Lettro

Dear Spring Quarter Students,

Though you probably don't like the idea of having to deal with a bunch of science fiction stuff all quarter, it will really open your eyes to a whole new genre. Most of you probably haven't watched that much science fiction, and just to let you know it's not too bad. Yes, there are some definitively corny parts to most television episodes, but as long as you can overlook the cornyness it really becomes somewhat interesting. Yes, all the blogs and comments will be annoying. The writing isn't that bad. Other than that, it's just a normal class.


Sincerely, Jon Russ

So, in class we watched "Out of Gas" from the Firefly series. I was actually surprised by how much i enjoyed the episode. I thought it was my favorite episode of any show we watched this year in class. I liked how it showed how they first got the ship. I liked how the episode showed how the crew got together. I enjoyed the three different stories coming together to really make a very strong episode. I thought it was it was interesting how the captain, towards the end of the episode, fixed the ship but didn't make it to the button yet was still saved by his crew. After that happened it kind of made the episode seem somewhat pointless. It showed some sort of loyalty i guess. I feel like the red button could represent life. All Captain Mal had to do to to live was reach the red button, but he couldn't reach it before he passed out. So Mal got lucky or something. I feel like the red button could relate to someones back-up plan or something like that that goes wrong. At one point Mal is alone on the ship when he finally receives a message from another ship. These people came on Serenity and then tried to rob it. Mal got shot but was able to fend off the invaders. I thought this part of the episode was really eat. It was cool how he could defend his ship like that. Overall, I thought the episode was pretty good.

So, I watched an episode of the original Star Trek series entitled "What are little girls made of?". I think once again Star Trek attempts to tackle a major social issue. This is a very bold and, at the time, very cutting edge. Basically, what happens is the Enterprise is dispatched to save Roger Korby, a really well known exobiologist, whom appears to have been stranded on the planet Exo III for 3 years. Chapel, the ships nurse, was Korby's fiance. They go there only to find a bunch of androids that seem to be kind of pointless, and they find Korby. Korby doesn't seem right. Korby himself than ends up being an Android. So basically, there was no one to save at all.Korby ends up getting destroyed, so that no more Androids can be made. I guess you just get a sense of the meaninglessness. They came so far only to realize that everyone is just a machine. This episode aired in 1966, so there could be a possible connection to the Vietnam War. Potentially how the soldiers felt at the end of the war, having gained or won really nothing. The United States spent billions of dollars and lost many American lives and have nothing to show for it. It was a meaningless war basically. I thought the episode was kind of interesting. It was a little bit haunting which made the episode have a pretty cool tone. Overall, I thought the episode was pretty good but the low quality of the show is still somewhat detracting from the show.

So we watched Farscape I class today. If I was John from that show I would be freaking out. I really have no idea what I would have done. I think after I went through the wormhole and that one ship clipped me and crashed into that planet, I would be really freaked out. At first definitely I would probably try to side more with the humans. It's really hard to put myself in John's shoes. I guess I would feel really lonely. I would feel like I would definitely think I was going to die. Basically, I would be scared. I would probably try to escape on that planet they landed on. I would definitely be looking out for myself 100%. I didn't really like how the show used puppets. I thought the characters looked pretty fake. I think it takes away from the show. I guess i would eventually start start going with the flow ad try to escape with the prisoner dudes. It's kind of hard to determine how I feel about each character. Each seems weird in their own way. I think the main character is a bad actor. I think the show overall seems to be the lowest quality ad personally my least favorite show that we've watched in class this year. I am sort of surprised this series lasted four seasons. The series must pick up at some point I would imagine. I think you have to be a major science-fiction fan to be able to appreciate this show.

So i watched the episode "The Cloud Minders" from the original Star Trek. Basically what happens that in order to save an inhabited planet from being destroyed by a botanical plague, the Enterprise goes to pick up zenite, the mineral cure, on the only known planet where it is mined. When Kirk and Spock go down on the planet they are attacked by 'troglites' (miners) but they are not captured. High council adviser Plasus steps-in and brings them to Stratos, the rich-people metropolis, which literally floats in the sky. However, it is under attack from 'disruptors', troglite revolutionaries who want equal life conditions for both the miners and the rich people. They do all the hard work, mainly working miserably in mines and live in caves on the barren surface below. Dr. McCoy finds out the alleged intellectual inferiority of the troglites is not genetic but the reversible effect of exposure to the invisible gas emitted by the zenite. Basically, this episode i feel is trying to deal with racial issues at the time. Time episode came out in 1969, and it speaks a lot to that generation. The episode preaches equality especially since the doctor makes that discovery. Racism was a major problem, obviously, back in the 1960's. I would say the original Star Trek has a lot deeper symbolism than Battlestar Galictica, at least that;s how it seems. It seems like everything after Star Trek is just a copy of Star Trek to a certain degree. It's kind of classic seeing all the original characters in the show.

