Okay, regarding the latest Buffy issue, who caught the Alan Moore reference?
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Not I. Is it image or text?

It's text.
I'd quote it in white font for you, but I don't have the issue to hand. Somebody will probably get it before I get a chance to post it.

Maybe it's referencing a book I haven't read. I got the Pink Floyd reference. Does that count for something?

I got the old MTV show Aeon Flux on DVD. Man I used to love that show. I think back in the Liquid Television days they only showed a half an episode at a time. Maybe in small doses it was better. Has anybody else tried watching it? I'm 1.5 episodes in and thinking about stopping. It seems purposefully byzantine while lacking in actual plot. Is it just me?

You're thinking of the shorts -- after the pilot, there were a half-dozen or so shorts on Liquid Television, and then it was spun off into a separate half-hour program. All of that stuff is on one of the disks.
It seems purposefully byzantine
Yes! Er, but if that isn't your thing, I believe that the first few episodes are fairly straightforward compared to what comes later on. So yeah, if you're not enjoying what you've seen so far it's probably not going to improve.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
From what I recall of it, people who require sensical plots that are explained within the narrative for their TV enjoyment should run far, far away.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I adored Aeon Flux. However, that was probably during the phase when I thought emulating chemical alteration was a good thing. Plot? Who needs a plot?
However, I currently have Charlize Thereon Aeon Flux hair, so I am probably not the most objective person to ask.
