Happiest of belated birthdays to my favorite mad (hot) scientist, meresy! Meres, you know I adore you, and I am so very very glad that you were born, and I am sending you many virtual hugs (I MISS YOU), and you may be very sure that AU!me was actually on the ball and brought you pancakes and balloons in bed, in celebration of your day. *hugs ( Read more... )

And in WTF news, apparently they're going to have another season of SYTYCD in the fall? As in, RIGHT AFTER the summer season? This sounds like a terrible idea! I mean, it could be fine (and YAY MOAR DANCE), but it could also be way too much of a good thing, and if my favorite show ends up being all bloated and overexposed, I will cry and cry and cry, because I seriously look forward to this all year. Fox: finding ways to fuck up your shows even when they DON'T cancel them. Impressive!

Could not agree with you any more if I tried! Also, it will attempt to subvert our love for this season's dancers (if there is any LOL) with a whole new cast, like they won't have their own moment in the spotlight, you know?

Right, exactly! I was thinking that--whoever wins is going to be America's Favorite Dancer for, like, five minutes! That's pretty sucky. And I'm wondering how it will affect the tour(s), too. I am not encouraged by this turn of events!

it invalidates the message of the first two movies (particularly T2)

...huh. Is it the whole message of "no fate but what we make"? Because I can see that being invalidated, yeah. T3 becomes "you're pretty much doomed to apocalypse, but you can change how/when it happens." Heh.

Yeah, that's the argument. But I actually think it's not quite like that... for me, it's more that John and Sarah are too late, by the time they find out about it, to stop the war. The seeds have been sown in too many places for them to dig them all up. (You could argue that they've been sown in humanity itself--"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves"--but that's not the whole story, obviously.) I have a lengthy (of course) thing about it here, if you're interested. Plus, fate becomes a pretty complicated concept when you're dealing with time travel, too.

Though T2 certainly ends on a message of hope, and T3, not so much. Heh.

Ooh, I will check that post out, thanks! I am in a meta-y Terminator place right now. (Did I tell you I had Terminator dreams ALL NIGHT Sunday night? Hee.)

You know even though T3 ends the way it does, which is awfully bleak, I still feel like there is some hope in it because John is alive and in a safe place and starting to assume the mantle of leadership even then. Things are fucked up, but at least there is hope, because John is there.

(Speaking of John Connor: someone on my flist saw an early preview of the movie and said the movie is not about John Connor, so you might want to keep that in mind going in. Especially since they gave that role to a huge movie star, I assumed it would be focused on him.)

Right! ITA.

Hee! WELCOME TO MY CHILDHOOD. ;)

And that's good to know, about the movie... that is not what the previews have led me to believe. Thanks for the heads-up!
