No lawsuits, and hopefully no duels. It’s actually nice to find another Inkleaf that’s not a big web store (still really curious how they ended up with that name). Enjoyed reading through your blog, especially the post about “team players.” I think you’re spot on with what that term implies. I left my job with a major university because they didn’t feel I was enough of a team player. I don’t regret the decision.

Comment on Without which not by inkleaf

So now I’m posting to my own blog, but another reviewer had exactly my problem, quoted here:

“Extra credit: And now for a very special cat question. We see Lampkin’s insanely cute kitty about a zillion times in this episode, looking perky and zoomy. In one scene, Lampkin realizes Lee has to be president and talks to kitty about it. In the VERY NEXT SCENE, he shows up waving his gun at Lee, and shows Lee his cat carrier. Lee peeks inside, makes a face, and says something like, “She’s been dead for weeks.” OK, WTF here people? Did three weeks pass while Lampkin walked down the hall to shoot Lee? Does he own Shroedinger’s cat, capable of being alive and dead simultaneously? Was the cat he talked to in the previous scene a ghost?”

I’m just saying, I wasn’t the only one really irritated by this bout of bad storytelling. Read the rest of their (even more critical than my own) take here: http://io9.com/393717/new-battlestar-episode-packed-with-plotholes

Comment on It’s a Big Enough Umbrella… but… by inkleaf

I’m commenting (with ironic timing) on my own blog to say that this particular show was recently cancelled. If I’d just waited a week longer, I wouldn’t have needed to even bring it up….

The nice thing about belonging to a common non-political organization is that friendship goes across what would otherwise be potential dividing lines. And having formed friendships, differences in opinion are more easily tolerated.

Comment on ‘Free’ Business Cards Explored by Business Cards Biz

Wow a whopping 5 free business cards… that is a little frustrating, did they take credit card information or could you just keep ordering in quantities of 5?

Ha it’s probably not worth the time regardless!

Comment on Theory, Storytelling & Expectations by Chaotek

Moore has stated in interviews that he planned Battlestar Galactica to be a drama that happened to use SciFi tropes (so your theory is sound). I think the same theory can be applied to other shows which polarize their audiences, like Lost, Firefly, or Jericho, where the whole point of the show is the human drama, not the effects. I think that one thing that got lost in BG is the fallout and post-traumatic disorder after the genocide of the human race in the opening mini-series–however that might be too depressing to watch.
