Oh, for sure they made tons of mistakes, I just thought of that one as the most glaringly obvious "framing issue". I've seen all the episodes as aired and as on DVD, with commentary and special features, because I'm a super nerd, and given your pfp and the fact you know how they framed it tells me you know a thing or two yourself!

If I remember correctly, they framed it for wide-screen knowing that in the future it could be put out in other formats than TV, so wanted widescreen from the start. Bts footage shows the framing boxes for tv/wide on the monitors.

I love catching mistakes and weird choices in my shows. For instance: in Firefly, Alan Tudyk is pretending to hold the controls of Serenity because they couldn't have him up in the normal spot for framing reasons.

But yeah, I'm actually rewatching SGA now and their weird focus issues (and let's be honest, terrible backgrounds) are especially bad in season 1.

So tell me, what do you do? It's not quite clear to me...

Those are some very nice wooden bowls. And more!

Like for real. What kind of sealer do you use?

KITT? Is that you in disguise?

How do they handle the science behind everything? Do they try to use modern concepts and technologies and misunderstandings of how those work, or do they hand-wave it as "this is their technology and they will not elaborate because it's basically going to be magic to you" kind of science?

I'm not an educated science-ologist (not to be confused with scienTologist) but I do dabble in quite a lot of the astrophysics, geology, etc, as a 20+year hobby, so space-based science fiction tends to rub me the wrong way when they try explain things using modern concepts, but they have misinterpreted or misrepresented things to "make it work"

Treknobabble is 100% okay for me, it's a technology I don't understand because it's too advanced for me and uses concepts only theorized for now.

Or is it less sciencey focused and more "these are the stories of these peoples" anthology type? Both sound good.

Honestly it sounds fascinating, and from the buried synopsis of a few, I think I'm gonna like it. It's been awhile since I read science fiction, I've been focusing on fantasy lately, specifically Dungeons & Dragons-universe books.

Honestly this just makes everyone want to mock them more.

Deservedly so.

Not gonna lie, I let them do this because on the rare occasion I do use product (usually the free sample variety) I want to know if I like a certain look and how to kind of steer it that way.

Because otherwise Its wasted effort that will be gone in under 15 minutes.

Things like Great Pyrenees, Kuchi, most things with "shepherd" in the name, mastiffs. Breeds like that.

Anecdote time: I have a Pyrenees collie mix, and a small terrier. The Pyrenees protects the terrier when they're outside, mostly from the hawks/owls that like to fly around the fields looking for rodents. But I have gone to check on them before and opened the door just in time to see the Pyrenees barking up a storm chasing off a coyote. I'm confident that a coyote wouldn't be able to get through my fence and attack the terrier before I could grab something and fight/scare it off, but I know with the Big Boye out there I don't have to worry about it (but still do, people tell me I Dan leave them out there for longer periods but I keep pacing by the windows and back door to check on them every minute or so they're out there)

Honestly this looks disgusting even from a childhood point of view.

You drink soda for the meal, and keep the chocolate milk for the dessert.
