's point is)
Actually, I believe L'Rell explicitly states that they captured Tyler during the Battle of the Binary Stars.
Old topic, but:
Many SF series will postulate that starships do not recognize objects with no active emissions as dangerous or unnatural. Mines would not (at least in some configuration) have active emissions.
So, a ship would only register them as small objects floating in space. Not necessarily common, since space is largely empty, but still possible. Since many SF authors postulate some type of basic shielding to sweep objects away from the path of a ship (since at the speeds a starship, or any space ship, would travel would make collisions with even small objects dangerous, that shielding could cause the detonation of the mines. Of course, the assumption would have to be made that the shield does not extend very far from the ship and/or the effective blast radius of the mine is sufficient to damage a ship triggering it.
