You know, the largely benign Jimmy Carter was menaced by some sort of talking aquatic bunny; it makes sense that now that full-on Batman-style arch-villains are in charge of the country, the Old Ones are taking an interest. It is a bit chilling to see the lunatic ecstasy on his face as Father Dagon or whomever rises from the frigid deep to devour the last rancid morsels of his sanity and soul.

P.S. On closer inspection, I think it's a mandrake root, or maybe his arm holding a rod and reel. At any rate, it's good to see that vice-Nero can enjoy himself as Rome burns. Must be thinking about kicking a puppy or something.

I didn't actually think it was meant to disparage the filk folk, just point out that it could be read that way, but thanks for the reply!

Great episode!
Those people remind me of some folks I met in Denver that had been attending Rocky Horror almost from the beginning-- passionate, life-long fans-- the kind of people that devote their lives to creating content and art for their respective fandom, and truly become part of the mythologies they celebrate.
I noticed one thing that I think unintentionally changes the tone of the episode when viewed embedded.
At the end, after the last song, the lady in the kerchief (introduced as “Mary Creasey”) says to Xeni “See! We've got you doing it too," and the player jumps to the beginning, frozen on the plate frame with the caption "I want to die."
The timing makes it look like that is Xeni's response to kerchief lady. I'm pretty sure the intent is not to make fun of these quirky, neat people, but that final jump back (an accident of software, no doubt) when playing the video in-browser sort of changes the whole mood to something a little more bitter and ironic than I suppose is intended:

. . .
♫ XENI and KERCHIEF LADY sing “Software Hacker’s Prayer” ♫
KERCHIEF LADY: See! We've got you doing it too!
XENI: I want to die.

Or I may just be nitpicking about something that is trivial and makes no sense to anyone but me.
Take your pick.
I honestly hate to gripe (especially on my first forum post not only to BB, but anywhere) and it might just be my skewed perception, so take with a grain of salt.
Anyway, thanks to everyone at BB for creating such a great site! I check in several times a day and I have BBTV set up to download to my Media Center PC. Love ya!
