Sayings Sundays (February 23, 2014)

The NBC show Hannibal is my favorite thing that's airing at the moment. I love everything about the show.

The main character is Will Graham who has the ability to empathize with anyone and uses that ability to help the police catch killers. Will is haunted by this ability since he can truly feel like a killer. The scenes where you see how Will gets into the mind of the killer you see him imagining himself as the killer.

Every murder he investigates, he can see himself doing it since he can empathize with others so much. That makes those scenes even more creepy.

I chose this quote to showcase Will Graham's gift and curse.

One of the songs that I'm liking recently is Human by Christina Perri. I'm not a big music person and that's why I don't review songs.

I mean if I started to review music everything would add up to: It's got a good beat. I could dance to it.

When I heard this song, well after the third or fourth time while I was marathoning it, I thought it fit my ship of John Kennex and Dorian from Almost Human (yes, I am planning to discuss it in Shipping Confessions).

I am even imaging of doing a music video of this pairing and with this song.

Besides my ship: it's just a lovely song.

The way I did the quote for the picture was as a sort of storyboard for the video I may do in the future. The quote by John Kennex (guy on the left) is identifying John as a human while Dorian's quote identifies him as a robot.

Tobias and Me 1

Author's Note: This fic is a present for a friend of mine.
--------------
My name is Tobias and it had been a very stressful day. Extremely stressful.

I dodged a Dracon Beam and managed to slice the Hork-Bajir Controller's face with my own wrist blades. I had been a human boy and then had been trapped in a Red-Tailed Hawk body. With the help of a being called the Ellimist I had regained my morphing ability. One of the morphs I had acquired had been a Hork-Bajir.

I continued to battle through the group of Hork-Bajir Controllers and worried that I couldn't hold up. Even if I wasn't trying to hide the fact that I wasn't an Andalite I still couldn't demorph during battle. Not unless I was an extremely talented Estreen.

I pushed a Hork-Bajir into others of his kind and raced down another hallway. I didn't know where I was going and none of the others were with me. Having Ax now would be helpful as he would be the one most likely to know both where to go and what to do when I got there.

Looking out one of the windows on the Pool ship I saw space with no Earth in sight. I had been running around for a little bit and had seen no sign of anything but asteroids outside of the ship.

Dammit! Hopefully what I was seeing was the Asteroid Belt and getting back to Earth would be relatively easy.

As a Dracon Beam grazed my tail I started blaming this all on Rachel. If she hadn't reacted so badly I wouldn't need to impress her. And if I didn't need to impress her I'd be in a much different situation. A situation where I'd be doing normal hawk stuff like hunting rabbits.

I sliced a Hork-Bajir open and felt sightly guilty as I recalled what the Free Hork-Bajir had told me. That they were a peaceful race and all of the fighting they now did was because of the Yeerks.

Running into a room I found a bunch of Bug fighters. I would get out of here soon and the Escafil device would be safe on Earth again. It was hidden in one of my morphs. I had been meditating with it, something I was doing recently due to Rachel's fight with me, and had gotten involved with some Controllers.

Maybe it was because of my anger and need to impress Rachel that I did something so senseless.

Whatever the case was, I rushed into the nearest Bug fighter.

After a few painful seconds I managed to close the door to the Bug fighter and heard Controllers gathering around outside the fighter. The pressure of figuring out the controls of the ship made me want to give up. But if I gave up they'd get both the Escafil Device and knowledge about the Animorphs back on Earth.

I looked around and wished that I had asked Ax about Yeerk technology. If I had maybe this task wouldn't seem so impossible.

The first Dracon Beam hit the side of the fighter and I hissed out of the Hork-Bajir mouth. I needed to focus on what I was doing.

Guessing on what to do I was able to clumsily get the fighter out of the Pool ship and fly out.

"Yes!" I shouted out in excitement right before Bug fighters came out of the fighter bay.

"Shit." I hissed and tried to dodge the blasts as I figured out the Z-space controls.

I hit a few buttons and then the scenery changed.

Now I was in Z-space and didn't know if the co-ordinates I had entered would take me back to Earth or to somewhere many light years away.

The Following "Reflection" Review

It seems Ryan Hardy might be working with the FBI again next week. Will there be more Ryan/Mike then? We can only hope!

