#like the horror of the direct aftermath is like crazy unexplored cause it would just be the horror of realizing their trapped and like Curl

(mouthwashing) curly being stuck in insulating foam has been on the brain lately, something like the role he took on as a captain trying to stabilize the relationships on the ship leading in some way to everything falling apart, the foam protecting the hull of the ship from being breached and total collapse, curly being ripped out of it causing his perspective to change. do you get me!!!

I think its so interesting that like it's so heavily implied and directly stated that Curly felt stuck and trapped in his current life. His prospects were good but he felt stagnant like the Captain of the ship is all he'll ever be.

The impact rock his perspective but getting pulled out of the foam really did it. Like I think what people miss is that the fire likely didn't take all his skin off, not even the impact. The foam likely did most of the real damage to him in taking off the already damaged skin and dismembering him.

You completely get it in that the foam is like him in a way. It helped in all the wrong ways, he survived, they survived but he's barely doing so. All the resources are blocked off sort of how he had to be the one to make the choices with the scanner. It helps by holding things together, but is what it's trying to hold together even worth it?

Do you think Curly regretted not asking himself that about his relationship with Jimmy?
