Yochabel is caught between the stones/Moses Kindness

I don't know why but every time I see Joshua as a slave NOT look away from Prince Moses, but look him directly in the face, I'm reminded of a line from a chapel at Word of life high school. 6th hour Tuesday and Thursdays was chapel for 7th -12th graders. "Bravery is knowing something might hurt and doing it anyway. And Stupidity is the same. And *That's* why life is hard." 

Actually, I do know. The speaker reminded me of this scene when I first heard him. So the two are locked together in my mind. Joshua is being courageous in a way that would make some people question his grasp of the situation or his self-preservation. Which ultimately he doesn't' have any. Or at least, self preservation is not his drivign concern. Not letting what will probably happen to him very shortly -nor who he's talking to- stop him from speaking.

My second favorite movie of all time. That I watched for the first time *two days* before the shelter-in-place order from Co-vid. THAT was timing. Also an undersold moment when Caesar offers Malcolm his hand. Malcolm is almost as confused as he is touched and rightly so. You can almost see him asking himself "Where did he even learn about this?"

Using this to write my own version of the movie. Like my version of the movie Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I changed nothing as far as content but told the story though the eyes of the Lone Islander Rhince who joined them along the way. Also I slightly filled in the gaps of transitions, knitting scenes together.

Or like Heavenly Journeys. Which is the 'Lisa cut' of my favorite film of all time Kingdom of Heaven. Balian encounters his friendly enemy as soon as he enters the holy land, but this time Imad, or as he introduces himself, Nasir, offers to join him. And they 'journey' through the rest of the movie together. I'll post drafts as I write them.

So a video about whether Kirk and Spock are in love/a couple. And weirdly enough it showed me why the argument seems so tangled and goes nowhere, even sometime missing the point. They get in love confused with being together. Being a couple...gay. Kirk and Spock in the original show are very much in love with each-other. But they are not together, they are not gay. If you are arguing whether they are together, like whether they would get married if it was permissible, no they are not Gay. It's the non-physical, selfless, non-egotistical passionate and relentless kind of love that mostly because it was made before Women's lib much less LGBT discussions, there was never anything phsydcial. But each of them was the single most important person in the world to the other, above themselves. Love is not an emotion, love is a promise. And it's a promise these to hold __ and keep for each-other for half a century of Starfleet time.
Okay it might help if I actually post the video. And yes the video does get ridiculous later on, turning the greatest Friendship sort of companionships of Star Trek into something more. But for the first couple, they have a point.

1. Bizzaro's death. 2.Anderson waking up in wonderland when he didn't know the multiverse existed. 3. The crushing moment when he realized Bizzaro was a person and Superman has a family. People who say Anderson deserves this crushing moment because he killed Bizzaro are drunk. He and Bizzaro were trying to kill each other. They were both being soldiers. He's crying because he's realizing they both had a family and that General Lane was part of Superman's family.

I’m not saying Anderson was right for killing bizarro and his behavior, but Bizzaro killed two kids. Yes, Anderson was an absolute pain in the ass throughout this season but people saying that he deserves what he got and excusing Bizarro's behavior, need to remove their blinders. -- or at least realize what actually drove Anderson in the first place: Bizzaro killed Team. He flat out said it. Whatever truth Superman or we as the audience learned about Bizzaro, Anderson never knew that. Until tumbling down the rabbit hole and seeing this Superman's life. Also he didn't know about the multiverse, taking dopplegangers out of the equation, what could Bizzaro even have been?

"Superman is unrelatable" Batman thought so too until he said 'Martha' and now Anderson realized it too when he heard the word 'dad'.

– I cannot like this comment enough. This is exactly what Batman vs. Superman's Bruce Wayne realized. (And John Henry Irons in season one of this show.) Anderson had become convinced Superman, especially the monster version of Superman who killed his team were the bad guys. And he realized Superman's humanity in a banger scene when he realized that this twisted version of Superman -- and by inference his own Superman--  has a family

Yeah Anderson screwed up royally. But I think one of the reasons this scene even happens is that Superman realizes he made the same mistake most of the audience are making: unfairly expecting Anderson who only knew him as Superman to be like the man's predecessor and his father-in-law General Lane. It's a glorious moment of "We should have been allies, what was stopping us?" You can almost feel Superman from season 2 of Supergirl and J'onn Jo'nzz talking at the fortress.
