Una serie animata instabile

La serie robotica che vede protagonista il gigante conosciuto come Voltus V è sempre stata caratterizzata da una certa instabilità, nella versione italiana. Tale instabilità si è manifestata su due livelli. Il primo livello riguarda i doppiatori: numerosi personaggi hanno spesso cambiato voce in corso d’opera. Il record spetta a Gepi, il pilota dall’uniforme blu (colore che da sempre individua l’antagonista del leader, colui che ne contrasta di frequente l’autorità). Lui ne ha avute addirittura tre: una negli episodi dall’1 al 13; una negli episodi dal 14 al 26 (un giovanissimo Francesco Pannofino); una negli episodi dal 28 al 40 (non conto il 27, perché lì Gepi non parla). Il secondo livello riguarda il comando vocale delle armi di Vultus. A parte il Roller Plat ed Excalibur, la spada del colpo di grazia, tutte le altre sono state definite in almeno due modi ciascuna. Se da ragazzo questo mi disorientava, da adulto mi conferma invece l’approssimazione con cui gli adattatori italiani hanno sempre trattato queste serie. Meno male che adesso hanno cambiato atteggiamento. Almeno credo. Perché le serie contemporanee non le seguo tanto.

the vampire conflict in new moon is so... so stupid to me, from start to finish.

the cullens leaving bella on her own? when alice knew about the consequences of such act??? that makes zero sense to me. like yes, bella hanging around vampires is dangerous! yes, if you dig a little it does make sense! but does it really? dig deeper.

carlisle, dearest dr. fang, giving in to edward's dramatic request? not asking alice to tell him the consequences this will have on bella? listening to her talk abt what she saw and brushing it off as smtg minor? esme agreeing with that? esme, known for her compassion, for being caring, for loving others?

rosalie i can get behind: she's not friends with bella, wants her to live a long, healthy, vampireless human life -- and jasper afaik gives zero fuck as long as alice's with him. but? emmett, whom bella literally considers a brother at the very beginning of the book? he's v happy-go-lucky as shown in midnight sun, but he'd at least have shown concern a few times, wouldn't he? a big brother comes back to check back on his sibling from time to time, even if he did wrong -- makes sure that his little sister is doing okay, even after all the wrong his family (his brother) have caused her. and alice... introduced as bella's best friend at the beginning of the book; shown to be V clingy when it comes to bella in midnight sun... alice, a literal seer, who Knew what was going to happen if (When) they'd leave, who knew bella enough to get glimpses of her future even from afar -- who must have seen thousand of futures, and none of them good. she must have known that bella simply being alive wouldn't be enough, that she'd suffer greatly through it all -- so why? why? why????? why does she leave too?

edward is #3 that i can understand bc he's dramatic as hell, hates himself, hates his condition. fair enough. but you're gonna tell me that none attempted to talk some sense into him????? as if the entire family suddenly leaving doesn't make it suspicious! makes it look like they've committed a crime is what it does!!! edward could have gone on his own, like he'd done before. doesn't matter that the cullens were there or not. they're vampires, aren't they? can just lock their house and never talk to her. pull a post-van-scene and make it seem like she's lost her mind. even better! carlisle probably knew abt billy being wary, worried for bella -- could have just given the man a call and told him, 'hey, we need bella to stay away from us, but we can't leave, that'd be suspicious, can you like, do something?' which is awful! of course! absolutely awful! but why would the cullens just hecking leave!!! why!!!!

even if it Weren't edward's request... and they just had a nice little reunion around the table they never use like they did in midnight sun... tell me why exactly they didn't care about bella. decided to check up on her from time to time. gave her a few signs of life. was that too hard? was that too damn hard? it wasn't, but sure seems like it was!!!!!!

anyway. moving on. the other thing that annoys me to no end is the ending. it all goes so fast, and so? awful? bella leaves while charlie's at the funeral. his best friend's funeral. the man is grieving, terribly, probably expects to at least have the company of his daughter once he gets home -- some warmth to reassure him, to embrace, to tell him that it's okay, it's fine, everything will be okay.

but he comes home to an empty home. no bella, just like in the first book -- a mere note to tell him about the situation (the tip of the iceberg, actually). this man can't grieve! this man must worry about his daughter! this man has none to contact, because the cullens are gone! and bella is too busy trying to save edward's shiny behind to pick up the damn phone! it's an awful, awful decision bella takes right there. like yeah, she has to save her vampire boyfriend! but come ON, stephenie. a phonecall wasn't enough? really? Really?? that's the excuse you went with to introduce the volturi? you could have skipped to eclipse to introduce them. they kill bree, threaten to do the same with bella -- realise the cullens are a threat, but leave in peace -- promise to come back later. easy peasy lemon squeezy, with no charlie hurtie.

