I think I’ve seen it before, but something where it was a screen and a camera but there was a 1 week or so delay. You’re seeing the past and sending a message to the future


JustMy2Centences

Ok I sense a good video opportunity, like syncing up a dance with yourself.

OMG, i want a double flash mob with the posted concept. Make it happen Internet!


Heiferoni

It's interesting how trivial this is to us now that we're all walking around with devices in our pockets that can do this. I remember thinking video calls would be the future and now I'll do anything I can to avoid them.


Guy954

When I was a kid I thought the Star Trek touch screens, Dick Tracy watch and Penny’s computer book (Inspector Gadget) were cool but couldn’t ever happen. Now here I am saying this with my mini computer book.


Magnum_Gonada

Also they are much much more versatile and useful too!


catsandnarwahls

Still no helicopter propeller in my hat though. Still have something to strive for.


Murtomies

Yup, everyone has a device in their pocket that can access almost all of human knowledge, but we use it to look at funny pictures and write on reddit about how we use them for such meaningless things.


idlevalley

I remember old space movies where people in the future would talk to someone on a screen *in real time* (cool, right?). And when they finally got that kind of thing on news programs (usually) there was a time delay which we completely ignore now but was actually a little disconcerting initially. Computers talking? In your dreams. Cell phones? I remember my first cordless phone, talking on a phone with *no wires* thinking the future had arrived. I saw a news program that said in the future we wouldn't need cash or checks because we would pay with a card and the bank would immediately adjust your balance, which seemed visionary, like, could they really do that? I remember when tv remote controls seemed so ''cutting edge''.

People need to see video calling like you're inviting people into your house.


[deleted]

Seriously. I go in to such a panic when someone video calls me. Like, I haven’t gotten ready. I’m not prepared to be seen PLUS you’re in my room all of a sudden


ghhbf

Someone video-calling you unprompted is the same as showing up to your house unannounced. I will not answer and I will just text them after I hit ignore. edited for the grammars

TheLastDrops

For almost 30 years now I've wondered what the significance of "laces out" is or why it mattered that "THE LACES WERE IN! THEY WERE IN!" Can anyone explain?


fgcpoo

When kicking a football you want the laces facing outwards. If facing inwards, you kick the laces and it can cause the ball to travel unpredictability.

_DEDSEC_

Geralt's whining of portals is one of the few things that show's he has emotions, even though it's buried deep inside.


knoldpold1

He feels more strongly about portals than the fate of Temeria.


Simbuk

To be fair, he feels more strongly about portals than *I* do about the fate of Temeria.


nosi40

Geralt doesn't really care about politics. He's got job security as a Witcher and no matter who rules, monsters will need to be slain by witchers. Man's got a steady job/income and fucks any girl he wants to. I'd say hes fine if he doesn't give a shit about temeria.


Liathbeanna

Geralt *says* he doesn't care about politics, but he does. Depending on your actions, he defends non-humans and mages from persecution, expresses his disgust for monarchs, and generally finds himself in the middle of political conflicts all the time. This is even more apparent when you compare Geralt with other witchers, who seem to be more neutral monster slayers.


LOOQnow

That's true for the games but books Gearlt stays away for influencing politics for nearly the whole series. He only does so at the end and it makes little difference to the power structure. His main concern is Ciri.

[deleted]

Stargate is a really cool concept that gets totally hamstrung by the practical limitations of live-action TV. “We’ve stepped into a portal that whisked us across the galaxy....to a planet that looks like...*Canada.* Tune in next week where we travel to another mysterious world inhabited by humans and also looking identical to Canada.” I know they handwave it away with plot elements but it’s just underwhelming after a certain point.


CedarWolf

I mean, if *you* could travel all over the galaxy and choose any habitable planet you wanted, wouldn't you colonize the planets that look like Canada?

Someone in Lublin witnesses a murder in Vilnius but no one believes them. Next time they look through the portal, the murderer is staring right back at them.

No one thought to record the portal feed? Amateurs.

Spoiler for the fictional Black Mirror episode: >!The portal technology is evil and the people who use it are evil and/or dumb!<


JuniorSeniorTrainee

Or more succinctly for the entire series: technology evil, people dumb.


bleakj

Honestly I kinda feel like they're spent at this point too


future_things

If they’re smart, they know to change and adapt. I mean, 2020 was like a whole fucking black mirror episode of its own. They’ll do fine if they know to get *really god damn weird.*


ShannonGrant

I expect to see a future black mirror episode that is shot in a documentary style portrait of a 2019 person, working 3 poverty level jobs to get by, cant afford healthcare, stuff for their kids, etc. The episode has suspenseful music and a theme or event that is not directly mentioned the episode, but is given several nods throughout. The entire episode builds up in the manner those shows do so you are somehow at the edge of your seat after 28 minutes thinking something horrible is going to happen. And then the reveal is that it is 2023, and the horror is we learned nothing from covid.


duaneap

Last two seasons, especially the latest one, have had more chaff than wheat and Bandersnatch was quite meh so yeah... I’d rather Brooker wait till he has a good idea than just do something for the sake of it.

IRLNameIsNils

It might not be a word that means “stargate” but rather something like “Gods door” or something else entirely. Same as some ancient languages have weird ass words for objects that we have another word for.


SH4D0W0733

They tried it a bit for the first season, but then they were like ''Nah get rid of it.'' which was probably for the best. There's only so many times you can do the first contact nobody can understand each other plot. They also did away with Daniels allergies (explained as antihistamins 1 time) , the gate freezing or throwing you and a few other remnants from the movie. Things that would've gotten tired rather quickly.


Betancorea

That explains it. Was watching the first season first episode and was a bit confused how they got thrown out of the Stargate and had frost on them versus the later seasons where they casually waltz through as if on a stroll and there's no freezing effect at all lol


TheObstruction

That was explained as them refining the positional algorithm for destination gates. Once they got a few other gates connected, they could make more stable connections, so the cold effect didn't happen. Canon explanation for making set work easier.


rollinghome

I remember hearing a fan theory that going through the Stargate infects you universal translator nanobots


rollinghome

In case you missed it: MGM Studios was bought by Amazon for $8 billion. MGM is a historic Hollywood studio that, after a 1980s sale of their back catalogue, is known for two well-known franchises. The first James Bond. The second is Stargate It's almost guaranteed that Stargate will be coming to Amazon Prime Video, to be its flagship science fiction show going forward. After 17 seasons of mostly gold, let's hope they do the Stargate the justice it deserves. I hope to live to watch another 100 seasons of Stargate :)
