  • You’ve probably hit upon a good metaphor for what’s happening.
    I believe each time we sleep parts of our personalities are torn down and rebuilt slightly differently.
    Whatever the mechanism, you aren’t really the same person you were years ago, you’re a different person with many of the same memories. The “self” is a useful simplification of reality. At the fundamental level, its not possible to define “you” and “not you” at a moment in time, much less across spans of time.






  • Devil in the Dark is one of the scariest episodes of TV ever.

    Ricardo Montalban playing the manipulative tyrant in Space Seed never gets old. Much better than his crazed mad man in Wrath of Khan. “Now you must ask to stay.” The rest of the episode is flawed.

    The episode where Cisco plays a 20th century sci-fi writer is Emmy-worthy. I haven’t seen much DS9, but if it’s all that good I’m missing out.

    Recently, S02E02 of SNW, a “trial” episode, was surprisingly riveting.
