Firefly?
Firefly.
You’re gorram right.
Yes and Cowboy bebop and Samurai 7 (not a western but a scifi period piece I guess.)
…Why is there Dunkin Donuts inside a hospital?
Because the resident practicing their first ever medical procedure on you has been awake 38 hours.
Until alarmingly recently there was a Burger King in my nearest general hospital.
I never could make sense of that.
it is because, at any given time, there are hundreds, to thousands, of family, and friends, of patients in the hospital. Hospitals are large places, hard to navigate when you don’t know them, and even then take a long time to get in and out of. Also they have a similar amount of various employees. People got tired of the cafeteria food, and began voicing complaints about how big of a pain in the ass getting food that doesn’t suck in. Also, a lot, even most, of the people in the hospital are not there due to dietary stemming problems. When you are sick and/or injured, you want comfort foods. People want to bring you comfort food.
So, over time, they started making space for commercial food service to rent from them. So you will see fast food, and sometimes whole on chain restaurants. This also can be a source of income.
honestly i really kinda like big hospitals for this reason, they just end up feeling like an entire ultradense town, i have to imagine something like this is what it would feel like to be onboard a big star trek spaceship.
I used to work at a hospital that was so large, the city it was in had it designated as a sub-city entity, for considerations of emergency management.
Trigun?
Ah, yes. The Spike Spiegel wing.
Edit: Where are my manners? Let’s throw Vash the Stampede in there too. Not enough love for Trigun these days.
Let’s throw Vash the Stampede in there too.
The humanoid typhoon?! The six million double dollar man?!
I kid. You’re absolutely right.
“Love and peace!”
Hmm…
Dune? Nope
Westwood: Double Nope
Cowboy Bebop: Not even close
Dark Tower: negative inspiration actually
I’m sensing a pattern here. Sand + sci-fi equals a lithium prescription.
are you kidding? westworld ABSOLUTELY fits! did you not watch the first two seasons? or even just the finale of season 1? the old engineer and his redemption arc, the robot girl and her apotheosis? the jaded nihilistic madame and breaking her programming, proving she’s her own person, by breaking her code, possibly in a way that was planned by a manipulative bastard who played everyone around him for decades, blurring if not effectively erasing the line between humanity and our creations, emphasized by the man in black’s whole arc, in kind of a more drawn out version of the cinematic cut of blade runner you can’t even find anymore?
I was inspired by cowboy bebop and dune! not to, you know, become the chosen one or a space bounty hunter, but, like, you know, in other ways. they were beautiful. they said stuff about life. they touched my heart. they taught me about myself. cowboy bebop in particular really drove home the beauty of the temporary, of relationships even if they weren’t forever, the beauty that can come from facing your trauma, your past, and potentially even your death, and also inspired me to be a deeply annoying weeb for a couple years, among other philosophical shit.
Cowboy bebop
I’m so glad I’m not the only one to assume this arrow points to the “Trigun” and “Cowboy Bebop” aisle.
Outlaw Star: “Am I a joke to you?”
