Am rewatching Farscape from the start.
My unwatched DVDs pile is down to seaQuest, Sharpe, half a dozen movies I've mostly seen before, and some Farscape. So, Farscape it is.

I like how he starts out the Zeppo. Out of his depth. Others think he is a prat. I like how he isn't hte only one with a heart, or even the one that excels. He's just this guy, and totally ignorant of their world, however he would excel back here.

I also love the pop culture references. Green Lantern rings and willpower. Which John Wayne films were bad. Fun.

Also, I know it all gets better. Which, since it already doesn't suck, is just cool.



Blakes 7, Farscape, Firefly... any more space shows in that family?


Doctor Who and Stargate have similarities. Stargate effectively time travels (though usually without the paradox) by stepping through into places modelled on ancient civilizations, plus they get to play with aliens whenever they want too, and its easier to build up big bads and arcs if they don't have to time travel to follow you.

I seem to have run out of cakelikes already. No fair. Leave out one apple pie, run out of one course half way between shoppings.

(Plus the thing where I eat too much.)

The Farscape DVDs I've got so far don't seem to have subtitles. Which is a pain in the neck, because I can't find a set of sound settings that make the background music and sounds stay in the background.

Am wondering if newer sets have subtitles. Am further wondering if this is sufficient reason to spend a bunch of money. I guess the sets I have would still sell.

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to need to win at conversations?


I'm still working on the whole 'conversation tennis' thing. You say a thing, and then someone else says a thing, and you sort of bat the words around a bit between you. Turn taking is the hard part. I can say things pretty good, its just the catch and throw of other people words that gets tricky.

Some people though, its like they have to win. They thwump the conversation real hard. Nobody replying? Wins!

I don't get it.

Or, people who always answer with a bigger thing. Or making it more complicated. Or sometimes telling you you don't know the thing that you are pretty sure you knew.

Conclusion: not only autistic people could do with a rules sheet.



actually, the online places I interact, they don't do this.
conversations just kind of meander along.
also, its less like tennis, because there's as many balls as people can think of and nobody has to take turns anyway because your turn sits there until eyes get to it, it doesn't have to compete for ears. I like that much better.

there's a lot of differences between 3D interaction and online, and lack of smileys ain't the main thing.
specially since I'm rather bad at smiley interpretation in 3D anyways.

I think I go sleep again.

Even though I did only wake up at 3pm today.
