Why did nobody ever simply snatch Popeye's can of spinach out of his hand before he could slam it down? "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

You were not paying close attention. Olive Oil grabbed the can and rubbed it in his face like Cagney did with the grapefruit. | |||

Just what was really going on at Petticoat Junction and the Shady Rest Hotel that had 3 sisters up in the water tower with their petticoats off? Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

That question was asked in an episode. He said he was on his third boat. He built them then dismantled them. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

True Story: My Mom wouldn't let us watch that show because there were unmarried women and unmarried men living on the same "deserted isle". Wasn't proper. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I wasn't aware of that. However, this brings up another unanswered question. Why would he be so stupid as to do that? | |||

They showed Professor recharging them by using some bicycle powered generator or something. My question is, on The A-Team, the team got kidnapped or held hostage about every other episode (if not more frequently). Why didn't they ever steal Mr T's gold? Really, the bad guys were running a $10,000 con, yet Mr T was wearing about 3 times that amount in gold. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

But Gilligan and The Skipper were both seamen.
And almost always in a workshop full of tools, as well as materials for an improvised armored vehicle or other weapons to break out. | |||

He's built multiple boats in his basement. The big mystery is how he gets them out. He's never said he dismantles them. | |||

And we know at least one of them was operational after he built it. It showed up with dead bodies on it. ------------------------------ "They who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin "So this is how liberty dies; with thunderous applause." - Senator Amidala (Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith) | |||

In DS9, some of the crew members go back in time to the "Trouble with Tribbles" TOS episode. One of the characters comments on the different looking Klingons and Worf says something along the lines of "We do not talk about that." | |||

This was addressed in an episode of Enterprise. It was the result of an experiment to create Klingon augments by crossing them with human augment DNA. I believe it was a 2 part episode and starred Brent Spiner as Erik Soong. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

How did Florida Evans commute to work each day when she lived in Chicago and her boss (Maude) lived in upstate New York? | |||

they addressed that in the Next Generation Technical Manual, supposedly a point to point transport used a lot more energy and was more difficult to do. That said it was probably just for production reasons. | |||

How was the Lone Ranger able to draw and shoot guns out of peoples hands in a fraction of a second and without aiming? During emergencies when do action heroes have the time to go to the bathroom and eat and drink? Do medical examiners, lawyers, judges, authors, security personnel, private detectives, etc, pursue and interrogate criminals and actively solve crimes on a weekly basis? No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||
