Of brothers and sisters

Heh heh heh. I watched dS's "Hunting Season" tonight. Poor Fraser, having his Luke and Leia moment there. Although at least this show doesn't go straight for the ick in that kind of situation, unlike others I could name. *looks at Carnivale* *shudders*

Eee, Jessica Steen. So awesome. I really wonder why she hasn't had more visible roles over her career; she's been excellent in everything I've seen her in.

For some reason, after this episode, I kind of want to ship Meg/Turnbull. I'm going to hell, aren't I?

(Turnbull, along with Dief, may end up becoming my favorite character. I just...the apron! The duster! The pomposity coupled with the complete idiocy! Dean McDermott is hilarious.)

Jealous Meg was pretty funny, too. Although one nitpick...why didn't she run after Maggie, instead of insisting Fraser do it? I assume she's had the same training... (Oh, wait, I know: everyone moves at the speed of plot. Right. Shutting up now.)

Speaking of Carnivale, I finished the second season a couple days ago. I'm still trying to figure out whether I'm more annoyed at or resigned to everything that went on in the second half of that season.

I saw one of these in the sky as I was walking the dogs today. It's the largest mass-produced aircraft in the world, second only to the largest aircraft in the world, period, the Antonov An-225, which is the plane that carries space shuttles around on its back.

According to this page, the particular behemoth I saw was probably transporting aircraft parts for Airbus.

...Hi, my name is Becca, and I'm something of a transport geek. You should see me with trains. (Although airplanes are easier, seeing as I live ~10 minutes from the international airport in town.)

Speaking of Carnivale, you can download all the available music from the show here, at the composer's homepage. Some of it is great; I know he was nominated for an Emmy for the second season, and he may well have won it. I especially like the "traveling music" motif, an example of which can be found on the second half of "Justin Sees the [spoiler]" (Some of the track titles may be considered mild spoilers, btw.) "Sofie Sees the Cards" and "Miracle Worker" are also lovely, and "Ben Tries to [spoiler] [spoiler]" has a nifty violin line.
