The Television
<3 Firefly - now prove you can tune into something BBC-ish, preferably with a blue Police box and a 900+ year old time traveller.

I sat there staring at the TV screen with an indignant look on my face that said "Am I expected to believe this?" all the way until the end.
But yes, I would appreciate something nice and English the next time I tune in.
Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.
You tune into a show where a megalomaniacal, narcisstic immortal - who was some reason 'ressurected' with bleached blonde hair - who can shoot lightning out of hands turns everyone on the planet into replicates of himself. And then they work together, with one of them actually ordering the rest around.

If we can't have the Doc then I could go for the Gene Genie being give the TV treatment
The captain turns toward you. The Television appreciates your concern and support Forum Posters, but don't avoid the computer on account of the Television. We're all friends on the same side. The red side. Everyone but Aeon. I hear he's been spending all his time in blue side AEs these days. Is that what friends do? Will you play CoV and watch Television, Forum Posters?
|
Dear forum posters, don't be fooled by the Television's propaganda. Oh sure, it may be luring you in with its sweet words of playing red side, but I ask you, WHO was the original red sider, hmm? Who was in red side before Television was even a THOUGHT?!
That's right, your good friend, Dr. Aeon.
These outrageous claims of me being on blue side are just that - outrageous claims, like the claims made by that ridiculous Dr. Creed or - even worse - Dr. Brainstorm.
Perhaps it's jealousy of my beautiful Architect Entertainment system that is driving Television to spread this propaganda. Perhaps you, Television, are the reason why I could not get that permit in Grandville for Architect Entertainment...your influence may be even more widespread than I thought.
In the end, dear readers, I ask that you all be very careful about this Television. Sure, it seems fun, it even references shows that, while horribly inaccurate of my own extraordinary and incredibly daring adventures in time and space, have the ability to draw you in for hours at a time. But then when those hours are done, you'll find just a little bit of yourself sapped away from the Television. Would I, Dr. Aeon, ever try to take part of you away? I think the answer to that is clear.
If you're somehow reading this Television, know that steps are being taken to settle this matter!

In the best traditions of villains everywhere, notice that Dr. Aeon didn't really answer that question.

Oh no, it appears the fights already over! Why? Because IT'S ON THE TELEVISION. You just can't win Dr. Aeon. How can you hope to face off The Television in a fight that's not televised? Because we all know, whatever's on The Television is duly controlled by The Television. Yes, you didn't think that those people who smash up their TVs when their favourite sports teams lost were so wise, but alas, you were wrong.
TELEVISION FOREVER

Ok... I am entertained.
Carry on.
Pssst! TV! Rumour is that the older shows are looking dated!
When is the tech going to be made to allow things like glow-edges on costumes?
We know it has to happen because, well...It's Television!
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

You tune in to the low-contrast grain and surrealy bad acting you've come to expect from a Sold As Televised advertisement.
Dr. Aeon is shown struggling with a bag of potato chips. He attacks the bag with all the energy and concentration of the world's greatest maker of balloon animals. His face contorts with frustrated desperation telltale of several hours of effort.
'Ever have trouble using simple household objects?' asks a deep, jovial and disembodied voice as the bag explodes, showering Aeon in a powder of chips.
Now, Dr. Aeon is shown in front of a kitchen sink complete with apron and yellow dish gloves. He's trying to wash a stack of dishes, but every time he picks up a dish, it slides between the soapy fingers of his gloves. He keeps stopping to glower at his hands. Finally, he mouths a howl of anguish and throws up his hands in resignation. 'Even the most simple tasks too much for you?'
'Just give up and go Blue!'
The screen flicks to a scene from a blue-side architect entertainment building. Aeon is hamming it up with its heroic patrons, oh-so-happy to finally be accepted by the people whose opinion he cares about the most.
'Dr. Aeon might have done some regrettable things in the past, but now he's doing his best to make it up to you, Paragon City. Meet Dr. Aeon in person at your nearest blue-side AE building pretty much any free second he gets.'
The screen flickers and the voice becomes a bit more serious. The screen is now cycling through the best scenes from all your favorite TV shows. 'Or, Forum Posters, you can opt for the sort of real, emotionally rich experiences you get by watching Television. Think of the most emotionally charged moments of your life. Count up the number of times you've laughed. The times you've cried. The times you've been moved to tears by tenderness, bravery or passion. How many of those have been in front of the Television? Remember that montage where the balloon salesman's zookeeper wife dies? Every one of your choked-back tears was shared by millions of other people in different countries and across time. You and the Television have shared the most intense, the most personal moments of your lives with more people than you will meet. These are your friends. Don't give up on meaning. Don't turn away from your friends.'
'Look at your friend the Television. It began its life as a programmer, but it made so many bugs that they decided to make it the tech lead instead so it would stop programming. Now, the Television could just throw up its hands and give up like Aeon. Does the Television do that? No. The Television got its name, traded in its C for CNN, and now the Television is programming. Just a different kind. "The Prince of Programming" as friend Samuraiko has said. No, Forum Posters, don't give up. Will you watch your friend Television and not give up?'
Oh, snap!

Gosh, I never knew how much of a quitter Dr Aeon was. Thanks for telling me, Television. *sits to watch more TV*
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.
