"'Good with computers', remember?"

castalieI'm supposed to work on my thesis so I've been procrastinating for the past ten minutes: first by reading the transcript of ep 2 of Welcome to Night Vale and right now by writing about Welcome to Night Vale. It's like procrastination within procrastination ;)
So, how many of you listen to the podcast? I've only recently started myself; as in I listened to the first two episodes yesterday. I was a bit curious about this new piece of media before but just on the surface, as one might get curious about something that seems to be popping up everywhere, by different people, on different platforms. Then yesterday two people on my Twitter feed, two girls without the slightest connection between them, mentioned it one after the other and I thought enough was enough, I had to see (well, to listen) for myself.
I'm only at episode 2 but I'm quite enjoying it so far. It's so strange and creepy with a nice dose of dark humour. Incidentally, it reminds me of some universes created by many of my favourite authors. I've taken to biking in the evening, I'm thinking this could be an interesting soundtrack to have ;)
Onto unrelated news, we brought our POI s1 boxset here and sat down to watch the unaired pilot. For the most part it was dialogs that had been cut not whole scenes as such. My favourite little scene was maybe when they're at the library for the first time together and Reese finds out about Finch's skills with computers. He looks at him and very deliberately takes a little notebook from his pocket, turns to a page entitled "Finch", and adds "good with computers" under "wealthy".
I just loves the way he does it, he's not hiding that he's actively trying to find out more about Finch, he actually looks pretty smug about it; he's obviously having fun with the whole thing. I also loved Finch's face. Unsurprised, amused, and ready to take on the challenge. Those two, they had fun with each other right from the start :)
Oh, and there's a whole scene that was deleted where Reese gets into an empty apartment only to find out that Finch gave it to him. So Finch gifting John with a home is a consistent part of the plot, which I enjoy tremendously, although I'll admit that I'm glad they deleted the scene. Having Finch give John a new home as a birthday gift much later in the series makes the action so much more meaningful.
So, anyway, that was nice :) Also, I realise I miss those guys a bit too much if I go too long without having them on my screen ;)
