The Prisoner: Metaphor for Marriage?
The bonds of marriage are heavy. So heavy, it takes two people to carry them, sometimes three.
The Prisoner: Metaphor for Marriage?
teacake is Nietzsche's whip?The words of wrongness here are "perfect" and "spouse" (gender toggle).
I don't watch day time TV unless it's forced on me.
The waiting area in the emergency room at the hospital usually.
But 1/2 of it seems to be the same talk show about a woman who doesn't know which one of 5 closely related individuals fathered each of her multiple children.
Honey, sweetie, darling Teacake... You are exceptional, so stop thinking that you can talk for the hoi polloi as if you were one of them.

YesIs that the kind of whip where as you're whipping it in the bowl if you stare at it too hard it stares back at you.
Oh dear!
And so we have another Kes thread hijacked and turned into some semi-pornographic BS.

Neelix would still have two lungs, and Kes would still be a slave girl.JANEWAY: I know you're disappointed, Harry, we all are. It seemed we were so close. But clearly we can't go back. It would pollute the time line to such an extent that the consequences would be unimaginable. I'm afraid we'll have to send you back alone and ask that you not reveal anything that has happened here.
TELEK: I can assure you, Captain, that I would not do anything that might contaminate the future and perhaps harm the Romulan Empire, but, in twenty years I could alert Starfleet not to launch the mission which sent you here.
CHAKOTAY: I'm afraid that's not possible either. We've already had a huge impact on this quadrant. People and events here would be drastically affected.
JANEWAY: I'm afraid we're left with our original request. In twenty years, would you relay our personal messages to Starfleet?
Oh dear!

I really liked Kes, she generally ranks third in my list of VOY characters (after Torres and Tuvok). She was a sweet and endearing character, someone they could've used far more than they did. She had a lot of potential, far more so than the likes of Kim or Neelix.
Her being axed from VOY was the beginning of the end for me.
What I disliked about her was the creepy "relationship" with Neelix, and how in the beginning she really was really only identified as little more than his girlfriend--it was only after she dumped him that she became a character in her own right, without having her role on the show being hinged on someone else (which is always a sign of poor female characters).
