Youtube daily report w Aug 27 2018

I think I had a bit of a breakthrough when

writing this review.

Previously I'd found Eternity an entirely annoying blip in a pretty good back-half a

decent season of Angel.

An episode that again leans into noirish-ness-ness with mixed results and then ends with a baffling

sequence featuring an ultimately anti-climactic return of what could be the greatest Big Bad

from Buffy.

But...on closer examination I think there were a few things I was forgetting.

101

Summary Angel and Wes are attending the opening night

of Cordy's performance of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House.

She's playing Nora who in the climax of the play, which takes place in the late 1800s,

gives up her husband, money, and reputation in order to get away and find herself.

A fitting role for Cordelia.

This opening is a pretty good bit as Wesley and Angel, who have faced horror itself are

in agony through Cordy's performance.

And I do love the verbal dodges that Wesley and Angel invent on the walk home with her.

"Was I any good?"

"I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."

"You took the role and made it your own."

During the walk Cordy spies starlet Rebecca Lowell emerging from a hot spot.

There's a creepy looking car up the street.

Evil people always drive dodgy looking american muscle cars.

Angel heroes it up and Rebecca comes over to thank him.

When Cordy tells her that Angel doesn't even know who she is, I love the miniscule

look of delight on her face.

It sells the experience of total loss of public anonymity so well.

And I was reminded of the story I saw in which Michael Jackson paid a group of actors to

fill a grocery store and ignore him so that he could experience what it was like to grocery

shop alone.

It's a life that redefines what normal is, important later in this episode when questioning

motivations.

Rebecca shows up in Angel's office later and shares scary notes with him that have

been written in blood.

201

8:00 "It's not blood."

- "How do you know?"

He turns down the job and Cordy goes all Cordy about it.

"He can't help one defenseless actress from a psycho."

"He likes her."

Later that night at Rebecca's place Rebecca is attacked by a stalker and Angel fights

him off.

I'm actually not sure how Angel got into her home without an invitation.

None was given in their previous two scenes together but whatever.

The stalker runs off and Rebecca sees Angel doesn't have a reflection and realizes what

he is.

Her agent comes by and hugs her.

13:30 "I love you kiddo."

His wording of kiddo, meant to be assurance that don't worry - you're not getting

older, is actually tacit endorsement of the idea that it is a problem for women in Hollywood

to age.

Angel stays behind and Rebecca's curiosity puts Angel at ease.

Cordy is shocked that Angel took th e case and Wes makes an important point:

16:00 W: Angel's moment of true happiness happened because he was with Buffy.

Do you realize how rare that is.

True happiness?

This is an important restatement of the idea that Angel's curse is not tied to sex but

to the feelings of intimacy and closeness Angel felt for Buffy.

I've mentioned previously how, the way Surprise was cut, it seemed clear to me that it was

the post coital bliss with someone he was in love with that brought about Angel's

moment of perfect happiness.

Which Wesley more or less confirms here.

Rebecca takes Angel to a play as her body guard and when they slip out the back they're

attacked again.

Angel beats the attacker senseless and it turns out the stalker and the whole deal were

ploys by her agent to get her some free press.

"Nobody stays young forever."

- *eye massaging Angel.

Rebecca takes Cordy out to get information about Angel's history.

She reveals a bit too much and Rebecca heads to Casa De Angel.

She asks him to interlink arms with her which works as a symbol of their shared desires

revealed throughout the episode, along with Rebecca's desire to become like him.

When he's away for a moment she drugs him and

R: A toast.

To the end of an ending and the beginning of a beginning.

*Picard facepalm

Cordy realizes what she's done and warns Wesley AND…

401

This scene is the reason I originally hated this episode.

Not for anything that came before.

This scene.

And, in an interview with Fandom.com, Tim Minear acknowledged that the scene was contentious

for fans.

Quote "I know there was a lot of criticism on

the Internet about the way Angel went bad, and did he really go bad?

The idea of giving Angel a variation of ecstasy—to me, that just worked.

I thought it was a really good way to bring Angelus into the series so that he could interact

with our characters for a moment, without doing some big 'Angel has turned evil'

arc.

You sort of get to have your cake and eat it too in that episode."

Except for me, as a fan, the trite simplistic nature of the phrase, "have your cake and

eat it too," very well encapsulates my original frustration with this episode.

Let's have a quick primer shall we?:

*Angelus montage

Angelus was never cake, he was the entire meal, and arguably one of the greatest Big

Bad's from all seven seasons of Buffy.

