The Mayflower Compact is the agreement between the 41 male passengers of the ship Mayflower establishing the form of government of the Plymouth Colony (1620-1691), signed on 11 November 1620 off the coast of present-day Massachusetts, USA. The passengers were almost evenly divided between religious separatists (who called themselves Saints) and others, not of their faith, whom they called Strangers. They were supposed to have landed in Virginia but had been blown off course, and upon realizing they were some 500 miles north of where they should be and that the authority granted to them by the Virginia Company who had issued their legal charter was void in this region, some of the Strangers noted that English law did not apply here and claimed that, once ashore, they would live as they pleased and it would be every man for himself. Members of the separatist congregation, however, as well as – it seems – a number of the Strangers realized they would not survive if they did not all work together for the common good. The compact stipulated that the undersigned agreed to a democratic form of government for the colony where officials would be elected, and laws passed, in the interests of all. Every male member of the colony over 21 years of age would be able to vote for these officials and laws, have the right to change laws or remove those in authority, and propose news laws based on a popular vote; by signing the compact, one agreed to these stipulations, and the majority of those present did so. The Mayflower Compact would not only provide the Plymouth Colony with its form of government and legislation but would influence later important documents in United States' history such as state constitutions, the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution. It is recognized as one of the most important documents in world history in setting a precedent for the establishment of a democratic government by the consent of the governed.

Colonie de Jamestown

La colonie de Jamestown, en Virginie, fut la première colonie anglaise permanente en Amérique du Nord, fondée en 1607. Il s'agissait de la troisième tentative de la Virginia Company of London d'établir un centre commercial permanent en Amérique, après les échecs de la colonie de Roanoke (1587-1590) et de la colonie de Popham (1607-1608).

Mayflower

El Mayflower es el nombre del barco que llevó a los separatistas puritanos (conocidos como peregrinos) a Norteamérica en 1620. Era un tipo de velero conocido como carraca, y tenía tres mástiles con velas cuadradas en el palo mayor y el trinquete, tres cubiertas (superior, de armas y de carga) y medía aproximadamente 27 metros de eslora (o largo) y 7 metros de manga (o ancho). Los pasajeros peregrinos y los que no pertenecían a la fe se acuartelaban en la cubierta del cañón (también conocida como cubierta intermedia, ya que se encontraba entre las otras dos) que, con los 8 cañones pequeños, 4 cañones medianos y otras consideraciones, se reducía a un espacio habitable de unos 21 metros en total. Los cerca de 30 miembros de la tripulación y el capitán se acuartelaban en la cubierta superior, en el castillo de proa y el castillo de popa, donde también había corrales para los animales. Las mercancías para el viaje se almacenaban en la bodega de carga y los pasajeros viajaban en el entrepuente. No había ventanas en la cubierta intermedia y el techo sólo tenía 1,5 metros de altura, sin letrinas ni habitaciones privadas; estas eran las condiciones de vida de los 102 pasajeros en su viaje del 6 de septiembre al 11 de noviembre de 1620.

Lost in Space (1998)

Lost in Space should've tried for some campy fun. Without a bit of self-deprecating humor, all you have left is an astonishingly poorly written sci-fi story. The plot holes are abundant, the dialogue sounds like it was written by an alien and the special effects haven't aged well at all. There’s little to look forward to if you happen to stumble upon this space waste.

The Robinson family - emotionless, robotic father John (William Hurt), neglected mother Maureen (Mimi Rogers), their sexy daughter Judy (Heather Graham), their annoying, squeaky-voiced second daughter Penny (Lacey Chabert) and prodigal son Will (Jack Johnson) are blasting off to finish construction of a space gate that will allow the rest of humanity to escape Earth, which is becoming increasingly uninhabitable. Accompanying them is Major Don West (Matt LeBlanc) and the transparently evil, mustache-twirling villain Dr. Smith (Gary Oldman). After an accident, the crew finds themselves lost... IN SPAAAAACE!

