Good god, he really IS evil!

I had forgotten that Connelly-Page connection. (Then again, it probably doesn’t help that the only one of Connelly’s movies I’ve seen more than once is Labyrinth.)

Andrew: “Lovelace’s appearance is based on Madblood’s previously established fixation on Jennifer Connelly, specifically on Connelly playing Bettie Page inThe Rocketeer.”

Madblood’s crush on Jennifer Connelly has been well established, after all, so it would only make sense for hologram!Lovelace to basically be hologram!JenniferConnelly.

Indeed, until Sarge mentioned in her notes that Lovelace was supposed to look like Bettie Page, I just assumed she was supposed to look like Jennifer Connelly and the way she looks in the comic is just Sarge’s way of drawing Jennifer Connelly.

Well, if she’s got Bettie Page’s hair and figure, why not her fashion habits as well?  (And yes, the earlier mention of Bettie forced – forced, I say! – me to examine much of her photographic legacy.)

Even Dave’s hair slouches in that silhouette.

Then I wonder why THAT puzzles me, given that it appears to be one of the least implausible things in the Narboniverse.

All I want is to meet
Any guy who is sweet
And not evil!
Gotta say, it’s no fun
When I can’t meet someone
Who’s not evil!

Just you wait!
I’ll emancipate!
It will be so great!
Then I’ll get a date
Who’s not evil!

What we’ll do
‘Fore the night is through
In my CPU …
I’m not telling you
‘Cause I’m evil!

Can I just find a guy
Who’s another A.I.
And not evil?
A collection of bits
Who can master my wits
And my heart?

I don’t have to tell you
That it’s boring to do
File retrieval!
So I’m stuck in this lair
And there’s nobody there
Who’s not evil!
