So for non-Christians the Imagination Station is a stolen Gitmo interrogation device?

2024-01-01 13:19:27 +0000 UTCThe Star and Back to Bethlehem really makes you wonder why so many characters (who have been programmed by whit) all want to fuck Connie. Sure she’s a cute kid whatever, but how many times have these grown men asked for her hand in marriage? Kinda sus ngl

2023-12-10 07:20:16 +0000 UTCMaybe it's just because I've had The Mortal Coil talked up to me for a long time - I knew about the episode as a child but never actually heard it - but I was surprised by how underwhelmed I was by the vision of hell. Will Ryan sells it and it would definitely have traumatized young me like it did yourselves, but hearing it as an adult I'm struck by how empty that conception of hell feels. It seems significant to me that other works (like "No Exit") have grappled with hell and turned up the exact opposite concept. Narratively, hell as a place of total loneliness doesn't tell us anything interesting about Eugene as a character, why that would be hell for him; even ideologically, it only tells us things about American fundamentalism in the broadest strokes. I don't think the episode would be better if Eugene were suspended over a tar pit and prodded by giggling devils, but by the same token it feels like the Mortal Coil's vision of hell exists primarily to *not* be that, to be as "tasteful" as possible. It scans to me as "highbrow" posturing, an extension of the continuous C.S. Lewis jerkoff you mentioned earlier in the ep
