The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

Closed Film and TV threads

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, I did really like Rebecca talking her way through the vic's house. I thought it would feel forced, but it was very natural.

I really liked all those flashes with her dialogue coming out of other women's mouths and shit. That was way cool. I also really liked the way she worked her way to the subway revelation, how she kind of subtly shifted back and forth between first and second person (I think subconsciously, for her). Both those scenes show well that she really does get inside the heads of the victims...and as tiggy suggests, because she was one herself.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That was a very Mal Reynolds moment.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The front page of TI.org has a poll on the first episode now.

Edit: and it's getting about 30 visits a minute from Yahoo, the only search engine which has indexed the site so far. Looks like the show made an impact.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That was a very Mal Reynolds moment.

Yes it was, but Mal Reynolds is not sworn to uphold the law.

For me, it was an "Oh, no he didn't... oh, woah. He so did," line.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm looking forward to next week. I don't really expect to get a good feel for all the characters in the first episode.

I was cheering Tim's credits and then clapping and going "Yay, Allyson's the fourth victim." That's not usually something to cheer about.

Speaking of Allyson, anybody seen her around? t he said, ominously...

Thrive to spite them

If it were Firefly and that was Mal it would be one thing.

But Web's an FBI agent and there are rules and that bothered me. Maybe if I liked Web I'd feel differently but I don't and that made me like him a lot less.

coming out of other women's mouths

I liked the use of the mirrors and changing reflections. It showed you that Rebecca's identity isn't fixed. Hence, the shifting use of first/second person. She puts on identities like a woman trying on hats.

"Don' be e-scared"

by the way, east coasters -- now that you've seen it, doesn't all this hand wringing by the MSM critics about the gore seem a bit overwrought?