We, also, in class today watched the episode "Water" in the series Battlestar Galactica. I thought the episode was fairly interesting. So it turns out that people are discovering that cylons can look like humans. I was wondering whether all the Sharons' in the show think they are human or if it's just the one that's with the humans already. Sharon basically has a breakdown. I feel like she's really confused and is having trouble identifying herself. I believe subconsciously or otherwise she knows that she is the one that activated and laid the detonators. I feel like this could relate to the real world in a lot of ways. Anyone that experienced a traumatic event that made them question themselves and who they are. Perhaps like taking place in a gas station robbery and someone gets shot and killed. Well, this killing wasn't supposed to happen and would change a man forever. Sharon has a really difficult time admitting that she discovered water on the planet she was searching at the time. Even though she is a robot she has this great internal battle, and actually overcomes her instincts to ignore the water siting and basically helps save the human race. Everyone faces these internal struggles often throughout their life. As simple as getting too much change back at the grocery store or fast food joint, people have to decide what to do and this is sometimes a great battle for people. i feel like this episode can vaguely relate to everyone that watches it.

Okay, so in class today we watched "Measure of a Man" from Star Trek the Next Generation. I thought the episode was very interesting. This episode focuses on the problem of human rights and more significantly what decides who or what has a soul. This question interested me a lot because in my Philosophy class last quarter we discussed the issue of souls, but it was more so on the premise of do we, as humans, actually have souls and what a soul really is. What does it mean to have a soul? If our body dies does our soul live on? If not then what is a soul? If our soul lives on then does that mean there's a god? This is a very controversial topic that was brought to life by this episode. There are many philosophers that spend their entire career arguing this and writing countless papers and books on the subject. I really like how the episode attempts to take on this subject so bluntly. The episode seemed to conclude that consciousness, self awareness, and like feeling or something like that. I feel like that's a very bold statement made by the producers and writers of the show. This episode also discusses artificial intelligence and whether a man made thing can be considered human or have a "soul". This topic was also brought forth in my philosophy and is highly controversial. It was determined in the episode that this man-made robot, so to speak, was deserved the right to choose. Based on how Data was i guess that's a decent decision, but that is what the episode leans toward and wants the audience to agree with. This is a very wild episode in the way they take on such insane, unanswerable questions. I do like that about this episode. The people in charge of the show aren't afraid, and i'm sure a lot of criticism was placed upon these great controversy laiden episodes. It really makes me interested in what other topics of human interest this series takes on.

So i truly hate watching television episodes online, it takes forever with all the buffering. It has to buffer like every 5 minutes, and it just makes the episode hard to follow or care about. So, I wonder how long before Battlestar Galactica the show Caprica takes place. I noticed they still use the word frakking, and since lingo seems to completely change every couple years it seems like the two shows occur really close together. Basically what happens in the show is this girl blows up a train after being recruited by a virtual gang. Her parents then go on a tv show to convince Caprica that their daughter is not a bad person. It is potentially partially the fathers fault since he is designing the technology that the gang thrives. Somebody almost has the wife assassinated, but it gets called off. I don't know how this episode could connect to the real world. Possibly just the fact that people go through really difficult things sometimes. Possibly that people have to deal with being blamed for stuff that they didn't see coming and couldn't stop. Maybe the message is that life sucks. I don't know. Though this is based exclusively off one episode from each series, I feel like the show pushes too much to be like BSG. I did enjoy Spence from the King of Queens being on the show, best part. I thought it was absurd the way the cops busted in the school with a warrant. That was completely not the way it would go down. The school would just cooperate. The school has nothing to gain or lose.

