Episode 1, Meet Your Future Self
Episode 2, Body Soul Swap
Episode 3, Time and Space Pause
The fourth episode, old age
Episode 5, What is Protection?
Episode 6, Parallel Universe Meets Another Self
Episode 7, Reconciling with Your Past Self
Episode 8, Time and Space Jump
Each episode is its own short story
There is an inherent coherence between episodes
The last episode echoes the first
form a complete closed loop
I like episodes 4, 6, and 8
Time and Space Pause in Episode 3
Season 3 of Westworld
The tidbits mentioned that it was a live-action performance
similar to standing still entertainer
Episode 4
Cole puts fireflies in jars
no air holes
After one night, the fireflies are dead
Grandpa took out the dead firefly
exchange for a few coins
Don't want to make Cole sad to see the dead firefly
also foretells his own death
Don't want Cole to face it all in advance
Where Grandpa takes Cole to control the town lights
tell him
Remember, you can always find light in the dark.
Drive home, garage door
grandpa crying
He knew this moment would come sooner or later
But until this moment
He's still afraid of everything he's about to lose
When he got home, he told his wife
What should I put on this closet?
Then after he died
his urn is there
Cole is back to the sphere that predicts the future
It's full of fireflies
That's light in the dark
Grandpa is gone forever
But he will exist in another form
Accompany Cole for a lifetime, as long as the memory remains
The sixth episode was quite shocking when I met another self in a parallel universe for the first time
The passage of time in the eighth episode feels a bit like the first few minutes of "Flying Home"
When old Loretta meets Cole who never grows old
I actually cried
The phrase 'Blink of an eye.'
From Grandpa, to Loretta, to Cole
passed down like ancestors
Time flies, why stop?
