Small Talk: In the lap of the (Olympian) gods

[Meredith Quill]

The Small Talk topic is for:

• Introductions
• Off-topic chatter
• Having virtual tea with forum buddies

This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:

1. Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about
2. Look for an existing topic that matches or fits
3. If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!

Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to):

• Character topics
• Spoiler topics
• Comparison topics
• Speculation topics
• In the Media topics
• Favourite X topics
• ...you get the idea

Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

I tried adding the 2021 Olympics forum to my Homepage using the blue flag drop down on the top of the forum page, but it’s not showing up on my homepage.

Thank you! Then I’ll quit toggling with the blue flag drop down trying to get it to work! 😆

I don't know where to put this, so I guess here will do. Does anyone remember the show, Buck Rogers in the 23rd or 25th Century with Gil Gerard s? I don't remember exactly which century and I'm lazy tonight. 

One of the few episodes I remember was the Olympics. they took place on the moon or a space station and there were only the athletes in attendance. Buck Rogers went because he was from the 20th Century and he was some kind of special guest. I've been reminded of this episode of that show several times since it was announced there would be no spectators. I imagine I will keep thinking about that episode all during the games.

The 25th Century. Specifically, the year 2491.

I was watching a vlog by Matisse Thybulle last night (he's on the Australian basketball team) and Joe Ingles (another player) was discussing the conditions of the Olympic Village in Rio. Apparently when players arrived, the showers had no curtains, some of the rooms had no windows installed, and they asked players not to go number 2 in their room toilets because they would break the plumbing system. It was unreal to hear him describe it. I knew it was a mad scramble to finish Rio in time for the Games but I had no idea it was that bad.
