Yes, caught hypothermia is pretty standard English. If he was sending weird conspiracy emails and getting interventions, he’s not a well man.
Nah, I consulted a couple MDs. “Suffered from” and “had” were their preferred verbiage.

#193Since we're discussing the economics of film/TV studios, and their weird decisions. I'd like to understand why the studios are still making Star Trek shows. Each one seems to be more poorly received than the last. That's costing studios far more than $55M. Picard alone cost ~$9M per episode according to Wikipedia.

Only to a certain subset of "fans" who have made hating Star Trek a part of their identity politics, and a grift on Youtube. They've even started to hate Strange New Worlds, even though it should be everything they wanted.
In actual objective reality, each of the new Trek series has been highly successful.

I don't understand all the love for Dune. I read it, it was ok, and that was it. 3 underwhelming film adaptations is more than enough. Special effects don't make a movie anymore. What matters is plot (and music). For example, "Colossus the Forbin Project" is very good. Some other very good scifi movies: . Invaders from Mars . Flash Gordon (1980) . Terminator . Star Wars IV . Alien
If you've read only the first book, you've only read the prelude to what people love. However, considering what you recommend, I doubt it would be something you'd enjoy.
Not GP, but I think I made it to about 20 pages into the third book before giving up. I actually enjoyed the first book, but it just got more ponderous as it went on. And this was around the same time I read the Foundation series by Asimov, so I didn't necessarily need at pot-boiler.

So? In normal parlance, caught is regularly used.
Quibbling over this is unproductive and fussy.

#197I love these stories of sci-fi movie diasasters. There are just as many insane stories of "amazing this classic ever got made". On the topic of disasters, I recommend reading about The Starlost: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlost
Is The Starlost worth watching? The episode summaries look neat, but the reception/reviews don’t look so good.
It had some talent behind the writing, Ursula K. Le Guin, Harlan Ellison. For the first few episodes it seemed legit and to be going somewhere, but lost its way at some point. Production values were always quite low, but not that much different from Dr. Who from the same period.
I rate it as worthwhile from a sci fi archeology perspective, but not good in any traditional sense.

#198Sounds like highly functional personality disorder or manic depression
Looks like amphetamine abuse to me.
The delusions, gambling addiction, reckless impulsive behavior.
Second story we see where amphetamine abuse played a part (SBF being another one)