This week we saw Lily try to lure Joe into her own cult. I don't know why Lily would want Joe but it isn't good. Maybe it's to have his child? That's the only thing I can think of, but I'm not good with mysteries so I'll probably be very surprised at the reason.

I was glad to see what happened to Max after the end of last episode. I loathed last week's cliffhanger because I was so worried.

Emma calls Lily's Cult crazy and that makes sense to me. What makes crazy is all about comparison. Usually you judge everyone else by yourself. Since you are normal it is easy to realize why Emma would call the new cult crazy. Lily's Cult is different from what she is used to.

How Joe is eventually drawn into Lily's arm was creepy. You get to see a professor's warmth doing a killer's work. Plus the whole time I was hoping Joe would resist. Maybe Joe is doing all of this to draw Lily into a false sense of security. Though his reaction before sleeping with Lily makes that theory seem very wrong.

Ryan Hardy realizes how obsessed he is and I think that's why he'll finally agree to work with the FBI next week.

Infected Vials and a New Quest

INFO FROM HERE AND HERE(only works if you got a random event)

Remember how I was getting nervous that no zombies would appear in this event? This is the Valentine's Day event that NEEDS zombies. As a zombie myself (on the site) I want new undead to join our numbers.

The good news is that you now can become a zombie! You can feel how glorious it is to be counted as an undead. You can run around laughing at how good it feels! And, yes, Steven Yeun is right about what we feel most of the time.

The thing is your glimpse into the Undead Mind is just a glimpse. It will only last a short amount of time. This is great if you're already infected (aka a zombie) since you get to experience another form of the zombie 'virus'.

You can be part of this by completing a Lost Skeleton Quest which you can get to by receiving a random event (oh, and those harvested organs you have now have a use). I've read on one of the forums that you can only get to these quests if you receive a random event and not merely by having the link.

However, don't use the first vial you get (the prize of the quest) as I have read that you only get ONE CHOICE. So keep an eyes on the forums if you don't want to take a risk as others will probably post results.

Almost Human "Disrupt" Review

This is one of the few times I was able to watch the new episode LIVE. Still haven't seen the latest episode of Helix, though. But will catch up soon so don't worry about that!

The episode title seems to be in reference to a hacker group. Yep, this week we got to see a little of the hacking world in the Almost Human Universe. And with such a futuristic setting there would have to be hackers because they exist in this day and age. Plus, with great power comes smart people that will fuck shit up.

I have read a few people bringing up theories of how John Kennex is actually a robot. I must say I like them. Not only would it be great for these thinkers to be proven right, but I would love to see Kennex's reaction when he finds out he's one of the things he hates.

Besides Kennex's humanity being questioned, Dorian's history is being questioned. A human memory (one of a child) has been found. It all ends with the usual "We have to tell him!" (said this time by Kennex) and "It is too dangerous to tell him right now!" (said this time by Rudy Lom).

I know we have to keep up the mystery of Dorian for now, but can't people find better ways of hiding things? I saw this in the recent Season of Supernatural (angel possessing Sam's body plot) and am annoyed at seeing it here.

I'd like for some reason that would make more sense for hiding things from people. Like when Donna's memory was erased in Doctor Who and the reason no one could tell her was because she would die or something.

For Dorian...something bad MIGHT happen. Of course Rudy may be hiding something from Kennex. I really hope that will be the case so this cliche would make sense.

The answer for this week's episode was heartwarming. It showed what the pain of loss can do to a person. That sometimes you get driven into a corner and think that murder is the only way out.

All in all: a very good episode and I can't wait to find out more about both Kennex and Dorian!

This Part Was The Best Thing EVER!

Harvesting Time Change

Info Found HERE

Harvesting has been a lot of fun. It's interesting to see what random item you'll get. You can even get snot! I mean...snot is awesome but why the hell would that count as an organ?

Like in real life: you only have a limited number of organs that you can give to people.

Unlike real life, however, you can regenerate your organs so you can continue to be harvested.

Until 9PM Eastern Standard Time (which is the same as Subeta time) organs will be regenerated after the brain is removed. After that time you'll have to wait three hours for your organs to be regenerated after all of them have been removed.

Have fun getting all those yummy organs!
