Today was my meeting with Collin O'Scopy

So in ME3, the true purpose behind the Reapers is revealed. So in the previous games, it is revealed the Reapers created the mass relay network and the Citadel. By leaving the mass relays around, young spacefaring races will find them and basically base the rest of their development on this "found" technology left by some mysterious ancient race. The relays would eventually lead them to the Citadel, which would make the perfect hub for galactic civilization.

At a certain point, the Reapers come back from deep space and strike the Citadel. Since its basically the capital of galactic civilization at the time, they've basically cut off its head, plunging the rest of the galaxy into chaos. And since the relays are theirs, they basically cut off all the systems off from each other, making them easy pickings. Once the reapers cull the advanced races, they leave, and the cycle starts over again with the primitive species they've left alone. Those races eventually grow and develop, find the mass relays, and it happens all over again.

So in ME3, we discover why the hell they do that. Turns out its some BSG bullcrap. The Reapers cull species before they get advanced enough to create true synthetic life, as they believe those synthetics will eventually exterminate all organic life.

I never put too much stock in something like that ever happening in real life. Well, I don't mean the existence of a super powerful ancient race culling the species of the galaxy before they get powerful enough to wipe themselves out. Rather, due to my religious beliefs, I don't think we would ever be able to annihilate ourselves. We're guaranteed to survive and live on.

So I've said before I acknowledge Faberry as crackship that will never happen. But what I find most disappointing is that after this season that finality will really hit. I mean, take Gossip Girl for example. Well, bad example, since Dair is actually happening now. But before that, at least Dan and Blair were both still around, so it was still a possibility, no matter how remote. But its looking more and more likely that even if Quinn survived the car crash, she won't be around next season.

Oh, and on 30 Rock, is it me, or does Kaylie make one feel uncomfortable, if you know what I mean? ccv('Inappropriate!')

She looks, sounds, and acts like a little girl, and she is a little girl, and you find that attractive. That makes me uncomfortable.
