Hanging from the clock at 0:27 is Harold Floyd, "Safety Last" (1923). The wind scene in 0:37 reminds me of the twister in Wizard of Oz. The falling house side/survive in the window at 0:45 is Buster Keaton from "Steamboat Bill Jr." (1928).
Arthur C. Clarke's "Imperial Earth", from 1975, starts on a human-colonized Titan. Their income comes from mining hydrogen for fusion power. Clark even mentions how a full spacesuit isn't needed to be on the surface.
The medicine cabinet has entirely the wrong name. Most medicines should be kept cool and dry - quite the opposite of a warm, steamy bathroom. As Day points out, people use it for "quasi-medicinal objects". Perhaps I'll call it the quasi-medicine cabinet now. And get more eye-rolls from my wife.
The local GG fan here believes the Gilmore downstairs bathroom is a 1/2 bath. And when Paris came over in a panic to figure out what to wear, Rory took her upstairs where there's a door from the bathroom directly to the hall, which is missing from the floorplan.
I'd always wondered about eggplant, though not enough to actually research it myself. I do think #8, Airline Food in the 1960s, should point out that the airlines were more regulated then. They couldn't compete much on price, so they competed on meals and service. After deregulation the airlines became more competitive, and we found out that most people only care about price, not food or free liquor.
I don't think "the passengers were able to shift the balance of weight and turn the ship upright again", but I'm getting mixed information about it. If it were possible for the passengers to tilt a ship by that much, then just think of what would happen when all the passengers on are one side of the ship to watch, say, whales going by or a glacier calving. Or if it did help, then imagine what would happen when the steering was fixed so the ship would be level again, except that now a bunch of people are causing the ship to tilt in the other direction.
There are people who said that in the videos, but it sounds like speculation. Wikipedia has an anonymous, unattributed edit which says "Passengers were directed by crew members to all stand on the right side of the ship to even out the listing". It also says the ship listed 30 degrees, while you quote Carnival as saying it was 8 degrees. The most details I found were from http://www.cruiselawnews.com/2016/09/articles/power-loss-1/propulsion-problem-causes-carnival-legend-to-tilt/ , which says some crew asked people to stand towards starboard, but I don't get the sense that it was meant to balance out the ship. I do get the sense that some of the crew panicked as much as some of the passengers.
Growing up in Miami, I had read about the colors of autumn and seen pictures, but it wasn't until I was 18, on a road trip to northern Georgia, that I finally learned what the big deal was about. Where I grew up had mango, avocado, lime, and guava trees, and an orange tree hanging over from the neighbors' - none of which really turn color. It took a move to the north before I learned to recognize the (to me) exotic maple tree. It really did look like the Canadian flag!
