Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

I just deleted some spoilery posts for the unaired episodes of Wonderfalls. Sorry about that, but a lot of people still haven't seen the unaired episodes.

Uh, the majority of those two posts above mine was about an old X-Files episode. Perhaps an edit would have been better.

I know. It was about the same actor, though, and came from the original spoiler. I figured it was better to be thorough.

I'm sorry about the stompiness, but until the DVDs are released, no spoilers except in the Wonderfalls spoilers thread.

Thanks DX, much appreciated.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

Uh...okay...at first glance that looked a little bizarre since I've never watched Wonderfalls in my life. I take it my question led in to it though...oh well.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Remember when Book is telling Mal in OMR that if he uses Saffron he'll go to a special hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theater?

I have a friend, who likes Firefly, and has commented approvingly on this line, who chats through most movies. I don't think this friend even realizes it, despite some not quiet shushes. I don't know how to say "You're annoying everyone" without upsetting.

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

Poke him/her and say "special hell!" just once. Maybe it'll take.
