Yay! Any day I get that on the internet is trending towards a good internet day.

I think it probably does make it less worrying? If it's a trope that comes round to regular complication and has a common set of benefits that's far from the worst trope to have.

I sometimes wonder if it's a question of only remembering two things from Neuromancer:
1. Molly Millions was awesome
2. Hacking is some cool magic
And then saving room in your show by writing them in together.

Ollie took a while to get fleshed out and he's the main dude. It's a notably slow show in that regard.

Oh God yes. I would buy that for me and everyone who was even remotely slow at escaping my interminable conversations about turn based strategy games. I'm looking at you Aunt Maebe with the arthritis!

I hope it's a mark of triumph for your father that you have at least this one story concluding "…it was everything he warned me about."

As someone who crossed a lot of those boundaries because I didn't have much that I liked but did like to talk - the Judgement Night soundtrack was the most special of flowers. Not one group I had contact with did not pull me in for a bizarre little session of listening to it all sequestered and wondering if there was…

I thought DA2 had some very cool points. I think it's worth the fairly limited time even if the irritating flaws are awfully irritating.

* Sighs, folds his fuligin cloak with the most exquisite care, returns it to its reliquary *

Essentially, it was very early and pragmatic civil suit mechanisms - the easiest way to give her all of his stuff. Alternately, a bond could be established.

35 years ago?

Ma vie en rose was pretty blunt. Differently blunt, but pretty blunt.

What kind of kills me about it is that I feel like Alicia could really use a friend more than a lover. Not that those are necessarily incompatible but so far they haven't really been for Alicia.

You can intern out of high school, regardless I think the intern is his daughter theory hinged on her being the daughter of a MUCH younger Peter - pre-Alicia. Which hinged on the 'family friend' meaning that the Mom was friends with Peter's family not with Peter and Alicia's family specifically.

Eh, your's was disturbing enough. As soon as I read it, this montage of the faces of every humanities professor I ever had flashing between horror and glee played before my eyes.
