- Did you watched Butterfly?
- yep.
- It was cool
- what do you think? I loved the episode
- finally some action!
- The thing with the shuttle covered was eerie
- Yeah, and I didn't know its just a shield,
- Hey, what happens when it rains and the shield is not up? :-)
- they get wet
- did you watch Butterfly?
- Yes, I did.
- Very interesting, Taelons are not nice, so is Da'an not nice too?
- Do you like it?
- Yes, it's getting better.
- It wasn't clear, did Da'an know?
- I like Da'an, but there's got to be something more than
what's on the surface.
- next weeks look kick a**
- Exactly, that's the hook, does he or doesn't he?
- Yes, looks like its getting better!!
- Mr. Wooden seemed better too.
- Hard to tell if Da'an knows.
- Keep wondering if its all a front with Da'an.
- This week's was like an X-Files ep
- how so?
- Butterfly is like an X-Files ep?
- yep
- If it's like the X-F I'll like it
- What type of experiment was the Taelons doing with that thing?
- Yes, it was kind of like X-files.
- Actually there was an episode where loggers were
attacked by killer lightening bugs
- I liked that one.
- To determine the limits of Human pain endurance
- They wanted to see what the human body could stand.
- Its pretty scenery too.
- Oh, I must have missed that. I gotta to rewatch.
- That's pretty awful!
- no, the ep I was describing was an X-Files ep
- to test human endurance -- that's an X-Files ep?
- no, the bugs was.
- The way they went about it, was.
- Exactly, the bugs.
- I really like Lili's clothes so much better than Anne's.
- I like Lili's clothes, period!!
- I didn't care for her brown outfit
- i like Lili's clothes too.
- I didn't care for the brown either. Not a good color for her.
- Didn't notice the brown that much until tonight.
- I noticed that she wears brown a lot too. I liked
the skirt outfit she wore last week.
- She wears that Jacket a lot
- Last week, she was wearing brown too
- I like her black leather jacket a lot. The short one
- Anyone been to Amish Country?
- Yes, a couple of years ago, Lancaster, PA. Toured
an Amish Farm.
- Was it pretty there?
- I've always wanted to go to Amish country, but I
havent been there yet. I have seen several Amish people in
Indiana and we have a lot of Mennites in AR
- Yes and no. The Amish are surrounded by industrialization.
- The Amish kitchen in the show was all wrong.
- And the kid had a modern rod and reel
- That was okay.
- Up until age 18 for a boy and 16 for a girl, they
can decide for themselves, some even get cars.
- But after those ages, they must decide if they are joining the church.
- I think they use some modern stuff. It depends on
how devout they are.
- They also use generators to power their houses,
Plus they use propane lamps.
- They do use modern rod and reel?
- That's true, some do get modern stuff.
- Cool
- They also don't believe in photographs.
- I used to be real fascinated by them. I did a couple of sociology papers on them
- What did you write about?
- I couldn't do it, not now, not with TV/Computers.
- I don't think I would join the church. I think I'd
go modern and say Sayonara
- I think I would get a car. From what I saw those buggies don't look just real safe
- About the Amish? Hmmm it has been a while. I think
I compared them to the Mennonites
- Back to the Amish, we were told on the tour that
only 25% choose not to join.
- Only 25 %. That shows how loyal they are to their families
- That's true, plus they probably see that out here it's not any better.
- It's not getting as much publicity as a Gene Rodenberry Production should
- No it really isn't getting a lot of publicity. Here it comes on pretty late
and I usually fall asleep while it is on
***********************
I just saw 'Butterfly' Saturday afternoon, and I had two immediate
thoughts: One, where on Earth did the first victim get that can of
gasoline? Amish people use no cars or modern machines, so why have
gasoline lying around?
----------------------------
I thought it was kerosen myself.
----------------------------
They use Kerosene for lamps and the do use Gasoline for
generators...which they can use outside of the home to help with the powering
of tools for work.
----------------------------
Secondly, when the woman drank the cleaning
solution, it was implied that she was comatose or something, and yet there
she was, good as new, at the end!
Was something amiss in continuity control?
Oh, and I'm still waiting for the "Conflict" part of Earth: Final
Conflict"....
-----------------------------
Just saw "Butterfly". Interesting EP. Decent portrayal of the Amish....It
almost made me think of home :-) I am from Amish country in PA. I remember
them talking about Paradise and Lancaster PA. I was there as recently as
September when I flew back in for my sis's wedding....I really am beginning
to grow fond of this series...I just wish "Boone" wasn't portrayed like a
cardboard cutout....If Lisa could just pass along a fraction of the emotional
depth she brings to her character and throw some Mr. Kilner's way...why I bet
the show would be much better :-) Well, that's my two cents worth!
