Unfortunately, in this case, mistakes can lead to compromising the entire planet
Hey, there are five things in this post.
1. Latest poem to make me want to share it with people: Robert Minhinnick's "The Rhinoceros."
2. I fell in love with this painting in the spring of my senior year of college: John Roddam Spencer Stanhope's Thoughts of the Past (1859). I tried to write it into a story once, but it never went anywhere.
3. All of these answers are brilliant: The Stranger, "Men Who Rock II."
4. So after six different people recommended it to me last night, I decided to give Stargate: SG-1 (1997–2006) a try. Due to Netflix not streaming the series, Hulu requiring an account, and most of the complete episodes available on YouTube looking messed around with in some way, I fished around in the remoter regions of the internet and ended up starting my exploration of the SG-1 universe with "Inauguration" (7.20), which turned out to be a clip show and therefore not actually a bad introduction to the series. I am relatively spoiler-indifferent for media that's been around for nearly twenty years, so mostly it made me curious about the excerpted incidents, especially the ones with the downloadable alien database and the interdimensional creepy-crawlies. It also seems to have imprinted me on Robert Picardo's Richard Woolsey, whose dry bureaucratic diligence turns out not to be incompatible with a conscience or the ability to think for himself. I was reminded of the investigating magistrate from Costa-Gavras' Z (1969), albeit with a slightly shadier start point. Apparently I have to watch Stargate Atlantis (2004–2009) if I want a lot more of him. Okay, then.
5. Tomorrow I plan to buy bagels.

You're very welcome. I've always found it haunting.
