Vikings 2.7: Volatile Mix

A rather grim Vikings 2.7 last night, featuring the slow death Ragnar metes out to Jarl Borg at the end. Not only do I think Ragnar might have been wise to include Jarl Borg on his next trip to England, but I found the death scene, well, off-putting.   For all I know, this is indeed the way the Norsmen put certain kinds of enemies to death, but I would been fine not to see this in such stomach-turning detail.

Also unfortunate is the souring of Ragnar's relationship with Floki.  Yeah, I know the master shipbuilder is somewhat out of his mind, but his distrust of Ragnar seems unmotivated.   King Horik's view that Floki loves Ragnar seems much closer to the truth than the simmering and now increasing antagonism we saw from Floki towards Ragnar in 2.7.

The best action, as I've been saying for a while this season, was back in England.  The uneasy alliance between the Kings of Northumbria and Wessex is a good move for a variety of reasons.   Despite his prowess, Ecbert's eventually victory over Ragnar cannot be assured.  Ecbert can thus use all the help he can get, and the fact that he knows this shows again what a formidable enemy he will be for Ragnar.

So, as Ecbert strengthens his position, Ragnar's is weakening in two ways.  The first is Ragnar's own doing - his killing of Jarl Borg - and the second is the inexplicable resentment that Floki is now harboring for Ragnar.   When you add into the volatile mix the likelihood that Horik cannot really be trusted as an ally - he sees himself as someone above Ragnar (which Ragnar admits to, politically), and gives the impression that he could turn against Ragnar on a moment's notice if he thought it would be of some benefit - we have some tough times ahead for our hero.

The good news is that these tough times should make for some excellent television.

The Americans 2.7: Embryonic Internet and Lie Detection

The Americans 2.7 tonight was better than usual - which is to say, very good indeed - with an episode that had our Soviet anti-heroes putting a "rat"-sized bug into the ARPANET,  and the best we've seen so far about Nina caught between Oleg and Stan.

Who knows if the Soviets really tried to hack the precursor of the Internet in the early 1980s, but it's a certainly plausible and makes a good story.  The Americans handled this all with its customary aplomb, including Phil not really getting the virtual highway jargon, though he's able to speak it.  What is undisputed in our real history is that our government abandoned the ARPANET for military uses, and, for all we know, maybe part or more of the reason was that the real equivalents of Phil were able to compromise the ARPANET via a suitcase-sized bug.

Meanwhile, the story of Nina is becoming Greek tragic and Shakespearean in the deep conflicts of loyalty and love she's experiencing.  Up until tonight, it definitely looked as if she had some feeling for Stan, but was spying on him for the Soviets to save her life.  For Oleg, she apparently felt a mixture of annoyance and fear about what he might and could do to upset her status quo.

But Oleg moved into a very different position in Nina's life tonight.   His coaching and training her to beat the galvanic response lie-detector saved her life point-blank.  When she sleeps with him at the end, it's certainly out of gratitude, but with Nina you never know if there's something more - if she really feels something for him, which is exactly the perilous situation she appears to be in with Stan.

So in Nina, we have a perfect tragic relationship consisting of two relationships with two men, which mirror each other in the proportions of lying and affection they contain.   And, just to turn up the heat even more, Stan and Oleg, as we know, are also in touch with one another, about the very subject of Nina.

"What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive," as Walter Scott - not Shakespeare -noted back in 1808.  But the line certainly feels Shakespearean, and its describes exquisitely the situation in which Nina now finds herself, making her, at least as of this episode, probably the most compelling character on this powerful series.

