Nickelodeon Buried the 90s in a Time Capsule

[Endocrom]

...Chia Pet...
...The true My Little Pony [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_little_pony#Generation_One_2]...
...It was the golden age of the Star Trek [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_trek] movies (Generations, Contact and Insurrection)...

Chia Pets were the 70's, the original MLP was 80's

Insurrection? Ok it's not the worst, but that's the one where that lady was trapped in a cave collapse and they decided that the best thing to do while waiting for rescue was to SLOW DOWN TIME?

I'm aware of that, but their influence extended well into the 90s with omnipresent commercials ("ch-ch-ch-chia") and rampant merchandising.

Okay then, what would you have suggested? From a medical point of view, it makes sense. They had no means to help her, and Dr. Crusher couldn't get to her for another hour or so. Think of it in terms of suspended animation, it's like cryogenically freezing someone until you develop a cure.

The 90's sucked ass in pretty much every way a decade could suck. A decade without an identity, and without anything outstanding to identify it. I really can't see why you'd need a time capsule to remember it, as there really wasn'y anything worth remembering.

Coming from someone swwho grew up in the 90's, they sucked ass.

I disagree, there were a lot of good 90s films, great books, and of course, great games.

It's mainly the music that sucked major ASS.

I think the Windows 95 PC was the greatest icon of the 90s. That truly brought the personal computer within reach of every home. 1995 till the dotcom crash, those were the days...

I'll give you Chia pets, but you will never convince me that MLP was as popular in the 90's as it was in the 80's

and why WOULD you want to slow down time when you are hurt? Maybe you just saw it differently, but to me, it seemed that that would extend the ammount of time they had to wait for help.

Oh, trust me, they were popular. A few of my friends had a gazillion little ponies, even had the big house for them. I only managed to coax my parents into buying me a couple of ponies. So yeah, they were popular. Or at least, in the first half of the 90s, I'll give you that.

Like I said, it's kinda like suspended animation, you halth time to order to limit the amount of damage being done. Imagine she hit her head (or was bleeding out internally, in the abdominal cavity; same difference for the purpose of this discussion), slowing down time who mean the hematoma would have less time to grow and worsen. Slowing down time in their own bubble means that they stay stuck in that instant while time flows normally outside of it. It's like hitting the "pause" button, if you will. In the end, it's mostly used as a plot device to show that Picard has come to understand and even adopt the Baku's way of life and outlook. At least that's how I see it.

I could swear I saw Worf moving in slow motion as he broke through to them, meaning they were moving faster, thus, extending her pain.

But that doesn't matter now because while looking for that scene on youtube I found the Red Letter Media review of Insurrection and other movies, so I'll be on youtube for oh, the next year or so.
