[eveningspirit]

I am pleasantly surprised by this week's episode of The Ark. I will reiterate that the writers of this show are abysmal when it comes to the science of this sci-fi. They are however really good, when it comes to the characters and their arcs.

So, one of the main trio died last week. However, a few weeks back, his clone joined the show. So, you know, the actor stays. I was apalled by this development, especially considering the developing will-they/won't-they with another one of the main trio, as well as the friendship between the now-dead guy and my fave.

The friendship thing was dealt with by obvious grief my boi James expressed. You know, being withdrawn and drinking maybe too much.. Although not in a way that would be noticed by anyone, you know. I could like this storyline, although, let's be honest, I'd rather his illness recurred, than have yet another substance abuse story. Whatevs. We'll see.

I still want to see his feelings toward Ian, the clone.

Now, the romance... For most of the episode I was rolling my eyes, but as they say, they ending can ruin the story, or lift it to excellence. This one was definitely on the excellent side of the scale.

Sharon and Ian got locked in a shared coma dream, where they lived onboard Ark One for decades, all alone. They slowly, over time developed mutual respect, friendship, then, of course, love. We didn't witness it, like we did with Sharon and Lane, over the course of nearly two seasons. It felt like cheating the audience. I was a little less mad at them, than I was last week, when I was sure they would try to force Sharon and Ian together, despite them not sharing the same history that Sharon and Lane shared. I was proven right, although this week I was kind of ready to fogive it. In a *hand-wave it* way.

But then, that ending totally changed my impression into *great job!*

Throughout the episode -- or actually starting more or less in the middle and then repeated more often toward the end -- a concept of "this is a dream, none of this is real" was seeded (at first the whole thing could have been interpreted as a physical phenomenon (like Picard in one Star Trek episode -- he really lived through the experience and had trouble readjusting to his reality afterwards), but later it became clear, it was strictly psychological). And, you know. When you wake up from a dream that feels very real while you're dreaming it, the true reality takes over and the realness of the dream fades. The same thing happened here. Sharon woke up and remembered(tm). She asked Ian that they never talk about it. And then she cried over Lane, as she marked his personal file "deceased". She mourned him. She even said "It should have been you".

It's a storytelling technique called "lampshading". The author is telling the audience, "Yes, I know this idea has problems. Many problems. This is problem number one, this is problem number two, this is number three and these are some more. I am aware of all of them. I still want to tell this story, though. Will you bear with me? (please take my hand as I lead you into the unknown)" And, well, it worked for me.

Would I like to see the story of Sharon Garnet and Spenser Lane? Sure I would (bear in mind I'm not really a shipper). I get why it had to be reset, though, too. It got to a point, where they were on a "yeah, we would trajectory". And telling a story of a couple that just gets to build a life is considered boring in some circles. I'm now okay with seeing the story of Sharon Garnet and Ian (noname).

What I most regret is the relationship between James Brice and Spenser Lane. They had a juicy conflict going on, that will now remain unresolved (although, it seems it will be a source of angst for Brice, so, okay-ish?). James has a few other friends, I guess? Sasha? Alicia? Angus? (although the latter two are more like his proteges, than friends). He might get closer with Felix. He's friends with Sharon, of course. Although, his friendship with Lane was special. So yeah, I will miss that. But I guess I'm not quitting this show, like I threatened last week (to myself). I'll watch the remaining eps of S2, and I'll hope for a season three.

Has anyone else started watching this series called The Ark because I just started watching it and it reminds me of The 100

Should I write a book about the series???

THE ARK?

I discovered a sci-fi show that’s already in its second season and I didn’t know it existed. That’s one problem with all the independent streaming services - it hard to know about everything that’s available. The show is “The Ark” and it’s on the Syfy channel (which I no longer get) but I found it on the Peacock streaming service which I get free.

I’m not recommending it per se, at this point I’m just sharing that it exists.

As you might guess by its title, it’s about a ship from Earth ship traveling to Alpha Centauri (just like the Jupiter 2). I thought the first episode started well… a cold open where the ship suffers a disaster and one of the units containing cryo chambers is damaged and torn away. In another cryo chamber, the passengers awaken and are able to escape into the main part of the ship. The command crew and most of the senior staff are dead. The surviving crew are younger and less experienced

I thought the design of the ship looked good, and effects and editing were better than you might expect from a TV budget. So I decided to watch some more.

The bulk of the cast looks to be between 20 and 30, emphasizing the idea that they are inexperienced. I like the main character - Lt. Sharon Garnet played by Christie Burke. Garnet young but shes one of the highest ranking officers left alive. Apparently Burke played Renesmee Cullen in the Twilight movies.

There are also two other lieutenants: Lt. Lane (Reece Ritchie). He far too unlikable, argumentative and wants to be in charge. The other is Lt. Brice (Richard Fleeshman). He’s the more laid back and tries to be useful. I like the Brice but Lane should be thrown out an airlock.