Turn Premiere: Good Historical Drama in Revolutionary New York

Hey, the first episode of Turn on Sunday night on AMC was quite good.   Here's what I most liked about it -

It's fun and interesting to see a series set in our Revolutionary War era.  You don't often see a drama series in this time period - in fact, I can't really think of any (I don't think of Sleepy Hollow historical drama) - and even movies set in this era are few and far between.   But it's certainly a crucially important era in American, British, and for that matter world history.   
There have been superb docu-dramas set in the Revolutionary War and a little beyond - like the John Adams series, and the Adams Chronicles before it - but docu-dramas are something very different from historical dramas, like Rome, Vikings, The Tudors, and Black Sails.   Turn, based on its debut episode, looks like it has good chance to join those winning shows.
There's excellent character development in Turn, even at this early point in the narrative.  Abe Woodhull is a suitably conflicted, messily recruited spy.  And his personal life is no less complex - he's married and a father, but also loves another woman.  Anna at very least is Abe's first love, but she may well be his true love.  Abe also has problems with his father, who is his champion but in some ways his worst enemy, being thoroughly loyal to the British in all matters other than his son, at least as far as we can tell (I say this because of the great twist in Zorro in which the father joins the son in opposing the military.) And Abe's friends are an appealing combination of people who in their own ways offer a variety of opposition to the British.  This includes Anna, who married Abe's best or least very good friend.  We'll likely soon meet some friends, though - or at least one - who are not only British sympathizers but the British spy.
The British are mostly villains, though there may be lurking in their leadership someone with a little more understanding of the way history is beginning to turn.  Captain Simcoe epitomizes the attitude of even some of the British officers, restrained by the thinest veneer of gentlemanly conduct from rape, and not all from savagely beating a colonist who crosses them in any way.  It's especially shocking and instructive to see the Brits treating American colonists the way we later treated conquered people like Native Americans.
And a particular plus for me is the location of the show - New York City and its environs, especially Long Island, with sojourns to New Jersey and Connecticut.   I'm looking forward to more.

Bones 9.20: Above the Law

A philosophically profound Bones 9.20 tonight, which tackles the issue of whether there's a more ethical course of action possible than just following the law.  The occasion is Wendell's use of marijuana as part of his cancer treatment, and the reaction of our major characters is instructive.

First, to give some  historical context, Socrates famously drank the hemlock and died, accepting the death sentence of the Athenian court, when given a chance to escape by his old friend Crito. According to Plato's account, Socrates said that although he may relentlessly criticize the state, he would never put himself above it, which is what evading its death sentence would do.

Now, as much as I admire Socrates, I always disagreed with him on this.  An unjust decision should not be followed, even if lawful.   There was once a law in the United States, for example, which said racial discrimination was permissible.  States made laws which enforced segregation.   Eventually, that law was overturned.  But was it moral to follow the state laws before the Supreme Court finally got around in 1954 to ruling segregation in education was unconstitutional?  I don't think so.  The better course of action was for people to violate the immoral state laws and defy segregation.

On Bones tonight, Bones, Hodgins, and Angela - that is, the smartest people on the show - both support Wendell's decision to use marijuana, and continue on the Federal job at the Jeffersonian as an intern, even though marijuana is still illegal by Federal law.  In other words, they think there is higher calling and code of conduct than just following the law.   Booth and Cam think otherwise.

To Booth's credit, he eventually comes around, because he has a depth of character and Bones is a good influence.  Cam, unsurprisingly, does not - she fires Wendell, and only lets him come back to work when Caroline figures out a way that he can be hired as an independent contractor rather than an employee of the Jeffersonian.

Cam, in other words and I'm sorry to say, represents the worst kind of shallow bureaucrat in our society: the person who follows the law, blindly, and in the face of a clear ethical imperative to the contrary.   She's done this before, and the way her character has been behaving this season makes me wish Dr. Goodman from the first was brought back to head this wing of the Jeffersonian.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Premiere: Salient Points

Here are some of the salient points of the Season 4 premiere of Game of Thrones on HBO last night -
Daenerys does not have complete control over her dragons, which have gotten older, and are now presumably in the rebellious teenage phase.  Should make for some unforeseen developments when they go into battle.Tyrion continues as the most decent human being in the Lannisters, and indeed in the entire series.   Only John Snow has anything approaching Tyrion's morality, which is significant, insofar as both are outsiders in their own families.Jamie continues getting, I don't know, less despicable.  He's certainly come a long way since he threw Bran out of the window.  Would he do that again in similar circumstances?  Probably, though I have the sense that he'd be more agonized about it, or at very least might think a little longer about it.  The evolution of Jamie's character is thus one of the most compelling in the series - and probably continues to make Jamie a target for extinction.Among the points we didn't see addressed in  Game of Thrones 4.1 -
What's going on way up North, on the wrong side of the Wall?   The northerly people and exotic beings are one of the best parts of the story, and the only match in their own way for the dragons.Speaking of dragons, Daenerys continues to make slow progress towards her dream of re-establishing her kingdom.   The human beings south of the Wall will be no contest for her, especially when her dragons reach full maturity, and assuming they can be controlled to some extent.  The ultimate battle between the ghosts and the dragons should someday be a sight to see.Good to see Game of Thrones back on the screen.   The intro sequence is the best yet, and the special effects are outstanding.

