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.

"Have you ever seen Marney?" Jack asked. "It's almost as bad. People will have interesting ideas."

He tapped the two DVD cases together. "I'll get these back to you in a week."

"I used to go behind my mum's back to read that as a child," he mused, thoughtfully, then shook it off. "Interesting ideas, yeah. But that'll be fine."

"It held up that long?" Jack's surprise was mild and polite, mostly. MetaDracula had lasted, no reason the older book wouldn't, since quality sometimes didn't matter in longevity -- and he really felt a hundred and twenty-eight, thinking like that.

"I'll see you in a week, either way."

There was a momentary flicker of embarrasment as Mitchell cast it off with a, "Something like that."

He nodded. "And good luck working on that project. I know it's a horrible burden."
