And what we just watched seemed like nothing, but what it gives will hopefully be much more than its creators intended.

 

[Chase]

Twenty years on, and I think you see the change.

i mean, i'm certain that when i was a tot i wasn't watching for carmen. i was watching for rockapella and the chief and greg. and even as an older kid watching woeics, i was watching for z&i and chief more than carmen (at least consciously). but the connections were seemingly being made subconsciously

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

the emotional attachment certainly was, and that's what allowed me to imprint on her a bit later (like, as a 7- to 12-year-old).

 

[Chase]

There are concepts here that makes you wonder if they had a rule to follow for Children's programming, though.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

but i think it's telling that i latched onto carmen, not zack, even though on the surface zack was far more similar to me. part of which may have been my (at that time, utterly unconscious) femaleness, but i think a lot of it is that... i was a lonely, lonely kid. still am a lonely woman. and carmen was always alone, in a class by herself. (again, see also nancy, meg murry, sailor moon.) i know that was something i related to, because i remember one incident so specifically.

 

[Chase]

There's basic emotions that show through, even as underlying themes.

 

[Eugene]

I'm sure there were several guidelines, along with overwatch from moral guardians.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

which i'll discuss when sober because it's the one making me tear up.

in what way?

 

[Eugene]

I think both of you have had a little too much to drink.
