Space Slave page 14

This page really could have been cut. The only reason I let it in was Mary Anne (Brenda) starting with her exercise to hold on to a little part of herself. It's said that to survive such things as torture and long imprisonment you have to grab onto one little thing and just repeat it. One guy in the Hanoi Hilton worked on Pi, another would walk through a house, room by room examining everything there in exhaustive detail. Even something as simple as a poem or in this case a song. With all this talk of numbness, it is an appropriate song.
Stavka, NKVD, Gestopo, Cardassians all wish they had the stuff this Grey Gal has. Well, maybe not the Cardassians. Before putting this together I did see ST:TNG Chain of Command parts One and Two again. One of the better episodes to see David Warner and Patrick Stewart square off against each other.
I have to admit being a big David Warner Fan and prefer him to that other oh so cynical British actor Alan Rickman. David Warner played Evil in Time Bandits. I mean he also played arguably the most evil Nazi of all time, not once but twice! He portrayed Reinhard Heydrich the master mind of the Final Solution in both Holocaust and SS: Portrait of Evil .
And at the other end of the Germany in World War II spectrum Kiesel in Cross of Iron
One of favorite war movies and a good book too.

Showing feelings of an almost human nature! This will not do!

No NOT THE CAPTAIN TOO!

David Warner steels the show as Evil.

Don't touch That! That's pure evil! Love Time Bandits.

I'm glad you kept this in; it's a powerful scene. And it's also good she wasn't more of an Elton John fan, because it wouldn't work quite as well with the atmosphere if she were reciting Bennie and the Jets.

It's the whole numb thing. You'd almost think someone had planned it that way.

The Pink Floyd is perfect enhancement to the atmosphere here!

That's it - concentrate on Pink Floyd songs...! Excellent page! In one page I have more hope!! :D

So does she.
agentny003 at 5:33AM, May 17, 2018
Uh-oh. I feel something big going to happen soon.
agentny003 at 5:07PM, May 18, 2018
Exactly.
