How Thornton didn't win a lifetime Emmy for this scene alone is beyond me.

[@henrydavel1440]

He won a Golden Globe though

[@samreilly1484]

It was because he was incorrectly nominated as a lead actor just so “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series” would have 7 nominees (5 of whom were from The Normal Heart) and “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series” would have 6. It’s the same reason February gets the extra day every 4 years. But if it was the Oscars, I can pretty much guarantee he would have won for best supporting actor and he wouldn’t have been incorrectly nominated as a lead actor just to arbitrarily even out the categories. After James Gandolfini (whom the role of Malvo was originally written in mind with) died of a heart attack, it took a month or two to recast the role with Billy Bob.

@@sitaro1207 I don’t think the role was written with anyone in mind. JG was considered for the role and he would have had to get his weight down to 240.

There isn't really one reason why the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color. It's because we evolved in a predominantly green habitat so there are a million reasons why it was beneficial for us to differentiate between different shades of green.

Season 4 I watched a couple of episodes and that it was some weird woke trash, obviously tried to hard to push "the message" and the characters were just not interesting. The first 3 episodes of 5 are pretty boring overall, they put an interesting spin on a scene by scene copy from the film and what essentially is the characters from the original movie. Alot of it feels like a "what if" scenario going of the events from the movie. Some stuff makes total zero sense which totally pulled me out of the story *spoiler* example being there's a Welsh guy (being English I've met plenty of Welsh and his accent is totally off I thought he was Swedish or something when he speak) he's supposed to be over 500 years old due to a curse.

[@philiscoolerthanu]

The human eye's ability to perceive more shades of green than other colors is attributed to the distribution of cones in the retina and evolutionary factors. The human eye has three types of color receptors called cones, which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. These cones are typically referred to as short-wavelength cones (S-cones), medium-wavelength cones (M-cones), and long-wavelength cones (L-cones). The S-cones are most sensitive to short wavelengths, which correspond to blue light; M-cones are sensitive to medium wavelengths, corresponding to green light; and L-cones are sensitive to long wavelengths, corresponding to red light. The distribution of these cones is not uniform across the retina. There is a higher density of M-cones, which are most sensitive to green light, compared to S-cones and L-cones. This higher density allows for finer discrimination of different shades of green. Evolutionary factors also play a role. Early humans living in natural environments needed to be able to distinguish between various shades of green to identify ripe fruits, edible vegetation, and potential threats. The ability to discern subtle variations in green hues would have provided a survival advantage. While humans may be more sensitive to green, it doesn't mean they cannot perceive a wide range of colors. The human visual system is capable of discerning a broad spectrum of colors, but the emphasis on green sensitivity is a result of evolutionary pressures and the natural environment in which our visual system developed.
