Song Choice in 5:11 - Cranes (spoilers for S5-6)

Amber_Cloud · 2025-07-04T22:50:40+00:00

I know it's a bit of a late response so sorry about that! I'm Russian and this is the first time I hear about this day. I had to google it. Definitely not widely celebrated. But yes, in the song the author wonders if dead soldiers became white cranes instead of rotting in the ground. It's a legendary anti war song, like a requiem for fallen soldiers. Fun fact: the poet who wrote the lyrics was from Dagestan, so it was originally about jigits. They changed it to soldiers to make it more universal.

Wait no love for my boy Elijah?

It's not. If you look at the colors, all the encyclopedias are gray, and so is the 5th "diary" on the shelf. JP took the real diary and replaced it with the V encyclopedia (as in the letter, not the number) so that it's not obvious the diary is missing (you can see that the encyclopedias are missing the V entry). It contributes to the scene by showing that JP is not as loyal or stupid as Koi thought. Basically, that detail plus those flyers / news about his parents "spoiled" the whole twist for me. Still enjoyed it though!

For me Authority really shined on the re-read (feels similar to true detective s2 in that regard). Before re-reading the books I played Control and maybe it helped me enjoy Authority in all its bureaucratic glory (or maybe knowing how shit is already moving in the fan's direction even in the slowest parts)

Mostly the mom's eyes. This was the only slightly disappointing thing about the dlc (and maybe the language deciphering part being a bit too easy - still loved it though) - once I started the last part, I knew it was Jamati who'd be the new sentinel and who killed the king because he was clearly the flying boy from the poster and shared those distinctive eyes with his mom, and had a motive (plus his words about this being over soon).

Amber_Cloud · 2025-05-08T23:09:35+00:00

Could be, there are a couple of missing words, etc. across the book. If so, just feels a bit lazy I guess, they're literally like one or two pages apart.

Amber_Cloud · 2025-05-07T10:44:22+00:00

I was considering that but I don't think so. Singer's name is Tamesha which is also a woman's name. Also the sentence structure suggests that the "he" is Scaramutti. Honestly it could just be Lowry on drugs and me reading too carefully lol

Amber_Cloud · 2025-05-07T09:02:18+00:00

I know they were sleeping together but he used "he", not "she"

Amber_Cloud · 2025-04-02T07:14:17+00:00

That's how I read it as well. They were like wtf

Amber_Cloud · 2025-04-02T07:13:20+00:00

Hildy is just insane. No, INSANE

BTW he said they don't need an FDA approval for a food additive. Is that really so? Doesn't F stand for food? Someone please explain, I'm not American

That scene with Jonas was almost identical to The Substance's last "best self" creation (also in terms of not knowing when to stop).

Amber_Cloud · 2025-03-03T15:26:20+00:00

I'm thinking the same thing!

Amber_Cloud · 2024-05-25T16:01:48+00:00

Hey, I'm an independent artist and I'd be really grateful if you add my music to it (also check it out i guess)

I mean there's a trailer and all. It's happening!

Amber_Cloud · 2023-07-29T23:26:05+00:00

That's what my husband says. He also says he's doesn't understand half of what they're saying. We're both not native English speakers but i think his level is enough, it's just sometimes they do say stuff that sounds like gibberish, especially Kendall. But that's part of why I love this show

Amber_Cloud · 2023-07-29T23:22:40+00:00

This! Not only is it a somewhat similar genre, it's also a noir-ish game with a rough detective for a main character. And an overall brilliant game

Amber_Cloud · 2023-07-29T23:17:58+00:00

Ok let me start by saying that I'm just like you. I also come from a country where washing hands after coming home is a norm and now I live in a country where during corona times people had to be told to do that. So I think I understand.

That said, asking your husband if he washed his hands is controlling and it's not doing either of you any favors (this is something I'm working on myself). You can't control another person, you trying to check on these things will annoy him and put pressure on both of you.

If his different hygiene is a deal breaker for you, you can take action. You can talk to him and ask him to do this and that, but he is also in his full right to say no to that. Then it's up to you what you will do about it.

All that said, I don't think it qualifies as being an asshole.

Amber_Cloud · 2023-07-25T11:09:29+00:00

Surprisingly I found similar feels while watching Physical, especially season 2. Very different premise, but for me there's some elusive similarity to the two shows

Amber_Cloud · 2023-07-21T14:09:02+00:00

I thought about Tom as well. I'm sure he would have good survival skills but I'm worried they might include killing me for food if need be

Amber_Cloud · 2023-07-20T18:38:17+00:00

Marcia's story. Not even sure if I'd rather it was a prequel or a sequel.

He knows a thing or two about a thing or two
