INDEXING: REFLECTIONS, episode #10: "Untold Truths."

The tenth episode of Indexing: Reflections is available today! This is your talkpost and discussion zone. There will be spoilers in the comments here. As always on talkposts, I have partial comment amnesty, and will not be responding to everything.

"Untold Truths" is hard to talk about in an unspoilery way, but wow, is it bringing us closer to the end. Only two episodes remain in this season. Shit's about to get vicious.

Once upon a time...

Did you also email me this? I feel like you also emailed me this. (Someone emailed me this.)

I have read The Shining more than a dozen times. Sloane has not. Sloane, who was narrating in the first person, and is thus "the storyteller" for purposes of that installment, does not read books. She does see movies.

I am not my characters. My characters are not me. Before you assume that I got something wrong, you have to consider the character who's "speaking," and whether, for them, that is an inaccuracy. As far as Sloane is concerned, there's a hedge maze in The Shining, and why would there be any difference between the movies and the books?

No, I didn't email you this. That's just a weird coincidence.

Also, when I said "you haven't read The Shining," I'm referring to the characters, not you, the author. Sorry for the confusion. (I also think Henry said the same thing, which is why it stuck out to me)

I'm actually kind of hoping someone (read: Jeff) points this out at some point. He strikes me as the kind of guy who'd do that.

Woooooooooooooooow.

See, I'm a little touchy on this one, because King is absolutely my favorite author of all time, which means any errors (that aren't about Faithful, the only book of his I haven't read) are intentional. So I huff.

But yeah, the "you" read as directed to me, hence my bemusement. Henry, also not a reader; ironically, for all that she hates Disney, she assumes that all other movies-of-books are accurate. Jeff would totally point that out, if he ever heard about it. And if he lives.

You see Cassandra's reaction at ~2:00? That's me right now.
