Every time Kyle sits in his bathtub, it's when the Kyle XY plot reaches a certain turning point: or Something happened to the mysterious organization that made Kyle, or something went wrong at Trager's house, or Kyle himself suffered a setback in his relationship with Amanda. But every time Kyle stays in the bathtub obediently, I believe that the hearts of all the audience will be quiet involuntarily - the bathtub is a symbol of the womb, and for Kyle, the bathtub at Traeg's house gives him the same feeling. The incubator that has placed his body for sixteen years is exactly the same. From a subconscious level, the bathtub can give Kyle the greatest sense of security. Even, the bathtub takes care of him like Kyle's mother, giving him warmth and warmth. Strength - I'm not saying that Nicole didn't take care of Kyle enough and affectionately enough, but Kyle was a very special person, with his superhuman intelligence and Batman-like physique that would make any ordinary It is difficult for American housewives to take full responsibility for Kyle's mother. In fact, Kyle sees Adam Baylin, the chief scientist who led the Zzyzx project that made him, as a spiritual and blood father, especially When Kyle carefully read the research notes and diary materials left by Byron, it was like a unique communication between father and son. Perhaps only at this time, Kyle could feel a touch of warmth as a son.
Therefore, whenever he sits in the bathtub, Kyle can relax his body and mind to the maximum extent and concentrate on solving the puzzles in front of him-of course, in terms of Kyle's IQ exceeding Einstein's N times, as long as he is willing, ordinary Humans cannot create problems that he cannot solve. But the puzzles always come one after another. After one is solved, there is always another. It is no wonder that when Kyle came to this world, he came with the puzzles, for others, and for Kyle himself, but also It is precisely because there are so many unsolved mysteries shrouded in Kyle that Kyle's growth is integrated with the process of pursuing the truth, which makes it easy to add a suspenseful clue to this youth life ethics drama. Firmly fixed the viewer's eye on ABC Family.
People say the truth is often cruel, and that's especially true for Kyle. Each episode of "Godsend" will be accompanied by a voiceover of Kyle's words, in which Kyle expresses his insight into human life in his own way. Whether it's laughter or sadness, sincerity or hypocrisy, love or resentment, all the bits and pieces in life are woven together by Kyle, and then interpret to us in his own way. Whenever this time, it is also in this episode. When the subject is broken. When Kyle came to Treg's house, although he had the handsome appearance of an adolescent boy and a genius mind, he was a blank slate in terms of his life history and emotional experience, so Kyle was growing up hard and vigorously. . From his birth, Kyle is a man-made "monster". He is exactly the same as human beings in some aspects, but completely different in other places. Kyle tries hard to integrate into human life, but he always bumps into human beings inadvertently. In fact, in essence, Kyle is incompatible with ordinary humans. Zeng Zi said, "I examine my body three times a day", but unfortunately very few people can do this, but Kyle's separation from human society has given him a certain independent attitude of inspection, and he is accustomed to those falsehoods that we are accustomed to. , Ugly, Evil, in one sentence. However, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", in the web of human society, there is no room for an angel-like pure and powerful individual like Kyle. The shackles are also uninvited. There is always an evil force in the dark who wants to control Kyle and lock Kyle in a pre-set trap. When self-consciousness is awakened, the lonely Kyle can only be alone. People stumbled to break free of them, alone in the darkness to find the truth about themselves hidden in danger.
