...This is but one of the many curiosities that make Pinafore an enjoyable and engaging production, cementing firmly in the audiences' minds that interactions on stage are frivolous and insubstantial. Through the various anachronisms of credit cards, wallets with baby pictures and even a hilarious moment where the scroll of the Admiral's song is passed from the stage to the conductor, we easily suspend disbelief. Such small touches also draw attention from the show's more uneven edges--which are few and far between. For instance, the stage is just a little too cluttered. In terms of width...

Contrary to stalking, which implies singling out a particular person, "w" displays a sea of faceless usernames. It is this impersonality and vagueness that makes it so addictive. The groundless deconstruction and reconstruction of these ever-changing green columns has become a part-time hobby...
