Of course a lot of those immigrants are used to making do with much less than your average US citizen, but that’s still quite a good point. Lots of moving parts to the problem...

To be fair, that’s in the context of “we’ve been banging for a while in this rather porn-fantasy type of open relationship, you want to join all of us permanently?” rather than “I’d like to bang you for the very first time with the countenance of Man and God, and— hey, who the hell is that Sassenach bastard, and…
Of course, I wouldn’t stick around to fuck with ‘em. That’s just a depressing fool’s errand.
The biological twist in the early episodes of Season 1 is what really turned me on to this show. I thought it was a really cool, unique take on the vampires and almost served as an “explanation” of sorts of how the legend of vampires could’ve begun — from an ancient plague.
As much as I think I’ve got some neat family members, I think the idea of being ‘stuck’ with a group of people for most of your life based on genetics is kind of fundamentally flawed as a default (kind of like ‘your economic and governmental systems will be determined by a birth-nation lottery’)
There was an interesting family structure presented in The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress (maybe other places as well, but that’s where I first saw it) called a “line marriage”. A married couple brings another person into the marriage, then another of the opposite gender to the third person, then another of the opposite…
So we’re becoming the Culture?
“DO YOU USE FLUXIONS?
Calculons?
It’s gotten a documentary treatment, but I think a more narrative treatment would suit the Bone Wars quite well. Rival scientists trying to dig up and identify as many different dinosaur species as possible for the money and fame. Attempting to torpedo each others careers. It’s great movie material.
Edward Jenner and the cowpox-smallpox link. A good investigative story coupled with the drama of inoculating an 8-year old boy. Plus he was apparently a talented musician, talented surgeon, built hydrogen balloons, published an important paper on the behavior of cuckoos and a seemingly nice guy.
Would be great to get a movie about pioneering women scientists. Ada Lovelace inventing the computer, Marie Curie discovering radiation (movie would probably turn the Curies + Becquerel into some sort of love triangle/threesome, unfortunately), or the oft-neglected Rosalind Franklin (comes with built in drama of…
Discovery of pulsars. You could even call it “Little Green Men”.
Chrisjen is hilarious. She needs to be the show’s potty mouth (well and Amos).
I could actually understand it, if they seemed to know what they were doing, but it is obvious they don’t. Especially with vintage/antique glass, jewelry, and plastic wear. A lot of the stuff in those categories are being let go at really low prices, or in the case of the jewelry very randomly priced. Or games and…
Where’s our millions of dollars?! We put just as much thought into our version of this movie as the “real” writers did.
Not to mention his new job at Oscorp working for Norman Osborne who is also in league with Doc Ock both of whom are the REAL developers of Skynet!
Well, I’d say the Resident Evil series is probably the biggest success (Not good films mind you - just successful in that they apparently made enough money to self-perpetuate for a good long while), but most of the Resident Evil films were directed by Paul W Anderson who also directed Mortal Kombat and wrote the…
You basically described Rat Queens.
