Blog Eruditorum Press. Josh Marsfelder. 2 hours, 1. While out walking, Garfield comes across a hill. Theres a sign planted next to the hill, indicating that Paradise can be found at the top. The New York Times has collected podcasts for recent college graduates with advice on careers, personal finance, and adulting. As the last Millennials leave. This hill is different from the ones we normally see in Garfield rounded moguls upon which the cat will lay back and look up at the clouds on a warm summer day. The prominence appears quite challenging even for a seasoned climber, which is probably part of the reason Garfield has the reaction he does upon seeing it. The general design indicates less a typical Garfield hill and more a location that showed up in the strip a few times in the earlier part of the decade A jagged, rocky mountain whose summit we cannot see from the vantage point of the strip, but upon which dwells a Wise Man whom Jon tells us has a long beard and says grand things about life. To further the continuity link, one Wise Man strip features a sign that literally says Wise Man partway up the mountain, a kind of spiritual road sign or mile marker, with an arrow helpfully pointing to the summit, much as the sign for Paradise does here. We can read the. Phil Sandifer. 1. K NO MONO An assortment of pickled vegetables. Janice Poon suggests that this signals the approaching denouement, and also makes a nice metaphor about the vegetables sharpening the senses, which is what Alanna needs. The reality is that the second season is not so much going off the rails as plummeting down the gorge, watching mournfully as the rails disappear into the sky. The script calls this the Wildigo, which is the best part of the entire conceit. That a silly portmanteau is the best part speaks to the intense and pointless violence being done to the shows narrative principles here. K No Mono is primarily structured around a cheap and theatrical bit of audience deception, maintaining the illusion that Will killed Freddie. This is already cheap a way to manufacture drama out of structure when you obviously dont have it in your actual character work. This is a common way for formally inventive storytelling to run aground when the formal complexity becomes a way of making a story work in the first place instead of working better. Mostly Hannibal avoids it, not least because its got the core of the Harris books, which clearly and demonstrably do work dramatically. Last one of these for a little bit, but only because I need to record another session and get back up to where I left off because I lost this save file. Thinking of doing some other videos in the meantime though I was gonna do one on Raiders of the Broken Planet and Metroid, but I found myself far less inspired by that game than I was hoping I would be. I could do Quake Champions, but that would just be me getting humiliated and curb fragged over and over again. Maybe Ill just end up gushing about Warriors All Stars for an hour or two because, to paraphrase one of the achievements, it has in fact become my life. Ill have to see how things go. Check out previous entries in the Bloodmoon series to catch up if you wanna Heres Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Im pleasantly surprised at, and very appreciative of, by the way, the reaction this series has gotten really, any reaction at all. This project is not at all remotely what I originally envisioned it to be, and Im glad people still seem to like it. Anyway. Phil Sandifer. NAKA CHOKO A citrusy soup, used as a palate cleanser. Hannibal does suggest that a meat has citrus notes, but thats a stretch. Not even Janice Poon tries to explain this one. It is tempting to say that this episode opens with a revision of the previous ones finale, but based on the scripts its more accurate to say that the previous episodes finale was revised to be a streamlined version of this opening, cutting the actual fight scene down to Randall bursting through the glass and making one other major change, which well get to in a moment. Here we get the psychic landscape version, in which Will murders Randall as representation of Hannibal, which, in light of the cuts to the previous episode, becomes the sole and definitive version. WILL GRAHAM Id say this makes us even. I sent someone to kill you, you sent someone to kill me. Even steven. HANNIBAL Consider it an act of reciprocity. One positive action begets another. WILL GRAHAM Polite society normally puts such taboos on taking a life. HANNIBAL Without death, wed be at a loss. Its the prospect of death that drives us to greatness. The other post shooting script revision to the end of. James Murphy. 1 week, 4 days ago. You find me, EP readers, in the midst of my annual Elvis Kick, the time of the year where, werewolf like, the Presley geek within rises and takes the wheel for about six months. Hence the title of this post, a kinda play on Jumpsuit Elvis I Just Cant Help Believin, the BJ Thomas cover Im playing and replaying at an aggressively antisocial volume. We all immediately understood that, James Dont talk down to us, the audienceAnd dont anticipate our reaction within the body of the text, who do you think you are Jim GaffiganAlright, the business of the day. Lots of fun and unusual bullets in my arsenal this time out. Kevin and I havent yet had the chance to reconvene in my podcast marriage, Pex Lives, after how we spent our summer vacation, but, barring a terrible catastrophe, were all go for Sunday, so keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for that one. We pride ourselves on being scheduling geniuses and have, let me be clear, never made any ridiculous mistakes around a the clocks changing, or whether GMT is all year round, b which weekend Next weekend. In honour of Star Trek The Next Generations 3. Anniversary today, Vaka Rangi Volume 2 Star Trek Phase II, Original Film Series and Star Trek The Next Generation Season 1 is now available for order from certain online retailers. This volume covers the years 1. Star Trek The Next Generations conception and birth over the course of that decade, starting from the fandoms staunch resistance to letting Star Trek go in the late 7. Star Trek Phase II project, which eventually morphed into the Star Trek film series. Every pitched Star Trek Phase II script is examined in detail, with particular emphasis on the ones that were eventually adapted into television episodes and movies In Thy Image Star Trek The Motion Picture, The Child, Devils Due and Kitumba. Also covered during this section is the fanmade Star Trek Phase II web series and the famous and illustrious Star Trek Trilogy Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV The Voyage Home. Moving beyond fandom history, the book explores the other, less frequently acknowledged pop culture influences. Edited text from the video description Bloodmoon is a series that looks at the evolution and apotheosis of specific themes and archetypes throughout various video games via the medium of full playthroughs with open discussion prompts. Questions and observations Thunder and lightning is obviously an old horror trope. In the context of mythology and religion, however, they are sometimes seen as awe inspiring signs of a divine presence. In the Yoruba religion, from which some of Voodoo is derived, Shango also called Jakuta is an Orisha, or divine spirit. A deified ancestor known for being a tyrannical ruler in life, his mortal reign ended when has palace was destroyed by lightning during a thunderstorm and has been associated with the natural forces of storms as an Orisha. He is also associated with the colour red, and was venerated highly in the African American diaspora, whose ancestors valued him as a symbol of resilience and resistance during the time of slavery. In spite of various controversies surrounding character design in video games, there is a certain multifacted way we, as players, can relate to avatars like Rayne. How, if at all, does this change when that level of agency is removed and the. Phil Sandifer. 2 weeks, 1 day ago. SHIIZAKANA A hot pot dish, meat based and the nominal main course. Im going to go ahead and just call it no relation to the contents of the episode, because reading this as somehow forming a culminating centerpiece of the season is just too ridiculous. HANNIBAL Why not appeal to my better natureWILL GRAHAM I wasnt aware you had one. HANNIBAL No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them. By that love we see potential in our beloved.