Tetrad on the Selfie

I just had an exchange with Ian Bogost over on Twitter, after I posted the above photograph of me, Marshall McLuhan, and Eric McLuhan, taken at the "Tetrad Conference" I organized at Fairleigh Dickinson University in March 1978.

Ian aptly said that I needed a "4th" (the "tetrad" has four components).

I replied that the 4th person pertaining to the photograph was the photographer*, which has flipped into the selfie.

Here, then, is a full tetrad on the photograph, and it's flipping into the selfie:

The photograph enhances capture of literal images.

The photograph obsolesces portrait painting.

The photograph retrieves memory, looking at images in pools of water, etc.

And the photograph flips into the selfie.

And it's a physical flip of the camera in the phone, as well as a philosophic flip.

*photographer was my student, Mary Lou Bale

Da Vinci's Demons 2.3: Submarine

The scientific wonder in Da Vinci's Demons 2.3 is a submarine, based, as were many of the real Da Vinci's sketched inventions, on his anecdotal study of the natural world, in this case, fish and other creatures of the sea.   Nature is indeed a wonderful and wondrous template for our technological endeavors, a theme which I explore in my doctoral dissertation "Human Replay: A Theory of the Evolution of Media" and many of my books, including The Soft Edge: A Natural History and Future of the Information Revolution.

In Da Vinci's Demons 2.3, Leo uses the submarine to commandeer a sailing vessel suitable for his forthcoming voyage to the New World, where much of the action will presumably shift.  But there were some exciting developments back in Italy, most especially the revelation that the seductive spy Lucrezia is actually a Pope's daughter.

Indeed, her father has been locked in the catacombs of the Vatican by the current Pope, one of the arch bad guys in this story.  I was happy to see this revelation, because it puts Lucrezia's treachery in a much better light.  Yes, she betrayed Lorenzo, and in doing that betrayed Leonardo, but she did that on behalf not of the current evil Pope but her imprisoned father.   This shows that Leonardo's love of her was not thoroughly misplaced.

But what will happen to that and all else brewing in the Italian city states when Da Vinci makes the voyage to the New World?  Since, in our real history, Leonardo never sailed to the New World (as far as we know), the narrative of this series has a wide open canvas in the New World.

So far this season, David Goyer has been doing a great job of setting this work of art in motion.

Something to Take on the Trip

Hey, I just wanted to let you know my story, "And the Chimps Shall Lead," is available in the brand new anthology, Something to Take on the Trip, for which all sales proceeds go to a children's charity. You'll find details about the anthology and the charity over here.

In addition to my story, you'll find short works by Kevin J. Anderson, David Gerrold, and lots of other authors in this book.   Each story is around 1,000 words, and can be read on a short trip - hence the title.  Here's a list of all the authors in this antho:

Kevin J. Anderson, Aditi Bathia, Graham Brand, Donald R. Broyles, Cora Buhlert, Neil Bursnoll, Jamie Campbell, Michael Carmella, T.L. Champion, Helen Cho, Samuel Clements, J. David Core, Cate Dean, Stephen Drivick, Dan Fiorella, Erin Garlock, David Gerrold, Edward M. Grant, Sheila Guthrie, Jamie Horyski, Mary Kincaid, Paul B. Kohler, Paul Levinson, Kevin A. Lyons, Kelly Lytle, Ron McLarty, John L. Monk, Lindy Moone, E. Percy Muove, Debadatta Pati, Dario Solera, H.S. Stone, Joe Tannian, Vincent Trigili, Karen Tucker, Rich Walls, Stella Wilkinson, Richard Wolanski and Frank Zubek.