ofc characters have flaws, but imo that's a v misplaced flaw that smeyer gave to bella. she crosses charlie, so many times, and she gets away with it all the time. never once reconsiders her actions, bc it's all for edward, all for herself. it's not the prettiest flaw, and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to end the saga knowing bella doesn't Once think about how much she's hurt him. yeah, she gets grounded. but does she think that through? no. edward slips into her room and she forgets abt the pain she's causing.

anyway. that's the lukewarm take of the day. annoyed and ending on a very abrupt note. promise i don't hate bella -- i just can't stand the way this book is written

Gen:Lock Identity Crisis

"Let the good times roll"

Dammit. I was hoping Cammie would go with "Wolverines"

MIGAS!!!!!!

Doc really came through there. Damn. Kinda on the fence with that though.I had already written off and mourned everyone not in a sealed mech at the Anvil.

Give it up, CaliWeller. You ain't fooling Dr. Jha. She knows something is up.

"We will taunt him a second time!" Nice battle plan, Chase.

Love the individual landing stratagies and the way each mech moves. Even without the upgrades and color schemes, you can tell who's who by movement alone. Dammit Val/entina, a 5 story tall mech should not be that damned fluid and graceful.

Oh, fuck, speaking of upgrades..... Not sure which mind on the team came up with all the nano tech applications during the fight, but I suspect they are a follower of the mad god Proteus. woooof-dah

"AND BY OUR POWERS COMBINED WE ARE-"

Cammie:"VOLTRON!"

Kazu:"COMBATTLER VOLTUS V!"

The other 3:"I have no idea what they are on about."

Yay! Backup! Go Leon! Go Miranda! awww...I really like those museums and the aquarium along Lake Shore Drive.... Couldn't have just wrecked the stadium instead?

Ok. so...... did Nemisis plant a bit of himself in Chase during the final mindmeld there? And was that a warning that there are more copies out there?

So. Guess the gang will be hanging out at area 51 with Migas..... more crazy upgrades from the 2 monkeywrenchers!

Huh. So.... expecting to see graphitti somewhere that reads " Sinclair lives!"

Well folks, time to depart this ride so they can reset for next season. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I have.

talk to me about sophie's real name!!

I couldtalk about Sophie for hours, anon! I actually have an old meta that I never published,so thank you so much for asking because I have lots to say about Sophie’s realname.

Spoilersfor Leverage’s finale:

In The Long Goodbye Job, Sophie is given areal name at last: Lara.

If we gojust by the origin, Lara is a diminutive of the Greek and Russian name, Larisa/Larissa,but both nicknames have a rich history in western culture.

In Romanmythology Lara/Lala was a nymph of the Almo River, named after her greatestflaw: she was talkative (from Ancient Greek lalein to prattle, to chat).

Jupiter set his eyes on the nymph Juturna, one of Lara’s sisters, and requested the cooperation of all Latium’s nymphs to capture her. Lara wouldnot have it and not only warned Jupiter’s victim Juturna of his plan, but also hiswife Juno. Jupiter ripped off her tongue as punishment and sent her off to Hell,escorted by Mercury, herald of Jupiter and among other things god of travelers,thieves and diplomats… Mercury raped her on the way down and the children bornby her, the Lares, became domestic deities guarding homes and cities. In theunderworld, she was known as Tacita or Muta, a goddess of both gossips andsilence (by extension, of death).

Which meansSophie’s real name literally means “blah blah��, after a woman whose tongue washer downfall.

She waspunished for trying to warn her sisters and the cuckolded woman, and had hertongue severed by the very men who gained the most from her silence: Jupiter,whose plans were divulged, and Mercury, whom she could not reject when heforced himself on her. The text is rather clear about Lara being raped: mute, she could not express her refusal.

‘vim parat hic, voltu pro verbis illa precatur,

et frustra muto nititur ore loqui‘ (Ovid,Fasti, book  ii, v.613-614)

“He takesher by force, and she pleads, her eyes replacing her words,

and fights tospeak through her dead mouth, in vain.” (quick translation mine, because ugh, I miss Latin, also errrrr, what is James G. Frazer’s translation?)

