Well, it looks like you all hated me so much that you’ve given me this award for it, and I’m loving every minute of it.
– Louise Fletcher when accepting the Oscar for playing Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
They couldn’t have found a better actress for that role. You could tell she was having a ball with it too.
I hear, like most people who play villains that are easy to hate, she was a real sweetheart in real life.
Conner: “No, they really like Kai Winn.”
T-800: “…I’m calling CPS.”
*T-800
Ah, you’re right.
Example number 1000 why mimetic polyalloy is inferior to a changeling.
Changelings do a little research before copying someone. Not this lazy bullshit that terminators do. Hell Miles didn’t even realize that his husband had been replaced by a changeling and they hung out for weeks.
Well…TBF the T-1000 didn’t exactly have 2 years and an expansive intelligence network to work from. And the only reason John Connor was alive to that point is he had a T-800 protecting him. In the span of a couple hours the T-1000 tracked JC to the arcade and almost turned him into swiss cheese if Model 101 didn’t show up at that exact moment.
I’m sure many of us have seen the director’s cut, or at least the deleted scene after this conversation where the T-1000 goes outside and kills the dog because he won’t stop barking…and finds his real name on the collar.
Interestingly Jenette Goldstein played a minor character in Star Trek Generations.
God I love Louise Fletcher though
You’ve got to love an actor that can do such a good villain.
I read somewhere that’s why Dukat just kept getting more and more obviously evil as the show went on - Marc Alaimo was so charismatic that people were empathising with him too much.
He almost sold the occupation to me. Bajor, a fractured society, technologically stagnant, riddled with inefficiencies, gifted with order, infrastructure, and industrialization from the Cardassian People.
Fascism isn’t so bad right?
I don’t like the character (or any holy rolling bs in my sci fi, for that matter) - BUT - respect to the actress that can pull off that role and Nurse Ratched, because that woman’s thespian skills summon hate in a way that is frankly impressive.
T-800: “Wait, how can she like DS9 when it won’t launch for 2 more years?”
EDIT: I stand corrected, T2 takes place in 1995.
John Connor was conceived in 1984 and he’s at least ten years old during these events.
I looked it up and you’re correct - T2 takes place in 1995. Guess that arcade was just too poor to afford more recent games!
I laughed way more than I should have when I saw a variation of this where the mom was a programmer and the trick was peer code reviews
What she did? Actually reviewed the code?
How do you check for this over a phone call?
Any answer different from LGTM means his parents are dead. You can communicate the code in any way you want, even reading it out loud.
LGTM?
Looks good to me. But nobody uses all those letters when 4 suffice.
