Memory Alpha's riot timeline:

Early in the morning of September 1st, a fight between a guard and a dim sparked a riot, wherein the ghosts led by B.C. attacked the Sanctuary guards and quickly captured the Sanctuary Processing Center as well as the rest of the district. Armed with the weapons of the overpowered guards, the ghosts took six center employees hostage, including Vin, Calvera, and Lee. They were joined by "Gabriel Bell" and Michael Webb, who acted as the voice and face of the riot while dealing with police negotiator Detective Preston.

Chris Brynner, who owned Brynner Information Systems (which operated Channel 90 on the net), was convinced by Dax to break the law and to reconnect the Processing Center after the police cut it off. Reconnected on September 2nd, many Sanctuary residents (such as Henry Garcia) were able to tell their stories of imprisonment to the outside world. As a result, the American public became aware of the great injustice that had been hidden from them and further riots broke out in Sanctuaries across the US.

Despite protests from Detective Preston, the governor of California ordered National Guardsmen to retake the Sanctuary by force on September 3rd at 0500 hours. In the melee, hundreds of Sanctuary residents were killed, including B.C. and Michael Webb. "Gabriel Bell" was shot, protecting Vin and the other hostages (all of whom remained unharmed).

Stallone and Bullock in Demolition Man costume

"Hey, I was in that movie, too! They used to put my face on the cover...Of course, Sandra did do most of the work on that one..."

There are no wrong Sandra Bullock movies.

Except "All About Steve". That one is wrong.

Spoiler for 'All About Steve'It was not.

The one where she forces her employee to marry her is pretty cringe, oh, so is that one where you can't make noise or the boogie men will get you. Edit - or was it you can't open your eyes? Yes, I think that was it. The Bird Box?

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Great points.

I'm realizing a picked a poor hill to defend.

Though I'll admit I did enjoy both of those.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I did enjoy the HR nightmare one. I wanted my time back after watching The Bird Box.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

I shall henceforth always call "The Proposal" by it's corrected title "The HR Nightmare One". That's so perfect. Thank you for that.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Oh gosh. I've already established myself as a die hard defender of all Sandra Bullock movies that aren't "All About Steve"... But I forgot about "The Net". Uh... I like my answer better.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

And yet, both were horrible and not worth watching.

Come to think of it, that describes a huge number of movies she's been in.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

How dare you?! Lol.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I'm can't decide if this is a joke or not, and whether it's better that way or the other way around.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

She was certainly a lot prettier.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
