Saturday nite cabin fever..

It's been an interesting day. From this evening backwards I guess.. In a few minutes we're off to a partay. Right now I am watching Red Dwarf - Quarantine. Before we had some Friends. I also got a cheap pair of new shoes this afternoon. Good stuff. Lunch. Nick was over. Fizz has been around too. I did try and lie in this morning but it left me with a sore neck/back.

Enough of the minutiae. This isn't helping anybody.

Where would sitcoms and short televisual stories be without the old deus ex machina eh? I guess if you've got a short time span and want to explore more in depth ideas whilst still retaining the situation (it's a sit-com after all) you've only got a limited number of ways of achieving that. Done well it can really enhance a story. Done badly it can fair give you jip (what's that? It was all a dream? Hurrah!).

I expect you all knew that anyway. You clever peoples.

What's your favourite deus ex machina? I think mine would have to be the ending to Enemy of the State. Although maybe that's more of a mexican standoff. Who can know?
