What we learned from 'Meteor: Path to Destruction'


Ok, I'm sure you know this game and I think this movie is an endless source for comments like these... I'll start...

1. A lot of people just don't know that cars need gas to run...

2. If you are the only one who has an idea on how to save mankind, everyone will try to stop you from doing so or you will end up dead...

3. There are no phones between Mexico and USA

When the world is ending, there will always be superfluous sub plots happening that are only important to the three people involved.

If you pick up random strangers and take them to your cabin and they end up being murdered, you don't need to bother the police.

Psychopaths can fall from the top of the stairs and it only makes them stronger.

If a redneck meets a black man in his general store, he will assume he's from out of town.

That's what a mini-series is, stupid!there are sub plots about people in different places and how they begin to be effected by the event in the series...the events bring all the different people of the different sub plots

1. Even with thousands of astronomers around the world monitoring the sky, only 2 of them will notice if a killer rock is headed straight our way.

2. They will be man and woman. At least one of the two will be hot.

3. If a meteor hits it will be magically drawn to a major urban center, especially an easily recognizable landmark.

(Hmmm...did anyone see the equally awful "Impact" on ABC?)

>If a car is out of gas...all you need to do is look under the hood and then walk out into the middle of the street.

Impact was also on NBC. The network is showing a trio of 2 part disaster shows on Sundays.

What I learned from this movie is that girls shouldn't be scientists because they don't know how to explain anything to anyone, don't look at the gas tank and try to hitchhike with a shotgun.

I also learned that Christopher Lloyd and Ernie Hudson must've done something terrible to somebody a long time ago, because they can be easily blackmailed into acting in anything.

Finally, I learned that the older kid from home improvement hasn't "improved" his acting skills in fifteen years.

ABC, actually, but what's the difference? Both their prime time schedules kinda suck right now. Bring back Jillian!

Actually, one of those is a re-run (10.5: Apocalypse - though why NBC didn't bother to re-run the first 10.5 is beyond me, or Apocalypse might have made more sense).





Please let me know if there's some other way we can screw up tonight.

1. Rich guys in red cars think they can do whatever they want.
2. Bad guys assaulting other people just get a warning and are sent home.

1: Meteor showers only fall in the United states

2: There is always a military base close by to shoot down the meteor and their shots never miss

3: There will always be a police officer who will talk about being good to each other in a moment of crisis.

reply

1. It's good to know that our military will always be dressed to the nines -- in their dress blues no less -- while manning the command center during a national crisis;

2. Only the prettiest girls get to work at JPL;

3. 'May not know much about algebra, or geometry...', but in the case of a meteoric crisis -- or Armageddon-- our military leaders will always be big black men.

reply

1. Cars come from out of nowhere.
2. Meteors hate kids.
3. There are hot woman near and at California
4. The internet may be down, but Wifi is still availible.
5. The only thing a man ever loves, is the 2nd Amendment.

1: Meteor showers only fall in the United states


It seemed like a vast majority of them fell in California, a few in Mexico. Moral of the story: Don't live in California.

Meteors fall at all times of the day in the same location despite coming from one source.

while the earth is constantly turning. Yeah, neat trick, there, meteors!

1. Jason Alexander is confirmed busto.

People who own guns can only be uncivilized racist rednecks.

If you are a big uncivilized racist redneck buying water at a mini-mart, always just insult the black guy also buying water and take his water.

And if you just meet your black friend who you haven't seen in a long time and a big uncivilized racist redneck insults him, tell him to let it go because it's not worth it.

And if you are a black guy who was just insulted, let the guy you haven't seen in a long time tell you how to react to racism and stay calm.

Trucks don't stop for people standing on the road in Mexico, they just run them over and keep going, probably driven by a big uncivilized racist redneck who owns a gun.

- If you stand in the middle of a remote road long enough, you'll get hit by a speeding van.

- No matter how many times you explain to people that you need to get to the lab to give coordinates on the meteor's path to save mankind, no one gives a *beep* they'd rather rape you or hold you in a cell for 5 hours.

- No one thinks to drive their car 50 miles to the nearest shelter. They would rather walk.

- The overweight mom with kids who is desperate to get to the shelter now regrets not being a little more fit during a time crisis.

- Picking up a very odd, quiet, dirty, enigmatic man who claims to be a cop is okay no matter how strange he acts.

- Everyone becomes more religious when a meteor is about to crash into Earth and "softens" their tough exterior.

- The Earth is around 72% water but all of the meteor's manage to hit all over the United States.

- People become catatonic and watch in wonder as meteor's come crashing through our atmosphere instead of taking cover.

The sun never sets in California, even if it does in Las Vegas.

Meteors always fly parallel to the ground (as opposed to straight down).

Meteors fly at subsonic speeds.

There are enough fallout shelters for the entire population (even though the population has doubled since the last one was designated), and local authorities are set up to use them.

Precision missile launches depend on a verbal countdown.

American nuclear missiles are capable of achieving escape velocity, even though they were designed for suborbital flights.

Mexican police cars have controls labeled in English.

"Well, there it is."
