Machiam large scale military battle from Star Wars or Star Trek or Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica... but ant-sized and here on Earth...
"OH NO! I STARTED AN ANT WAR!"
Watch what can happen when you break one of the basic golden rules of ant keeping. I attempted to mix two unrelated ant colonies together. This is usually not allowed in ant keeping because it inevitably leads to an ant war. In this video, I explain why I had thought it was a safe bet to attempt colony fusion between the Golden Empire and a new 5 queen ant colony of the same species.

In Japan, they take pride in everything, including songs for anime drama series (eg. various Kennichi theme songs by different professional singers), which are almost always sung by established professional singers commissioned for the project (similar to how PC games in America hire professional Hollywood actors for voice acting, eg. Mark Hamill, Grace Chloe Moretz, etc).
The Don Quijote (Japanese discount chain store) theme song used for their advertisement is so well sung, it could very well have been sung by a professional singer commissioned for the project, but it turns out the female singer behind the song is Maimi Tanaka, a Don Quijote store employee (her rank and appointment unknown).
This reminds me of how HK TVB couldn't afford to pay professional singers for their Tian Long Ba Bu drama series theme song back in 1982, and had to use their own HK TVB employees (a man and a woman) for the theme song duet instead, which turned out very nicely.

Indeed, Lethal Weapon (TV series) doesn't disappoint. Miranda's death (which could have been just a lame inconsequential plot device) turns out to be pivotal to the larger overarching plot, and the plot twist revealing her father's role in her death promotes Lethal Weapon to another level. Well done, Lethal Weapon.