And of course there the over-worked doctor who resorts to taking drugs to stay alert. (Another over used trope.)

A few years ago there was a show that was part of the Stargate franchise - Stargate Universe . It involve a bunch of random character stuck on a ship traveling between galaxies. It had a nerd who was a genius at solving things - in every episode. Well - the Ark has two of those nerds - a girl nerd (Alicia played by Stacey Read). And a boy nerd (Angus played by Ryan Adams). If they had a nerd-off competition - Alicia would win hands down because she’s nerdy and perky at the same time. Alicia and Angus take turns every other episode solving the latest disaster. Neither of them irritates me as much as the nerd from Stargate Universe but the genius nerd trope is wearing thin.

After episode 4 I started skipping or fast forwarding scenes. There were too many episodes where a part of the ship malfunctions and they need to solve it immediately. Then there’s the problem with scientific inaccuracy….

In a season 2 episode, they need more fuel and conveniently discover a star system in between Earth and Alpha Centauri. But Alpha Centauri is the nearest star to Earth! UGH! That kind of lame research has no place in a 21st Century sci-fi show!

I stopped that episode and skipped to one where they encounter a parallel version of their ship. Truthfully, it’s the best episode of the ones I’ve seen (even tho, with all my skipping around I didn’t know all the characters). But… dammit! The girl nerd immediately says she would try and untangle the quantum entanglement. Apparently nerds are how writers can solve anything, any time, any where!

Whitechapel series 3 press pack

Whitechapel – Real life cases highlighted by Buchan in the series

Story 1

Ratcliffe Highway Murders The Ratcliffe Highway murders were two vicious attacks that resulted in multiple fatalities, and occurred over twelve days in the year 1811, in homes half a mile apart near Wapping in London.

The first attack took place on 7th December 1811 at a home behind a linen draper’s shop on Ratcliffe Highway (now called The Highway). The victims were Timothy Marr (a 24 year old linen draper and hosier), his wife Celia, their 3-month-old son Timothy and James Gowen, their shop boy. Margaret Jewell, a servant of the Marrs, had been sent to purchase oysters, and subsequently escaped. The murder caused the government to offer a reward of 500 guineas for the apprehension of the perpetrator.

Twelve days later on the 19th December, the second attack happened at The Kings Arms in New Gravel Lane (now Garnet street). The victims were John Williamson, 56 year old publican who had been at the Kings Arms for 15 years, his 60 year old wife Elizabeth and Bridget Anna Harrington in her late 50's, a servant. Williamson's 14-year-old granddaughter, Catherine (Kitty) Stillwell, slept through the incident and was thus not discovered. John Turner, a lodger and journeyman, discovered the murders and escaped out of an upper window, using a knotted sheet to climb down to the street below.

A principal suspect in the murders, John Williams (also known as Murphy), was a lodger at the nearby Pear Tree public house in Old Wapping. He was a 27-year-old Scottish or Irish seaman. He had nursed a grievance against Marr from when they were shipmates, but the subsequent murders at the Kings Arms remain unexplained. Williams was arrested, but committed suicide by hanging himself in prison; he was buried with a stake through his heart at the junction of Commercial Road and Cannon Street Road.

Charles Manson, 1969, Sharon Tate On the night of August 8, Manson directed Charles Watson to take Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel to "that house where Melcher used to live" and "totally destroy everyone in [it], as gruesome as you can." He told the women to do as Watson would instruct them. The current occupants of the house, all of whom were strangers to the Manson followers, were movie actress Sharon Tate, wife of famed director Roman Polanski and eight and a half months pregnant; her friend and former lover, hairstylist Jay Sebring; Polanski's friend and aspiring screenwriter Wojciech Frykowski, and Frykowski’s lover Abigail Folger, heiress to the Folger coffee fortune. Tate's husband, Polanski, was in London working on a film project; Tate had been visiting with him and had returned to the United States only three weeks earlier.

Richard Farley Richard Farley is an American convicted mass murderer. A former employee of Electromagnetic Systems Labs (ESL) in Sunnyvale, California, he stalked co-worker Laura Black for four years beginning in 1984. Black obtained a temporary restraining order against him on February 2, 1988, with a court date set for February 17, 1988 to make the order permanent. On February 16, 1988, Farley shot and killed seven people at ESL and wounded four others, including Black. He was convicted of seven counts of first degree murder, and is currently sitting on death row at San Quentin.

Story 2

The Thames Torso mystersties of 1887-1889 The Whitehall Mystery is an unsolved murder from London in 1888. The dismembered remains of a woman were found at three different sites in central London, including the future site of Scotland Yard. Newspapers suggested a tie to Jack the Ripper's killings of prostitutes that were occurring simultaneously, but the Metropolitan Police said there was no connection.

Mary Ann Cotton Born Mary Ann Robson in October 1832 in Low Moorsley, County Durham, she died 24 March 1873. She was an English woman convicted of murdering her husband and children and is believed to have murdered up to 21 people, mainly by arsenic poisoning.

