A.B. and C.

[kingtycoon]

Part of me thinks that making the brass band/marching band a compoent of the sinister themes prevailing in the show is the most inspired element.  Another part of me can't stop thinking about the typeface.  A final part of me - the main part of me, can't get enough of #6's face when he wakes up. DEEERP.

I gotta say, I'd do well in The Village.

This #2 has a whole furious, antagonized burtonesque quality that is all the same reminiscent of Mr. Howell from Gilligan's Isand.

She says take your macs and boots off - meaning macintoshes?  There's something adorable about archaic usage & my ability to discern it.  When watching old TV shows you can establish how handsome you are - irrespecive of how little pants you are wearing while drunk in the afternoon.

But!

3 doses is the absolute limit. How superhuman is #6?  I definitley think we're experiencing checkov's syringe.  He'll definitely take 4 doses.

But we'll encounter 3 people and 3 doses - Three Things to bind them, three things to mind them - I will feed him 3 hams!  Three hams will fill him, three hams will thrill him...

Oh dang!  What kind of tie is that?  #6 is going to have weird drinks with his pedarast acquaintance.  "Only success matters"  If you're the Worst.  Christ that guy is the terrible.  Also, they are smoking indoors while drinking.  I miss those days.

And...  Fuck, do you guys have to whisper at each other?  Powdered wig coat check guys and whispering weirdos - I got an actual chill enduring that.  Gross.


French cars & spy music.  Why didn't you punch that guy before he kidnapped you?  Back at the party when you were whispering at each other like creeps?  Dang, again, Dang.

I should mention that that urban legend you've heard - where you put the shitty vodka through the britta filter?  It's actually true- a factual true thing.  GO CRAZY with your $7 bottle of vodka.

Aha!  You done got drugged son!

You're the new #14!  This lady knows what's up though!  Damn.  "your nonsense bores me" is absolutley the best rebuke ever - I feel like this is the best deflection from unwanted attention.  "Your Nonsense Bores Me."  There's definitely some nonsense that I'm into - but yours is bullshit.

What's even going on with #6's hair?  Like  does he just not wash it?  Europe?

That's right #2 the boss phone is ringing!  You clownin.

The new sailor maid isn't a hot stranger, just a lady who probably is into you i fyou wink at her a little. #6 is too busy sleeping on the floor to try her out though.

Oh fuck this lady.  What is this accent  Belgian?  Swiss?  She's kinda french and also not.  Play the tapes back, let's see.

Now I have to wonder how much this show had to do with the idea of the french maid as a sexual object. No sailor hat though this time.  The sailor hat makes that look work.

Subject B is bascially all the ladies I am interested in being friends with.  Rich gregarious lady with no jealousy?  Yes please.

Except, that's not subject B at all - I have had drinks.  Subject B is some kind of B-grade vamp lady - I'm talking about the lady who's party they're at.  Christ.  Subject B.  I mean - she's got the worst haricut, er outfit is questionable in the best circumstances - but I look at her big shark lips and I bet she's amazing to make out with.

I bet if you make out with PJ Harvey things change for you - like in a serious way - mutations and so on, I bet you grow a second row of teeth and develop a taste for centipedes.

Meantime this mousey blonde lady has not enough scientific enthusiasm.

Should we have some more Champagne?  The answer is always yes.

#6 will help you, he won't use conditioner, but he will straight up help you.

Christ, back to pedarast guy?   60's style stage fight him #6!  Whammo!  Holy nonsensical spy thriller batman!

Awww shit, you done got drugged again #6.

Too bad your nonsense bores this lady.

Better pursue her through the very obvious sound stage.

Seriously though - the music cues make these scenes.  I love the threnody here.

Meantime #6 has got shit figured out.  I love that he's spying on people & figuring shit out in his rubber soled loafers.  How's your kick-flip #6?

So does changing the music to a benign melody help us feel like he can't get caught?  They don't guard their secret science experiments meant to deprogram spies in The Village - worth knowing.   Though they really should have shelled out for the extra shift.

So I have no idea about this guy who is shoveling the steps outside.  I think he lives across the hall and is named Davis - but I think it very peculiar when someone is named a surname and also - he wears a fur coat & is shoveling the front steps poorly.  That's where my thoughts go when I am bored of watching #6 rifle through secret unguarded science experiments.  Seriously the guy's name is Davis.  That's weird right?

Ohh I... I hoped he'd make it to bed this time but no.  Passed out on the floor again.  Who's subject C?  Probably someone important.  I bet it's the hostess.  #6 meanwhile is all control, all mastery over the drugged dream party.  Dreamy!  Party!   Plus the super-mod music - it's perfect.  This reminds me that Dark Side of the Moon was at the top of the charts longer than any other album.

#6 is the last sane man.  He's into old ladies and is sane.

I feel like that earring was worth more than an old key though.

And I as right!  Subject C is the middle aged post-ingenue.  Also there is a conga line.  That is a solid party.  If you have been to a party and there was not a conga line  -you were at a shitty party.

Facts.

Here's where #6 gets it over one everyone, I like that - when the #2 is not sufficient to the task he is defeated by #6 symbolically - but only after he is administered an excessive dose of the drug (who was right?  I was right.).   Subject D?  I bet it's gonna be the current #2.  I bet it is!

In the weird abandoned warehouse inside the church.  Which is also a dickensian street scene.  Use all the BBC's props!  All of them!

Masked caped men are important.

Jesus Davis.  Fucking Davis - i know all about the steps, you can fake your way through shoveling but I know you do a shitty job,  You do a shitty job also your name is Davis.

And...  Who is subject D?  It is #2!  I was right and #6 prevails.  He suceeded and the drug failed.

Oh!  but the coda is a whole successful magic trick, nicely done!  This is great.  This is a great show.