Angel's turn in Season 2 was my hook for Buffy the show.

The point at which I knew I was completely in.

The moment Buffy turned to Giles and said, "You must be so disappointed in me," I

realized me watching the rest of the series was no longer under my control.

I'd never before seen a show have one of the good guys turn in such a way and wreak

such painful genuine emotional havok on both the series protagonist and the audience.

To have him return in this fashion didn't feel to me like cake.

It felt cheap.

Too easy.

A titan summoned by one-off character that didn't even make the episode's final scene.

And to build up the rarity of actual true happiness as this transcendental thing that

is beyond sexual intimacy only to undercut that with a physiological shortcut in this

episode felt head snapping.

401

To say nothing of the confusing modification it made to the lore.

DRUGS?

So...within the language of the curse...the soul...which we've established is an actual

supernatural thing with essence can be...put on pause...when the host is given a physiological

experience of true happiness rather than an actual spiritual experience of it?

That's what appears to be happening if Angel's soul doesn't actually leave him.

A pause button.

It can't just be the ecstacy.

Angel has admitted to sharing the evil desires of Angelus but to suggest the that the ecstasy

is only bringing forward the things that Angel finds pleasurable is to suggest that the only

thing Angel finds pleasurable are evil and murderous.

As opposed to art, philosophy, music, or love.

The soul is the moral compass and Angel's is clearly absent in these scenes.

BUT...here's the breakthrough I had when watching the episode this time.

YES.

The drug loophole is dumb.

But the curse was ALREADY stupid.

"If this - this girl - brings him even one minute of happiness.

That is one minute too much."

Blame Uncle Gypsy stereo-type.

For my original rant on Angel's big dumb curse checkout my review on Innocence at about

the 6:37 mark.

But in short, building a loophole into a punishment for an evil being that turns them evil again,

and then not telling them that, is not a smart plan and got Uncle Gypsy Stereotype and Ms

Calendar killed for how poorly thought out it was to begin with.

But all of us fans ultimately let that go.

And why is that?

*Buffy good montage

The truth of it is, Angelus was never interesting in Buffy's second season for his character.

Certainly not like Spike and Drusilla.

Angelus was interesting for what he revealed about Buffy.

"No weapons.

No friends.

No hope.

Take all that away and what's left?"

"Me.''

We're all watching to make emotional connection.

And it's something Whedon acknowledged.

He'd gladly sacrifice plotting to get to an emotional truth.

And when he DID in Innocence we promptly moved past Uncle's stupidity.

Because what's important is the poetry's resonance.

So...okay.

Fine.

Drug pause button loophole.

Bring it on.

I now understand what I'm really here for Eternity.

As long as you keep finding ways to make me feel all the things, so be it.

Rebecca has drugged Angel with a drug that induces bliss.

In the moment when the drug is beginning to take over Boreanaz I noticed for the first

time that he actually cries when speaking of how much he missed warmth and intimacy

with someone else.

A beautiful expression of the toll his emotional balancing act has taken on him.

31:16

The scene the follows is actually nicely horrifying.

Angelus returns briefly and terrifies everyone, sharing Angel's inner reflections that politeness

and civility, you might say his soul, had kept at bay.

Angel strikes at Wesley's feelings of inadequacy

"You're just inadequate,"

And Cordy's fear that the life she thinks she wants is not the one she's made for.

"You were truly terrible."

I think it's kind of brilliant how Cordy then baits Angel into hesitating with a wonderful

performance so that Wesley can be the one to overpower him, tackling him into the elevator

for a brutal and awesome stunt.

And in the final scene our core three have their emotional catharsis.

"But I really didn't mean," "Yeah you did."

"Wesley, nice moves up there."

Ahhh there's some of the feels.

501

Analysis In that interview with Fandom.com I mentioned

earlier, Tim Minear did point out something interesting.

As we've talked about, Angel was originally intended to be an anthology series.

A case of the week format.

But the writers quickly realized that it was going to be difficult to create sympathy for

a character every week that was only going to be around for one episode.

Slowly the writer's began focusing more on the regulars as the emotional core of the

show and you can definitely see that evolution in Eternity.

The episode opens with a focus on Rebecca but she isn't even around for the final

scene.

Continuing with the trend of this first season, Rebecca's character is very much a film

noir staple, the white-dwarf starlet.

Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

Jane Hudson in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.

And my favorite, Betty Boop in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

"Work's been kinda slow since cartoon's went to color.

