ReGenesis

So, I bought ReGenesis season 1 because it was super cheap.
It's a little closer to science than the SF I usually watch. And clearly it's all about impossible things (and if they look possible it's because I'm not ignoring it well enough)(biology. scary.)

So anyways, I really like it. I mean all the characters are all kinds of different and interesting and they all have stuff going on and one of them Bob Melnikov has Asperger's and is a sweetheart and saves the day a lot and is just all kinds of yaay. ( Read more... )

So, anyway, there's also lots of other characters. Much diversity. And pretty.

And it does interesting things with having a bunch of different pictures like comic book panels so people don't have to stand behind each other and you get all the reactions. And it follows one thread of the story and then kind of rewinds and follows someone else around. Is rather cool.

Plus, plots were all twisty and twisted together by the end. And you got enough clues to see it coming, yet not in a why-can't-they-see-it-too way.

Don't read the Amazon.co.uk reviews though cause there's episode by episode descriptions that are basically all the endings. Some people don't know how to review properly.

Apparently there's also more seasons of this. But not on DVD yet? Sulk.

Wiki reckons it has been shown in the UK, on SciFi. I don't got that channel.

Have done the set reading for next lesson.
Now am on to further & suggested reading.

I'm a bit annoyed about not finishing my first year until next year, but I do like that there's tons of time to get stuck in and read stuff.

Having read an introduction book before I was vaguely worried this year's introduction book would be too much the same and therefore boring, but it does get stuck in to more details and points out lots of further reading and is generally interesting. So yaays.

My yellow highlighter is only useful in daytime though. At night with the electric light only it's pretty much invisible. But in daytime even when it's horrible rainy dark the yellow shows up a lot.

... oh, yeah, this is the fascinating in depth commentary here.

Next thing I've got to do is have a think and think up something for the discussion board. There was the bit on Blackboard about Teddy boys and my notes on the documentary and now all that reading out the book. Should be able to get a couple of sensible paragraphs out of that.

... mostly want to sleep. urgh. this is why I can't do full time studying. is very annoying.
