Meanwhile, tvwithoutpity writes what I would write, if I actually wrote anything more then cuss-laden blog comments.
“150,000 years later, RDM’s hanging out in Times Square, where they’ve just dug up the remains of Hera — or “mitochondrial Eve” — who apparently 1) died early but 2) not before fucking enough cro-mags to populate the entire Earth. A great idea in theory (we’re all descended from the Shape of Things to Come) but I guess I don’t know enough anthropology to understand how that’s not fucked up. Then Chip Six and Chip Gaius are basically like, “God and the Devil are the same thing, which is pretty much everything, but don’t call it God because that pisses God off; and I hope you Earthlings of 2009 don’t fuck it up like every other time,” but even though Six thinks we won’t, there’s still a montage of Asimo and that creepy Japanese girl robot and like Furby saying probably we will. Because in addition to cities, artificial intelligence is evil and we should all become freegans and it should be Woodstock all the time. Or whatever, the “message” as such is not really clear but I guess we should stop doing terrorism and war-type stuff because the cycle of violence is no bueno whether it’s with robots or other people. This part also, though, was awesome, and it ends with the angels walking off through Times Square, and the real “Watchtower” playing because ooooo.”

Awesome.
Great television is a symbiosis of fine writing and good ensemble acting. “Next Generation,” motivated by Michael Pillar, Jeri Taylor, Joe Menosky, Rene Echevarria, Ron Moore (yes!), and others, was, in its prime, as good as it gets. Excellent casting too.
For mythic verity, Menosky’s “Darmok,” a recapitulation of the epic of Gilgamesh, via Paul Winfield and Patrick Stewart, cannot be gainsaid. For perfection of structure, Moore’s “Data’s Day” is unsurpassed. (Old Mr. Aristotle advised against dyadic stories, which advice Moore studiously ignored, to our edification.)
I do not have cable, so have not watched BSG2. No doubt that Ron Moore is a genius. I only ask why young women are compelled to spell their names oddly.
My name is Native American. It means God of the Sky which, I think, trumps “blogmayor” in authority.
“My name is Native American. It means God of the Sky”.
I’m afraid you’ve been a bit misinformed, dude.
Lovely name, well spelled, with excellent etymology, and certain authority.
But I had the BSG2 K-lady from Saint Helens in mind. More than a little precious, don’t you think?
“Blogmayor” is a leftover from a recent political effort. Essentially no authority, agreed!
Oh Katee, right!
Sorry. Smiley face emoticon.
[etymology still cock-eyed]
