Blog 30: III: 17


1a. This scene from “Epitaph One” is a flashback that involved Adelle DeWitt and Topher Brink. Adelle enters a room where Topher is sitting in a hole surrounded by piles of books. Topher is very excited to see Adelle. He grabs her hand and instantly starts talking about his technology, but he doesn’t seem to be in a stable state of mind. He seems to be going crazy in some way. She asks if he has had anything to eat, but he hasn’t. He on continues saying, “One robo call to a City; that’s all it takes. An entire army in a single instant in the hands of any government and boom.” He talks about how the technology could create a war with two sides: one side programmed to kill those who didn’t answer the call and the other side those who didn’t answer the call. Topher makes Adelle promise she won’t answer the phone and she agrees. Adelle suggests that she read something to him, but he continues thinking about the war. He ponders the question of whether it is better to answer the call or not, and he realizes how brilliant the idea was. Then he asks, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Suddenly Topher realizes he thought of this technology to program an entire army in an instant causing an apocalyptic world. Topher can’t handle what he has done and starts having a breakdown repeating “Oh my god.” Topher climes back in his hole, still breaking down, and begins to cry as Adelle comforts him ending the scene.
1b. highlighted word should be in present tense.
2a. During the final scene in "Epitaph One" Mag, Zone, and the mind-imprinted Caroline climb up the elevator shaft and arrive in Adelle’s old office. When they reach the top they look out over the ruined city with crumbling buildings and destruction everywhere. As the imprinted Caroline looks out she says, “It was playing with matches and they burned the house down.” She then walks over to a wall where a large collection of pictures of a lot of the Actives followed throughout the series are hanging on the wall. Imprinted Caroline picks out a picture of herself and says she hopes she'll find herself alive; then she puts the photo back. The scene ends with the group climbing out the window, starting their journey to Safe Haven.
2b. everything seems fine
