I don’t know why this cracked me up so much, but less than five minutes before Zack joins the Nightwatch, some of the most blatantly Nazi shit in this entire show where one of the major themes is fascism, Sheridan asks Zack if he ever studied 20th Century history, World War II. And Zack is just like, “Nope”. Yeah, I’ll bet you haven’t, Zack. Brilliant set up. Absolutely hysterical.

OK literally having your characters call their new department "The Ministry of Peace, or Minipax for short" like in 1984 is a little on the goddamn nose. On the other hand the Psi Corps is running around in "Are we the baddies" uniform so maybe it's a matter of taste.

minitru employee, trying to roll blunt: oh motherfucking Woe Is Me i have to track down every copy of landscaping for beginners edition 15.23.4 and replace it with edition 15.23.5 because paragraph 4 of chapter 2 briefly mentions the existence of Ireland
minipax employee, snorting 18 lbs of Victory Cocaine: eurasia is going to SHIT BLOOD when he sees my GUN THAT SHOOTS LIVE BEARS,
miniplenty employee, drinking straight perhexasulfuric acid like water because she knows suicide is pointless: I watched 3 people die on my way to work. let's put *throws dart at wall* 73% of our funding into gun that shoots live bears
big brother, speaking to me in visions: go kill the guy inventing gun that shoots live bears. scientific progress cannot be made
me, decaying at the bottom of a well, kept alive against my will by gaseous adrenaline byproducts pumped constantly into the area surrounding my hidden prison: aurgh.... miku binder nietzsche...

I totally forgot about her. She is only in that episode with the old Anna (not Laura Ingalls). And no one thought to track her down when Sheridan went rogue. They went after the parents though. Maybe she is estranged from the family and works for MiniPax.
liz is never mentioned or only barely mentioned after her 1 appearance or am i misremembering it. u never see her when sheridan thinks or talks about home or being a kid. i really think she only existed to explain how he met anna 💀 failmarriage

Nobelpreis für Völkermord - "Schiff Ahoi"
Nobelpreis für Völkermord – “Schiff Ahoi”
MINIPAX haben gestern eine Charity Single mit dem Titel Schiff Ahoi veröffentlicht.
Worum geht es? 994 Menschen sind in diesem Jahr laut Behördenangaben auf dem Mittelmeer bereits ertrunken (die Dunkelziffer ist wahrscheinlich viel höher). Aktuell sind nur 2 Rettungsschiffe im Mittelmeer einsatzbereit. Eines davon ist die Alan Kurdi, welches von der Organisation Sea Eye  betrieben wird. Die…

strawberry pound cake?
(or fresh linen if you've done that already and don't wanna again)
strawberry pound cake: what's an overdone take that you see about your f/o?
not all ingsoc takes are overdone in a bad way but people should draw him in a happier way. give him a cool outfit and make him hang out with the others. no more angst
fresh linen: where do you & your f/o live?
we live in a pretty nice apartment in London! Airstrip One has gotten a lot prettier after the rebuilding of most of its architecture. there’s a nice park and Minipax has opened a new cafe right next door :]

The more I try to adapt this thing, the more I realize how weird the environment is.
Yes, Orwell was ahead of his time; but from a post-eighties, modern viewpoint, the technology in 1984 is ridiculously inconsistent.
For instance:
Minitrue workers have text-to-speech capabilities; but they have to send physical messages to each other through pneumatic tubes (which, as I’ve previously stated, is a stupidly complicated mess) in order to use said text-to-speech.
And why the actual f*ck is Winston dialing back numbers for newspapers into a telescreen??? I thought instructions were given using the pneumatic cylinder tube??? If this is some kind of canned internet/communication system, then why don’t they just use the telescreens to transmit the papers and directions to each other? It would be so much more efficient!
However, in the context of the novel, these nightmarish organization methods work, for three reasons:
1.) The Inner Party wants the working classes to suffer.
I’m suffering just reading about it; poor Winston!
2.) The Inner Party wants there to be no chance of ”outdated information” coming back.
Paper can be destroyed forever, easily; digital records, on the other hand, are far more complicated. Things that were once deleted can be recovered using certain programs (which —judging by the technology the Inner Party uses — they definitely have created).
Certain computer glitches may also make it so that something cannot be deleted no matter how hard one tries (I’ve had apps that have done this in the past); which would be a risk as well.
3.) The Inner Party wants to keep the working classes as handicapped as possible.
By not granting them any kind of internet access (other than the back numbers), the Inner Party makes it more difficult for anyone else to learn how to access or use their technology. It also makes the records system impossible to hack or attack; so no one can use it for their own agenda or hold it for ransom.
So, the only possible way to get the Inner Party to release any part of its grip would be to physically take over one of the ministries (particularly, MiniLuv or MiniPax); which would be impossible to accomplish because of the guards’ weapons. But, theoretically, if it were possible to get into MiniLuv or MiniPax, none of the Outer Party members (or the Proles) would know how to use the computers inside; because they’ve never used any kind of computer before.
This would delay or prevent anything they might do to uncover records, deactivate systems, or learn how certain devices work (like the weird mind-reading/dream-invading(?) thing that is alluded to); thereby giving the Inner Party a better chance of rising up again.
Anyway, those are my thoughts.

In which we take a substantial detour; Minipax is no Raul Julia; Corsair tries (and fails) to retire; everything is cooler in space; vengeance is more of a vocation than a career; the Starjammers win an intergalactic war with a slide show; and we pitch some television.

Mister Sinister’s X-Gene
A detour
Space Cabbie
Starjammers #1-4
The Starjammers (more) (again)
Magneto vs. Magento
Several major galactic powers
Shi’ar religion
Sharra and K’ythri
The Uncreated (again)
Cephied variables
Standing Still
T’Cahr/Minipax
Ship names
Mustache fights
Collapsars
Corsair’s garden
Chaff mirror throwers
Several character developments which later will be ignored
A frustratingly pat resolution
