Susan Sontag, "In Plato's Cave", On Photography [transcript in ALT]

The Left Hand of Darkness in 10 color scripted scenes. The scene when the rain clouds lift as they emerge from between the narrowed ridges and first see the ice across the valley of ice and volcanoes, and Estraven says “I’m glad I have lived to see this”.

[ID:

Frame 1: These first 4 frames are one scene. Genly and Estraven trek through the ravine under heavy snow. The color is grayish and vague; you can barely see their silhouettes.

Frame 2: They emerge to a cliff overlooking a dark valley of volcanos and an endless sheet of blinding white ice on the other side under a clear sky. They and their sled look tiny compared to the vast landscape.

Frame 3: A cut to their side profiles standing side by side looking hopefully out at the snow with warm light hitting their faces. This is the scene where Estraven says ‘I’m glad I have lived to see this.’

Frame 4: The two descend into the valley. The bright color make the scene feel hopeful despite the grim danger of the dark valley.

You’re in his DMs, I’m in his moving castle victimizing his fire demon and apprentice with my cleaning skills. We are not the same.

i hate that man but this is one of the most devastating episodes of television i've ever watched

[shaherzad]

the fact that logan dies unseen offscreen on a random-ass plane...totally bathetic shocking ending devoid of catharsis or meaning or anything. crazy how someone can be the center of the universe one day and then gone the next. so fitting for the show. the goddamn episode title isn't even named after him