After whatis already presented as punishment, she is literally sentenced to death, walkedthere with a guard. Her new name comes from her sentence, Muta, as a reminder of what good women should be. Interestingly, thedouble sentence underlines the continuity between life and death and the idea that silence is death: silencingLara was as good as killing her.

‘duc hanc ad manes; locus ille silentibus aptus.

nympha, sed infernae nympha paludis erit.’(id., v.609-610)

“Lead her tothe underworld, this place is fit for the mutes.

Nymph ofthe rivers, she will be a nymph of inferno.”

Yet indeath, she becomes a death goddess,honoured and remembered by mortals, rather than a nymph, minor goddess ofstreams and ponds. Jupiter involuntarily grants her immortality in stories and cultsby punishing her, which is a fine example of how Greek mythology repeatedlypunished women, presenting their actions, often defensive (cf. Medusa, Cassandra), as bad behaviourthat would question men’s supremacy, yet still talked about them at length. Their ego is their greatest weakness.

So Lara waskind of a badass in a very sexist time, a woman who said no to Gods, twice,even after it cost her speech and freedom.

How cunningit is to choose for Sophie’s original name one belonging to a character who knew but talked too much, when herpresent name only embraces knowledge, both as science and experience: sophía means wisdom. Sophie aswe know her is skilled enough to navigate without getting caught a societywhich profits from women and their silence; probably because she never kissesand tells. But she talks a lot; her tongue is her tool, when she lies.

John Rogersreferred to her in The White Rabbit Jobcommentary as Loki. She flatters the people she wants to exploit andmeticulously gaslights the ones she wants destroyed; Sophie knows going head first against the system is dangerous, a lessonLara learned through pain and death. Lying is a question of self-preservation forwomen and no story tells it better than Lara’s.

Rather thaninterpreting this choice of real name as an indication of hardships in Sophie’schildhood, I absolutely accept it as an acknowledgment of Sophie’s immensepower with words, because she is a woman.The show does not often recognize the risks Sophie takes as a woman in asociety that crucifies women who are caught lying; her real name does. That’swhy it is such a show of confidence to the crew on her part, if we put asidethe love for her team and acceptance of her past self it implies: her real nameis not a tool that could break her, but it is a cautionary tale about whatcould happen if she were not as good as she is.

Anotherdetail that is also wonderful about Sophie’s real name is its popularity at thetime: Doctor Zhivago, a classic novel by Boris Pasternak, smuggled out of theUSSR and published in Russian in 1957, was translated in English in 1958 tobecome a best-seller worldwide, although it was banned in the USSR. The tale ofYuri Zhivago’s life, a poet and a physician caught in the storm of theRevolution and civil war, crosses path with that of the beautiful andindomitable Lara Guichard, his great love. David Lean adapted it for the silver screenin 1965, with Omar Sharif and Julie Christie in the lovers’ role, painting alavish, sweeping and tragic romance, rather than a reflection on the post-revolutionaryUSSR, but it became a hit, the 8th highest grossing film in NorthernAmerica and worldwide, and received no less than five Academy Awards.

Sophie’sbirth date could be approximated between 1966 and 1969, and according to thepopularity graphs of the name, the name reached a peak in the years followingthe movie’s diffusion. There is no canon indication on where Sophie was born,but it stands to reason the movie was distributed in several countries after1965 and many little girls where the movie was released would have been namedafter the romantic heroine. It seems little Lara was no exception and GinaBellman, who came up with the name, was bloody brilliant for picking it.

Lara is theepitome of the tragic heroine (and she is undeniably the majorfemale character of the story), abused by a man in her youth, pursued for her marriagewith a General and haunting the protagonist, but surviving through chaos andwars, a figure of feminine strength until the bitter end; she was governess, anurse during the First World War, a General’s wife. Sophie’s parents wereprobably fans of the movie or the book; at least had a very romantic soul, which isfitting. Lara is a fascinating character, hauntingly beautiful and tragic,caught in the wheels of history, a striking role for an actress and probably themost well-known of Julie Christie’s career.

But BorisPasternak said that Lara existed: she was his friend and lover of 14 years, OlgaIvinskaya, an editor and writer he met in 1946 while Doctor Zhivago was stillin progress. Essential to his work, muse and secretary, literary agent andlover according to some biographers, she was also sent to labour camps for herconnection with the writer and after his death had her name sullied in themedia for the same reason. Pasternak’s family did their best to paint her as anunsavory character of no importance in his life for a long time, as BorisPasternak was married for the duration of the affair.

