I think I just find the world they've set up to be jarring and inconsistent. I don't mind being derivative, certainly not of genre tropes in a genre show, but they've got to help the viewers a bit. If you want to make a campy sci-fi/horror show, then do it. If you want a scary, serious thriller, then do that. There is no sense of humour in this show as far as I can tell, unless the cow thing was meant to be funny.

Kerm OTM, but at least Whedon seemed to have a sense of humour. He would willingly acknowledge from the get-go that the Hellmouth and Willow's hacking abilities was just an easy out for the writers, who were more interested in character anyway. I was hoping for a quality X-files deal, and I'll take a campy paranoid fantasy in its stead, but I can't be bothered with some inconsistent series aiming for somewhere in the middle, especially when it's as dull as this one.
like would it reset back to the time he was in the machine - which i don't think would happen because it would make everything that's going on right now moot - or would they just suddenly start remembering him again? Feel like they're getting into dangerous territory with this whole "he never existed" thing.
I'm not one for "I've seen this done elsewhere", nor do I think calling back upon Wild Wild West is anyway anyone can consider themselves hot shit. The point is really that a writer (or writers) should do well enough for someone not to notice. The eye thing has been done many, many times before, and it is usually a pretty cheap trick when someone's written themselves into a hole/can't be bothered to come up with something better. And the Aliens gag was weak.

do you consider el vez to be a celebrity? if so, then him.

I HAVE MET KIM KARDASIAN DOES THAT COUNTS

Newgod, Sunday, 20 November 2011 09:22 (thirteen years ago)

friend of mine knew his bass player so after the show we hung out with the band in the parking lot of bogart's, (allegedly) passing around a joint. el vez declined because it wasn't good for the vocal cords. i admired his dedication to his craft. he told us the story of the white-skinned god in incan mythology whose name i can't remember, although it starts with "q." i figure you might know. it was a good story.

also! later we all went (sans el vez) to a lesbian bar. there was this guy singing "little sister" at the open mike thing or whatever, maybe karaoke, but i wasn't paying attention because these two strippers who came with the group were really grinding up on each other on the dance floor as only true professions can. the guy finished singing and sat down at the stool next to mine and made small talk for a bit; turns out he was mojo nixon. i regretted my decision as to where i had focused my attention as he didn't sing another song. really nice guy.

what i learned is that elvis IS everywhere, though, elvis is everything. you just have to keep your eyes open.

i think kim kardashian counts.

danke, bam.

also met donna jean godchaux, who although much reviled by even dead fans apparently, sang the backup vocal part on "suspicious minds." do you see?

i am drinking jameson straight from the bottle. it's pretty smooth, although i'm not really a connoisseur of such things. what kind of god are you, if i may ask?