What's my story about?  Well, let's just say that I've always thought the natural world all around us can provide solutions to our most vexing problems, especially illnesses.

This is the second time in the past few months I've contributed a science fiction story to a charity antho - what's going on with me? :)   The first was in December, when my short story "Transfer of Power" was published in Something for the Journey.

Hey, even if you're not going on a trip, there's some very good reading in these anthos, and your money goes to a worthy cause, Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, a charity to benefit a children’s hospital in Bristol.

Vikings 2.6: The Guardians

The best scene in Vikings 2.6 for me  - the one which had the greatest historical resonance - was Ecbert and Athelstan looking at and discussing the ancient Roman art work and scrolls, an apex of human accomplishment at the time, that the Romans left behind in Britain.  In a world before printing, the handwritten manuscript was the tenuous ambassador from the past, easily lost if not deliberately destroyed.  This is what made that scene so significant, and what motivated me to write Unburning Alexandria.   Rooms such as the one that contained  Ecbert and Athelstan and the Roman works saved enough of our earlier civilizations that we can know them today. The Vikings, as Athelstan explains, did not have such written ambassadors.  Their greatest exploits were consigned to oral sagas, which is why all we have of them now are wispy legends.   This is why Columbus's voyage across the Atlantic, memorialized in one of the first products of the printing press, had so much more impact on our world than the earlier Viking voyages to America,  spoken word of which was diffused in the Norse winds.  (See The Soft Edge: A Natural History and Future of the Information Revolution for more about this.)

But over in Scandinavia, events were not so lofty or the stuff of legend is this episode.   Although there has been little to like about King Horik, he was completely right about the necessity and value of Jarl Borg joining the raid and eventual settlement plans in England.  And I thought Rollo made good and profound sense when he told Borg that, although he and Borg and most other men might be most motivated by revenge, Ragnar operated on a highly level - responding to what we might say today are cosmic callings.   So, when Ragnar surprises us at the end by attacking Borg, after Borg has pledged his loyalty, it is a good twist in the story but a bad move as far as the ultimate success of the Vikings in the West.   I admire Ragnar's putting his family first, but regret that he may have done at this at the expense of his destiny.

Meanwhile, there is nothing ambiguous about what Lagertha did to her husband, one of the most despicable characters in the series.   It will be interesting to see what happens with her now.  Will she take this as a sign that she belongs with Ragnar, as awkward as that might be?   One thing is clear: Ragnar, now more than ever before, will need all the help  he can get if and when he returns to England.

The Following 2.11: Lily not Joe

A strong episode 2.11 for The Following last night, with Lily Gray and Joe Carroll both in action.  And of the two psycho families, I have to say that I like Lily's better, in every way.

Indeed, in many ways, Lily is the more logical successor to the Joe of Season 1 than is the Joe of Season 2.  The Season 1 Joe was secular, and went for Edgar Allan Poe when he needed a little mysticism.   The Joe of Season 2 has taken over an annoying cult, has wrapped himself in its nonsense, and is even attracting the ire of another, non-murderous cult leader. I  of course get why Joe thinks he has to do this, but I'm with Emma in wondering about its ultimate value.

In contrast, Lily just goes about her murderous business, with no religious overlay.   Further, she has an abiding loyalty to her family, which Joe never quite had.   Most important, Lily murders for logical reasons - sick, but logical.  She did it first to re-establish Joe's cult and meet Ryan, and now she's doing it to save one of her deranged twin sons.

If Joe dies - really dies - at the end of this season, Lily would be a good person to take the story forward.   But it's hard to say what will happen in terms of who will survive this season.

Mike, Max, Carrie, and the newly revived Claire are all likely candidates, among the good guys.  At this point, the only one of those I wouldn't mind departing would be Claire, although I'd hate to see Ryan going through her death a second time.   As for the bad guys, it's pretty clear that either Emma or Mandy won't survive, but it's tough to call which one.

Just two more roller coaster episodes left this season - I'm looking forward.
