Chapter 44-3: Life and Death

[LiamKerrington]

I'm watching children's cartoons for the rest of my life.

Children's cartoons aimed at what age-group?

[LiamKerrington]

I am very glad that one did not take place the way like what we have discussed during the last episodes: Ink did not get the baby.
I am glad, because this seemed to be quite the "obvious" choice from a story-teller-perspective, especially with #13 in the Arena. But now Nicholas seems to be safe - for now - and out of Ink's reach. It may be even uncertain if Ink has any idea about the newborn at all. But that is a mystery to be solved later.

Best wishes!
Liam

I wonder how KC feels knowing he created these people and this story whole cloth and to see the reaction to his story (and the acting).

Whoa, that's kinda English

KC and the cast--every one of you is so incredibly talented. Took me awhile to get around to the love. I was way more affected by this episode than I have been by any works of fiction in a really, really long time.
I gush now.

Nate Geez--You pulled deep, son. I felt your performance in my gut. No intellectualizing/distance was possible, Saul's desperation, anguish and despair felt so visceral.

Blaire Byhower--I bought every moment; not a drop wasted--I really had a sense of the physicality of Lizzy's struggle and the feeling of you slipping away--so unfair.

Shirley Jordan--I've always been amazed at how present you are in the moment as an actress. You convey the thinking that's going on behind what you are saying. That moment when Dr. Tanya knows she can't save Lizzy and decides to just listen to her and give her her baby to hold...

Jay Olegario--You do realize how much we loved your Datu, right? How to say this; it's like, your measured performance allowed us to stay with Datu as a person and not as a "turner." Give me back my emotional distance d**n you!


I'm sick; so maybe that's part of it...plus I know I've been expecting/dreading it. This snuck past my intellectual barriers and into the gushy inner core of my emotions.

Haha. Of course!I wouldn't throw out something that random without it being true. Given the effort and actual process required to make it work I'm going to bet Kc goes with goat's milk rather than induced lactation. Might be a little too odd to include.

Baby formula actually lasts quite a while. I know the liquid form of formula in a bottle we got for our little guy lasted a little over a year. Dry formula, longer I believe. But goat's milk is one of the most wholesome there is and better in my opinion than cow's milk.

One thing: How did the car alarm in the beginning even go off? The big one set it off but wouldn't the battery be long dead?

To be honest, most children's cartoons are aimed at adults.

That's my excuse, anyway

Just listened to the episode for the second time. The pain is even stronger the second time around because I could actually focus on the pain in Saul's voice versus just the sadness of Lizzy dying. Wow. Great episode guys!

I don't think I will EVER listen to this episode again. This episode goes in the "Never listen again" folder, together with Burt having his finger cut off and Angel being shot.

AFAIR the closest thing to human milk is donkey milk, so if I were Saul I'd rather go with baby formula. If I didn't go insane after the last episode, that is.

Datu's death scene kinda reminded me of this...So...Here's our musical!
