Sometimes, Blakes7 is just fun.

... and then I try and figure out why, and why all this futility and anarchy and death isn't quite as depressing as similarly themed modernism, and I have trouble coming up with an answer. I think it's partly that each week they have a story with a beginning, middle, and end, that mostly makes sense (sort of, in a SF way), and doesn't actively try and make you spork your eyes out (unless you count the costumes, FX, or occasional color schemes). So, rather different than modernism then.

I still don't have a good reason why it's amusing to watch one of our 4 season 'heroes' stalk the other as he huddles terrified and they're both likely to die any minute. Possibly the acting. The whole 'here kitty kitty' vibe just makes it a bit difficult to take seriously.

Also, there are spaceships, and computers made mostly of blinky, and people being very decorative and shiny.

... no, add it all up, and laughing probably still makes me a bad person. And yet...

The proper answer to "Have you betrayed us"

Is not "I set all this up"

I think if I write a space dystopia I want to end it earlier. I mean, it'll probably all go Horribly Wrong, but do we have to watch it? We could stop it like Serenity, telling the worlds, can't stop the signal. And then pretend it'll make a difference.

I don't know. All the choices in the universe, and do I believe we'll be happy and shiny and Star Trek Federation saving the day a lot? Or do I believe that, somehow, we'll manage to make just as much of a mess on a larger scale?


Clearly I need to watch some antidote.

What shall I watch next?


Actually clearly I need to do my modernism essay, but... well, for the last essay I had a plan consisting of three names and a word. This time? Not even.

I forsee much viewing of DVDs in my future.


Also I really need to write another script. Just to prove the first one wasn't a fluke. Sometimes I think all the stories fell out already.


... I'm possibly just a teensy bit depressed. :eyeroll:
