This is essentially my qualifier for “good”.

I thought this was about Mercator projection at first.

Easy enough. It’s quite different between film and TV.

In film the director has creative dominance, but the producers do in TV.

I didn’t realize he’s a producer (of TNG?), I know he directed a quite a few episodes.

Duh. Yeah. We don’t want unlucky doctors.

Giant Moa (extinct).

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Admittedly I had assumed that “mosquitos” was referring to just the malaria distributing ones… which was a pretty big assumption on my part.

When I said “wasps” I woefully neglected specificity: introduced (non native) wasps.

Wasps taking a close second.

Meta: when the principal actors become the producers.

When the sexual tension between main characters eventually results in a sexual relationship or they get married.

If it’s Cop apologia, when the cop has to go ‘rogue’ to get ‘justice’.

Just contradicting me isn’t arguing!

Slightly off topic, but 'round 'ere (NZ) there’s a difference between referring to the people/population as ‘Americans’ and sometimes ‘Yanks’ (sorry) and referring to the political entity ‘The US’ or ‘The States’.

Though, the few Americans I know tend to refer to themselves in terms of their state rather than the union anyway, even in another country. E.g. “where are your from?” “I’m from California” or whatever.

A cult leader in NZ who goes by the name Apostle Brian Tamaki looks like a drunk hiding a black eye when wearing his signature tough guy sunglasses.

He’s not cool, and even less so with sunnies.

Yet those same fools go out during daylight under the sun, which can radiation burn your skin in minutes.

No. Worry about your microwaves and wifi and cellular phones!

It’s what the ‘C’ stands for. Internet Relay Cancer.

Everyone likes to cancer with their friends. Call them up on the 'phone to have a cancer.

“This ship… is fucked”.

Ooh yeah, that was a fantastic one.
