this is the story of kara eating a bunch of mashed potatoes in the dark while watching lena’s ted talk, and her sister judging her. it’s set just after kara graduates college in national city. you might’ve heard about this story but you will see why it got delayed when you read. FYI: IF YOU HAVEN’T MADE IT TO CHAPTER 12 OF MYIY, you should NOT read this because of SPOILERS. if you have read chapter 12, you should be good.
“Kara, do you want to tell me why all your lights are out and you’re eating a massive bowl of mashed potatoes in the dark?”
Kara responds with a I’m not that sounds petulant and severely handicapped by the mound of mashed potatoes in Kara’s mouth. Alex reaches around for the light switch, blinking when the lights of Kara’s tiny apartment flip on.
Having just graduated from college, Kara’s apartment is shitty and supported entirely by her around-the-clock work at Noonan’s. They hardly ever see each other, considering Alex is off hunting down aliens and Kara is constantly serving drinks and food, and so Alex had thought – for one brief moment – that now was a good time to go visit her sister, even though it was late.

i love old science fiction because it’s all like “IT’S THE DISTANT YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND THREE AND MAN IS EXPLORING THE DEEP CORNERS OF THE UNIVERSE” like god bless you old sci-fi you had such high hopes for us
And then there’s The Running Man which starts with:
Oh fuq
This is why shows like Cops (which turn police action into entertainment) and MSNBC’s Lockup (which make entertainment of jail & prison inmates) and Fox’s You The Jury (where audiences & viewers could vote on high-profile cases) creep me out.
Well, it’s one reason why those shows creep me out.
Fuuuuck!! I had just recently re-watched The Running Man – ONE OF MY MOST FAVE FILMS FROM CHILDHOOD – and i can’t freaking believe I missed “By 2017..” bit….
their child would pull the draco except it’s “wait til my mother hears abt this” and it doesnt matter which mother theyre talkin abt the other person WILL shit themselves in fear
