Wow, those are really neat. I'm liking these designs more and more.

 

[Mudd]

Gotta love that mid-century modern Saarinen future in image #23.

You've gotta love chairs that come in two colors: NyQuil and NyQuil(the other color).

 

[Belz...]

NyQuil and Tylenol.

I seem to remember the NyQuil colors being green and blue in the 70's, but I could be imagining it.

 

[DaveyNY]

VICK'S VapoCOOL is the bluish one.

Walmart's version is blue also.

Looks like Christmas.

Yeah, those guys are the original Angry Smurf's.

1) You gonna share a screencap of that private conversation, or do you only share things told to you in confidence when it means you get to insult people whose TV shows you don't like?

It isn't private, you can ask him the same question and get the same answer.

2) How the fuck would Doug Drexler know? He didn't work on PIC S1.

3) The showrunner for PIC S1 was Michael Chabon. The showrunner for SNW is Akiva Goldsman. They're not "the same people."

The FX industry is pretty small, and people talk. Why would Drexler lie?

To be clear, it's not Drexler I'm accusing of lying.

Ok I’ll bite. Who told drexler no one would notice ? An fx person, a producer, writer, director ?

Got any proof I'm lying. Ask him yourself, if you don't believe me. He's a pretty nice guy.

He never mentioned a specific name, but I'd guess it was someone working the FX side of production, same as him.

I thought the fact that the copy/paste fleet was rushed in the last week was common knowledge? Why do we have to bother Drexler for something obvious?

Apparently not.

 

[Char Kais]

22 days until the release of Strange New Worlds.

Still, no announcement from Paramount on how Europeans can watch the show.

Not how this works. You're the one making the extraordinary claim; the burden of proof is on you. Prove that Doug Drexler said this to you. Get Doug to post it publicly on his Facebook.

And your claim (that another board member is lying ISN'T extraordinary? I'll ask him, if it will make you happy, but I don't know if/when he'll get back to me.

Because fan "love" for the franchise knows no reasonable bounds. Never miss a chance to disparage your favorite show despite reasonable explanations.