Mary Wilson Killed four lovers with phosphorus and claimed they took it in‘sexual stimulation pills’s

Mary Wilson (c. 1893 - 1963) also known as the Merry widow of Windy Nook, was a serial killer and the last woman to be sentenced to death in Durham, in 1958. However the sentence was not carried out as it was commuted to a prison sentence.

An exhumation of the bodies of her last two husbands revealed high levels of phosphorus. Her defense claimed the substance was contained in their medication. Wilson was convicted of murdering two of her four husbands with beetle poison in 1956 and 1957. The remains of her earlier two husbands were exhumed at a later date and pointed to the same cause of death.

Dr Crippen Dr. Crippen, was an American homeopathic physician hanged in Pentonville Prison, London, on 23 November 1910, for the murder of his wife, Cora Henrietta Crippen. A theory, which was first propounded by Edward Marshall Hall, was that Crippen was using hyoscine on his wife as a depressant or an aphrodisiac but accidentally gave her an overdose and then panicked when she died.

The Lonely heart Killers Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, who met after Beck placed a lonely-hearts ad, became known as "The Lonely Hearts Killers" after their arrest and trial for serial murder in 1949. Between 1947 and 1949 they are believed to have killed as many as twenty women.

The Black Eyed Borgia and her Playboy lover Mary Frances Creighton and Everett Appelgate, both convicted and executed for the murder of Ada Creighton (Appelgate’s wife) from arsenic poisoning.

H.H.Holmes (May 16, 1861[1] – May 7, 1896), better known under the alias of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, was one of the first documented American serial killers in the modern sense of the term. In Chicago at the time of the 1893 World's Fair, Holmes opened a hotel which he had designed and built for himself specifically with murder in mind, and which was the location of many of his murders. While he confessed to 27 murders, of which nine were confirmed, his actual body count could be as high as 250. He took an unknown number of his victims from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, which was less than 2 miles away from his "World's Fair" hotel.

Marquis de Sade An episode in Marseille, in 1772, involved the non-lethal poisoning of prostitutes with the supposed aphrodisiac Spanish fly and sodomy with his manservant Latour. That year the two men were sentenced to death in absentia for sodomy and said poisoning.

Thomas Huskey, 1999 Knoxville, Tennessee Accused killer of 4 women in Tennessee. Nicknamed the "Zoo Man", Huskey worked at the Knoxville Zoo and allegedly took his victims here. He talked of ‘Kyle’, a separate, darker personality that was responsible for a series of murders.

Arthur Ford, 1954 Arthur Ford became infatuated with a woman called Betty Grant who worked in his office on Euston Road. He bought a coconut nice for both Betty and a friend that he had laced with cantharidin; both died after eating it.

Story 3

Bogeyman A bogeyman is an amorphous imaginary being used by adults to frighten children into compliant behaviour. The monster has no specific appearance, and conceptions about it can vary drastically from household to household within the same community; in many cases, he has no set appearance in the mind of an adult or child, but is simply a non-specific embodiment of terror. Parents may tell their children that if they misbehave, the bogeyman will get them. Bogeymen may target a specific mischief — for instance, a bogeyman that punishes children who suck their thumbs — or general misbehavior, depending on what purpose needs serving. In some cases, the bogeyman is a nickname for the devil.

Zodiac Killer Masked serial killer in California in 1960s/1970s who said that ‘hunting humans was the most exciting of all sports’

The Phantom US, 1940s. Killed on full moons, wore a white mask and attacked eight by the light of the moon. Of whom the sheriff said “no one sees him, no one hears him in time.”

Robert Williams The case of the man who killed a girl in Hyde Park in 1928. The man claimed that the film ‘London After Midnight’ sent him insane, and that he saw Lon Chaney in the park, forcing him to murder the girl with a razor.

Scared to death In 1840, Sir Robert Warboys had heard of a tale of a parlour maid who had seen the spectral presence and had been driven insane. He wanted to disprove the haunting, and armed with a shotgun, went to spend the night in the attic room. The house was woken at midnight when a shot rang out. They found Warboys dead from fright.

Then in 1878, Lord Lyttleton stayed the night. He loaded his gun with silver sixpennies said to ward off evil. For him it worked and he survived to tell the tale.

Couple on a spree together – Caril Ann Fugate and Charles Starkweather. Nebraska, 1957. Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate. They killed 11 in all. Including her parents and two year old sister. She was only 14 at the time. Nobody knows how many she killed. She said she was held hostage by Starkweather. He said she was a willing participant. He was executed in 1959. She was paroled in 1976. And to this day she has never spoken of the murders, so no one knows how involved she really was.

Tsuyama Massacre The Tsuyama massacre was a spree killing that occurred on 21 May 1938 in the rural village of Kaio close to Tsuyama city in Okayama, Japan. Mutsuo Toi, a 21-year-old man, killed 30 people, including his grandmother, with a shotgun, Japanese sword, and axe, and seriously injured three others before killing himself with the shotgun.
