I agree, erika. I'm wondering, apart from the "sound in space" thing, what other "clues" the writer is seeing? Is that a reference to Melly's speaking style?
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

Always Anti-fascist!
I don't know...DK comment threads are long and daunting so I haven't read all of it.And have I mentioned today how much I hate liberals who think they are pious because they haven't followed a TV show in ten years? Because I do. Ass them in their free-range, dolphin-safe, community activist ears. Because if you don't read a book for ten years, you're ignorant. If you don't see a movie for ten years, it probably says something a bit sad about your social life. But television as a medium gets all the blame for every bit of crap that is now, or has ever been, on it. And I don't think it's right, especially given the evolution that came with cable and whatnot.(And mostly? I think it's incredibly self-righteous to counter "Have you seen "The Wire"? with a comment like "No, I actually have a REAL life where I talk to my wife and children, thanks.")

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
That is an interesting theory. It makes sense. But it does rather make me want to slap someone.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I thought this was an interesting theory.
If I follow it to the conclusion my feeble brain came to, then it seems that Show wants that I should stop watching it and go do something better with my time.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Is that a reference to Melly's speaking style?
I think so. She said something this episode, I forget what it was, some kind of play on words I think. Anyway it reminded me of Tara.

So it could be considered a resounding success?

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

Adorabubble? Because I would have dumped her right there, myself. Obsession with the Dollhouse aside.

I noticed Echo never poked through her imprint this week. I wonder if the imprint is harder to overcome if it comes from a single source.

If that were true, Joss is even worse at PR than David Simon. Which I thought a physical impossibility. (Simon famously made the decision not to promote the fact that some of the hot guys on "The Wire" didn't always wear a whole lot in favor of using words like "zeitgeist" and calling the American Dream a "Ponzi Scheme". very smart. The way to sell a show continually on the brink of cancellation? NSM.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Laga,
after the massive reset, she's not supposed to poke through anymore.
