Some tidbits from The On1y One eps 1 and 4.

The scene in episode one where Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian are officially introduced to each other by their parents is actually quite funny.

When children respectfully greet elders they meet for the first time or haven't seen in a while, the elders will respond with guai (乖). It's said to acknowledge their good behavior. iQ's translation of good boy is better than Gaga's behave. Guai can also be used to tell a naughty child to behave, but in this scene, Jiang Tian is obviously being a little shit and purposely misinterpreting Sheng Wang's "call him ge?" as a greeting to an elder and responding with guai. The tone Jiang Tian uses is perfect. It's exactly how we old people say it to kids. 😂

In episode 4, when Gao Tianyang is amazed by Sheng Wang's question answering speed, he says kao (靠), which is actually closer to fuck than iQ's darn it or Gaga's damn.

The pronunciation sounds like cow in English, and a cow is niu (牛) in Mandarin.

Niu is also slang for awesome. So when Gao Tianyang spells out cow and says niu, he is making a pun and saying Sheng Wang is awesome. iQ got the pun part right but messed up the awesome part, and Gaga got the awesome part but left out the pun.

Some background on Sheng Wang's pfp here.

During the fight scene, people watching the series on iQ were confused about who was talking about Sheng Wang's mom because there was no subtitle for what the bully said under his breath. Gaga subtitled it, but only in English. There are no Chinese subs there for some reason.

"Old Ding" (iQ) or "Uncle Ding" (Gaga) = ding lao tou (丁老頭).

This is an example of 丁老頭 😅 The 丁 is the nose.

‘It’s between lovers’

RonToto shippers, we have our own version of Gojo-Geto off JJK0 or the Whisper scene from “Lost in Translation.”

I admit that plot-based voice cancellation is the least favorite trope of mine. But, what is it exactly?

Sometimes, one line can change everything — for the characters as well as the audience. So, often, if that line has to come up early on, it will be cancelled out by some other noise, such as a truck passing or a plane taking off, or, in the case of dream worlds and other special cases, for no obvious reason whatsoever.

After being annoyed trying to find out from the mouth of Sofia Coppola what actually could Bob mean when he whispered something to Charlotte , she had this to say on the film’s 15th anniversary,

Just acknowledging that week meant something to both of them and it affects them going back to their lives. People always ask me what’s said. I always like Bill’s answer: that it’s between lovers – so I’ll leave it at that.”

Or Gojo’s words that made Geto say “You should at least curse me at the end.”

The only thing that was definite and official is that Ron says“thank you” to Toto, courtesy of Crunchyroll.

But Ron’s speech was long and if you look at Toto’s reaction it would be a life-altering moment. This isn’t the simple declaration of comradeship. This is something more intimate thinking that the anime crew knows the implications of these scenes to the viewers. They understand what are we going to say after we watch the scenes unfold. The effects, the way the story will evolve after this arc.

Toto’s pupils are dilated for one. His mouth is a complete O. These appearances are not part of the manga. These are anime exclusive.

What did Sherlock say about dilated pupils?

Irene Adler: Oh, dear God. Look at the poor man. You don't actually think I was interested in you? Why? Because you're the great Sherlock Holmes, the clever detective in the funny hat?

Sherlock Holmes: No... because I took your pulse: elevated; your pupils: dilated. I imagine John Watson thinks love's a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive. When we first met, you told me that disguise is always a self-portrait; how true of you. The combination to your safe: your measurements - but this… [taking her cell phone] ... this is far more intimate. This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head.

How about the scientific side of it :

Why Eyes Dilate: Increased Oxytocin

Oxytocin is the warm and fuzzy love hormone released after intimate connection. In empathic, healthy people (i.e. not psychopaths), oxytocin gets released after a hug, a sweet conversation, seeing a baby, or connecting strongly with someone. When oxytocin releases, pupils often dilate too.

The censored dialogue might irritate me along with the non-announcement of season 3. But, I still keep optimistic bc for the meantime we have these chapters animated. It is in our power to reinterpret it through fan fiction and fan arts. I just hope that this is not the end of interpreting Akira Amano’s work to our TV or handy screens.

this episode of snw i’m watching features practically every crew member aboard pike’s enterprise calling jim “james” and unfortunately the only thing i can think of is the james kirk clone in price of the phoenix 😭😭

[miss0atae]

I found it fascinating that they translated everything in the episode except for the "Mars' diary" part and then when the trailer for the last episode was rolling you could have again the translation.

It's probably going to be fixed later, but I really tried to guess what was going on and failed miserably. 😂 It shows how easily spoiled we are when they give us the subs. It makes you think you've learned a thing or two, but really you know nothing.

Well, it can be a nice incentive to start learning a new language seriously.

Re: many of the various about the Gorn or listing SNW's handling of the Gorn as one of its major problems.

Perception not matching reality, what is/is not a monster is a huge theme throughout SNW.

