TeeVee for Beginners, Friday Period Two

[chosehumanity]

"Morning, kids."

Mitchell was in an exceptionally good mood today. "Today, we aren't going to be talking about television. It's something to be watched and enjoyed, not to be spoken of endlessly." Not that he couldn't, mind, but he was making a point. "Next week, I want you all to give a short presentation on what you've gotten to enjoy most out of television. This week, you need to go over there," and he gestured at the large closet full of DVD cases sitting at one end of the classroom, "Or browse the channels in your time off. Find a program that fascinates you, something that inspires you, or makes you laugh. Then tell me about it. Team up if you wish, or do it alone. The way we experience culture can be a very personal thing."

With that, Mitchell tossed himself at his couch, and snagged a bag of crisps. It was possible he'd learned this teaching strategy from Max.

Find a partner, or pick something up on your own. DVDs are totally moddable and can range from sci-fi shows to news compilations.

The one thing Alex would have watched readily probably wasn't in the closet so he started picking through various DVDs for something where things exploded.

Penelope found a dvd that she'd watched in her last semester class. It was a good movie, she thought, with pretty music and action, and it also made her cry.

There was a nice collection of Darkest Night DVDs, and Jack was tempted to pick that both for the eye candy factor and because he already understood the show. (And still liked the "eyes and ears in the daylight" bit with a love not as ironic as he liked to pretend.)

He pulled one season to hold in reserve, but kept looking, just in case something else would catch his eye.

Zack picked through the DVDs until he found a bunch of best-of sports moments. Those might come in handy sometime!

And so sports it was.

Sam found vampire snuff porn in a Laurel & Hardy case a movie about guys who stole cars. He liked cars. Plus, stuff blew up.

Sam was such a guy.

Something blows up, or romance? Blows up, romance?

Dinah split the difference and picked up meta for Terminator, and Ratman Returns. Yay for F/X and heroes.
