Keepin' up with the medias

Finally I have watched Inception! Now I have two questions:

1) ...Um, isn't this on the same order as writing sexytiems fic for, like, Perfect Blue? Which Inception reminds me of more than Paprika; one doesn't much mistake the dreamscapes in Paprika for reality.

2) You have a choice: I can now recount a couple of mildly TMI personal anecdotes on the topic of lucid dreaming, or I can write some sort of crossover fic about the exact same anecdotes but make it out that Sherlock Holmes conducted these experiments or whatever. Which is the more fruitful approach? XD; I mean, I think I've never blogged about this stuff, or if I have it was so long ago I don't remember it, let alone expect anyone else to remember.

I also watched Merlin S03E01... I swear I've only seen scraps and minutes of this series here and there, but between osmotic fan production and mountain ranges of historical interpretation (nearly all the "new" fandoms are like that nowadays, aren't they), I just don't feel like I've missed any continuity. I've got a very short decision flow chart in my head: IS MORGAUSE STILL HOT -> YES -> KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON THEN

I did think it was hilarious how Nolan stacked the deck ridiculously to keep you from having to worry about moral implications (because that's not the part he wants you to pay attention to). XD We're not brainwashing the dude, we're giving him free therapy and helping him resolve his issues! Oh and if we don't, he will end up monopolizing the entire energy supply of the planet or something and the economy will be destroyed.

Actually, there's more than a little whiff of Alfred Bester about the whole thing. That and the dead wife plot is a pure rehash of Momento. >_>

I wasn't sure I really believed Saito about the energy threat, but since is proven to be an honorable dude at the end, I guess I was supposed to. XD
