While I'm not sure if she did it on purpose, one thing that really sticks out to me from watching the video is what a gong show parliament is. I mean, while I get that yelling is part of the game, but MPs (no matter what stripe they are) should at least be able to speak without the by's yelling and screaming like they are kids on the playground.

Underground window in OSC? (Below)

11 Upvotes

I see lots of chatter around Below, mostly actors, writing, and resulting tourism, but I have a burning question that is completely unrelated: does the Ocean Sciences Centre have an underground viewing window into the ocean? Or is it some kind of flume tank? You see it twice, once when Barry is smashing his head against the window, and then again when the doctor returns to OSC and finds all her samples thawing.

It seemed like the water was implied to be ocean, but I suspect if this location was real, and actually in the OSC, it'd just be a tank. I do see a "17m flume tank with sediment tray" listed on a MUN page about equipment at the OSC. Anyone know anything about it?

I just sent in my legal name + sex marker change along with a request for a new birth certificate. How long are we talking about for wait times? I saw people on here say over 6 months which is longer than I was anticipating. I mailed it from Quebec but my primary residence is in NL.

Does Below lean a little too heavily into Newfoundland stereotypes?

39 Upvotes

I'll start by saying that I'm enjoying the show overall. It's nice seeing Newfoundland and its culture represented to the world, and hopefully it'll give tourism a bit of a boost.

I haven't finished the series yet, but I was wondering: are all the scientist characters supposed to be from outside the province?

If so, that's a bit disappointing. The show already kind of leans into some stereotypes of Newfoundlanders as quirky, simple, heavy-drinking fishermen. Having all the scientific expertise come from outsiders would only reinforce the idea that Newfoundlanders are less intellectually capable.

Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but I just wish we'd see a little more variety in how locals are portrayed.