Ghost of Illyria – Those light monsters didn’t murder the Illyrians, they are the Illyrians and were trying to save Pike and Spock all along. Everyone (except Una ofc) learns a lesson that Illyrians can’t be lumped in with the Augments and need greater understanding Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach – Turns out that nice lovely civilization is literally torturing children. The terrorists are actually trying to save those children. The Serene Squall – Surprise the counselor is a pirate Ad Astra Per Aspera – Continues with the Illyrians deserve understanding theme. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow – That helpful reporter is actually a Romulan. Even notorious tyrant and mass murderer Khan Noonien Singh was once a scared child. Lost in Translation – Starfleet is the monster, accidentally torturing and killing a life form they didn't know existed. Under the Clock of War – Turns out the lovely ship’s doctor is actually the Butcher of J’Gal and capable of murdering someone in cold blood. War can make a monster of anyone.

Yet so many people seem to think they’re not going to pull something similar with the Gorn? Even though the show has taken time to establish that the Gorn are intelligent and have a religion?

The thing about the Gorn is that people have died - La’an’s family, Hemmer, some other members of the Enterprise crew, nearly the entire crew of the Cayuga, multiple colonies - and possibly Marie will be added to that list before the two-parter is done. That creates an environment where it’s understandable that the SNW characters would not want to have their perception that the Gorn are monsters challenged, because the harm they have caused is so personal.

It creates a really interesting conflict for the crew, because how do you find understanding, how to you fight the will for revenge, when there’s been so much pain?

I could be wrong about this being the route the SNW writers are going down, but I’m really excited to see if they do.

Posting this as a response to several earlier confessions.

I was 19 or so and relatively newly broken up with my first girlfriend. I had a girlfriend from a really young age for many, many years when I was at school. I was kind of single and then I started experiencing wild things. Among other things, I went to Valentino's.  I used to deliver drinks in the VIP area and was already a bird of paradise back then with shaved eyebrows, make-up and a naked torso, so I was able to work there. And then I met a - young people would say MILF - let's say she was my age now, about 40, for me she was old, I was 19. And I thought she was really hot, I was single and after work she said: Well, what are you up to, will you come to my place? I said, all right, and off I went in her Porsche. We then drove to her big house in a rich neighborhood and she said to me: Will you stay with me for a few days? I have three days' vacation. I thought, ey, it's Friday, I have to go to school on Monday, I was in the middle of my A-levels.  And she was like, whatever. I was like: I don't have any clothes: she was like: I'll buy you everything, tomorrow is Saturday, we can go shopping. And then I spent three days with her and had the time of my life. And then she said to me: I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I was like: What do you do for a living? She said: Well, if you had booked me, it would have been a really expensive long weekend for you. That means I was with a prostitute without knowing it. She then told me where she worked, practically in a luxury brothel and because she was older, she was the madam, so to speak. 10 years or so later, I saw her again at some party. She recognized me, I recognized her, we passed each other and gave each other a professional nod and then went our separate ways.

I feel like I need to address this kinda as I know my post may give off a vibe despite having most say how I feel but I do really like Tremolo. Like he's out right my favorite character when I spoke about a top 5 with the friend group. Now his problematic behavior doesn't phase me at all it's more the fact that I've seen some people kind of defend it or ignore it to ship him w the girls (which is sorta iffy to me plot wise but fandoms will always hop onto ships if the show teases it) besides the girl bs, Tremolo is the best to me because it's refreshing to see a character with all these faults and it's not like they're trying to hide it. It's not only the faults but more the brother complex stuff as he is willing to do anything for Phaser. It was the more kind of selflessness to the actions even if Phaser doesn't deserve it for his actions. Not towards Tremolo but the plot overall. I like Phaser too but I am upset for a lack of any punishment towards his actions thou I'm aware it's unlikely because he's gained a lot of popularity amongs jp fans and I'd like to see Space Dragon lore as im so interested in it.

I love how Christopher Pike was willing to blow up the Federation's shiny new mining station based solely on the word of Uhura and some funky brain scans. what I wouldn't give to hear that conversation between Pike and Admiral April.

“so Ensign Uhura said these extra-dimensional beings had… attached themselves to the deuterium somehow?”

“Yes. And the automated refining process was killing them en masse.”

“so you destroyed the entire station.”

“Yes.”

“And you didn't try, say, dismantling the machinery aboard the station itself? disconnecting the reactor? literally anything else?”

“Uh…”

“Can we speak to these hypothetical deuterium ghosts? have you received any further communication from them?”

“Well, Ensign Uhura said she was seeing her deceased colleague as a zombie, and then he wasn't a zombie anymore. Which means we did the right thing.”

“and by the right thing, you mean destroying Bavali Station with photon torpedoes.”

“…Yes.”

“Chris, what the hell.”

“They were dying! I had to do something!”

“And the Federation's policy on that is very clear, yes, but we expect you to do a bit more digging before you jump to opening fire on a Starfleet installation! Now I am supposed to go in there and tell Fleet Admiral T'Pol that you blew up our new refinery because your greenhorn comms officer saw a ghost?”

“We evacuated it first.”

“Chris. For god's sake. Three months ago your first officer was on trial for lying about what species she was to get into Starfleet, which your science officer saw as an opportunity to steal the ship and fly off to Cajitar IV on a hunch!”

“Would this be a bad time to mention I also traded Setlik II's entire grain supply to some Orions for a time portal?”

“Chris!!”

“Don't worry, we got the grain back.”
