This is why I love the movie Elf. It shows elves making brand-name toys and learning how to build current-gen graphics processors for electronics that get requested.
There you go. Everyone immediately thinks of Red from That 70s Show but this man knows how to act. And he proved it in Year of Hell. He presented a real sense of loss and grievance when talking about his lost family.
Yeah, it’s commonly thought to have something to do with security. Similar to chain of custody for criminal evidence.
Engineering compiles a department report for the captain. The Shift Lead puts the data on a PADD, then gives that PADD to the Chief Engineer. The Chief Engineer signs the data with their command code and notes that it is PADD-1217. That data then becomes locked to that PADD. Someone from Engineering is assigned to take PADD-1217 to the bridge and hand deliver it to the Captain. The Captain receives the PADD, reviews the report, confirms that they are holding PADD-1217, and signs the report with their command code. Someone from Engineering is sent to retrieve the PADD, and re-deliver it to the Chief Engineer. The Chief Engineer confirms the PADD was read and signed by the Captain, confirms it is PADD-1217, and transfers the signed data to the computer core to be logged and archived. The Chief Engineer then confirms all data on the PADD has been transferred and erased, then stores the PADD until it is needed again.
This is why it’s common to see a pile of PADDs on the Captain’s desk. Each department is sending their own secure report on their own PADD.
It is probably the most well-rounded sci-fi ever made. Very good characters, very funny, and the budget kept getting bigger with each season. (Probably should’ve stopped after season 8, the whole Ori plot feels tacked on - it’s still pretty solid, though.)
There are a lot of familiar actors throughout the series, including some from Trek.
You don’t need to watch the original MGM movie, it’s technically set in a different universe. But it is fun. And the events of this movie are explained in the series as needed.
Do make sure you watch the R-rated version of the series pilot (Stargate started off on HBO)
And don’t forget to watch the two TV movies set after the end of the series. One is okay, the other is excellent.
…When you’re done with that, then you can watch Stargate Atlantis which has even better characters!
Go all the way back to the 1950s where the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade had Santa Clause at the end to remind parents to start buying toys for Christmas.
It’s not the latest video, it’s a reupload because that and the whole Jedi Party 5 video got blocked for containing “Here Comes Santa Claus” 😑
I’m glad that Auralnauts can take it on the chin and just crack jokes about it, but I hate how open disregard for Fair Use is defacing artistic works, even if they’re “just” satire.
