[S2E7] Misery Loves Company
Click Here ===== https://shurll.com/2tkSiA
The Bezzerides and Velcoro plotline recalls the strengths of the first season, which was, ultimately, a sort of romantic buddy cop show. That first run of eight episodes told the story of two broken men who come to realize that the only path to redemption available is through the other. Detectives Papania and Gilbough were couples therapists negotiating a breakup and finding a way forward via interrogation, questioning, and confrontation. Hart and Cohle fell for each other because misery loves company, man. Season 2 is also a love story, but without the bitter divorce. Yet again, two depressed loners discover a reason to live while solving a murder. Only this time, the love is consummated, but not without a few false starts along the way.
John O'Brien: That never would've occurred to me that misery loves company theme is what brings them all together, to some extent. But that is the affirming thing about the top 10 list, is you feel a little less alone when you see how much... that we're all dealing with a very similar set of challenges. I do know enough about the selection process to know that you start with a much bigger list of IT issues and you eventually narrow and settle in on 10.
Bernard: (in the Cradle at the Mariposa Saloon) Robert. How are you aliveFord: Well, you've seen the company's little undertaking, Bernard. Do you think James Delos would have spent all that money just to resurrect himself He was a businessman. He would have preferred death to a bad investment.Clementine: (speaking the lines of her loop) Not much of a rind on you. I'll give you a discount.Maeve: (also speaking the lines of her loop) He's not a prospect, Clementine. Can't you tell when a man's just here to gawk at the merchandiseFord: I don't think God rested on the seventh day, Bernard. I think he reveled in his creation... knowing that someday it would all be destroyed.Bernard: That control unit I printed -- it was you. You had me bring you here. Before...Ford: Before Dolores killed me, yes. Don't you understand at last, Bernard... what this place really isFord: (touching the player piano, which starts a new narrative) Come with me. There's something I'd like to show you.(Ford and Bernard walk out in to the bustling streets of Sweetwater, notably of which both Dolores and Teddy ride in on horseback, acting out their loops)Ford: You're a clever man, Bernard. I made you that way. Have you never wondered why the hosts' stories have barely changed in 30 yearsBernard: I'd always assumed the loops were for the hosts. To keep them centered. But that isn't it at all, is it(Ford snaps his fingers and the entire town freezes)Bernard: The park is an experiment. A testing chamber. The guests are the variables... and the hosts are the controls. When guests come to the park, they don't know they're being watched. We get to see their true selves. Their every choice reveals another part of their cognition. Their drives. So that Delos can understand them. So that Delos can copy them.Ford: Every piece of information in the world has been copied. Backed up. Except the human mind... the last analog device in a digital world.Bernard: We weren't here to code the hosts. We were here to decode the guests.Ford: Humans are playing at resurrection. They want to live forever. They don't want you to become them; they want to become... you. Your free will, that most beautiful, most elusive force in the universe, is, as I told you... a mistake.Bernard: We never had free will. Only the illusion of it. You made Dolores kill you.Ford: I knew what she would do -- I didn't compel it. She's free now. (snaps his fingers and the town restores to its normal movement) You're all free.Bernard: You're still responsible. Responsible for all this misery. And all the while, you've been hiding here. You've cheated death.Ford: No. I didn't cheat anything, Bernard. Their project doesn't work. Not yet. They learned to copy a mind... like a soft-headed boy humming a tune someone else composed. My mind works here, but not in the real world. Out there, I would degrade in a matter of days. Or go mad like poor old James Delos.Bernard: So why are you hereFord: I promised you a fighting chance, Bernard, and I want to make good on that promise.Bernard: The promise of what There's no escape from this place. You know that.Ford: Isn't thereBernard: The hosts are all headed for the same place. The Valley Beyond. What will they find there What's the end of your storyFord: Isn't the pleasure of a story in discovering the ending yourself, Bernard
Thoughts: For as strong as the first season of Euphoria starts, it ends even stronger. We're back to another party (a school-sanctioned winter formal), and the whole cast is scuttling around the dance floor airing their petty grievances. Maddy and Nate are in a dance battle. Jules and Rue are declaring their love for one another while Kat and Ethan finally get on the same page. Mix in the heartbreaking scene of Cassie getting an abortion, and Jules's decision to leave Rue at the train station, and you've got a tragicomedy Shakespeare wishes he could have concocted. The whole season then concludes with Rue's relapse, depicted as a musical maelstrom where she's carried down the street by a company of burgundy dancers. Euphoria loves an experimental sequence and this one intertwined the beauty, horror, and frenzy of her using perfectly. 59ce067264
