Is there any change in the plot in Gracepoint from Broadchurch? - amoxy Sep 7, 07:38 5
- Supposedly starts out with the same event but plays out differently. Broadchurch was excellent, but not something I'd subject - TWuG Sep 7, 07:45 4
  - I wonder about that. You're probably right but I might chance it again given how well it was done. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 7, 08:32
  - Yeah, Broadchurch is on that list of "Glad I watched it but never again" -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 07:53 2

  - Like your ears... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 7, 05:56
- I'm on a Sloan kick after the CanCon discussion of the other day. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 22:20
I visited a military base for the first time today. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I assumed a base was a lot smaller than it really is. - kelly Sep 6, 21:43 28
- detrick? -- nm - loosi at home Sep 7, 00:22 2
  - Andrews. -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 03:54 1
    - To clarify - I'm talking about the living area, not the working area. - kelly Sep 7, 04:45
- over the last 20 years they have closed/consolidated all the little depots and bases. - zeitgeist Sep 6, 22:31 1
  - I worked for BRAC and it's all BS. -- nm - loosi at home Sep 7, 00:22
- Don't know about the rest of the country but some of the bases out here are huge. - Meg Sep 6, 22:11 21

      - Here's Fort McNair. It's tiny. Presidents go there all the time. -- (link) - loosi at home Sep 7, 00:27
    - I live near a kind-of small one, but it's a naval shipyard mostly. And on the other side of the harbour, there's a bigger one. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 22:15 15
      - Hell, I live in Indiana and we have a naval base here that is 100 square miles. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 22:24 10

        how much air space does area 51 take? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 6, 23:33 1
        
        Difficult to say. Since it's a piece broken off from the Nevada Test Site and wedged into Nellis Air Force Range, I'd say "most of Nevada". -- nm - Mop Sep 6, 23:49
        
        but that just makes sense - Beryllium Sep 6, 22:25 3
        
        We are... rather far from water. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 22:30 2
        
        Yes, I understand that. This way, the base is safe from a naval attack. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 22:30 1
        
        .. or in case the water decides to attack. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 22:31
      - Yep, it all depends on the branch of service and type of base. In contrast to the desert bases I live just down the - Meg Sep 6, 22:22 2
        
        And I'm sure the base on Alameda is kinda small -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 22:22 1
        
        Fort McNair in DC is 28 acres. -- nm - loosi at home Sep 7, 00:29
      - ... which all gets counted together as 41 square kilometers. LOL. So much for being small. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 6, 22:20 [Image]
- it varies on the country and their base, but the hardcore professional bases have been full communities since ancient Roman times - Peglegpete Sep 6, 21:57

Doctor Who question. The guy who played the king, where do I know him from? -- nm - loosi at home Sep 6, 21:17 10
- That was an incredibly suck-tastic episode. Complete garbage. -- nm - TWuG Sep 7, 05:48 3
  - I am in agreeance. Although I still have hope there's a great payoff episode later that will make me say, "ooh, of course". - CovingtonCat Sep 7, 05:58 2
    - Oh, there was a bit of the overall arc in this story, but the story itself was just awful (spoils) - TWuG Sep 7, 06:34 1
      - Oh, please, no. (spoils) - CovingtonCat Sep 7, 06:53
- So, question (spoils?) - Truman Sep 6, 22:07 1
  - No, but (spoilers) - amoxy Sep 6, 22:14
