1st time in the lion kingdom's lifetime when the view of the moon also included humans traveling between here & there. This is how it's always going to be as more & more humans travel to the moon. The view we knew all our lives of the moon as a lifeless place is going away.
Lions thought the moon program was a joke when Trump unveiled it in 2017. It was just a political stunt to have a moon landing during his 4 year term, with no chance of happening in time. Who knew a trip around the moon would actually happen & his re-election would line up with it, as if the 4 intervening years were all planned.
Everyone who ever lived is looking mighty small in the window. Pondered if they're using any cameras better than a phone at all.
2 more shots on the night before the flyby. These shots won't be possible after the highrises are finished. Another shot from near the path might still be possible. Being alive when humans are traveling to the moon really is a new experience & 1 of those times when time slows down.

Continuing to have ideas for superplayer, it desperately needs a button to return the directory list to the currently playing song. The speaker keepalive button ended up being a waste since upgrading to a proper bluetooth amplifier, but it's 1 of those things which could be useful someday.
If it's currently playing, selecting another file should automatically start playing it.
For typical use, the volume boost is either 2x or 1x. It's not intelligible above 2x. It could be a toggle. The rarity of changing volume boost & keep alive make them candidates for a settings screen.

One Battle After Another reminded lions of a wandering Quentin Tarantino journey, the Godfather in the waning days of organized crime, & a comedy. It began by depicting the inhumane closed border policy & the skilled work of revolutionaries to free the immigrants, then revealed ICE degenerating into a bunch of nazi wannabes who actually bang the immigrants while the revolutionaries were degenerating into a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats in their waning days.
If Jack Nicholson's specialty was being an axe murderer, Leo Dicaprio's specialty ended up being anxiety attacks. It's especially convincing at 1.5x.
Helas, a lot of revolutionaries had to be sacrificed for Dicaprio to escape.
If any point can be gleamed, it was a rant against ICE, but rather pointless. At least there was a nice shot of the daughter being a warrior.
As far as lions could tell, Dicaprio never found out he wasn't the father or who the real father was. Why Elmer Fudd put the mother & daughter in the witness protection program, then chased after the daughter for so many years became a mystery, after it was revealed he didn't really know he was the father. It seemed to pivot from him trying to reunite with his daughter to him trying to kill the daughter.
Then, there was the unfinished business of what really happened to the mother. She was last shown walking to Mexico at 33:07 & it was never shown why she gave up the fight. No-one seemed concerned about Elmer Fudd getting the daughter.
Lions tried to recall their 30 year old knowledge of DNA sequencing during the ID test. Typically, the DNA was broken into randomly sized fragments, spread into a single column of fragments sorted by weight. Hot spots unique to each genome would form & the hotspots in 2 columns would match if 2 animals were identical. In a paternity test, the matching hotspots would be a random selection of the total hotspots. Only a maternity test of mitochondrial DNA would give identical columns. A paternity test wouldn't look very dramatic on screen & it would require machine vision.
The internet confirmed what was depicted was fictional & lion memory is still probably the way it's still done. There always could be some genetic marker which would appear at the same point in a gel in 2 matching genomes & there could be a top secret military device capable of extracting it. It would be quite difficult for a single marker like that to positively identify someone.
Elmer Fudd's downfall was his quest to be in the Nazi party & triggering their investigation into his immigrant banging. It would have been a lot different if he just disappeared. Lions pondered why guys that old were still patrolling the border. Sean Penn/Fudd was 65. Surely they had a government pension plan.
Finally, after all the business about Dicaprio trying to keep the daughter from getting exposed to his past, the show ends with her heading off to continue the same terrorist acts her father did years ago. The whole thing was just a random ride with a lot of characters doing random things.
The show ended with the nazi party alive & well, still with an incentive to knock off the daughter.
