PRESS GANG EPISODE 4: DEADLINE

Lynda and Julie try to work out how they will do the weather report for the following week.

The future. A scary prospect, or something you look forward to. Sometimes it the former, and sometimes it is the latter for me. I try not to think about the future too much because I never seem to be right about it. I could never be one of those fortune tellers or people who claim that they can do that sort of stuff. Firstly because that kind of thing does not interest me at all, and secondly because i find that very dishonest. I am not a huge fan of deciving people, and even if I wanted to do so I could never really keep a poker face or lie properly enough for any poor sucker to believe me at all. I could never be a Lynda, who at times has to lie to keep the paper running smoothly. It isn't pretty, but it is understandable. She wants to show that they were right in putting her in charge as editor, and so far she seems to be doing an ok job.

Another interesting thing for me was how because this show was made in 1989 they couldn't rely on computers to do their edition. They had to rely on the printers, who out of the goodness of their own hearts, let the junior gazette do a special edition of the newspaper in three hours time. This creates all sorts of problems for the team, however they seem to work well together. Pressure can do funny things to people, it can make them fold completely, or they can embrace that fear and uncertainity and do the very best that they can. The junior gazette (or jg as i will now refer to them in this and any future reviews) thankfully chooses the second option. All in all a very fun episode.​

We cant make the news Reepbot. It has to occur. But of course journalistic embellishment is expected when even trivial events occur.
Slow weeks. Fast weeks. Those damn in-between weeks. But something always will happen.
Im thinking of starting a fuzzyfunnyz spot where I report on things I have found funny on TV or the net and want to share with others.
Im not sure this would be enough to merit its own thread but maybe I could include it on one night a week on the Reepbot Report?

ok. sounds like a good idea. you are right that we can't make up the news. it has to occur organically, it has to breathe like a moon in the night.

PRESS GANG EPISODE 5: A NIGHT IN

'So where has Lynda gone to?'
'Probably gone to yell at someone.'
'Cool'

This episode continues to build on the relationship between Spike and Lynda. I enjoyed how those two were interacting here, plus there was some nice comic relief from Colin dressed up as a pink bunny rabbit. The most interesting part about this for me was watching how competitive Lynda is in this show. how she feels that she can not be beaten, or admit that she is wrong ever. Because for her that would be a sign of weakness and she would hate to appear weak or vulnerable at all. In a way that might be weaker because she is afraid to show that she can be wrong, or that she has made a mistake. She would rather keep insulting Spike than admit defeat about anything. I do not think that I could be that stubborn, well not on most things. I think you have to pick your battles, as some things are not really worth fighting for.

The second interesting thing that I saw in this episode is how Spike was really trying to impress Lynda by his cooking. He wanted to make sure that she noticed that he wasn't just some loser dumped on the jg by a school sick and tired of his antics. Spike really tried to make an effort, and I thought he did a good job of it. Lynda, who would never admit defeat or say anything nice about Spike, thought otherwise. However to be fair her mind is on other important matters on a romantic front, and dealing with spike would have only hurt her even more. Point is that even though Spike had good intentions Lynda had more important things to think about then how impressive Spike was at cooking.​

Ok REEPbot... ! Can you slow down just a tad with the Press Gang reviews. I have only managed to watch one and you have somehow reviewed five. Watch a Buffy episode in between every Press Gang review maybe?!

 

[Mooseface]

Fess up Moosenface.
You have been reporting us to the German authorities via clandestine mind-altering mooseysubterfuge.

Nööooooo! I have not!

 

[Mooseface]

No need for alarm Reepbot. No agent no matter how skilfully trained over decades from experts in the field could humanly keep up the mooseyness.
Sometimes a Moose is just a moose.
And I like our Moose.
How many forums can boast a german mooseface?
Not many I bet!

Only one I think...unless someone out there is moosquarading as a German Mooseface.


For some truly unknowable reason.

Would one review a day be better? And i shall get the buffy dvds today so i can watch them. Then i will post my non moosey thoughts here.

 

[Columbo]

Nööooooo! I have not!

You do seeem rather mooooseworthy. I believe you.

 

[Fuzz]

Nööooooo! I have not!

Obviously a moossage back to your German superiors when questioned if you had swapped allegiances that you accidentally posted here.
But for now I shall take you at your word.
I bid you good day Frau Moosenface.

As a rule I am not tooooo keen on German Authorities - or German Bureaucracy - so I think you (we) are all fairly safe! My direct 'German Superior' (my boss) is actually English anyway. Well for my main job -although admittedly my boss for my extra job, my students, is German. But he's alright. He tolerates my terrible German.

(Disclaimer: It may or may not all be a Front. For nefarious moosey Aktivitäten. Oops. I mean activities...!)

Stay away from the criminal activities but go with the wicked ones.

spy moose!

 

[Fuzz]

Hmmmmmmm. Canadians seem aware.

Moose lips clearly a covert code term for the moose communiques. Seems das Moosenface has been dabbling in counter-moospionage for some time now. Always listening and never giving anything away. I am sure there is some kind of code when Mooseface relates the weather conditions in Germany but I havent broken that as of yet.
A spy moose knows.
Moose lips sink ships.

[Columbo]