The womanwho can’t be shown because of the way she lives her life, invisible and muted,yet immortalized by fiction, a tool of revenge and punishment for men, thistime in a political game, a muse and editor, Olga Ivinskaya seemed even moreextraordinary than her fictional counterpart, even more mysterious as well,even if the mystery is legitimate in existing as it touches the personal. Thepersonal is political and talking about Olga means recognizing her importanceto the writer and the masterpiece left behind. A narrative was crafted aroundher to use and exclude her, yet she remained and kept her voice, publishing hermemoirs in 1978. Women insisting on talking when they shouldn’t, really… Whycouldn’t she remain the beautiful Lara Guichard of the books? 

Again, Idon’t think it is indicative of a tragic past for Sophie, but it works as areminder that women are two-faced: they wear the story told about them and the story theytell. Lara, despite being Sophie’s birth name, was/became a story others toldabout her; Sophie and Annie and Indira are all stories she tells about herself.Which means they are Sophie. However interesting or tragic or beautiful Lara’sstory was, it isn’t Sophie’s anymore which is why it’s not that important toknow about Lara in details. And it’s such an in-character choice for John Rogers,the show’s creator, who firmly believes backstory is a character’s worst enemy.Of course, it is interesting to know that thereis a Lara to go with Olga, but one is a story and the other a person, andyou can’t merely explain one by knowing the other (also first rule of analysis:biographical reading of a work belongs in the trashcan). Even if the story caninform you on how one person reads another person…

In Sophie’scase, she is both the writer and the story.

And the crew doesn’t need to know about Lara’s story; they just need to know Sophie trusts them enough to tell them there is another story. Which is huge for a character like Sophie who is her masks for as long as she wears them.

So, yes,Lara is a freaking brilliant name for Sophie’s real name. It’s so captivatingto find the same duality of fiction/reality, systemic oppression and misogyny,immortality through fiction despite the cost, in Lara/Olga’s and the nymph’s stories. 

So thank you for giving me the opportunity to blabber about it!

Pasinaudokite elektromobilių įkrovimo stotelėmis namuose ir prekybos centruose.

Pradžioje įkrovimo stoties įrengimo organizavimas bus pirmosios elektrinės transporto priemonės (EV) pirkimo patikros proceso dalis. Visi kelių gamintojų įgalioti įkrovikliai bus valdomi pagal SAE J1772 standartus elektrinėms transporto priemonėms ir elektros jungtims.

 Negalite įsigyti automobilio, jei nenorite savo namuose įrengti elektromobilių įkrovimo stotelių. Pirkėjai, įsigiję „Nissan Leaf“, turės naudoti savo išskirtinį rangovą „AeroVironment“ namų įkroviklius montuoti. Jie gali įdiegti savo įkrovimo įrangą, jei pasirašo atmetimą.

 Chevy Volt standartas su 110 voltų įkrovikliu, kuris leis įkrauti tiesiai iš namų sieninio lizdo. Klientams, norintiems įdiegti 240 V greitąjį įkroviklį, SPX paslaugų sprendimai yra išskirtinis greitojo elektromobilių įkrovimo stotelių įrengimo rangovas.

  Transporto priemonės veikimo trukmė labai skiriasi dėl jų akumuliatoriaus dydžio. „Chevrolet“ mano, kad „Volt“ yra kitokia transporto priemonė, kurią galima prijungti prie elektros tinklo. GM apibūdina automobilį kaip išplėstinio diapazono EV (elektrinę transporto priemonę) su mažesne baterija. Įkrovimo cechas yra tvirtai elektrinis su daug didesniu akumuliatoriumi, kuris yra 2–3 kartus didesnis už voltus. Chevy Volts 16kwh baterija tikrai kada nors sunaudos tik 8 kW.

 Dabar į elektromobiliu ikrovimo stoteles rinką žengia daug įmonių. Įkrovimo parduotuvė buvo pradinė įmonė, kurianti ir kūrusi II lygio namų įkrovimo įrenginius. Žemė, kurią jie gavo kaip sutartį iš įkrovimo stoties, tikriausiai buvo dėl to, kad jie buvo pirmieji, kurie pasiūlė produktą. Yra daugybė kitų įmonių, kurios kuria ir kelia elektromobilių įkrovimo stoteles, sutelktas į pramoninius įrenginius, skirtus komerciniams ir komunaliniams objektams. Tačiau tai keičiasi, nes pirmosios komercinės elektrinės transporto priemonės pagaliau yra paruoštos paleisti.
