More PoG Screenshots, Anyone?

teddogSo, I had all these plans that I was going to come home and work on fandom stuff, like Signal Loss and my half of an art trade with Steff. BTW, you can see her adorable half of the trade here, which is a continuation of our strange crossover that doesn't make any sense, but is pretty darn amusing for us, which is all linked here. It'll probably continue whenever I'm bored of spamming AU fic across ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Back to this evening, everything was fine until I reached Eglinton. And then I got stuck in the middle of a snowstorm that plugged up my bus ride home. Five blocks taking thirty minutes on a bus? We had it. So, I had to walk most of my way home if I wanted to get there before midnight. It wasn't long, but have you ever walked more than ten blocks in a nasty winter storm? It kills any will to do something beyond eating and zoning out. Several hours later and I'm still not feeling 100%.
I did manage some screencaps, which is the lowest possible effort from me. I think this month is cursed. These came from a DVD I got a while back, before the hard drive crash. Most notable is the first episode of season two, for reasons that the series was just starting to settle into its final form, and clips from a pledge drive, where you too could get a Prisoners of Gravity t-shirt for the small donation of fifty bucks. You know you want it. Oddly enough, there's a short in-character clip included.
Anywho, here we go: Pledge drive and Season two, episode one.
Welcome to season two! While it lacks the lame video effects from season one, early season two is kinda quirky.
I don't remember "Loading Tape" from later episodes. My memory is like swiss cheese, though.
Really only capped to show off to Steff. She knows why. We're dorks like that.
I may use this on Signal Loss. While it's supposed to be a visual explaining that media is adapted from one form to another... come on! It sums up PoG in a screencap.
More strange onscreen silliness.
The introduction of Nan-Cy:
... she's pretty much Nan-Cy from the get-go, but Rick gets her name wrong and calls her "Nano-Cyber 3000". Outside of being mentioned in text in the opening and closing credits, Enrico doesn't appear at all. He doesn't even talk over the closing credits.
How many references can you spot in this?
Early signal loss. Because season one isn't a "pirate broadcast", it didn't have all of the onscreen references.
And now, for the craziness that is the pledge drive.
It opens with this strange little in-character bit. Commander Rick tries to make a pledge, but can't because he doesn't have a credit card.
I think this was filmed on Valentine's Day. There's so many tiny things in this shot that are funny, so I'll let you find them.
This shirt is so amazingly ugly. If you think that's bad, you should see the tote bag.
THERE we go. Notice that it's a white shirt. According to what Rick says, the shirt offered during season one was the black one, but it was switched to white for season two.
This is surreal. Rick is explaining the shirt and the main pledge host turns to him and comments about how much time Rick is spending promoting the PoG shirt compared to the TVOntario tote bag. I think it's a joke. I HOPE it's a joke.
That's what I have to share tonight. I really got to get off my butt about Signal Loss, as the site is going to be SEVEN next month. According to wedding anniversary charts, the gift for a seventh anniversary is supposed to be wool, copper or desk sets. So, please send me sweaters, pennies and pencils! I don't have an exact date for Signal Loss's lauch, so its birthday falls on whatever week the Hamilton school board gives their students off for March Break; I launched the site sometime around my spring break in grade 12. This year that's March 10 to 14.

Not today I fear, though! Though I'm free for lunch next week if you want to try C'est What.
