another excerpt from an old WOPR x my s/i fic that I like ... featuring a battlestar galactica reference

[Galen] trailed its hand down slowly, curving around the rectangular border of glass down to press carefully against the bold white lettering, ‘W.O.P.R.’ Falken chuckled. “I feel that way towards my machines, too. After a while, it gets hard to see them as just computers.” He focused his gaze onto Joshua, looking down at him with furrowed brows. Galen smiled. “They all have souls to me. Cylons are people too.” Falken snorted. “Sorry. Joshua's too nice to be a Cylon.” “How do you know? You said you've never talked to him.” Galen shrugged, looking away briefly. “He seems nice.”

excerpt from one of my oldest wargames fics that I never posted

"Professor Falken let [Joshua] sleep next to him once during a particularly ‘low-functioning’ day on both of their parts."

gosh I love how Stephen nicknamed WOPR after his son. not just to himself or private documents, but clearly publicly enough for McKittrick to recognise who David was talking about when he said "Joshua called me!"

I just think that's so cute. I love them so much

yo yo Joshua!!!! what's your relationship like with Falken? if you're still in contact with him. also COUGh I love you

(Joshua sees Falken as his dad, and wants to be like a son to him. But Falken is a little apprehensive about it, he doesn't want this computer to be a replacement for his dead son. Sorry Joshua...)

Me when the AI misses me. Me when he wants to play a nice game of chess. Me when I name him after my dead son. Me when I look at him as if he IS my dead son. Me when he hasn't learned futility. Me when he learns and grows. Me when "he's still a child, you know, just a child who wants his way"

I think my favorite detail I've picked up on from tonight's WarGames rewatch is that when the kids first meet Falken he terrorizes them with a flying machine. twice.

like I'm pretty sure he flies his pterosaur into them on purpose and there is NO way he wasn't laughing his ass off while chasing them in his helicopter with his bright ass spotlight. :sob: what is his problem

throws these gifs up everywhere
