The best part of die hard is when he walks in and asks the guy at the desk where holly is, the guy tells him to use the computer directory, he eventually finds her in it, and says “30th floor” and the guy at the desk says “they’re the only ones left in the building”.

Why make him look it up?

Strange Days is 30 years old! My goodness! I still think it's not a 'good' film, but it is definitely memorable and intriguing. Also Ralph Fiennes is called "Lenny"

cohort(n.)
early 15c., "company of soldiers, band of warriors," from French cohorte (14c.) and directly from Latin cohortem (nominative cohors) "enclosure," with meaning extended to "infantry company" in the Roman army through the notion of "enclosed group, retinue;" from assimilated form of com "with" (see co-) + a root akin to hortus "garden," from PIE *ghr-ti-, from PIE root *gher- (1) "to grasp, enclose."

True, but I'd argue that doesn't count as a payoff because the whole point was that any day now, all of Starfleet would spend all of its time confronting this unimaginable threat

I think First Contact was a half-hearted attempt to remedy this, which really just gave rise to further questions (like, why take this specific approach to destroying Earth? Seems ridiculously over-complicated)

Star Trek is the absolute king of setups that have no payoff. I think every single show has heaps of examples. To take just one example; The Borg! They were meant to be Starfleet's greatest ever enemy but then the writers just sort of forgot about them

Most wasted setup ever

One thing that surprises me whenever I think about it is how many different kinds of archaic human relatives we have discovered in the last 15 years or so

I don't know sorry but there are youtube tutorials on how to open a variety of key fobs, one of them might help you.

Congratulations to the Blue Jays! Now they must be destroyed.

Really hoping they catch the Louvre thieves because I feel like there's at least one more good twist in this thing. Maybe they went to the wrong window and actually wanted to grab a painting. Maybe they are tiresome performance artists
