So back when I was renting my soul to the American military apparatus, I worked on sonar, and the "who was watching the sonar" thing is wacky as hell even if sonar had existed at the time. Commercial ships having actual sonar domes is something that is only becoming common relatively recently, and it's mostly on merchant and research ships operating in the arctic. For the most part, commercial ships have range finders that look under the ship and tell them how deep the water is. They can see a something like a reef or underwater mountain coming up but they can't see an iceberg, and definitely couldn't even back when this show was made, much less in the black and white days. The two main reasons for that are that you need a specialized team to operate and maintain the kind of big complicated sonar system military ships have and that that kind of sonar is loud af. You couldn't just keep it running on something like a cruise ship without the passengers being able to hear it, so ships that have it tend to turn it on in unfamiliar or known dangerous waters, and leave it off most of the time. For the most part, radar is better than sonar for navigation if you are above the surface, being cheaper, easier to work with, higher resolution, longer range, and faster updating, and can be run without disturbing your passengers, so front facing sonar tends to only be seen on certain ships doing certain things in certain places. Even if sonar had existed when the Titanic was built, I'm not sure it would have been installed. I mean, the "Yarghhh me maties. Man the sonar ye gundecking landlubbers" performance wasn't great either, but she should have researched her lies a tiny bit better if she wanted to retain plausible deniability.

Yeah I think most people have a very, very skewed idea of what sonar does. Not military myself but I have a buddy who was submarine crew, and he's explained that proper sonar can actually stun or kill you if you're up close and personal with a ping. Just... Significant amounts of force, heavy, complicated machinery, not a magic 'see underwater' button.
@achristiananarchist2509 Жыл бұрын
@@dustind4694 Oh yeah. If you are in the water near a ship when they go active it is pretty much guaranteed to shatter your eardrums, and will probably cause some internal bleeding. Death is a distinct possibility. It was actually part of our normal procedure and training to flip the sonar on in a "swimmer in the water" situation, not to see them or anything (we couldn't see something as small as a person anyway), but just to make their ears (and possibly other things) bleed so they stop swimming. If someone is trying to swim to the ship, first you turn the sonar on. If that doesn't stop them, you hit them with the "pain ray". If they still keep coming, then you just shoot them. Incidentally, this is also why we have to turn it off (unless we are doing something real important) when there are whales around. Whales have special ears and jawbones that make them able to deal with loud underwater sound without blowing out their eardrums, but they still don't like how insanely loud naval sonar is so they will try to swim as fast as they can away from it, sometimes beaching themselves in the process. Every time we've done "Tiger Cruises", where we bring civilians onboard and let them sail around with us for a while, the thing they are always the most surprised by with the sonar is how fucking loud it is. That little "ping" that you hear in the movies wouldn't be able to see 10 feet in front of the dome.

I am EXTREMELY stoked that you are doing more episodes about this show. Couple notes: 1) This wasn't cable tv, it was on FOX Network back when it was UHF. Like, back when it was a Weird Al-ass UHF channel that didn't always come in because it was so high up the frequency band. This was before The Simpsons and COPS and FOX NEWS turned it into a major contender. 2) That Oliver character is played by the same actor as Loki on Supernatural, and honestly you can't convince me that character himself isn't just Loki from Supernatural. 3) FREDDYS PROM HAS GOT IT GOING ON... ok had to get that off my chest. 4) I literally cannot wait until you get to the super homoerotic episode with John Cameron Mitchell.

I wonder if the fake psychic was meant to be a genuine medium in the first draft of the script. (Yes, I'm assuming these stories had more than one draft.) The possession thing would make perfect sense if she was genuinely channelling spirits and just had really bad luck with who she made contact with. And now I'm thinking what if they made her the real deal, but still did the Titanic bit, not because she was faking, but because the spirit was. She actually contact Jim, the former convience store clerk turned roofer who died because he went to work stoned one day and fell off the scaffold. Wanting some attention and realising that nobody in the room would care what he had to say, he decided to pretend to be someone more interesting.

Freddy's nightmares is on paper a show that I should love, but in practice it's kind of unwatchable outside of the episodes where Freddy is the direct villain. Every single episode has themes of dreams and the implication with all of them is that Freddy is fucking with the residents of springwood through their dreams to direct them to the ironic bad ends they come to. But the problem with that is that in practice it's never clear what is a dream and what is actually happening, and while you understand Freddy is involved with these weird nightmares, the characters usually don't, which means their foregone deaths is kind of anticlimactic because they never even realize there's a third party making things worse for them. The constraint also makes the episodes very, very, very repetitive, which is a horrific flaw for an anthology series to have. Usually the benefit of such shows is that outside of sticking to a main genre (horror, sci fi, etc.) you can tell very diverse stories with rotating guest actors. In this show every single episode involved dreams, confusing Freddy-related imagery, and being in Springwood. Don't watch it!

The original Nightmare on Elm Street had a lot more sexual overtones and Freddy was absolutely a child abuser, but the Kern County child abuse hysteria was in full force at the time and Wes Craven thought it was in bad taste, so he toned down Freddy’s pervyness and ditched all the child abuse stuff which is why it’s a little vague in the original. The Kern County child abuse hysteria is a wild story on its own. 30-something people falsely convicted of satanic child abuse because some crazy old lady coached her grandkids to say they were abused at a daycare and it just blew up into 60 kids being coerced into falsely accusing innocent people. The convicted got their sentences overturned like a decade later, but the prosecutor was still in office 20 years after the hysteria. Peak injustice.
