@GoeyGee@katya_zamo #2 is a common writing tool regardless of what language. Ilyas niece hasn't been mentioned by name in dialogue at all (as far as I'm aware) so saying her name in ep 5, we as an audience wouldn't know who they were talking about.
@spudhawg@GetIntoGate Exactly my point. Wardrobe screwed up all the time. Upside down patches, wrong rank insignia etc
We let that stuff slide because the dialogue is primarily what tells the story.
Maybe you should find another podcast, we're clearly not for you. Bye.
@spudhawg@GetIntoGate 🙄
*sigh* Ok, how about in The Shroud when Jack is a 1 Star General in some scenes and a 2 Star in others? They don't "spoon feed us with dialogue", so are meant to assume he got demoted and promoted between scenes?
@spudhawg@GetIntoGate Right!? Then imagine having a recurring character on your show for 7 years, who's done more eps than some of your main cast, then write a huge 2 parter around their death, show their military funeral service and not once even say their rank out loud during it
@spudhawg@GetIntoGate Googling in 1997 vs 2025 is a very different experience. "We" as an audience don't know by just watching the show.
We don't need it spoon fed, my point is there's dialogue about every one of Carters promotions, O'Neill's, Mitchell's, Sheppard's..... not Fraiser's.