But I still got it Eddie."

"Yeah.

You still got it."

One of the consequences for me of this first season leaning so hard into these classic

storytelling devices is some fatigue and I felt a bit of that during the first half of

Eternity.

Without demeaning it's cultural relevance, Rebecca's struggle is one we've seen so

many times that the details of it aren't interesting in and of itself.

What's interesting is the way in which the writer's interplay those elements with Angel's

supernatural side and see what comes of the genre bending but Eternity feels like it takes

a little bit of time to get going.

And watching this episode made me realize how part and parcel the LA/Hollywood lifestyle

stories are with the noir slant the show started with.

As well as how tedious I find the La La Land tales.

Too meta.

Too up it's own butt.

"I came out to here to find my dreams but they weren't hiring."

See she's an actress on a show where she wants to be actress.

Get it?

Still, there's some fun material here, especially emotionally once I could see past the curse.

Angel initially keeping himself at a distance from Rebecca for the sake of the curse is

good stuff.

It shows that that storm is always on the horizon for him.

And his then keeping track of her anyway is a revealing moment of his character . Heroic

but stalkery.

Think Becoming Part 1 and Pangs.

The few moments of vulnerability Angel was allowed actually landed for me.

15:17 You're really not afraid?

I like how Rebecca's lack of fear initially plays against Angel's inner hatred.

"If this woman doesn't fear my demon than...maybe...maybe I don't have to hate it so much."

It also sets up the crushing disappointment for later.

There's some nice interplay between Rebecca's character and his along with some mirror symbolism

that never forms into a complete thought for me.

Rebecca and Angel both desire solitude and isolation and are kindred in that way.

The turning point in their relationship comes when the two of them are looking into a mirror.

Rebecca has them interlock arms, another visual of the way she thinks they mirror each other.

But maybe the fact that the mirror imagery never does really does reveal any particular

truth is the point.

Rebecca thinks the monster in the mirror is her aging form.

She ends up saying outright the mistake she makes with Angel.

"They think that I'm the character I play.."

And Angelus shows her what a monster actually looks like.

In the end I was able to strip away my own biases and have some fun with Eternity.

It is at times a little tedious and on the nose but there is some good stuff here.

The show's evolution this first season is coming along as the emphasis continues to

shift to character arcs over single episode plots.

The first time I watched it seemed like there was going to be a straightforward but enjoyable

through line to the end of the season.

'New Acquaintances' Inside Ep. 411 BTS | Fear the Walking Dead - Duration: 4:02.

In this episode, Morgan encounters these boxes

that have been left mysteriously.

And they're essentially to help people.

So is there good in the world remaining?

Are there people like him, like Madison,

who want to save humanity?

We pack 'em, we drive 'em, we deliver 'em.

James: The first time he meets Wendell and Sarah,

I think Morgan's still thinking about heading to Virginia.

Levee's broke, road's washed out.

But when he finds out from them that the storm was very bad,

then he has a change of heart.

I have people back there.

Chambliss: Sarah and Wendell outfit him with a car

and load it up with supplies and wish him luck.

♪♪

[Growling softly]

[Growling stops]

Morgan is in peril, really.

On his way back to Texas, he changes his mind.

And this episode is kind of an episode of two Morgans.

It's Morgan before the lie and it's Morgan after the lie.

♪♪

The bridge -- it's out.

I'm just gonna come back.

♪♪

Gimple: Jim has escaped Sarah and Wendell

but with a burlap sack over his head

and his hands tied behind his back.

[Screaming]

That's not an optimum state

to be out in a world full of walkers.

So, you know, initially Jim's quite grateful.

[Walkie-talkie clicks] Hey.

What the hell, Morgan?

Hurd: Of course, as we come to find out in this world,

no good deed goes unpunished.

You can't protect what's yours...

it ain't yours.

After Morgan finds out that Sarah and Wendell kidnapped Jim,

he just doesn't trust them.

I thought about it.

Goldberg: Jim makes a deal

in exchange for giving beer to Sarah and Wendell.

I'm not leaving without that chiller.

[Grunts]

[Grunting]

Morgan!

Goldberg: I think Morgan being abandoned is really a moment

that reminds him of when he stood on that bridge

at the beginning of the episode,

and he had a choice.

The bridge.

We knew it wasn't out.

So Morgan's kind of seeing a little bit of himself

in Sarah and Wendell in this moment.

Hey!

