NEVER-ENDING DARLING

A girl with no memories of the previous day found a note stating that she is a clone.

AGRIPPA: I have not spoken to you, because I am aware, that my feelings for you are hopeless. OCTAVIA: That's for me to say, isn't it? AGRIPPA: No, it's not. My father was a nobody. His father was a slave. I have not a drop of good blood in me. OCTAVIA: So you have risen purely by merit, surely that is commendable in its way. AGRIPPA: You are sister to Gaius Octavian Caesar. You will not be married to a commendable son of a nobody. OCTAVIA: I'll marry who I like. AGRIPPA: No, you won't. You will marry some useful nobleman of your brother's choosing. ... AGRIPPA: I'm sorry. I've been torturing myself these last months. I cannot... I cannot bear to- OCTAVIA: Don't. [AND THEN, THEY KISS, KISS, KISS]

The way this sounds like a perfectly general philosophical aphorism but if you consumed enough enlightenment drama you realise it's actually a well-aimed call-out of a *certain* former friend --

You know, every time I watch your practice clips, I only see your effort and determination. If you didn't really love it, you wouldn't be working so hard for it.

The world is a stage

you can control—

as playwright:

the story,

the plot,

the ending,

and the characters.

But you cannot

control the function of it—

the lights,

the sounds,

the audience.

And that’s life.

parallels that make me simultaneously go “OOOOH” excited pointing

and

“oh… the only real thing that changes about ourselves as we get older is…that we get old, huh? …”

"They’re saying all this is your will."

Meridian, the Philosopher – played by Annette Badland

In your benevolence, the Philosopher appeals for A sign of your loving indulgence.

@merelymatt says, what can I say about Annette Badland? A legend; a pro; we're so lucky to have her. Her first take was prepared and flawless, then director Rob gave her a different direction to try, and her second take was as flawless as if she'd known what he'd suggest and rehearsed that too. She just flipped a switch and immediately became this alternative version of the character, without a stumble. It's all the team could talk about for the rest of the day.
