I think THW's epilogue would work slightly better if Hiccup was a bit older, maybe around Stoick's age. I know the movie pushed the idea of dragons being just instictual animals (as contradictory as it is towards not only the franchise as a whole, but also the film itself), but to me it feels more plausible for Toothless to start forgetting his life with Hiccup after 20+ years rather than 10, if I'm being led to believe they were such an unbreakable bond.

More importantly though, I would've prefered if instead of only Hiccup's family having one last flight; the whole 'gang' was there. While them being an actual friendgroup is more of a RTTE thing (unfortunately), I don't see why everyone else should be excluded, especially Valka. I mean, Astrid got to see her own dragon again. Why couldn't others? Are Hiccup, Astrid and their children the only ones allowed to break the rule? Was Hiccup really the only one to have actual friendship with a dragon?

On an unrelated note, the detail of people forgetting dragons and even claiming they never existed can work - as long as it's meant to interpreted as their existence being forgotten over the course of history, instead of when Hiccup was still alive. Maybe even Berkians and their allies themselves wrote them out to keep the secret safe.

i’m going to be honest, the whole “ruby’s mom was only special because we gave her significance” was bit too wishy washy for me. i feel like it really didn’t answer anything about the blatantly supernatural aspects of ruby. almost felt moffat-like where in trying to outsmart the audience it just ends up unfulfilling.

“Something Shining” ~ documentary on the 1978 disappearance of Australian pilot Frederick Valentich

Upon first glance, one might mistake the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death for an innocent child's plaything. However, a closer inspection reveals something far more sinister. These intricate dollhouses, created by Frances Glessner Lee, depict anything but happy families. 

The series consists of eighteen dollhouses, each designed to aid in the solving of unsolved murders at a time when forensic science was virtually non-existent. Frances would attend crime scenes and autopsies to create accurate and detailed miniature crime scenes, complete with blood spatter, furniture placement, and other subtle clues that could be used to solve the crimes.

When Spirits Inspire: Rosemary Brown’s Musical Mediumship

Rosemary Brown’s extraordinary claims of channeling music from the likes of Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy have long fascinated and polarized audiences, sparking a maelstrom of debate at the nexus of creativity, spirituality, and skepticism. On one hand, her alleged ability to produce works reminiscent of the great masters, despite modest musical training, challenges conventional wisdom on the origins of artistic expression. On the other, the lack of empirical evidence to substantiate her claims invites skepticism, underscoring the tension between the human propensity for belief and the rigors of rational inquiry.

At the heart of Brown’s paradox lies the question of creativity’s essence: is artistic expression inherently personal and earthly, or can it transcend mortal boundaries, tapping into a collective, eternal reservoir of creative potential? Proponents of Brown’s claims point to the advanced harmonies and tonality characteristic of the channeled composers’ styles, suggesting a supernormal origin that defies earthly explanation. Conversely, skeptics dismiss the works as either unacknowledged personal talent or fabrication, highlighting the human capacity for self-delusion and the fallibility of perception. Notably, the decision of renowned pianists to record her works lends a degree of credibility to their stylistic authenticity, yet this does not conclusively prove the paranormal aspect of her claims.

The subjective nature of evaluating artistic merit, particularly when authorship is in question, further complicates the debate. Expert opinions on the compositions’ quality are sharply divided, reflecting the intricate dance between technical skill, psychological factors, and the observer’s predispositions. This dichotomy underscores the need for a balanced assessment, one that considers both the compositional nuances and the contextual influences shaping perception. By acknowledging the complexities of human experience, we may better understand the motivations and beliefs underlying Brown’s claims, and indeed, the broader implications of her case.

Brown’s background, marked by adversity, might suggest a predisposition to seeking comfort in spiritualism. However, investigations revealing no evidence of deception or mental aberration, coupled with portrayals of her sincerity and unassuming nature, complicate skeptical viewpoints. This finding highlights the importance of approaching such cases with empathy, recognizing that the human psyche is capable of navigating extraordinary experiences without necessitating deception or pathology. By doing so, we open ourselves to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships between art, spirituality, and the human experience.

The far-reaching implications of Brown’s story extend beyond the realm of music or her personal life, contributing to fundamental discussions about consciousness and the possibility of life after death. For some, her channeling serves as anecdotal evidence reinforcing the notion of an afterlife, where creative energies persist beyond the mortal coil. Skeptics, conversely, view it as a testament to human creativity and the boundless potential of the human mind, even in the face of adversity. Brown’s case encourages a thoughtful examination of the interplay between belief, creativity, and the human experience, inviting us to reflect on the mysteries surrounding us.

For Whom the Doll Toes

First of all, I had a fantastic time overall with watching Louise stage all those intricate little murder scenes in the dollhouses. The girl absolutely deserves a dollhouse of her own for more of that.

I had some great laughs from Linda and Tina, especially, and I loved the background business name puns we got in the episode. I am a little saddened by the very lowstakes resolution of Louise's story. It's a nice family moment to see her appreciate Gene's sweetness, but it feels a bit repetitive as she already had to learn the lesson about being overprotective of Gene back in Drumforgiven.

One of my greatest joys in the episode is also my greatest disappointment with it. That stems from my knowledge and love for Frances Glessner Lee, the mother of forensics, and her Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death (minutely detailed dollhose investigation scenes), which have historical significance for training investigators in forensics and in identifying clues.

Her work is the origin of meticulous dollhouse murder scenes, and Louise would have been enchanted by learning about it. Using stereotypically girly toys to depict gruesome deaths, and it was used to teach investigators? Louise would be all over that!

It's such a glaring missed opportunity for Louise, who had a whole episode around the importance of female heroes to young girls and society's dismissive attitude towards women's accomplishments. Captain Lee would have been a perfect second hero for Louise, and it would draw attention to a woman whose important contributions go generally unrecognized.

I also loved the end credits sequence! It had a very cool 60s mystery feel with obvious nods to stuff like Anatomy of a Murder.