[Walkers growling]

He's basically left to contemplate what he's done,

and what he's done means about who he is right now

because he thinks himself to be a man of honor.

And he's gone against his own code.

Scared that if I went back, I would just make things worse.

So...

He speaks his fear of not being adequate.

The people back there need something he doesn't think

he's capable of giving them.

He doesn't want them to rely on him.

He doesn't want to take responsibility for them.

And comes to the realization that yet again,

he's run away.

♪♪

That moment is very much Morgan fighting for a second chance.

♪♪

And he's aware that what he has to do next

he has to make that right.

Wherever you are, we'll keep looking.

You hang on, because we're coming.

'A Ravine of Walkers' Making of Ep. 411 BTS | Fear the Walking Dead - Duration: 2:58.

We are shooting a scene by the embankment over here.

This is a big scene.

It's many pages, and it was always intended

to be a fun but challenging set piece for Lennie.

As the scene starts, both the beer master and Morgan

are captives, and the beer master, using beer,

gets himself out of the captive situation.

-Do I get beer? -All you can drink.

But Morgan doesn't quite, and ends up at the bottom

of a ravine surrounded by walkers.

-Deal. -There's a lot of bartering

that goes on, you know, especially like my twin and I --

We -- we like to barter around.

-Really? -My sister, Sarah --

As you can see, we're twins --

sort of, kind of twins, but we twins.

That's all you need to know.

This script was a good one in that there's a lot of kind of

fun stuff...

There's some complexity here.

...there's quite a lot of action...

-[Groans] -...and hopefully

it's not gonna hurt too much.

Man: Action!

Delyle: This is the big set piece of the episode.

We're at a lower level than the road, so we've got to

bring all the cameras and lights down.

There's a bunch of markers down there,

and we have a stunt person.

Mark Hicks, the double for Lennie, he had about a 12

backwards fall into the ravine.

So that's the moment of peril here.

Man: And action!

You're heart's beating thinking about hitting your mark,

landing on the mat safely, making it believable.

The Morgan character is very smart, very crafty,

so I got to stay in character with the action.

James: Each time Morgan thinks he's got himself out

of the situation, he hasn't quite

got himself out of the situation.

-And action! -Can I get some help here?

Sorry, Morgan.

You made it this long without us.

Think you got this.

He's down on top of a car surrounded by walkers.

His hands are tied behind his back, which I have done to him.

That's a tough one.

James: This location was chosen because if he jumps off,

he's still at the bottom of the ravine,

and the walls of that ravine are shale.

They're stones, and he's there from day to night.

And then finally when he realizes that no one's gonna

come back to help him does he actually take

the difficult option.

-And mark. -And action!

He's gonna actually gonna have to jump over 25 stunt walkers,

find a knife, and then from there, he sees a mile marker.

That's what he actually uses to kill the walkers.

James: It's gonna be a lot of work for my stunt man.

I'm not gonna take all the credit.

Delyle: There's a lot of storytelling in the action.

There's not tons of dialogue on these pages,

but it's a big moment for him to pull himself out of this rut

he's been in and actually save himself.

Why Won't it Melt? How NASA's Solar Probe will Survive the Sun - Duration: 2:55.

music

Narrator: NASA's Parker Solar Probe is a mission to explore the Sun. How can it do that?

Why won't the spacecraft melt? Excellent questions.

You can't face off with the sun without packing the right gear.

This is why Solar Probe is equipped with a white shield that reflects heat off the front and keeps things cool in the back.

Betsy Congdon: The heat shield is made of a couple of different materials.

One is of carbon carbon which is a lot like the graphite epoxy

you might see in your golf clubs or tennis rackets, but it's been super heated.

The inside is a carbon foam which is another form of carbon which

is about 97% air. It's a very light weight way of making

a very strong structure.

Narrator: Nobody likes a needy explorer. Solar Probe can take care of itself, thank you very much,

and that's because it has autonomy software that will keep its instruments safe and cool behind the heat shield.

We are too far away to joystick it into place,

so it basically has to always be sensing whether

or not the heat shield is in the right position and correct itself

if it isn't. There are these things called solar limb sensors,

just poking out at the very edge of the shadow. If those get illuminated,

the spacecraft knows, "Oh, I'm going the wrong direction," and can actually right itself.

Narrator: It's important to stay hydrated in the Sun, even for a spacecraft!

Solar Probe circulates water to keep the solar cells

from overheating. It stays cool and keeps power.

