Vader Immortal? I bought the first episode for my Oculus, and after playing it once through to the end, I only enjoy pulling up the lightsaber dojo and testing my skills there now.
Our family whippets could watch TV intently in the 70s and 80s and become engrossed in the experience. My family iggy in the 90s thought a pie baked on a morning cooking segment was meant for him and licked the TV only to discover he'd been bamboozled.
the framerate required for the motion picture effect is different for different animals/species. humans are pretty low at 24fps IIRC, so most animals just see a fast slideshow.
Yeah. My family and I used our dog to keep communication positive. "The dog is leaving" was the cue to reel ourselves in and be mindful of our tone, volume, and body language.
I grew up in an extremely verbally abusive household, and this included a lot of screaming at each other. I had a cat who would get into your face, meow at top volume, and smack your mouth when he'd had enough
My folks had a big shepherd who if she heard fighting, would get up with a heavy sigh and then put on this act where she'd start squealing and wagging her tail and pushing into your lap and just generally being cute as hell, and then when people cheered up, would go and lie back down again.
If you want to be completely mesmerized by a book that is somehow wonderful and utterly awful at the same time, read the very first EU novel in the Star Wars universe. "Splinter of the Mind's Eye".
My only suggestions are pre-Disney continuity. The Thrawn trilogy--Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command. Also, if you like graphic novels, the Dark Horse comics are usually quite good. The Legacy series (130-ish years after Return of the Jedi) was my favorite but it sorta brings in elements introduced in the Clone Wars and Dark Times eras and ties up loose plotlines so I'm unsure what to suggest as a good starting point there.
@op, but Tuvix effectively murdered Tuvok and Nelix. Is ending one life to save two morally right, who knows, but as her ship was in peril Captain Janeway made the necessary decision to have her people back
I agree, but in wartime conditions Janeway needed her dispassionate Tuvok and the Morale Officer Nelix and the needs of the many out weighed the needs of the one (or sort of two in this case). Thatâs the whole point of the conclusion, she wants to defend the life of Tuvix but, due to her position, must put the needs of the crew first. Itâs a great episode
Voyager was not in a war nor was it in immediate peril. Now it's been a long time since I saw the episode but iirc, Tuvix proved to be better at Tuvok and Neelix's jobs than they were. (and neelix is useless anyway) So the "pragmatic" argument is also dubious. Out of universe it had to back to the status quo. In-universe, it's suspect because Tuvok was a very old friend of Janeway's, so was she dispassionate there?
Itâs the position Janeway saw herself in. They werenât on routine deployment in the Alpha Quadrant, they were decades away from home in the Delta. I agree with you that the moral choice was to allow Tuvix to continue but it is the entirety of the situation that âforces her hand.â I put in quotes because perhaps she lent on the situation to enable her to make the choice she wanted. Itâs a great episode
When I was a child we had a dog who did this, only problem was that the couch was against a wall. So his head was tucked away but the rest of this massiv dog was still visible. Worked for him though
Oh yes. I still think that his brain skipped the part to understand the size difference between being a puppy and a grown up doggie. The cats knew this and led him on purpose into situations where he got stuck or just plowed through.

My dog won't look at any sort of digital screen. Not even a glance. It's like they don't exist to her.
Strict666
Pretty sure that's not the first time he's reacted like that to that scene (or just other movies =)
HairyBrit
I thought it was Daleks that were supposed to cause that response.

Is it a scary movie? "Nahh, you'll be fine."

Love that modern tvs and higher frame rates mean dogs can actually watch TV now.

the idea is that old 24fps TV footage looked like slideshows to dogs. Family experience would say otherwise.
minipancho94
the framerate required for the motion picture effect is different for different animals/species. humans are pretty low at 24fps IIRC, so most animals just see a fast slideshow.

thank you, I had no idea this was a thing.

Quit panning to the screen! Just show me the sweet golden boi-o!
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
Dogs are so perceptive to emotional cues. Especially breeds like Goldens.
PootpootUpYourSnoot
The perfect background score is good enough to let doggo realise the terror too
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
Yeah, John Williams is so good other species understand his leitmotifs.
themikep
Makes sense. Music conveys emotion and dogs are pretty socially and emotionally intelligent.

Understandable... Apropos Star Wars. I wanna start reading some Star Wars EU novels. Any recommendations?
chapterhawk101

EmporerDragon
Thrawn if you want the OG cast, Bane if you want force users, Republic Commando if you want troopers, Scoundrels for a good one-shot.
ProfeSSionalRuSSian715
Heir to the Empire Trilogy by Timothy Zahn & Hand of Thrawn duology also by Zahn
Ilovetomakestuffup
so basically every good novel with Thrawn :D

I started reading the comics too on the free online comic website and I thought about the Legacy series already^^

Tuvix didn't do shit. He's not morally responsible that he was born by accident.

The good ol safety of behind the couch.

well, did you see any couch when the poor soldier got slaughtered by vador ? no? that's why

When I was a child we had a dog who did this, only problem was that the couch was against a wall. So his head was tucked away but the rest of this massiv dog was still visible. Worked for him though

If you can'T see it, it can't see you. It's in the rules!

Oh yes. I still think that his brain skipped the part to understand the size difference between being a puppy and a grown up doggie. The cats knew this and led him on purpose into situations where he got stuck or just plowed through.

But still watching
Kingstonboy
Worked for me in the late 60's when I saw the original "The Fly". I thought he really had a fly head, and I overloaded and had to reboot behind the sofa.
StewedTomaters
How does the original compare to the 80's one with Jeff Goldblum? I was in my 20s before I saw it but it still fucking bugged me
Kingstonboy
More suspense, less fly, just a full head bug mask for the most part.
