@@havcola6983 It gets another layer of meaning watching this from Australia since 2020 started in January for us with most of the country being on fire and the smoke was everywhere.
I feel like Paul is really driving the narrative of most of these, the whole “my coworker is a mad scientist” thing is a surprisingly flexible story telling tool.
That moment when you find out that Earth Star Voyager and Space 1999 were both real shows. I thought they were just making it up for a joke, they sounded so old and fake I had to be sure and so I googled it. Sure enough, there they were.
I have been trying to find that name of that sci-fi space show I saw when I was in first grade for 30 years, but my fuzzy first grade bits of memory were so scattered that it foiled any true search attempts. I now know, thanks to Ian and a quick google, it was EarthStar Voyager and I feel like a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I am free! Thank you LRR, you're doing god's work by making obscure references like that.
I’m very happy to see more of Heather on this side of the camera. Everybody is doing a great job with the new format. While I miss and prefer the old longer form hustles, I am very content with the show. Keep up the good work everybody!
I lost it when Graham listed the litany of Paul's sins/inventions. "Psychotropic paint" almost knocked me out with laughter. Literally, like, lack of oxygen, dizziness, inability to correctly stand, all that jazz.
As someone living in the Pacific Northwest, I know all too well how accurate your lines about the smoke are. Today was the first day in three weeks that the air quality number was under 100 here in Spokane. Also, now I feel compelled to watch a Back Street Boys music video to get a reference.
"As much as I don't want to see how you've destroyed our biggest studio..." "Oh, that's not true. You'll DEFINITELY want to see this!" Sometimes comedy is shockingly simple.
“It’s like Christmas… if They had Christmas in Hell.” Heather’s little look to the side, and her ability to summon Soul Eaters and other Eldritch Creatures… does Heather know what Hell is like? Does Heather know that Hell doesn’t have Christmas, and is relishing the lack of respite from Eternal Agony the Damned Spirits suffer? Should I be worried?
I mean look. It's been years. We have to face the fact that dad!Graham is really just Graham. We need to get working on James. He already looks the part. The rewrite would go very smoothly.
Can you do these more often? I love these. I know they take a while to make, but they’re masterpieces. Rewatchable, creative, conflicting characters, subtle character arcs and great jokes & payoffs. Love you guys
-What's that you're chuckling at, me? -Oh, nothing, me. Just Cam's existential pain. -Oh, that? It is rather droll, isn't it, me? Aha ahahaha. -Indeed, me. Ahahaha.
"It's not that we can't leave, it's that we don't want to leave," sums up a lot of people's opinion on Covid right now. I wonder how many lines I can contribute to future-sight. Though you guys do have that Dinosaur Past door. I'm sure Paul could have reverse-engineered it to see the future, come back and warn us in extremely vague lines that only make sense after we're already in the problem.
There was Mister Ballsmotron as well, but he was fairly benevolent, all things considered. He died doing what he loved, so that LRR may live. Unfortunately, Season 1 didn't make it. Nor did Matt's Gamerscore.
Pauls construction looked very similar to a Chihiro arcade computer. Which seems in character with what the moonbase has on hand and pauls modding ability
I live in Atlantic Canada, and we're STILL getting visible haze around here from residual smoke picked up by the Jetstream and rushed all the way across the continent :( Fantastic episode tho; good to see Paul's mad science takes longer than the usual running time of a cH episode to turn dangerous. Oh, and thanks for all the nostalgia references to sci-fi of my youth! (watched ESV on 'the Wonderful World of Disney' first-run, and caught S1999 whenever I could in reruns)
OH MAN SPACE:1999 REFERENCE!.....yeah, weird show. also agree, great to see Heather in front of the camera too. fun vid people, fun vid :) Martin Landauuuu.......
This cH is sure close to home. I’ve been badly wanting to do the Grind for so long, but, I also want to maintain long-term lung health. Advisory returned today : ( Welp, did find the old 8TB ReadyNAS so I guess it’ll be a week of wondering why I’ve kept every file since the late 90s.
so question time: Is anyone else frightened not by Paul's eagerness to build a rail gun, but by the materials he plans to use? Ignoring the reality warping tech he's built for the commodore crew in the past having styrofoam and plywood act as the required conductors seems more terrifying than the end result.
so, I opened Stellaris on my other monitor, and the menu music started up in sync with the stinger and I thought it was still just the video? It was very fitting
I just wanna say I love that Graham is wearing the Humanz shirt from Gorillaz! I’ve also seen him wear his Demon Days shirt in a couple Friday Nights before!
1:55 - Paul, do you want the framing narrative for classic Canadian SF TVmagazine Prisoners of Gravity? Because that's how you get the framing narrative for Prisoners of Gravity. (pause) Proceed.
You noticed that, too. Although I recognized it as Press Play On Tape's "boy band" cover of Comic Bakery: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ZoLphdE7l8.html
