Kristen displays her (ab)use of power in the Minearverse thread:
Tim Minear: msbelle, that is a great idea! I'm passing it along to Sandy Grushow now.
Oh, wait, uh, or whoever is in charge now.
Kristen: Gail Berman. You want her home number?
Tim Minear: Back away from the Network President's home phone number... nothing to see here. Move along.
Kristen: I would like to state for the record that I have never actually called a network president, except when authorized by my former employer.
Any pizzas that Sandy Grushow may or may not have received in December of 2002 were merely a fluke coincidence.
Allyson: Pizzas? I sent Reavers. Hence, his leaving.
victor infante: And for those of you who DIDN'T think Kristen was the most dangerous woman in Hollywood...
Kristen: Hey, I didn't run over Ben Affleck the other day. Though it was tempting.
In Natter:
Jesse: Hey you guys -- Lori found water on Mars!! Cool.
DX: What? The tap didn't work?
Non-spoilery, in the Firefly thread:
Anne W.: This is a case where "Trust in Joss and Tremble in Fear before Tim" is all I need to know.
Minearverse. Political Economy. Ferrets.
Typo Boy:
Heinlein makes it clear that business (and family) are the source of all that is good in the worlds; politics is a dirty business that may be neccesary, but should never be encouraged. It is an idea that I consider insane, but I think it is too much at the core of what makes Moon a great book to change.
Ferret Liberation Osomething:
We always saw it as the power of the individual over group mentality with a bias towards meritocracy (with admittedly Mary Sue/Stus galore), but we were impressionable kits at the time and may need to go back and revisit the book once we finish 'How to Be Evil Overlords for Fun & Profit'. We admit a certain bias towards taking over from an existing heirarchy. Also - throwing large rocks! How cool is throwing large rocks from space!
Amych:
TB, you realize you're arguing political economy with a pack of ferrets bent on world domination, yes?
FLO:
We're fixed. Leave us to our simple pleasures.
And because the Minearverse is big with the zing tonight:
Tim: Joss?
DX: Big guy, pretty clever, shame about the montages.