Okay, so we watched an episode of Battelstar Gallactica today in class. It was entitled "33". I thought it was a mildly interesting episode. Basically, humans are running from robots, go figure. They determine that one of the ships that are in their fleet is being tracked somehow, so they shoot it down. This is very controversial. This, obviously, is an example of doing something you really don't want to do, but you know that you really have to. For people with specific moral values when they hit a car in the parking lot and no one is around, they don't want to, but they leave a note on the car with their information. Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do for the greater good. I thought it was interesting how the fleet could feed and have enough water for nearly 50,000 people for that amount of time. Probably some wild technology. I thought the faster-than-light drive was interesting. It's a neat concept at how to travel really fast, as opposed to just being able to go that fast at any time you want. I don't really know what to think about that Baltar character. He is kind of coming across as a potential mole in the series, possibly a great protagonist. It would be interesting to see his character develop throughout the series. I also find his hallucinations pretty crazy. There are a lot of unexplained things that happened in the episode. It would be interesting to see another episode.

Yeah, so i don't like poetry really. I heard this poem in one of my classes this quarter, it's called "Invictus" by William Ernest Henly. I do really like the poem, as far as poems go. I really like the ballsy feel of it. It's sort of like the person speaking is just completely fearless and "unconquerable" and i don't know. the speaker sounds like a cool dude. I think i can relate to this poem, or would like to think i can. Here it is:

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.





I really like the dramatic tone of the poem. It adds a lot to the poem. The diction really adds to the tone. Has some really cool words. I guess if i had to write poetry i would write stuff similar to it, maybe. The poem feels kind o dark and a little depressing. I really like the length of the poem. It's the perfect length.

blog 23

Alright, so we watched an episode of Dollhouse in class today titled Epitaph One. It was very interesting. I have never seen an episode of this series so I was pretty unassuming. It seems to me like somehow the world ended or nearly ended because of this crime syndicate that takes people, basically deletes their minds, and turns them into whatever the client wants. They gave mega-rich people the opportunity to have basically whatever they wanted in another person. It's a really strange concept: to basically create your own human. I really wonder how this service for the mega-rich would have this major of an effect on the entire world. Then again, perhaps it's only in America and not the entire world. The show kept me interested throughout, so i was pleased with that. I thought it was kind of strange that that "doll" woman was just roaming around that underground building place. That was kind of eerie also. Overall this episode did make me more curious in the show. I think it would be nice to have more back story on the show, it would be nice to see the first couple episodes. I thought how not only could this Dollhouse organization erase and upload memories into a person but also how they could also put an entire persons memories and feelings into a completely different person. It's a really intriguing idea. The fact that they kept calling this place they were trying to reach "safe haven" interested me a lot. The show seems to have some promise.

blog 22

I thought this episode was pretty interesting. I thought the alternate realities Buffy was experiencing was really cool. It never did become clear which reality was the real one that she was actually in or even if there was a real "reality". That's kind of confusing to talk about. In the end it seemed she just chose the reality that made her the most happy. Naturally she would choose the one where she has friends and where she isn't a freakish mental patient. I don't really understand why she would assume in the first place that the reality where she is a mental patient is her true "reality". I would think she would think they were just visions after getting attacked by the first monster in the beginning. There is a chance there are other clues in some other episodes throughout the series. I never realized that Buffy was intimate with Spike, the other vampire dude. That sort of blew my mind. He looks a lot older. It was really shocking to me when Buffy, after all these experiences with her friends, could just turn on them so easily by just a couple of crazy visions. That was very surprising. She just decided that they were just figments of her imagination, which is a crazy thing to pull out just like that. It seems like it would be a lot easier to see the mental patient situation as the fake reality. I was also wondering where Spike was when Buffy was beating up all her friends. I feel like he was convieniently left out.

Perception is in the Eye of the Beholder

Perception is a very crazy thing. The way one person looks at an object depends on many variables. The way different people see different things is a very cool thing. We each can evaluate any situation in any of numerous ways. In the show Firefly a girl names River and a guy named Jubal are very perceptive and in-touch with their surroundings. They each evaluate different objects in completely different ways. River sees a gun as a twig and Jubal sees a different gun as pretty and it has a good weight, and he acknowledges and evaluates it as a killing machine. This is a very crazy differential between the two comparisons. How can one person see the a gun as a twig and another person see it as a pretty killing machine? This proves that perception is a very wishy-washy term. Perception can mean a lot of different things. What it is generally used as is a way a person interprets what they are seeeing at the time. This is why sometimes there is no one right answer when two people are in an argument. Each person sees the situation in a different light. Perhaps if two people lived together and grew up with each other than they would perceive things similarly to each other.216 However, it seems like this way be impossible to know. What we do know is that every person is different and every person sees things in a different way from each other. it is almost unfathomable to think that two random people could feel the exact same about anything. There are so many variables.

