But she hung out with her friends, so she ended up there anyway. *shrug*) She may well have bumped into Adrienne. <BR/><BR/>My plans for working up some Watts flyers got derailed by last-minute con crap, but I'm SO glad to see that Adrienne did such a Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455392902128303614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740787063649889480.post-28591423283315465502008-09-15T17:09:00.000-04:002008-09-15T17:09:00.000-04:00keippernicus, I hear you, but should we be looking...keippernicus, <BR/><BR/>I hear you, but should we be looking for logic in TV sci fi. TV sci fi, that thinly disguised discussion of whatever the RL anxiety of the moment is? I mean, paranoia, war, and aliens-among-us are the order of the day in the U.S. I haven't followed BSG completely, having no cable, but what I've seen is barely clad social commentary that would have done Swift proud. <BR/><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740787063649889480.post-24053818157101384972008-09-13T16:20:00.000-04:002008-09-13T16:20:00.000-04:00Ah, and if our culture valued books more maybe thi...Ah, and if our culture valued books more maybe this would cause some heavy splash damage.<BR/><BR/>On a related note the reboot of BSG is probably the greatest source of cognitive dissonance since I reflashed the part of my brain that used to accept religion.<BR/><BR/>I won't say anything negative about the series because it is hands down some of the best shit on TV but the premise is still Keippernicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799559369903723808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740787063649889480.post-41060658491970327722008-09-12T19:57:00.000-04:002008-09-12T19:57:00.000-04:00You do realize we're talking about the twenty-firs...You do realize we're talking about the twenty-first century's reimagination of BSG, right?
