Light! Colors! Movement!

Since I've been reading practically every waking hour for the past two days, I collapsed around nine o'clock tonight and decided that if I saw another written word I would throw the book it was in across the room. (On the upside, Dune is excellent. It's just that I've read about six hundred pages over the course of the weekend, including two hundred of Dune, and I was going nuts.) Thus, I decided that some relatively mindless entertainment was in order.

Thanks to you people and your babble about it, I ended up walking a few doors over to the Wellness lounge to watch Alias with Megan and Ellen.

You know, TV looks downright weird when you haven't seen it in over a month.

Anyway. So I was completely confused at the beginning, but I caught on quickly enough, especially with M and E explaining things during commercials. The more I saw of it, the more it looked like some strange mixture of VR.5 and Pretender, with a little X-Files thrown in for kicks. (Sloan was so reminding me of the CSM from XF with his fatherly attitude towards Sydney and the whole "Syndicate" thing.) I mean, VR.5 down to the name--Sydney Bristow, Sydney Bloom. Plus she has super-special parents who scrwed with her childhood for their own nefarious purposes, she works for a covert organization, there are lots of other organizations running around...

If I didn't have ballroom usually on Sundays (skipped this week because was working until 9 and couldn't get up the energy to go down there afterwards), I'd consider watching more. Maybe. Kinda seems like one of those things where you have to watch lots of it to really get into it and understand any greatness it possess.