I did the draft for the Common Place paper. What i did for the draft was basically just cut out the the less relevant information, as well as, the facts that wouldn't be very important to someone that hasn't seen the show. My thesis is still about perception and how people can view the same thing in many different ways. My paper is still kind of long standing tall at five pages, however; I do have a decent amount of work to do on it. It is only the rough draft. I would like to make the Common Place paper a little more light-hearted than my original paper, which talks a decent amount about haunting, eerie issues or qualms that some up in the episode. also the Iraq War is one of the big connections to the real world in my Analytical Research Paper, so yeah ideally I would like to maybe just cut that out altogether I don't really know yet what direction I will go in. One of my arguments is about the 88 defined constellations. It's about how someone named these constellations to look like something, and most of them look like nothing.There's one constellation that's called Crusades, it's supposed to depict a battle scene during the Crusades and it's just two stars.I definitely want to make my paper less about the episode and more about the connection to the real world. I'm considering dropping my first paragraph that talks about Joss Whedon and how he created the show as well as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. It seems kind of unnecessary to have in there. I need to make the summary more concise. It's pretty descriptive and most of it should probably be left out. My final argument, aside from the Iraq War and constellations, has to do with how artists perceive things they paint. How two different artists can paint a picture of the ocean and have them look nothing alike. I'm probably going to end up not using a couple of the sources I used for the ARP. So yeah, that's basically what it's looking like for me right meow.

Movie

Well, i really like the movie "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". It's a classic, starring John Candy and Steve Martin. I would call it Steve Martin's best flick. It's a really funny movie that also hits at other emotions. Steve is trying to make it home for Thanksgiving and he runs into Candy. Candy is not what he appears to be as a person. It's funny and touching at the same time, and John Candy is the man so the movie is very solid. 10/10.

19 paper prob

So im having a problem with the flow of my paper. It just doesn't necessarily make the best transition from paragraph to paragraph. I' currently trying to make adjustments. I really don't know what else to discuss. It's not a very complex issue.

I did 18 first, here's 17

The episode of the original Star Trek I watched was "Turnabout Intruder". The episode starts when the Enterprise receives a distress call from a nearby planet. When they get there the they see three people. Kirk knows this woman Lester. SHe is crazy because she never received her shot to command a star ship because she, she believes, she is a woman. This has driven her mad. She gets kirk into this device to switch minds with him and become kirk. She finally achieves her goal of being a commander on a star ship. She, however, being crazy can't control her rationale and is eventually discovered to not be the real Kirk. She attempts to kill her old body(kirk) several times failing.
I believe this episode clearly reflects on the struggles women have in society. Qualified women would be turned down for whatever they were attempting to do just because of their gender. This becomes far more relevant when you consider that this show was aired in 1969. At the time a womens right movement was taking place. It makes a lot of sense given the era. This message is very clear. She wanted something so bad, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was very delusional and tried to change it by herself. There have been many women that attempted to take a stand for something and change it completely. Rosa Parks tried to change the world by not relinquishing her seat on the white mans section of the bus. There was injustice there and injustice here.

blog 18

My thesis is still unser construction. It's something about objects and how you perceive them. In the episode i watched "Objects in Space", both River and Jubal, the ruthless bounty hunter, take in their surroundings and the objects around them. River sees a gun as a twig and basically a meaningless object while Jubal sees it as a beautiful piece with a good weight and hints his pleasure about its intended use. Bottomline you can look at anything and see it how you want to, and this reflects on who you are and what kind of person you are.

Blog 16

The song i choose is called "Ocean" by John Butler Trio. This song is a "conversational piece" with no words. It's awe inspiring and soul touching. It's the most gripping, intense piece of acoustic guitar ever recorded. The song will talk to everyone that listens to it. It will tell you what you need to hear. It will lift you up and make the day yours. The first time you hear it, please, go to youtube and listen to the live at Federation Square version. Watch the whole video. Watch this man, John Butler. Turn up the volume. Make sure you watch the whole video. Is this man one of the greatest musicians alive, I believe he is. I said This song has no words, what this song actually has is implicit lyrics and they're different and wondrous for everyone.

