I haven't seen the movie myself, but my first thought was of the movie, and of Moore's views.

I'm feeling very dense. I didn't get the reference at all.

I don't think most people know much of anything about Tim's political leanings.

And that's pretty much why there's no reason to put a politically-meaningful quote (apparently, I still have no idea what may be political about it) as a thread name - this thread is about crafts and soaps (and, well, some tv shows), and none of them is political, so why connect it to anything political, regardless of opinions or leanings?

But I love it that "five" and "Drive" rhyme.

(Oh, and it was very interesting to skim this thread. But that's all the thoughts that I can form on it now.)

[Edited because even though I am at a no-thoughts-forming stage, I'm still not at the completely-can't-spell one.]

Minearverse 5: Crafty Procrasturbation

That gave me the image of some very disturbing knitting projects.

I didn't get the Bush/Moore thing at first. I love it! Please let it be that.

Unless it's just wrong.

Personally, it engenders a wee bit of rage in me, but I have issues with the administration and its ability to respond to crises. I suspect I'd get over it eventually.

I... don't get it. I feel unpolitically knowledgable.

So, not crafts (but definitely some sort of procrastination), thanks to Kristen, I managed to read the script of the first episode of "The Inside". I wrote down some stuff while reading, to unentangle my thought, and I thought I'd share. It's like Watch-and-Post, without the watching, and putting all the posts together, so less of the posting. That's why it's so messy. But, well, here goes:

The victim being one of the members of the team, without them even knowing it, at first - this is up close and personal, it's about them, at least as much as it is about the cases, about what the cases do to them. And they hardly ever know it (other than Web, who from the very first few seconds seem to be the one who knows everything). That's a physical (and, I guess, pretty striking) way of saying this, but I do hope it's right, and it's about the inside of the people's heads and souls. And I've already used the word "inside" without thinking, silly me.

It wasn't a surprise, in a way, that the victim was the missing team member. I already knew that the show was about a new member in an existing team, so a former one must have died. But for me it was like pointing a finger to what I babbled about in the former paragraph. And I liked that (hey, I like when I'm being helped to know what to think, OK?).

I like Paul, from the start. He seems to be the one actually trying to be nice and honest, from the very first minute. I already hear Danny in AB's voice, just from reading his words - it just fits so perfectly. I even imagine his face, and now I wonder if the face I imagine, the expressions and gestures, are similar in any way to the ones on screen. Mine are a bit Jayne-like.

Oh, and "Carla" is now Melody, right?

"Like the man, the office is elegant but with dark corners." - what an amazing line of description. I have a complete picture in my head of the office, just from this line.

I really liked the first conversation between Rebecca and Web - she's trying to hold on her own in front of him, he - in a way - dares her to try, while still seeming to appreciate that she does. I imagine they both speak very quietly and calmly, even when saying the most standing-out things ("they were wrong", "you only think you have").

Oh! Paul, the nicest one so far, the one who didn't jump to look her up online, is the one who offered to go through her bags, the most obvious violation of her privacy. So, there's more to each of them than it seems in first glance, ha?

I loved the part in which Web chooses to call Rebecca by the full name, the one she was not using for herself. He's already changing the person in front of him, designing her more like he wants her to be rather than who she was when she entered the room, and he starts with the most personal and most outward thing, a name. Am I putting too much into this?

With each detail Rebecca is describing of the 8 victims, she's actually describing herself (age, looks, new in town). Huh. And she already works on the case, trying to form a theory, even before getting there, just off the plane. How does the murderer knows that the victims are new in town? Is it like she said, that something in their rootlessness attracts him? So he's also inside the heads of his victims, in a way?

So, Paul, the one who offered to go through her bags, the one who used the information the other two found online (he knew they were going to look for it, right?), he's the one who is on the team thanks to his conscience? I like this game. I wonder now what the others have that Web needs, what the dead Alvarez did, and how come Web already had his eye on Rebecca before he ever needed any new staff member. I'm less of a third of my way in, and already I want to know things about these characters.