The biggest truth revealed in the entire first season of "Godsend" is Kyle's life experience. Although there have been hints in previous plots, this big rock is not the final word until Adam Byron stands in front of Kyle alive. fell to the ground. However, Byron's death soon brought Kyle back to the lonely situation with no help. Anyone familiar with American TV routines can probably guess this plot, because Byron's appearance is like a narratology. It is an omniscient and almighty God who knows all the secrets about Kyle. If he is alive, the whole world will be clear and transparent in front of Kyle. Kyle does not need to search for anything. The dramatic conflict collapsed in an instant, so the screenwriters of "Godsend" will definitely keep Byron away from the screen at the first time, and only let him guide Kyle through riddle-like clues, thus putting Kyle back in the first place In the lonely, panicky state of the season - and only in this way, the Traeger family and Amanda, Declan, the social circles that have reunited with Kyle, can play a role. Marx once said, "The essence of man is the sum of social relations in terms of its reality." If Kyle wants to be a person, he cannot do without these social relations that he finally established in the first season. But the truth is: in terms of the purpose of birth, Kyle has no sociality at all, that is to say, Kyle came to this world completely driven by the interests of some people - commercial, scientific , or just to satisfy curiosity. But fortunately, when this cruel truth was revealed, Kyle had already found his place at Traeger's house, and he also had his place at Beachwood High School, so Kyle at the end of the first season was no longer the one The cold number (781227), although Byron arranged for him a pair of parents to pick him up, the pair of impostors soon disappeared. Although it is a bit unreasonable in the plot, people are still used to calling him "" Kyle", whenever this name appears, everyone's subconscious actually adds a surname to Kyle-Treg, but it's just not stated.
This truth was thrown into the distant stream along with Byron's ashes. With family and friends, and a young love that had just begun, Kyle has actually successfully integrated into the suburb of Seattle, Washington, USA. in that middle-class neighborhood. Kyle is no longer afraid of his origin, but the new puzzle makes Kyle frown again - by studying the complex code left by Byron, he finds that Byron reminded himself not to trust Foss before his death . Foss is a man of unknown background, and it is only by accident that his fate is closely linked to Byron and Kyle. If Byron gave Kyle the driving force behind his life, it was actually Foss who added the value of humanity to Kyle's life-it was Foss who risked his life to save Kyle and then threw Kyle In the human community, if it wasn't for this act of righteousness by Foss, I am afraid that Kyle's life is destined to be only an experiment in an incubator. In this sense, Foss is like Kyle's biological parents. And only Foss knows all the secrets of his life by Kyle's side. In order to allow Kyle to live a healthy life and to allow Kyle to defeat the evil forces hidden in the darkness, Foss leads Kyle to work tirelessly. The devil's special training has been launched. If Foss is really unbelievable, it is really equivalent to taking a pillar out of Kyle's life. However, there are always twists and turns in the plot. Due to the ability of thinking to travel through time and space suddenly mastered, Kyle saw the despicable behavior of another colleague of Byron, Tylor. From this, Kyle also deduced that the traitor was actually Tylor. instead of Fox. But what is the truth? Except for the screenwriter, only God knows - I just hope I can give Kyle a good account, lest the trust he has built up in others always crumble mercilessly.
Kyle's puzzles also put Treg's family in trouble. When his father, Stephen, impatiently entered the company called Maida, a carefully crafted net was quietly beside him. It unfolded, of course, all of this was not directed at Stephen, but judging from the father-son relationship between Stephen and Kyle, if he learned the truth, he would definitely try his best to protect Kyle's safety-even at the cost of his life don't care either. And the mother Nicole's situation may be more dangerous. From the time the girl named Jessi was admitted, the conspiracy organization in the guise of the Meta Company has quietly stretched out its clutches. Of course, the audience is already aware of these truths, but Nicole, whose mother's love is boundless, is still kept in the dark. But compared to them, the truth that Jessie doesn't know may be more cruel. Although she is from the same background as Kyle, Kyle was at least rescued from the cave by Foss, and then through the life structure of the Treg family. Create a complete picture of your own life. And poor Jessie, her mind was forcibly filled with so many memories that did not belong to her. These memories were like a time bomb buried in Jessie's mind, and she was suffering from these memories all the time. And every time he gets close to Kyle, Jessie mistakenly thinks that she has some special feelings for this boy, which further deepens Jessie's predicament. Sometimes I think about it, Jessie is the poorest person in "Godsend", maybe she will never know the truth about these truths.
But even hidden from ordinary people, some truths are no less cruel than the two cyborgs Kyle and Jessie - when Andy tells Josh that he has cancer, In Josh's young head, could he possibly bear this cruel truth?
I firmly believe that there will be a third season of "Godsend", and at that time, more truths will be revealed to us.
