Ok I looked it up but I still don't get it? |
|
Just hanging out watching the rerun and on the story where the environmentalists planted wildflowers to stop the housing development, KO said, "Next up, they're going to plant tripids. Look it up."
Well, I still don't know if I'm spelling it right-- probably not-- but the spelling I have agrees with the spelling on the closed captioning, and I can't find that word in M-W or google? :shrug:

Day of the Triffids. Old sci-fi flick. They were plant-like creatures that (naturally) wanted to kill humans. Don't remember much else, off the top of my head.

8. Realized after I posted that I had confused two movies. |
|
'Day of the Triffids' has a meteorite that blinds everyone and then the space weeds eat'em; the Pod story features a scientist who is growing the space weeds in a greenhouse and, when someone enters said greenhouse, a pod person is generated. Saw the Pod movie when I was seven/eight years old and that's all I remember. That and being much impressed!
