From io9 re: Lost, BSG

"Meanwhile, on BSG, the "head" Baltar and Caprica Six show up in New York a squillion years after the show's events are over, and inform the audience that God really did arrange the big Cylon/human struggle. As Head Six says, "Let a complex system repeat itself long enough, eventually something surprising might occur. That, too, is in God's plan."

In other words, even if things go in cycles, eventually something new will emerge. That's not too different from this conversation between Jacob and his evil brother, in "The Incident":

The Man In Black: They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same.

Jacob: It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.

The difference is, Lost sets up that dialectic a year before the show ends, and has spent the past year exploring it."

It only ends once.

I hate this. Just received a phone call from a firm that say they'd read my CV and want to interview me. I never applied to them directly, have never heard of them and, from their website can't work out the job they are even offering. The email that we arranged on the phone to have me receive doesn't clarify. Is it admin, it is sales? - could be either. I would phone them, but I am in no mood, so an email is in order: this strategy that 'marketing' companies have of keeping their prospective drones on the back foot by disclosing no information about their activities is very tiresome, and I ain't turning up to an interview unprepared.

So what do I hate? Job sites. I never should have ticked the "make your CV available to recruiters" box. I am not well qualified enough to be headhunted; these fuckers are after my balls.
