So far there isn't an episode of Lost that I haven't enjoyed, but it isn't following my normal patterns of watching TV shows. Usually I latch onto a single favourite character (like Lex Luthor or Fox Mulder or Methos) or pairing but that hasn't happened. I like most of the characters, dislike a few, find them all interesting and oddly convincing even in their weirdnesses.

I'll put my comments on tonight's episode under a tag because because there will be spoilers. )

I don't want to just sit here quoting Warren Ellis all the time... ah, heck, maybe I do. From today:
I think it was after that some Bush PR handler went off at a journalist, claiming that people out in the great Heartland of America were going for Bush because, quote, "they like the way he walks, they like the way he talks, they like the way he points to things." That weird alpha-monkey gait of his, with the palms facing backwards and the squared shoulders, is actually an ape-community tell denoting the leader. Seriously.


And by gum that's the most sensible explanation of Bush I've come across yet.

He talks about people being up in arms about what Ann Coulter said about Canada. I don't know who she is and I don't know what she said. Though the phrase, "Blame Canada," did flash across my brain. In actual fact, I think what Ellis said about her is very wise:
Ann Coulter may be Crazy and Evil, but she's funny. People are currently up in arms over
her comments about Canada, but, you know, she's on TV. She's paid to be a dancing monkey. You want
people to pay less attention to her? Dance better.

We live in interesting times and media immediacy has changed the nature of political action and perception.

Just picture Johnny Depp saying it....
The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is. - James Matthew Barrie, 1860 - 1937

I got this from [livejournal.com profile] raggedrose and though the questions were quirkily meaningless and the answer probably more so I felt a pleasant resonant to the results - maybe it was the 'sex in the afternoon' line, maybe because it reminded me of some postmodern version of Nick and Nora Charles, maybe because it's the secret inner self I would like to become....
