#TIL that the cowboy term "buckeroo" is believed to be an anglicization of the Spanish term vaquero, meaning cowherd. From the Latin "vacca", meaning cow;

From which we also get the word "vaccine";

I'm rewatching Castle in this Heat Wave (get it? 😁) and I just love this exchange from season 2 episode 6, which aired in 2009. The Firefly movie is from 2005.

Alexis: Hey.
Castle: Hey. I was … I was just … trying on my Halloween costume.
Alexis: What exactly are you supposed to be?
Castle: Space cowboy!
Alexis: Ok. A: there are no cows in space. B: didn't you wear that like five years ago?
Castle: So?
Alexis: So, don't you think you should move on?
Castle: I like it.

In #Terminator, there's a sense that #timetravel is a rare desperate measure. By Terminator 6, there's multiple time-lines as robots flit about changing history.

The franchise needs to embrace the madness: Go full #wibblywobbly#DoctorWho, give us a #Steampunk#Skynet fighting #cowboys with an army of T-Rex-800s
