Major Blake and Mortimer exhibition announced, putting recent controversy firmly behind the series, plus Cinebook checklist

Edgar P. Jacobs and his very British duo ‘Blake and Mortimer‘, published in English by Cinebook, are the focus on a new exhibition at the Belgian Comic Strip Center, also known as the Comics Art Museum, in Brussels, opening next month. Curated by Eric Dubois, the Odyssey to the origins of Blake and Mortimer exhibition aims to place the heritage work of Blake and Mortimer in its aesthetic,…

Plot twist: 

the whole team thinks it was Rebecca / Ted / Keeley /etc, and they all confess the murder separately, without knowing that the others did too. All of them come up with something absolutely ridiculous story of how and why they did it. 

The movie is not as much about figuring out who murdered Rupert, but about how to stop these idiots from tripping over their feet and falling into prison due to their idiocy.

Benoit and Ted keep telling each other their best stories and peptalks while Ted assists the investigation.

Plot twist number 2: 

in the end it turns out it was Rebecca’s mom and Mae together, who were barely part of the movie until that point and no one suspected or accused them. However they’re more clever than anyone gives credit to them and did it in a way that cannot be proven in court.

That's the best idea ever

oh interesting, I deeply disagree

I definitely think Harlan is meant to be flawed as well — any romanticizing of him does the narrative a disservice. it's his family, after all. he's largely responsible for how he raised his children and, by extension, how they raised their children. his money and fame affected him differently because he earned it, but his children and grandchildren were handed their privilege. (iirc he says he regrets handing Walt the publishing company because he essentially robbed Walt of the opportunity to build something of his own.)

I don't think Harlan "died trying to bring his mystery novels to life." he was taking notes on the situation before he thought he was going to die because his dedication to his novels was a character flaw (I think you could argue he didn't raise his children to be humble and 'good' because he loved writing more than his family). once Marta tells him the thing that could save his life is not in the medical bag, he sobers up immensely. reality sets in. he's no longer thinking about his novels, he's trying to come up with a way to save Marta. because he realizes he is going to die.

is it complicated and something out of a murder mystery? of course it is, that's what he knows. it's what he's good at. but he absolutely does it for Marta.

as far as the idea of Harlan "recording something to insist it wasn't negligence" — that wouldn't work imo. as far as Harlan knew, it was negligence. a mistake. which is negligence. because Marta, as a medical professional, owed Harlan, her patient, a duty of care and they both believed she had breached that duty of care. and that's just negligence as far as civil torts are involved.

if Marta had actually given Harlan a lethal dose of morphine, she would absolutely be convicted of something whether that be negligent homicide, manslaughter, etc. I'm no expert on that but I know a video from Harlan would not spare her this fate because he would be, you know, dead. prosecutors don't really care if a victim doesn't blame the person that killed them.

Harlan also tells Marta they can't try to save him because any investigation into Marta would reveal her mother as an illegal immigrant (and he knew that he had left everything to Marta in his will, and that she would not get that inheritance if she was found guilty of his death in criminal court or liable for his death in civil court) but if no one knew she was involved, her inheritance would allow her to pay for the best lawyers and keep her mother from being deported.

this story is a tragedy because Harlan died when he didn't have to. the tragedy is based on the fact that Marta and Harlan did not know he wasn't actually given a lethal dose of morphine. Harlan's actions were to save Marta, he used his knowledge of murder mysteries to help her evade police suspicion because that's what he knew and also because it makes a good movie. he'd been selfish his whole life, evidenced by the way he raised selfish children, and his last act on this earth was one of selflessness.

I think it does the movie a disservice to say he died trying to bring one of his books to life as though it was all for fun and he didn't actually care. the tragedy is that he did care, very much, so much so that he died when he didn't have to, just so Marta could be safe.

knives out is so good for so many reasons but I really appreciate how utterly, absolutely, devastatingly sad it is that Harlan didn't have to die. he didn't want anything bad to happen to Marta because of a mistake she didn't actually make. he would've been fine. she was his friend and he died to protect her. what a perfectly executed tragedy.

remnants character recurrences and theories

Okay. I convinced my best friend to listen to remnants and she loves it just as much as I do. We just had a very long facetime call where we poured over the transcripts. I believe we have identified each character recurrence in the podcast so far. You can see these connections plus some theories below :) (I might be spelling some of the names wrong I'm very sorry if I am) (Might not be 100% in order either but it should make sense)

Benoit is Celine's son in episode 1 and in episode 4 he talks with and kisses Marcus.

Lord Du Perier is in episode 1, he is the person that Celine has a relationship with and we know that he is married at this time. It is mentioned that Du Perier is not his real name. In episode 7 we meet his daughter Amelie and he calls himself Teddy.

Sarah is the nanny in episode 2 of both Paige and Christopher. She is mentioned in episode 9 as being Paige and Jonny's nanny and as being assaulted by Christian, falling pregnant with his child.

Mr Jones is the Bevan family (Paige, Jonny, Maud and Christian)'s gardener and also seemingly the landlord of Annie and Sally as is mentioned in episodes 9 and 10.

Christian and Maud are the parents of Paige and Jonny. They are mentioned in episodes 2, 6 and 9. Christian is who Eliza, from episode 6, is in a relationship with. It is mentioned that he has a young wife, Maud and that the Glanville family is friendly with the Bevans. It is assumed that Christian is the father of Eliza's child, though in episode 9 Maud doubts that this is the case, saying that the son does not look like how Christian's children usually do. It is said that Pearl sent a letter claiming that Christian is the father and also that Eliza died in childbirth.

Edward Pocket is the adopted son of the Pocket's as is mentioned in episodes 9 and 10. In episode 10 Sally says that he died along with his parents; however, in episode 9 Annie meets him after coming back and he claims that Sally died saving him. We know that this is not truly Edward, rather it is someone impersonating him, because he does not have the eye colour that Annie remembers and he does not know that he is adopted. He takes over the law firm Cratchet and Pocket. Interestingly, he appears in episode 3 as the solicitor who gives Gerald Simmeon's will (the scream I scrumpt when we discovered that omg). It seems to be implied that Ted could be impersonating Edward because he would know about Victor and Sally as Edward does when he meets Annie in episode 10. However, he mentions Victor having a sister and Victor only ever mentioned a brother.

I strongly believe that whoever is impersonating Edward Pocket is connected to at least Annie's murder, indicating that he might be connected to the others as well.

Very interesting that in this episode it was revealed that A practically is a remnant himself. Does this mean that Sir’s insistence that A judge the remnants is more so that he can judge A and work out how to process him? Is all of this not actually about sorting the remnants at all and more about sorting A? I’m not sure. 

Also I'm thinking the sentient dust might be like, the consciousness from discarded remnants. That’s a TRUE crackpot theory though.

The moths from the podcast cover being the moth-like letters of the apprentice written across whatever extreme amount of time is very interesting.

The music box is also very interesting in that it appeared both times A’s memory got wiped. I also mentally connect it with episode 6 beyond that, because the song it is playing is from Swan Lake and Eliza dreamed of being a ballet dancer. Which COULD mean NOTHING. If we get a remnant that is a music box I'll literally scream. Especially if it ends up being Eliza's.
