cabbitzilla...
Dolly? Diddle? I know I'm generally way behind the curve, but... if you've not seen S2, you really MUST see it, and I'll ship/lend my copy out after viewing if I have to. I'm in the third episode... and the first two have already made it well worth the $34 bite it took out of the Best Buy gift card.
...
Wow.
Sorry, it was a necessary post. I'll quite the drooling fangirl bit, now... at least for a bit...
Sometimes I feel so all alone
Finding myself callin' your name
When we're apart, so far away
Hopin' it's me that you're thinkin' of
Could it be true, could it be real?
My heart says that you're the one.
There's noone else, you're the only one for me.
Yes, this time my love's the real thing.
Never felt that love is so right.
The world seemed such an empty place.
We need someone we could give our all.
Baby, it's you, we'll be together now and forever.
Could it be true, could it be real?

Date: 2004-12-29 03:55 am (UTC)Words fail. So where multiples fail, I'll offer but a single one that I trust will properly convey my thoughts on the matter...
KHAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!
*mutters and stalks off, having now gotten to episode 23 and no longer having hope for complete satisfaction*
Please... humor me... Dorothy at least gets a kiss, right? Please?

... and 'reality' unraveling to do the same to my mind.
'Louse' is ... but a pale reflection of the flash of a blade. I'm staring down the throat of the last two Season 2 episodes, and it may yet prompt a return of the mechacabbit...

Date: 2004-12-29 05:14 am (UTC)So, the series builds up to an impossible finale that -somehow- a half hour episode is supposed to solve...
S and I have the candy, the soda, we even have the adult swim message board on. People are posting '10 minutes to go!' '5 minutes to go'! We're all waiting to see episode 26 of the series...
...Only to have adult swim show a repeat of episode 22 accidentally. No explanation, no defense, nothing.
To make up for the error, AS promised to show ep 26 the next week, and devoted the entire thursday 'viewer mail' to the death threats they'd received.
So, the next week comes, and...Episode 22 appears again...And then stops.
"We were just messing with you"
"We had to do it".
Episode 26 appears on screen.
The thing is...I -still- want to kill the writer.

Date: 2004-12-29 05:37 am (UTC)I don't know that I can easily explain this. Reality being... malleable... adjustable... is a foundational point for me. I've seen things, done things, that I know are simply impossible. I've walked out of catastrophes over and over again, accumulating scars but little else.
Four years ago, I was taught rather brutally just how easily 'memory' is erased. Skills, knowledge, mental snapshots... stripped away in the time it took to gasp and fold up in a pile. A year or two later, I was introduced to a novel form of 'big silly robot' anime that from the first episode hit both passion -and- horror chords.
Passion was winning when I put episode 14 in and hit 'play'. All that's left is horror... and frustration that what I've endured as a personal hell has been inflicted also on my dearest friends and family.
Yes, dolly, I'm 'taking things too seriously' again. Memory, function, reality...
I'm going to watch the final episode now. I'll probably be sobbing by the end of it. I've had to stop four times already to get the tears back under control since I began with episode 14. 26 is sitting there. Waiting. I know what it'll likely do to me... but I have to watch it.
I don't turn back. Not even when the choice is destructive. I choose, and then I reap the consequences, good or bad.
