The dude with the cane would be like, "Really? You're gonna make me crawl under again? Let me sit on this side this time."
IT IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN FOR A RESTAURANT.
I mean, ok, also this season has also reached a Twin Peaks level of self-indulgent incoherence in almost every other respect as well.
But it's the waffle boats that really bug me.
They just didn't picture the awesome boat lift+epic splash ride the boats make all the time over the entrance to the inner part…
I want the lift to be a fast version of the Falkirk Wheel, and I want it to fail spectacularly 10% of the time, flinging waffle plates across the restaurant.
100% would visit this place
there could be some stairs under the belt, three steps down then three steps up again. or, different entrances to the restaurant, depending on the side of the belt you want to end up. the possibilities are endless and let me say, exciting
maybe the waffle boats make a half turn and they're sat on the same side?
It would make more sense to simply elevate the conveyor to pass above the customers; it would also keep the place handicap accessible on both sides.
But I haven't seen the episode in question, so I don't know if they make it clear that this isn't the case.
The two sides of the belt are the inside and the outside. A restaurant entrance on the inside would be interesting. I picture a spiral staircase descending from the mezzanine level.
I've now watched a couple episodes twice, because I didn't get them the first time. On second viewing I decided they are not meant to be gotten.
This -- and the original post -- are good, in that I'd been hearing good things and had been thinking about picking this series up, but I do not need another source of significant incoherence in my life.
this show values visual style above all else, including reality.
I'm not even convinced these scenes in the restaurant are really happening.
Isn't that part of the whole shtick of Legion? It actually kind of turned me off to the show; I don't want to watch something where the rug can be pulled out from under me quite so easily.
I have been to at least one restaurant with a conveyor belt that simply turns around at the end, like a cul-de-sac street. (Think of a two-lane street with one lane per direction.)
That saves space, at the cost of seeing some things pass twice. Which also happens in a regular loop, but with more time in between.
What a story, eh?
Hollywood can get away with this because 99% of the public has no sense of topology. This is similar to how impossible physics gets a free pass in SciFi. Like when the Six Million Dollar Man lifts a car over his head while standing on a 2x4. Sure he’s super strong, but what about the toobafor that the car’s weight ultimately transfers onto?
Hell, what about the part of the car he's holding?
What about the parts of him that are not bionic?
I dunno what you mean, I eat at Möbius Sushi all the time and it's fine!
They've got a good deal on a Klein bottle of sake.
Let me guess that one of the other things that annoy about this season of Legion was the subplot with the slimy black meme monster that crawls into people's ears.
The most egregious thing about this is that these are waffles we're talking about, which need to be served hot. Half a lap around that thing and you're eating cold waffles. NO THANKS.
This is a pretty apt commentary on real-life sushi boats, though, so I'll allow it.
...unless the canal is a giant bain-marie. Then you could also use it as a fondue while waiting.
If there's a restaurant where I can get a waffle conveyed to me on a literal river of cheese, I want the address.
