This seemingly simple but mysterious theory has attracted the attention of mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists. They found that many other networks in the world also have a very similar "six degrees of separation" structure, such as the structure of business connections in economic activities, the structure of food chains in ecosystems, and even the structure of neurons in the human brain, as well as molecular interactions within cells. Action network structure.
Regardless of how JJ continues to play LOST or the upcoming Six Degrees, it's a very real growth map for The L Word (TLW). We all say that everyone is in a network, there is a large space between us, but we are always connected, not by chance or necessity, it may just be a choice.
This map first appeared in the third episode of the first season, because I wrote in the viewing record: This lace edge map is really amazing!
Before the beginning of each episode, there is a sub-plot that is outside the main plot, but it is not a completely unrelated plot. This is the most original feature of TLW, and it is true that there is such a simple map at the beginning. Time It took a long time for the simple interweaving of lines and lines to achieve this magnificent relationship diagram of AL.
In the eighth episode of the second season, SHANE go to church and confess:
SHANE-
Father, please forgive my sin
Bless me father, for I have sinned
since my last confession to be 16 years ago
It's been 16 years since my last confession
the priest -
What are you here for tonight?
Tonight the What Brought you here Wallpaper and
SHANE-

Everyone want someting from me and
I feel I have nothing to give the

you do not see each other's face
You do not have to see the other person's face

when
they realized that
you couldn't live up to their expectations
you can't be that thing they want you to be

SHANE-
about it, I have not met had that person
Yeah I have not met anyone like that
in any case, there was nothing to know
Anyways, there's nothing to know
Therefore, from the dialogue between Shane and the priest, the intention can be summarized. When AL started to plan this map, he just used "SEX" to connect them.
In fact, this map of netting actually represents more emotional entanglements. Whether it has appeared on this map or not, take the example of the first season, such as many episodes in the fourth episode of the first season. Ji Ge, Jenny falls in love with Marina in episode 5 (and until Tim finds out about them in episode 6, and then gets married in a flash, until the surprise appearance of Marina's duke son in episode 9), everyone helps Dana try out the beautiful Chef Lara, or Tina being "chased" by the sperm donor's woman in episode 7 (to Tina's child losing signs of life in episode 10, and Bette's debate with Fea who equates art with pornography in episode 11), And the subtle connection in the twelfth episode where each person tells his first coming out story... and so on, all kinds of emotions weave this web.
This map has been growing, whether it was before or after Jenny entered this map, even Max, who should not belong to this map, and even the fake les who got together with AL can be attributed to it. But this map doesn't always grow, like Tina crying and wiping the line from herself and Bette, connecting her to another woman's name, and finally their estrangement; like Dana's long sleep, Shane leaves the upcoming wedding.
In fact, I think the newcomer Max is very pitiful. She and they are not from the same world at all. They should not have appeared on the map in the first place. The result is just like looking at the lights of the city under the mountain from the top of the mountain. It looks really beautiful. , but more shining is something called loneliness.
Tina and Bette's on-against-on-again-off-again-off-again-off-again-off-and-on-off-and-on-off-and-on-off-and-on-and-on-off-and-on" level" is basically equal to the kind of back and forth in "Tokyo Love Story", I really don't know what they are doing.
In the episode where Dana died, each time appears to represent a coordinate, which has different meanings for different people. For Dana, the passage of seconds just points in the direction of stopping, all the time Flow down until a person's life withers. When Dana died, everyone was weaving a map: sex, flirting, trysts, meals, cheating, wounds, old wounds Forget, no matter what they look like or their names... Maybe this group of people will still mention this tennis player from time to time.
In the episode at Dana's funeral, the opening sequence is quite special. There is no constant hustle and bustle, only the faint piano sound; the picture keeps flashing through Dana's past, which is a memorial of death. Ceremony of Death. In the church, everyone wears handsome black dresses or black suits. The most handsome of them is AL, "wat ru talkin' abt, dana was a gay!" It seems that homosexuality is not allowed to go to heaven, right? , AL risked not being able to let Dana ascend to heaven and would not want others to misinterpret Dana.
However, in fact, I think Dana's death, the saddest thing is not AL, not Lara (she is the most pitiful, because she was the last to know about Dana's death), but Shane. Because of Shane's family background, she was abandoned by her mother since childhood. Shane regarded every friend as her own family. When Dane died, for her, another close relative abandoned her. Because of Dana's death, Shane Depressed, as if he had withered along with him, he suddenly said to Carmen, "Would u marry me?" Most likely it was just to make up for the feeling of loss. After saying "yes" twice, the wedding was inevitably aborted.
The memories and the stories of everyone and Dana, the real Dana (the ashes), all flow away with the flow of water. Although this map is missing because of this, although it is a bit cruel to say, Dana's death saved the plot of the third season, and also deepened the objectivity of this map's reasonable existence.
In the fourth season, what kind of changes will this map have, please let us wait and see. (Written in the third season)
