And who could even imagine that you could beat it, eh!?
No... It's not... Taste is one thing quality is another... But because of those who don't know the latter and think Shakespeare is the same thing as "50 Shades of Grey" -- because it's all "taste" -- we're in the cultural state we're in...
What proves my point is you can't give any grounds and reasons to demonstrate the
Interlude is good bar "it's my taste and tastes are like assholes! Everyone has one!"
I say the
Interlude is bad because it's meaningless, it's not information necessary to the main plot, it changes the POV in the middle of things without no excuse except "it's my vision!" (ok,
visionary...); for one to believe Zoey still liked the MC's and
at the same time decided to move to SF because she was sad
and saw an add on the Internet,
one needs a crane for the suspension of belief. Thus the plot has no coherence, fails to grab the attention of everyone who's not interested in those
slice-of-life craps. And more... Even if the
Interlude's plot were any good
per se, it would be bad because of it's totally meaningless to the main plot -- and proves this is the fact you can
skip it in almost in its entirety, jumping directly to the part when you (i.e., Zoey) flushes her former friends phone; and you do this to set the only three variables that matter in the
Interlude:
Code:
menu:
"Do you want to play the Interlude?"
"Play the Interlude" if True:
jump startInterlude
"Skip to episode 9" if True:
scene epi_ems44 with dissolve
menu:
"Did Zoey calm Emma down or take her phone?"
"Calmed her down" if True:
$ emma_calm = True
$ emma_cluck = False
$ zoey_dik = False
"Took her phone" if True:
$ emma_calm = False
$ emma_cluck = True
$ zoey_dik = True
Translating:
- If Zoey's DIK or Chick
- If she calmed Emma or not
- If she posted her nude cluck
That's it... All that matters... You don't even need to watch it... Not necessary to the main plot... Q.E.D.
