Okay, so. I am recruiting for a Feminist Surgical Attack Squad.
Qualifications include:
1.
Incredible annoyance with male writers' use of pregnancy as a plot twist, especially in SF TV.
2.
Ability and willingness to break into the houses of male writers.
3.
A supply of ripe watermelons.
4.
Surgical skills for subcutaneous implantation of #3, in the abdominal region.
5.
Bitchin' ability to look innocent when questioned by police. Rhetorical skills a plus.
Vonnie, I am depending on you for the surgical parts. It is you or Hot Doctor Luka, and he is not taking my calls today.
Damn, Quicktime.
Most Quicktime files are mpegs.
Save this link to your hard drive and rename the extension to mpg and you might be able to play it elsewhere.
That's the "farscape_480.mov" file link, 18 Mb.

HA! You better call back Hot Doctor Luka because I'm not so large with the knife-fu. Unless you don't care how pretty the incisions look on the recipients of my not-so-tender mercy. Actually, you probably don't, so... yeah! Alright.
Signed, Also Fed-Up With the Thing That Is Turning Nutty To Organized Crime.
Vonnie, I am betting at least under your tutelage the subjects will have world enough and time to contemplate their change in circumstances. Whereas I, doing the same procedure, would not give my subjects the ability to reflect on the wrongness of their wrongs, as they would promptly die of blood loss or peritonitis.
Nutty, you need to call Sherri Tepper. I think she covered your goals in Fresco.
She is like a famous author or something. Can she fund my new enterprise? Although from the Literary thread I have gathered she might be required to stay in the getaway car, or else she might wield the Clue Hammer of Death and Dented Skulls, and that might be fatal.
Can we get Hot Doctor Luka involved anyway?
Usually, I'd be all for involving Hot Doctor Luka, but I reckon he'd probably balk at the somewhat radical nature of our enterprise, being all peace-loving and caring and do-no-harm and shit. (Note that I have no similar qualms.) Plus, he'd be distracting us all from our True Goal with his bruised prettiness, which won't do at all.

Dude. PTSD flashback.
Yeah, maybe sometimes I like them broken, and I don't try to fix them.
He's about healing, but not quite about peace.
