...you read The Martian over Christmas break and your first thought is, "It's just like SSSS! Decisive female captain, big, stoic, hard-to-understand foreign guy, cute little female (software) engineer with mad skillz, secretly soft-hearted egomaniac, incredible technology, friendship, self-sacrifice, and lots of black humor... and it's all about finding a sixth member of the crew!"Your second thought is, "Da-aamn, NASA really plans ahead carefully for dangerous missions like this and allots plenty of resources. What's wrong with the Stingy Quartet -- do they truly not care if their crew lives or dies?"Let me add that "The Martian" is awesome. It would particularly appeal to the SSSS readership, not just for the qualities listed above, but because it's basically all about engineering survival solutions in the most threatening circumstances. (I'm lookin' at you, inhabiters of the weapons, uniform, and agriculture threads, especially...)
You pay a visit to the thrift store and walk out with a sweater you weren't intending to buy because it had selburoses on it.
... when you begin to translate the first pages for a teenager next to you who have some difficulties with English vocabulary.
which reminds me, if I have time in the next two weeks, I'd like to get the comic's transcription to text format started (to make any future translations easier)
When you spend time putting together photosets of Dramatic Moments instead of doing... literally any of the other stuff you're supposed to be doing....
The enterity of Sigur Ros and Jonsi's careers suddenly has become what you listen to when you re-readIn fact, it has become the soundtrack of SSSS and every character is quickly assigned a theme, right down to Bosse
Sigur Rós is so great as an atmospheric soundtrack. Of course I'm very curious about Bosse's theme now
