No, I don't think so. And we're still on a 24 hour schedule. Maybe they just took a survey of what most people are used to? I don't actually know. We had a pretty similar day cycle on Krypton. Without all that ridiculous Leap Year stuff.

[ earthlings are so WEIRD ]

[winn]

Maybe - that would mean that most people here are from an earth-like environment...maybe they're trying to determine how we cope with prolonged space travel...

[ because all this for ratings seems a little much. there has to be an ultimate goal here, his brain can't really accept all this suffering being completely futile. ]

That's a word that could stand being taken back home. [ he agrees, earthlings can be downright ridiculous. just look at him. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, if it were some kind of study, I could almost understand not letting us in on things, so they get natural reactions. It doesn't seem very ethical though.

[winn]

I don't think 'ethical' even ranks on their list of priorities -

[ no matter what this is, taking them away from their homes without their consent is plain wrong. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, I know, but it should.

[winn]

[ so many things that should be aren't. but it's one of the things he loves about kara - she doesn't accept those things. ]

Yeah, it should.

[takingkarabusiness]

We'll have a stern word with them later.

[winn]

[ at this point, he can't really keep from laughing, because it's just so darn endearing, and naive, and kara. ]

Yeah, I'll be - right behind you.

[ hiding, probably. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ there is a measure of tongue-in-cheek. she's not totally unrealistic ]

Yeah, hiding, probably!

[ look you thought it but she did too ]

[winn]

[ hey, he's allowed to! ]

I prefer 'covering your exit' - [ if you weren't upset, he'd consider being offended right now. it's a good thing he's self aware. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

That's also good, though I'd probably prefer you were somewhere, I don't know, infecting their mainframe with a virus.

[ there was an attempt at understanding computers there, kind of ]

[winn]

[ and he appreciates it! she should be able to tell by his huge smile. ]

I've got some nasty ideas -

[takingkarabusiness]

I have complete faith that you do, but we probably shouldn't discuss our nefarious plans out loud.

[winn]

What do you mean nefarious, nasty's the new 'off the heezy fo' sheezy' better keep up on your slang, Danvers -

[ he'll take a smile, but the laugh is what he's really going for here. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Were those words?

[ he'll get feigned unimpressed-ness ]

[winn]

[ oh come on! you don't want to laugh at him even a little bit? ]

For all we know, in some universe they're the Gettysburg Address.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ laughs. okay fine winn ]

Let's just be glad it's not ours.

[winn]

[ yes! he winns! ]

Though it would make people quoting it a lot more entertaining -
