it's really not a very visual show in most ways, and it's almost like our brains just fill in the gaps and make things up to fit, sometimes.
Yes, absolutely! There is a lot of talking, but I always forget about that. (Relatedly, the cinematography is always so much better in my head than it is on the screen. Sometimes the blocking is too. If I see one more "Oooh, it's a dramatic moment. We should zoom in slowly on the character's face until we've gotten uncomfortably close!" shot, I'm going to hit someone.)
Marcus NEVER FREAKING MOVES. It was driving me insane. (For the shot I wanted, I finally went with him coming into Susan's quarters with his poster, but there's still too much talkyface. Grrr.)
And please, tell me there are crossovers with the two of them?
THERE ARE NOT!! I do not understand this! I'm tempted to wiki up the Pythia stuff and try to write it myself.
