(no subject)

I ran across this blog post comparing Dollhouse and Fringe back in S1 (warning: link contains major spoilers for the S1 finale), and started howling with laughter at this bit:

2. Clear-cut good and evil
Mind you, I'm not saying we'll have any idea who the various factions in Fringe's world are working for, or what ends they ultimately serve -- not until the end of the third season, at least. But we're pretty sure that the hot blonde FBI lady, her hunky brooding surrogate brother-slash-love-interest-and-all-of-a-sudden-this-just-got-a-little-freaky, and his wacky lovable weirdo genius dad are the good guys. (Maybe not so much the wacky weirdo genius, but we're constantly reassured that he means well.) Meanwhile, the slyly evasive lady with the robot arm? And that freaky English dude with the bandaged-up face and the one creepy eye? Yeah, they're pretty much evil.

Ahahahahaha, bless his heart. The lady with the robot arm is not so cut-and-dried, nor are our heroes so, heh, one-dimensional.

Anniversary

Eleven years ago, I watched the last ten minutes of Dark Angel's pilot, and was hooked so hard that I ventured into the strange wilds of the Internet in search of more.

Eleven years later, I am fundamentally changed by my time here, with all of you crazy awesome people and your passionate diversity and endless acceptance.

I'm about to start a new career in massage therapy, and it's been awhile since thedorkygirl made my lovely former default icon, which has been in constant use since 2003. It seemed like a good time for a change.

How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don't you think?
