Pros of writing transcripts: Holy crap, look at all these details I never would’ve noticed otherwise! Whoa, I feel 1000% more confident with these character voices! Hey, there’s a fantastic idea for an fic/meta post/audio post! Boy, I sure do love typing things… that’s probably weird isn’t it. Haha. Yeah.

Cons of writing transcripts: Trying to decipher Caboose’s dialogue.

#some… of these are words? probably? #same goes for half of sarge’s sargeisms

If loving typing things is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

So, almost right? Huh. I think I might even be more surprised than if I’d been outright wrong. I hadn’t thought “almost” was an option.

“You can’t even help yourself. That’s why you made me, Church. You made me to take on all the things you can’t handle. Just like you always have. Well, guess what: I’m gonna handle it.”

I’m currently strongly leaning towards “totally called it”, but I’m not 100% sure yet. Let’s go find out.

narwhal-noir:

I took my girlfriend to an improv show the other night and during intermission we were passionately arguing over whether half a 5 Hour Energy shot would give you 2.5 hours of energy or 5 hours of half-assed energy so we turned around to ask the opinions of the three people behind us and one of them said “Are all your arguments like this because we heard you in the lobby earlier fighting over the right way to pronounce ‘egg’?”

As of the end of 8×15, my current theory is that the Agent Texas we all know and love is Alpha’s inherited memories of the Director’s ex-girlfriend, given a mind of their own by the same process that created the other AIs. It explains why she can do the ghost thing, how she and Church can know each other from their past, why she was locked in a room labelled “Director’s Secret Project”, why the Director’s diary just referred to her as a “byproduct” *.

Tonight I intend to finish S8, and hopefully find out then how laughably wrong I am. Or, possibly, how utterly right I am. Stranger things have happened. (After watching “Day of the Moon”, my mom correctly theorised that the regenerating girl was both Amy’s daughter and child!River.)

*I watched that last bit after coming up with this theory, but it fits in pretty well. An AI convinced she’s human probably wouldn’t be able to do the kind of stuff that they were…producing the AIs for.
