And even in Atlantis of the legend
The night the seas rushed in:
The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves...

I was reading Vanity Fair and they started off an article about classism with the lines from this poem by Bertolt Brecht and I said to myself, "Self, if we read SGA, we'd really really want to read a story about this. It's a good thing we are exercising restraint and don't have visions of Rodney in a toga, standing on some desk in a lab, water seeping in rapidly, and him screaming at the top of his lungs for John to come and save him. Huh. Yeah, despite whatever cackling you're hearing from serialkarma over a show I don't watch, I now have visions of John in a canoe sailing through the halls of Atlantis to come and save his master, because you know, John's just playing master/slave to save his country/planet/dog from being neutered.

Wow. I am really jacked up in the brain. Discuss. And then link me to the place where I can read this story already written by someone else.


ETA: BSG is back in two weeks. I just have to be strong a little while longer. Lee will not forsake me. I am dreaming of a sweaty, dirty Helo. Kara! [insert whimpering here] HELP!

Hee, it was the one on the beta, about character X sounded like she'd been brainwashed by Tom Cruise!

And don't worry, I just laughed and left the line in! I did remove my curly breath simile though, because how could I resist using your pubic hair suggestion?! *g*

LOL. Yes, well, being brainwashed by Tom Cruise is the new black apparently. Pubic hair in a children's story! Excellent!
