Dr. Sanderson looks like a jigsaw puzzle??? Sweet.....
working this PM so only time for a brief entry.
I've been watching Dollhouse (J. Weadon's new baby) on ITV 4 and it interested me to the extent that I went and bought the DVD of Series 1.
Guys, this is rare for me to buy something so quick after watching it. I'm sometimes a bit too methodical in my approach to my interests and usually get caught up in details at the risk of any spontaneity that might occur.
I like the show, but I hate it too cos it draws a lot of comparisons to the likes of Weapon X and Deadpool and stuff I grew up with when I was in Aber back in the day.
The premise of the show is that Echo (main protagonist) is working for a secret organisation who wipes her memory after every engagement (read: episode) she undertakes. This gives the writers huge scope to play with Echo and put her in any situation they may choose while giving the audience a couple of long-term story arcs to keep them interested.
My favorite of those being Alpha, a rogue agent who's a bit of a psycho and is played by the lovely Alan Tuyrek aka Wash off Firefly.
As a result of this changing we get to see Echo both in and out of 'character'. And if you want to know any more then please watch the show.
The deep reason why I don't like this story is that for someone who has prided themselves on being unique, and has achieved the task of forging another identity to present to the public I do find it a little twisted seeing Echo get her brain scrubbed at the end of every episode.
I'm sure this is what the creators of the show want the audience to feel and I'm fine to go along with this... but something deeper pinches me I suppose.
The idea that me and people like me will always be "false humans" in the eyes of certain people in this world. People in question currently reside in my place of employment - boo.
And when they question, name slip and pronoun slip it does make me feel that, in their eyes, I'm just someone "wearing" another personality on top of the one that I was given at birth.
I'm false, I'm fake, I'm... not kosher.
In my worst nightmares Harrison Ford comes bursting into theatre and tries to shoot me. I have issues no doubt.
This is a shame as I know I will never be happy in my job if this continues to occur. And I know it will cos everyone talks about me behind my back. Unfortunately that's not me being paranoid, new surgeons have been informed about me by their colleagues and now name drop with the best of them. :-(
So I'm stuck in a cycle of being informed upon.
But I really like other aspects of my job.
And I've made some good friends here, but the people I'm not friends with use this weakness and it does hurt, and probably always will.
and I don't think I can put up with that for ever.
right, better go and do something with my face and get to work. see everyone at 9pm.
Did I mention I'm going on night shift on Thursday?
Yippee.
Not.
