What's a "Moral Compass Cricket Thingy"?

THAT WAS HER NAME! You know, I kept forgetting her name, and I knew she was, like, an actual TV show that was on, so I been thinking for a while "What was the name of that character again?" Thank you for knowing it.

Probably Our War Game, which is section two. It had the least amount of cuts, so it's not nearly as hard to follow the story. It's also WAY more intense than the rest of the film, given the actual stakes involve a goddamned missile hitting Odaiba. I believe in the original, it's implied to be a nuke, but I'm willing to admit to being wrong on that.

Heh, there was a long time I forgot what her name was too and could only remember what the show looked like. Once I did remember her name I refuse to let myself forget it.

Huh, now I'm wondering how much more was cut in the first part by comparison, because I can't see what would need to be cut from that part as it doesn't have to continue from anything and is so far time-wise from the second part that it can just wave everything off as "resolved in time skip".
Figured I'd look up whether it was nukes or not, and the western movie has them labelled as nukes, with one going to Odaiba and the other aimed for Colorado. The original movie instead has them just be ISBM's, which is probably the more sensible choice of the two considering it drops into some random lake in the middle of the city without issue, and I don't think a nuke could possibly do that.
