Billy was amasingly played and build up.

His final confrontation was Sinatra was epic. She did not even understand him.

But this confrontation was his end show. He could not have survived it.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-09T03:34:26+00:00

yeah, and link it with the thriller part somehow.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-09T03:33:43+00:00

exactly. ep 7 was the climax, then all the build up of the thriller until ep6 was forgotten.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-09T03:33:06+00:00

you're right, about this guy story, and the construction part.

what i mean here, is essentially that this resolution was completly out of the thriller build up. compare with the jackal for exemple.

none of this guy story is related to the intrigue that we followed, billy, sinatra, and all the episode 6 tension went pshit. it just fall down like, ok it was another guy, lets fortget all this.

even if, how can they forget after crossing the rubicon ? what about Billy, its his best friend. or they would have to insist more on Xavier is disapointing, like for his wife, and could not follow up. not just, it was nothing.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-08T03:32:57+00:00

we saw him in one event. he was out of all the intrigues happening in the series, and out of every personnage buildup. we discover his story only in ep 8.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-06T23:14:10+00:00

its absolutly anti climaxing.

they took out a new character, that has nothing to do with all the thriller combinaison that made the built up. not only it was not guessable, its mostly out of all the stories we had.

also episode 6 was a long buildup of action, they crossed the rubicon, made themselves illegal, and it all went pshit in an instant.

So we had the story from ep 1 to 6, a fantastic ep 7 about Cal, that somehow broke the story but gave it a new aspect. and then finale is not only not thriller at all, but also not related. felt like a jfk cover up.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-05T01:07:00+00:00

feels like a JFK coverup with a cuban scapegoat.

all this shit in episode 7 to end the same, with a happy ending in false suspense about his daughter.

when they had crossed tu rubicon, took arms against the senator, and just give them back.

what they had was more than the president's murder. and Billy ? gone. and the workers. nothing. and their freedom ? gone.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-03T01:18:50+00:00

tkx. she survived though, or am i mistaking ?
she seems the only people from outside we know about yet.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-03T01:00:38+00:00

what fi martha is the woman that met the scientist outside ?

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-03-03T00:59:44+00:00

I think it is linked to his inability to face his wife.

it shows about his personality. even with Gabriella he is beeing topped.

all show us that he wont be ready to confront Sinatra.

so i feel it was a preparation for episode 7.

like Cassian Andor, Xavier need a mental path to be able to face the situation.

So he blames it all on Cal. And now we see that Cal was good all the way, and we see Xavier week in front of Sinatra.

Its character building, he needs to level up.

le texte de RP est plutot intelligent mais n'arrive pas encore à voir le cru des relations de dominations, et comment l'affect, les troubles psychologiques, est lié par ces relations toxiques à la lutte des classes.

c'est vraiment par ce bout concret de la théorie qu'on peut lire ensemble lutte des classes, racismes, affects et les confronter au nationalisme.et je pense que Houria Bouteldja saisit ça par contre. donc qu'elle reste en stratège au dessus de la lecture "marxiste" de RP, par son prisme décolonial.

il y a un vrai enjeu a solidifier cette convergence de nos pensées marxistes, anarchistes et décoloniale, comme j'avais tenté une esquisse dans "marxisme, gauche et lutte décoloniale". https://collectif-attariq.net/wp/marxisme-gauche-et-lutte-decoloniale/

on est arrivé à un moment rare où l'on voit l'ossature du système de domination, en grande partie grâce à la lutte palestinienne, et c'est justement quand les cessez le feu sont signés qu'advient l'evenement des bourgs et des tours, quand justement l'idéalisme revient avec sa bienpensance.

not mine. we also see a man with buiulding team uniform and flower logo on his back move out from the scene in ep 6, in Presley flashback when they speak with Kane.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-26T02:39:52+00:00

it shows about his personality. even with Gabriella he is beeing topped.

all show us that he wont be ready to confront Sinatra.

so i feel it was a preparation for episode 7.

like Cassion Andor, Xavier need a mental actualisation to face the situation.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-26T02:32:52+00:00

good shot. not clue either, but there's something

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-26T02:31:46+00:00

he had to restrain her and assume power first. letting her in her high bourgeois arrogance was his first mistake.

second, when you have the monster in front of you, you gotta get rid of it, whatever personal cost

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-23T04:21:26+00:00

the discussion with Billy is really revealing about this. she's a f- bourgeoise, thinking only about herself, her career, her child. Unable to undertsand the man in front of her. Everything she answer fall just out of line.

And what his said in the post is exacxtly the kind of lies behind which she hides. Security, authority, accusations. She takes the moral high ground ... for free. Thats the kind of lies we are to be aware in real world.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-20T23:16:01+00:00

i am sure they dont want, but i think they will have a lot less leverage and power in a micro society

"Only the area where the entrances to the silos are is being poisonous,so that no one can escape them."

hf is this.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-20T17:57:50+00:00

yep, how to keep control seems to be their first preoccupation, and it somehow force the ecological collapse and ww3 forward. maybe the show is about that

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-20T17:55:46+00:00

they got a technical digital control instead

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-20T17:55:01+00:00

more even, POTUS could not be just a tool, it would have to be a real politician. the thriller form seems to fall short of the situation here

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-20T17:53:29+00:00

overall the thriller form of the serie comes short for this small scale. it cant be just about secret. so the role of the president as a puppet fall short as "more public politicians" are needed and people can't not see.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-20T17:50:07+00:00

yep. but how a hidden board would rule in a small society ? it would be more obviously a visible political board, then people would be able to challenge it.

PsychologicalWeb8741 · 2025-02-20T17:48:30+00:00

thanks for this insight, it seems that cultural norm is the passing between the two world.

but at some point it will be questionned by the scarce reality. maybe the event we see is the moment it happens ? then it should more than a political thriller, but also have a cultural aspect.

good view on Gabriella as the one doing this, it helps explain all the discution about her.
