--- Quote from: MooskiNet on 01 Nov 2014, 13:52 ---There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
-- Douglas Adams

You missed the best part of this quote (or at least the version that was in the BBC-TV mini-series: "There is another theory which states that this has already happened. Several times."
--- End quote ---
I defer to the original radio series, which does not have the added statement. The number of times it has happened is irrelevant, after all.
--- Quote from: Peter Sellers in the Goon Show ---That's not irrelevant, that's a hippopotamus!

What's really interesting is that Douglas Adams made every version (radio, miniseries, books, and film) very different. Once the earth is blown up, they diverge wildly. I heard that the movie was written specifically for an American audience, which would explain why it's so different from the others, most notably in having what's reasonably close to a happy ending.

The movie is an abomination.

I always read Claire's expression in panel 2 as worry that Tai would embarrass her and try to set her up with Marten right there, and panel 3 as surprise that Tai would put the question to Emily so bluntly. Of course, this is the same Tai who foisted the interns on Marten on their first day so she could get high and watch Adventure Time, so Claire should be used to bluntness by now.
