I hope everyone is having a nice day--and getting what you need to do so. Consider joining us on this journey through the fifth dimension. Either way, thank you for spending some time with us.
Predictions have always been scary for me. Scary, but also fascinating! In many movies, they are more of a curse than a blessing, as the predicted events happen despite or even because of our best efforts to prevent them. A good example of this is the temporal paradox used in movies like "Time Crimes". Overall a very interesting video! I think it's great that while analyzing an episode we learn so much about other stories/people and the parallels to the current episode. It's a bit like being back in school, but with interesting topics. Greetings from Germany :)
Hey Joe, so first of all, I have the same socks because of course I would. 😁 Great vid man, I'm enjoying catching up with your work and I dig your approach to this classic series. On the topic of humor (your second question) in my view it is absolutely necessary, I actually would not be able to survive it not for my ability to laugh at most things, including myself. Anyway, its great to hear your thoughts on this one, particularly in regards to the ethical dilemma presented in the story. A pleasure to meet another traveler in the 5th dimension! Be well!
Appreciate the thoughts and kind words. I'm completely with you on the humor part. I just can't imagine getting through life without laughing at the absurdity of things at times--including myself.
Great discussion! There were many interesting points raised. I enjoyed the part about choosing to use the word "Content" instead of "Fine". People often assume that when you say you're "fine", you might hide deeper, troublesome issues. I like the idea of saying, "I'm content." As for the gift of foresight, it seems like more of a curse than a blessing. Although, if you can find the right balance, it could be helpful. Pedott comes off as a tragic figure at times - he can't save everyone. That weariness shows in his eyes and demeanor. You mentioned that his "mousiness" comes off as not too genuine. I can understand that. Maybe it's his way of dealing with foresight. He doesn't seem to want to be responsible for saving everyone and offering them strange objects, so he does it timidly. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it properly. With Pedott's foresight, it's important to be cautious of people like Renard, who may become greedy and cruel. I'm @kazuki_fans_usa! 😃Thank you for the shoutout. I wrote, "I Would've appreciated the help…" with my mother in mind. She passed away in September, but I spent her last few years as one of her caretakers. I thought more about it, and I'm reminded how we are very reliant on mechanical and tech devices. Now, AI is here to answer all our questions, among many other helpful actions. But that's probably a discussion for another episode, something along the lines of "The Old Man in the Cave" or even "From Agnes-With Love."
I appreciate the thoughtful response, and I'm very sorry hear about the loss of your mother. I think you're probably on to something about the timidity with Pedott. That's a good point. I love "The Old Man in the Cave." That's one I'm very much looking forward to.
@@thekeyofimagination Thank you very much. I knew what I was thinking with Pedott, but it was hard to express. I'll try! I imagine introverted people with high intelligence and/or a good skill set, talent, etc., and they know it. They "know what you need," but their shyness, humility, or social awkwardness don't allow them to express that confidence in what they are selling, teaching, or providing to others. They also look out for themselves, don't want to be used, and feel overly bound to constantly provide such things. I may be overthinking this. I need to rewatch the episode to be sure! I could be misremembering Pedott's personality. I forgot to write. I liked the joke about the cool TZ socks and your wife knowing what you needed! 😄