Betsy: Basically water flows behind the solar arrays and into the radiators,

so the water warms up behind the solar cells and then cools

down at the radiator that heat transfer is happening a lot like

the veins in your body

Narrator: Yes, you read right: Heat is not the same as temperature. Temperature is a measurement, but heat is an energy transfer.

This matters because Solar Probe will be

visiting the sun's outer layer, the corona. Like all stars,

the Sun is made of plasma. How tightly packed that plasma is

depends on the layer. While the Sun's corona has a very high temperature

the plasma particles are fairly spread out, so even though the temperature

in the corona is 1,000,000 Fahrenheit,

the heat around the spacecraft is manageable.

Betsy: The corona and where we are going is actually not that dense at all, there's only a couple particles.

Those are very hot, but we aren't touching a lot of them.

So, it's kind of like when you put your hand into an oven. The oven might be at 400 degrees Fahrenheit,

but your hand isn't going to be at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Narrator: Thanks to its design and destination, this cool, confident spacecraft is all set to explore.

We can just sit back and chill, as Parker Solar Probe takes the heat.

'Can do better' - Arsenal fans clash over news Ramsey is set to wait until January over contract - Duration: 2:15.

Aaron Ramsey is reportedly set to make a final choice about signing a new contract at Arsenal until January

The Wales midfielder and his representatives have been in talks with club officials over a new deal, with his current deal set to expire next summer - but a breakthrough has yet to be made from both parties

The Daily Mail say Ramsey is ready follow Mesut Ozil's example by stalling on a decision until the New Year in order to get the best deal possible from the north London club

A year ago, Ozil and Alexis Sanchez were facing the prospect of leaving as a free agents in the summer with Manchester United heavily linked with both players

Sanchez ended up moving to Old Trafford in a straight swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and former Germany international ended up signing a new hefty contract extension worth around £300,000 a week

Ramsey, 27, enjoyed his most influential campaign for the Gunners and ended the season in double figures for goals and assists, scoring 11 and laying on a further 12 in 32 appearances

The midfielder enjoyed a great campaign on a personal level last season and was named the fans' player of the year

This has led to the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United being interested in his signature but before Arsenal's victory over West Ham United, new head coach Unai Emery warned him to focus on his performances on the pitch and let his agents deal with the negotiations

"I only need his focus on training, the matches and on his performance each day," said the Spanish boss

He was left out of the starting XI against Chelsea, but produced an energetic performance against the Hammers on Saturday

Asked whether he felt Ramsey lacked focus, Emery replied: "I don't know, but I am thinking in the present

"I spoke with him last week but now, today, my focus is on the match and I want the player to be focused only on Saturday." Ramsey has been at the club for more than a decade and has grown into one of the north London side's most important players

But despite that, some fans have said it would be best to sell him and for the club to not offer him a bumper extension whilst others have urged them to do all that they can to retain his services

Hector Bellerin hails Arsenal's spirit against West Ham - but calls for ruthlessness upfront - Duration: 1:56.

Hector Bellerin has praised Arsenal's character to come back from behind and win 3-1 against West Ham United, but called for his team to be more efficient in front of goal

In a highly entertaining game for the neutral, both London sides had numerous attempts on goal to score but were guilty of missing some clear-cut chances and some lax defending

The east London side looked threatening on the break but couldn't punish the Gunners after Marko Arnautovic gave them the lead after some smart play from the impressive Felipe Anderson

However, Unai Emery's side prevailed after goals from Nacho Monreal, Danny Welbeck and an own goal from Issa Diop ensured that the Spaniard got his first win under his belt in the Premier League

Bellerin was central to the north London side's attacking play and had a hand in two of their goals with some smart cut-backs from the right-hand side

After two tough encounters, the young Spanish international was happy that the work being done on training ground was bearing fruit, but said more work was to be done still

We've been working hard now for the last two months, so we knew it was just a question of time," Bellerin told Arsenal Player

"We had two tough games to start after lots of changes at the club. We knew it was a question of time, a question of scoring the chances that we had

"Today was that kind of day. We still could have been even more efficient, but even though we started behind in the scores, we turned it around and I was very happy with the reaction of the team as well

The right-back also said on-field relationships established over many years playing together helped with the new structure being put in place by new head coach Emery

He continued: "At the end of the day it's football, right, and that's what we've always been playing and there's always a few adjustments here and there that we need to make in order to play the style that the coach wants to play, but of course we've been playing with each other for a long time so even though the system changes, at the end of the day we're the same players so we still understand each other and that helps