I believe this the blog where I have to talk about something. So, I've decided to write about this art project. I took art 205 intro to drawing, and I forgot i hate art and am terrible. It's an easy class though and were doing this project on an artist. Knowing nothing about art, naturally, I googled "cool artists" and "really cool artists". I really couldn't find any that were really cool, so i typed in "ocean paintings" and finally found these cool paintings.




So yeah, I thought those were especially cool. It's nice to get a new and different perspective on something like art. He says his paintings are a "metaphorical" journey. Pretty cool.

Women deserve to be treated equally to men. Women are treated unequally today because in the dawn of man strength was the most important physical attribute. Men had to hunt and attain food and protect himself and the family. This is not the case today though. We go to the store and anyone can use a gun. Women in the present day have no reason not to be considered equal to men, yet in many cases including in the show Firefly, women are looked down upon and considered weak by men.

Blog 14

This article talks about the episode "Hush". It was a mildly interesting article. "Sex, death, and politics- these are the topics I've hovered over and taken a stab." I feel like this quote has a lot to do with the Joss Wheldons style of writing. Politics has a lot to do with his television shows. The interactions with different people force many different situations to arise. In the article there was a reversal of roles, in that the princess saved instead of being saved.

blog 12

So I read "Grimm Realities" and thought it was okay. A quote I think can help interpret this article is "We both know there are real monsters". This article is about the tie in with fairy tales and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Joss Wheldon knows what he is doing. He clearly is a scholar in literature. I thought it was very interesting how Joss incorporated these historic fairy tale references into the plot of various episodes. I found the descriptions of the actual fairy tales very facinating. It's cool how he descretely references classic fairy tales. It's interesting how the author mentions the theme of isolating children in fairy tales and in several Buffy episodes. In both the children are the only ones that encounter the real monsters. It's a very interesting article.

Blog 11

In the episode "Hush" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, strange creatures come to town and try to steal peoples hearts. A significant part in this episode is when the "leader" guy of Buffy, the witch, and the other Buffy crew receives a sketch of the creatures invading the town. He is able to identify them with his vast knowledge of fairy tales. Buffy then goes on patrol and ends up destroying the voice box in a fierce battle with the creatures. She then comes face to face with another problem, Riley is battling these creatures too armed with some futuristic assault weapon. They later decide to have a talk. This scene shows that if you really dig someone it is way easier to be upfront and honest. They could have teamed up in the beginning and taken care of business in a much easier manner. This is totally applicable to the real world. Pete Rose really liked baseball but lied about betting on it for too long and now is forever banned. It's better to just be real all the time.

Why are men not taken as seriously as men? version 2.0.

Proposed in my two page analysis was the question: why aren't women taken as seriously as men? This is a very difficult question to boil down to one particular time or place. Throughout history it seems like in most cultures women have always been the second priority to men. Men have had the best jobs and highest positions in society. I suspect that this has very, very ancient roots. In the dawn of man kind strength was an extremely important attribute. Men needed to hunt to gather food, they needed to protect themselves and their family, when the trend from hunting and gathering switched to farming men had to plow the fields. Strength was key to survival. Since men are physically stronger this made them more prominent and more, in a sense, respected.(135) There are tribes and various cultures where women and sometimes especially mothers are the most respected members of the community, but it is definately not especially prominent throughout history. You would have to assume that there should be more places like this. There should be more cultures of this sort. There are so many people out there. All these people divided into their own cultures with different beliefs, a higher percentage of these should recognize women as the dominant beings.Just the odds of the whole situation, there's millions upon millions of people at any given moment throughout history and for a large, and very non-proportional percentage of the time men just end up dominating the civilization. Things these days are evening out somewhat, but honestly would anyone think it would take this long for both genders to be treated equally. Not to mention were not even completely equal currently.

Why are women not taken as seriously as men?

