caprica

capricious, perhaps, and quite Hollywood, as the fate of humanity and the galaxy is in the hands of a high school girl once again… save the cheerleader and save the world… is it the titillation of underage sex?... is it some innocent idealism about children saving the world?... and a child shall lead us?... is it the market demand?... of course it is, but why?...

anyway, the whole battlestar gallactica saga and end of humanity started with a high school girl who was, naturally, a computer genius way ahead of her time… but perhaps the saddest fact of all is that I was sitting here minding my own business doing work from home when I took a break and read something somewhere online about the next pre-quel to battlestar gallactica and found a link to a hulu recording of the pilot episode and I watched it and now, I want to see where the story goes… the what is life and who needs religion and stupidity of power hungry humans and digitizing the mind for download onto a computer chip and artificial intelligence and immortality and all the sci-fi thinking has me wanting more… I’ve been starved for sci-fi a long time, what with not having cable for almost two years…

and the school girl uniforms have nothing to do with it, even as I laugh at the sexual teasing under almost everything in media advertising and hollywood, but seriously, even if I was sixteen and met the girls on the street, they are not my type…oh, I’m so finicky… or is that capricious? :)
