where's the repeat button?
Thursday, July 22, 2004

Part of me hates firefly. I hate the fact that I can't have it anymore. I watched the "season" over the a week ago, with the exception of 'Objects in Space.' I hate that ep. Not because its bad, but for the simple fact that it means it's over. I find it depressing. Part of me misses the whole "routine" of Television. Although, I feel more productive now, than ever, I miss the connection. The feeling of excitment found in a repetative aesthetic task. THIS in lies the problem. I used to work in production, why do I care? How can I an aware viewer get caught up in a tv show? And why do I feel that said show matters? As if the results of one episode will greatly impact my life in some shape or form. I look at a scene and I see the lights, the HMIs, the art department, the set; and yet somehow, I don't care. I should have read a book.

I sound pompous.

I hear you. it's like getting into a relationship with someone who is about to move away... getting emotionally attached to something that you know will end. Sure, we'll get a movie, but it will only be a breif encounter with something we love so much.

(sorry if i went too far with this metaphor... last night i saw a show called Seascape with sharks and dancer and it kinda got me thinking about this whole attachment thing.)
