[QUOTE="damiller, post: 9395359, member: 10995"] I rewatched the latest episode and just so much good stuff. The soundtrack is a tone poem if ever there was one just fantastic. And i particularly watched the "Sith" scenes. They are the reverse of the Empire Strikes Back scenes, but start off the same. Both Yoda and Qimir start off as fools. Then they diverge. Yoda is a typical Zen Master. Seemingly belittling, making the student beg to be included, then sending them into a dark in a trial. Yoda bursts into Luke's life, demanding attention. And then at the trial, abandons him. Qimir is bold. Doesn't seek, but expects her to follow. He speaks soothing words, and easy platitudes. There is no working for entrance. Its there for the taking. Qimir stays with her, he never lets her be on her own. He walks her through the dark trial. Both say that the student will find in the darkness"Only what you take with you." (though they are out of sequence to one another - Qimir says that at the end of the episode, and it is the only time she is alone. In fact he says that its just her and the force, yet according to Yoda and the Jedi - the force IS the connections, not something seperate.) Luke cuts the head off his darkness, and meets himself. Oshie doesn't cut the head off and meet herself. And lets not forget Master Sol. He is also following the zen master frame. He is leaving Mae alone with herself. He is not really present in the cave with her (notice that the ship is quite dark, she is alone with herself.) And he literally at the end of the episode puts her in a double bind (a favorite technique of zen masters I am told) Just some random blabberings, but if you can't tell. I really love this show!!! Oh, and the Vernestra scenes had a HUUUUUGGGGGGEEEE Prince Humperdink vibe to me. "There was a great fight here...if she is otherwise when I find her, I will be..put out." [/QUOTE]
