"Found parts of the “Proteus” episode to be maddening in their complexity, but I remain consistently astounded by Joyce’s descriptive voice. Still believe it was reasonable to approach this tepidly (at first) but it’s proving to be quite rewarding in spite of the headiness of the endeavor." — Apr 06, 2026 02:40PM

“There is nothing more mysterious than a TV set left on in an empty room. It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming at her stove. It is as if another planet is communicating with you. Suddenly the TV reveals itself for what it really is; a video of another world, ultimately addressed to no one at all, delivering its own message.”
