I am realising this is me and language. Except in The 13th Warrior. That just makes me laugh.
Absolutely get the button thing. I'm sure I have some. Haven't seen 13th Warrior, but it's probably in the Netflix queue.
Heh. Emily funny.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, sure. Tracker comes to mind.
I knew you'd say that, but I already had two posts in a row, and I didn't want to triple-cereal calling you out.
But now I have to admit that I think Andromeda is worse.
I'm tempted to leave it, just to see if anyone reads the damn things.
Dare you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Worse than Adrian Paul trying to play a mysterious alien and ending up looking like someone mentally deficient? I have a hard time believing that.

See, Andromeda has previously interesting characters competing to see whose tongue can go the furthest up Dylan's (and by transparent extrapolation, Sorbo's) rectum. I can't say as I've seen comparable onscreen ego-gymnastics, ever.
Plus, it's nigh incomprehensible. I think that a worse crime than too simple.

Art Crawl!!!
Tracker was just bad -- Andromeda started out interesting and then fell apart.

Yeah, but that's why I'm comparing Enterprise to Mutant X and Andromeda. The potential is there. I know I liked Scott Bakula and thought he could act, once upon a time, and there are at least two or three other people on the show who definitely can act.
What I really need is good fic. But surprise, surprise, no one's writing it.

I never thought Mutant X had potential. But there were two eps I solidly liked this season, plus a couple more brought in the HoYay. So much more than I expected when I signed up.
I can't believe all my syndicated sff is going away!

Oh, man, now I'm watching last week's Smallville. 12-year-old Lex is destroying me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The problem of the static societies?
One thing in favor of staticness is that all the societies we see appear to be very small, isolated groups. There is no synergy that comes from mingling with people from different areas and cultures. Of course that begs the question as to why the population hasn't grown after so many years.
