 When a gorilla goes through the Stargate, does it automatically know how to speak English?
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo looks for new home for baby gorilla COLORADO SPRINGS (AP) - The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is looking for a new home and surrogate mother for a gorilla whose own mother rejected him. Zoo employees and volunteers have been caring for seven-month-old Umande, but he will need a parent until he's about three or four years old. Previously.

If they did that, then I might consider watching the TV show... until there's a talking monkey, what's the point?
Oh, and if it smokes and wears roller skates, all the better.
Roller skates are too hard to keep lit.

Treat it like you would an uncoordinated leading man who has to do gymnastics... show them moving, but don't show their feet... I'd totally suspend disbelief.
Is there some way I can apply that technique to real life?
Yeah, the whole language thing has always bugged me, too. It gets in the way of my suspension of disbelief. I know story-wise why they do it, but it still bugs me.
I've always agreed with this, and in fact, it's the main reason why I fell out of the habit of watching the show. Well, that and the fact that the last few seasons just lost me. I think, humbly opining, that it would have been far better to work the language barrier issues *into* the story, rather than ignore the issue for the sake of brevity and convenience.
I love how the ssl cert is expired for the Air Force site.
During wartime we should not question the validity of our military's SSL certs. Bring it up again and you're gone to Gitmo. | |
