"Annotations: NXE 1:1"
|
LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-07 AT 02:00 PM (EST) [1] This song was an obvious choice as far as I was concerned, but it did have the unfortunate side effect of reminding a lot of people of the original video, which doesn't fit the image I was trying to convey at all. Having never seen the original video, I did not know that at the time. (Sue me, my town's cable system didn't carry MTV when I was growing up.)[65] The city in question is Kettering (2001 census population 51,063), third-largest (at the time) in Northamptonshire. The nearest village to Crofthenge is actually Hanging Houghton. [116] I hadn't read Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas at the time, but this bit bears an odd resemblance to the "Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop" passage. [138] A lot of readers - hell, most readers, if the mail we got was any indication - automatically assumed right from this first scene that DJ was just an ass. And while he does take a very arrogant attitude toward a lot of things in the early going, what people don't see until later in the season, and much more so in the second season, is that a lot of that is a cover, his way of handling a situation in which he doesn't feel nearly as confident as he seems. The trick is, he acts more or less the same when he's in a situation he does believe he can handle. It's a very well-developed defense mechanism. [230] Ken Stanfield is, in fact, Tommy Lee Jones's "K" character from Men in Black, though there's no indication that that's the character's former name in the actual movie - it was made up locally. [268] Majestic 12 is the code name, much-beloved of UFOlogists and other conspiracy theorists, of the secret committee formed by President Truman in response to the UFO incidents of 1947. In NXE it was a forerunner to X-COM. [412] As we will learn much later, Gendou means his son Shinji. [473] This is more than just the momentary fancy of a young man with a romantic temperament: It's the beginning of Rei's celestial attunement to DJ, though neither character understands enough to recognize it at the time. [541] No corporeal being can touch the blood of an angel with impunity. [619] Shepard's Prayer. [706] And, more to the point, somewhere in what remains of his consciousness at this stage, Lucifer now knows who DJ is... [846] I didn't want to waste any time establishing that this version of Gendou was an absolute bastard. [848] I wanted an ending song that was more upbeat than "Fly Me to the Moon", but still mentioned the moon. The fact that a more melancholy cover of the same tune was available for a later season was a bonus as well. |

Sweet deal. I was thinking about re-reading NXE the other day, thanks for putting this out. -------- We pray for mercy because we would be fools to pray for justice. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one insists on adapting the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. - George Bernard Shaw |

>Most of the hand either tingles or is entirely numb. Ah. Mine felt normal, but did not obey instructions. (The most frustrating part about that? Having to explain to the nurses and covering neurologists in the hospital, at least three times a day, that no, in fact, there was no numbness, no tingling, no weakness, and no pain - it just didn't work.) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Hutchins, Co-Founder, Editor-in-Chief, & Forum Admin >Eyrie Productions, Unlimited http://www.eyrie-productions.com/ Some people just will not listen, will they? *shakes head* Well, mine is numb, or tingles(or at times both at various points of the hand...THAT is an interesting sensation, I'll have to say) and won't really obey orders. And even when it does, at rare times, do things, they tend to be the WRONG things, what with not being really able to tell if it's in the right place. I used to be able to touch type. Now? Not so's you'd notice, since the fingers end up where they're not meant to be, if they do anything. Gott's Leetle Feesh in Trousers! |

I don't know how I missed these! Well, actually, I do; I was so focused on "Upward Mobility" that I wasn't really paying attention to what else might be new. Anyway, I'm glad to see you did manage to get these annotations together - I remember you warned that you might run into difficulties assembling the needed information due to the lengthy time lapse. Many thanks! -Joe- Lover of fiddly and only faintly relevant background detail |
