The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who is he, in relation to the show? Creator, exec producer, writer?

Exec producer.

I spoke too soon ... I'm bumped down to connecting to peers on the pilot. Hmmph.

I'm not sure. I don't know if it's driven by her being a girl or her being a "victim" or both. I think Paul has White Knight Syndrome.

I think a lot of it seems driven by what happened to Alvarez in the beginning. He was beating himself up over not knowing things about Alvarez even though he sat across from her for 2(?) years. Things he felt he should have known. It seems natural to me that he would take more of an interest in Rebecca, personally as well as professionally.

Serial killers, serial rapists, they tend to target women and children, and so that's what we'll see.

Yes. Absolutely. A television show realistically portraying the mysogyny that exists in society, and the charcters maybe even using it to their advantage in going after the bad guys, doesn't equate to promoting it or excusing it, in my book.

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

I've tried the torrent twice, and it keeps giving me a UDP error.

I'm stalled. 57% downloaded and it just stopped.

I got to 56.7%, and now zip. Well, uploading continues, but nothing of any benefit to my greedy self.

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

Weird, other people are having problems too. Maybe I got lucky. I'm uploading it to YSI now.

Are there only peers, and no seeds? Because that could explain the stalling.

All is well that ends in pizza.

P-C, what torrent program do you use?

26 peers, 0 seeds. Somehow, though, PC got in after I stalled and got the whole thing.

I use Azureus. Mine downloaded quickly, with no stalling that I saw, in less than two hours. I can't figure out how to seed it back now, after having change the filename. It won't configure the tracker or something.