The film uses computer-generated images extensively, and they look awful. I'd be willing to cut it a break but the effects in “Jurassic Park” hold up. What's this movie's excuse? Worse, the effects become increasingly awkward the longer you watch. At first, it's merely mechanical components moving around. They look weird, but you can look past them. Then, we're introduced to a pet alien for Penny. It looks like a cross between an ugly Furby and a Pikachu but at least it can’t get any worse right? Wrong. Wait until you see the final antagonist, a spider-like humanoid whose design looks like it came from 10-year-old doodling in science class.

To populate this lousy-looking film, we have some of the worst-written characters I’ve ever seen. Evidently, writer Akiva Goldsman has never heard of subtlety. In fact, they've probably never heard a human being speak. The worst offenders are John Robinson and Dr. Smith. William Hurt had to know how awful this enterprise was because he gives his performance the same level of enthusiasm as someone being walked to the gallows. You can’t imagine anyone falling in love with him because he seems incapable of emotion. In the film's best (worst?) scene, John is about to venture into the unknown, perhaps towards certain death. He approaches his wife and whispers in her ear “I love you, wife”. Who wrote this?! As bad as he is, Gary Oldman's blows him out of the water. All of his lines have to do with how he can’t be trusted because he’s “a monster”, or something to do with death, or some other creepy line. He’s so bad he’s good.

If by some kind of unexplainable virtue you're able to ignore the flaws already listed, there's more.

Towards its conclusion, Lost in Space introduces a time machine without any understanding of how it might work. The Robinson family’s ship crashes on a habitable planet. Nearby, they discover a time distorting generated by an older version of Will (Jared Harris) who has retrofitted his ship and is living all alone with an older version of Dr. Smith - everyone else being long-dead.

“Why are the two ships in different spots?”

We learn an alien spider bite has mutated Smith into a spider-like human/alien hybrid. After dispatching his younger self, he announces his plans to steal the time machine, travel to Earth's past and take it over.

"Why would you hurt your past self? Did Spider Smith carefully calculate the blow he delivered to himself? He risked accidentally erasing himself from existence with that attack. Wouldn’t that have been a wild development? Spider Smith just ceases to exist because he killed himself in the past? And why does Spider Smith want to take over the world? I get wanting to amass power and money but what would he gain by killing every single person on the planet?"

After a bewildering weakness is exploited, Smith is gone. Now, it’s time to wrap it up. The planet's crumbling, the present-day ship blows up, killing everyone but daddy. But wait, they can use the time machine to prevent all this death! so how far back does dad travel to? A mere 2 minutes; barely enough time to fix anything.

“Why?!”

I can’t get over this climax. It’s just so poorly written. There are plot holes filled with more plot holes, no one acts logically. No rules are established as to what can and can’t happen. There's so much wrong with Lost in Space it is fun to pick apart, but if you’re looking for something that’s “So Bad it’s Good”, I’d hesitate to recommend it. Yes, it's that painful.

Mayflower Compact

Le Mayflower Compact (ou Pacte du Mayflower) est l'accord entre les 41 passagers hommes du Mayflower établissant la forme de gouvernement de la colonie de Plymouth (1620-1691), signé le 11 novembre 1620 au large des côtes de l'actuel Massachusetts, aux États-Unis. Les passagers étaient presque également répartis entre séparatistes religieux (qui s'appelaient eux-mêmes "Saints") et d'autres personnes qui n'étaient pas de leur confession et qu'ils appelaient "Étrangers". Ils étaient censés débarquer en Virginie mais avaient été détournés de leur route et, après avoir réalisé qu'ils se trouvaient à quelque 500 milles au nord de l'endroit où ils devaient être et que l'autorité qui leur avait été conférée par la Virginia Company qui avait délivré leur charte légale était nulle dans cette région, certains des étrangers firent remarquer que la loi anglaise ne s'appliquait donc pas et affirmèrent qu'une fois à terre, ils vivraient à leur guise et que ce serait chacun pour soi.
