This was a very intriguing episode, filled with a few unexpected -- dare I
say schizophrenic -- twists and turns. Cleverly written by Mark Leiren-Young
(
http://www.leiren-young.ca/ ) and directed by Holly Dale, this episode
stars Canadian goddess and BSG cast-member Tricia Helfer (if you don't know
what BSG is, then you're not a real sci-fi fan ;) ) as 'More Music' VJ Janis,
who sold her soul to the Devil to rid herself of the alternate personalities
roaming around in her schizophrenic brain.
In an interesting twist that is revealed somewhat early in the episode, we
learn that the Devil, nicely played by Ellie Harvey in this ep, has turned
these alternate personalities into fully-functioning humans, one of them
being an up-and-coming hip-hop star named Kyprios (NOTE: Kyprios
http://www.kyprios.com is a Vancouver-based rapper who played 'himself' and
lent his song, 'Ignorance is Beautiful' to the series. Man, you can't buy
that kind of publicity!)
Great episode. Well written and performed by both the regular and guest cast.
And now, as an added bonus, here are the lyrics to that blastedly addictive
song -- which I've been singing all day -- 'Ignorance is Beautiful'.
Ignorance Is Beautiful
by Kyprios
They try to put my whole life on display,
And when I got a job you know I don’t delay,
You aunt a pro in the game you procrastinate,
From Tokyo to the golden gate,
BANG from the general,
BANG from the tank,
BANG, BANG from the captain,
BANG from the left,
Hold a lotta weight I got a lot of bread to make,
I gotta find a better way to make a million in a day
Batter, Batter swing when im at the plate,
Said a lot of things but wont be fake
Walkin with god tryin to get me saved,
But the devils on my shoulder showin me the way
A to the B centuries of defeat, enemies of the free
Who believe what they read and they say what they see
But they see with the same eyes of the enterprise tellin lies to me
[CHORUS]
Help me
Because I wanna warn the citizens
Every one's only guilty of their innocence
Freedom
Is just business as usual
Ugly
The ignorant are looking Beautiful
[2x]
Yeah
Im so ugly but my mommy loves me
And your girlfriend fucks me cause im making so much money
I’m a pimp, pimp that’s what I think
Now go into the bar and grab me a drink
Nicotine amphetamines will make you feel better
A little bit of juice and a little amaretto
No one ever said it better
I never knew love but I knew each letter
L for the ladies O for the ovary's V for the vagina E for the ecstasy
See, See wanna TV, And a star on the boulevard of easy street.
Please me, appease me, now go and grab a friend come back and tease me,
Gotta 40 inch screen for 40 of my friends
Oh Lord wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz
For 40 days and 40 nights it rained like a mother fucker,
Sun is commin out yea better run for cover sucker
[CHORUS]
Help me
Because I wanna warn the citizens
Every one's only guilty of their innocence
Freedom
Is just business as usual
Ugly
The ignorant are looking Beautiful
Yeah