Another primary source that i am considering doing for the analytical writing project is the episode of Firesly where Saffron tries to steal the Serenity. she does this through manipulation and seduction. She blindsides everyone on the ship by acting completely innocent then goes on to poison the captain and almost succeed in taking over the ship. A key part in this episode is when Saffron poinons the captain. It's basically the climax, where you can see the direction of the episode. This episode mkes very clear that women are very powerful and a main component to the show. there are also random comedic undertones, as in all episodes. this makes me wonder why the captain isn't a girl. it seems somewhat natural

blog 8 primary source

One possible episode I am considering ot write my analytical writing paper on is episode 14 of Firefly "Objects in Space. In this episode you get an intense feeling right from the beginning that the doctors sister, River, is a very unique person. A bounty hunter has come after her to claim the reward being offered by the alliance. The bounty hunter beats everyone on the ship but can't find river. Finally, River comes over a com system and says that she is now the ship. Eventually it is discovered that she is actually now on the bounty hunters ship. She formulates a plan with the recovering crew still on Serenity and they eventually push the bounty hunter into space.

The significant part in this episode is when River lets the bounty hunter know that she is in control and that she is the ship. This is key because the whole episode the hunter was dominating everyone on the ship. At one point he says something like "men are way more powerful then women", then ironically gets essentially killed by a womean. There is a pattern of outrageous comedic relief points. The captain asks the bounty hunter if he's with the Alliance, and he says "am i a lion, well i never really thought of myself as a lion but i have a strong roar". the captains like i said alliance. and the hunter is like "oh no im not with the alliance". It is also determined that the mechanic is not a lesbian because she is now into the doctor A very interesting part in the episode is when the bounty hunter looking on the shephard that he knocked out says "Pff, that's not a shephard", with no further explanation. That part really confused me and i would like to know more about it.

The JO

On west 11th ave sits an airplane hanger-esque building, Jesse Owens South. It's conveniently located close to most of the freshmen dorms on south campus. The JO is divided into four main secions: the weight lifting section, cardio section, basketball area, and of course ping-pong. There's an impressive array of equipment there so that everyone can get their desired type of workout. The great variety encourages kids to come out and check it out, and idealy start a work out regiment. The b-ball courts are separated from the other three sections by a huge transparent plastic curtain. If you want to ball til you fall this is the ideal location, games are typically going on at all times in the afternoon. Don't try to sneak your non-Ohio State friends in the side door, alarms will sound. The ceilings are very high, giving the place an open feeling.The building itself is very unique. I would really like to know why they chose airplane hanger, possibly energy or cost efficiency? Also the pong is usually dead, but not always. Overall the JO is a great place to workout, ball, or play some pong.

This article really captures some important points about the show Firefly. Inara and Saffron both use the seduction and power of language to seduce and control men. In one part of the episode Inara notes to the captain how Saffron and been tought the acts of seduction, including ways to influence with language. These women are both intelligent and beautiful, which in turn, becomes a deadly combination to any of there foes or targets. These skills allow them to take advantage and reap the benefits of those that cross there paths.

Thw scene im going to talk about is when Mal first finds his "bride to be". This is an important part to the show that helps develop the characters later in the episode and i'm sure the series. Everyone on the ship believes this is some hilarious joke except for Saffron, Mal, and of course Inara. This episode shows how strong the women in the show are being represented as. Mal is seduced and nearly killed only to be saved by the women. I feel like this episode show a pattern throughout the show of strong women that can out smart and out maneuver men. I feel like the captain isn't necessarily the most important member of the ship and this episode shows that.

Blog 4.5 episode 4 Buffy the Vamp

life.

Buffy slayer del vampires

So I watched the 4th episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was a pretty boring episode. Again there's an element of surprise with a new substitute teacher that turns out to be a vampire. The episode is very predictable. I wish I had watched a different episode or show so I could have more to say. There are metaphores used with the substitute teacher. I don't think it's a very well written episode.

Hell High

Obviously metaphores were the main idea in the reading. The different horror creatures represent various social groups seen in any given high school. It's kind of interesting how the writer viewed different groups. In Buffy the Vamp Slayer, Buffy is a small girl that destroys vampires, which is unexpected. Basically you just need to keep your mind open, and don't make early judgements.

firefly

Yeah, so i watched firefly. I found it laugh out loud funny. The script seemed poorly written. I'm really surprised that show and the television network expected to be taken seriously. However, I did find it entertaining. I thought the part where they're riding horses was pretty funny. The special effects are funny. The laser guns made me laugh. The scene that I thought was important was the the part where the girl gets out of the box. She gets woken up and discovered that shes on the ship. This is the reason the Alliance is chasing them. It's basically the climax of the episode.
