Dexter: Resurrection S1 E10

Spoilers

“And Justice for All”

The first season of Dexter: Resurrection came to a close on Amazon Prime with an exceptional finale that was filled with tension and anxiousness and finished in an extremely satisfying way.

Dexter was trapped inside the serial killer vault at Prater’s home with the dead body of Batista on the floor. Prater trapped him inside and was going to leave him to die from lack of water. Dexter finds Batista’s phone in one of the episode’s contrivances. There were a few.

One that the episode kind of wrapped up was this. Dexter had seen the gun on the floor that Prater had used to kill Batista and he thought to himself that he must not get his fingerprints on the gun. However, it did not seem as if Dexter minded getting his fingerprints everywhere else in the room as he touched…. everything. At the end, it did show Dexter cleaning up after himself, but to think that he could get rid of every print is stretching it a bit. Still, at least he made the effort.

I like the fact that Charlie gets to leave with her ailing mother after basically making a deal with Dexter and Harrison (sort of).

Peter Dinklage is a superior actor and his performance as Leon Prater was top notch. He probably was the second best villain in Dexter history behind John Lithgow’s Trinity Killer. You could feel the desperation from Prater as he was wrapped up on Dexter’s table.

I think that we have finally put to bed the possibility that Blessing is the New York Ripper. That made me extra pleased. In fact, Dexter implied that Blessing is someone whom Dexter himself needs. Dexter took a turn to be more inclusive and less isolated. It sounded as if this was a new arc for everyone’s favorite serial killer.

I enjoyed every episode of the Dexter: Resurrection season and I hope that there will be another season down the road. I liked the tone and the intensity of the show and the budding relationship with Dexter and Harrison worked well.

Crime/Heist

My creative writing class had to do a 300 word short story in the genre of crime/heist. Here is my story.

What am I doing?

The day was a blur.  How did Reggie talk me into this? I constantly let him talk me into things that I know are stupid ideas?  There was that time we jumped off the cliff together.  We snitched his father’s car and went for a midnight joy ride.  Oh, and that day we messed with that rattlesnake. However, none of those days compared to this.

“Shut up! Do what I say!  Gimme the money!

All Reggie asked me to do was keep watch.  I didn’t know what he meant, but he’s my best friend, and I always do what he asks.  Fool.  I had no idea he intended to rob Friedrickson’s Deli in the middle of the lunch rush.

Worse yet, Reggie was waving around a handgun.  

I should’ve seen this coming.  Reggie has been more defiant since his father ran off.  I knew it was just a matter of time before he exploded.

WHAM

The resounding pistol-whip blow to the head of Friedrickson sent him spiraling toward the ground.  Reggie stood above him displaying a testosterone-fueled rage I have never seen.  I was never more scared of Reggie.

Distantly, the sound of sirens could be heard; the flash of the red and blue filled my eyes.  Reggie knew the situation before I could even get the words out of my mouth.

“The cops!” he shouted, kicking Friedrickson’s ribs.  “What did you do?’

His tone smacked of a strange blend of desperation and acceptance.  

“They’re not taking us alive!”

 Us? Reggie screamed with a sense of unity that I didn’t share.  Reggie shoved me toward the door, brandishing his handgun like a wildman.  Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion; the explosion of Reggie’s bullets rang through the sky.  Oh….no…the police.

BANG BANG BANG!

“The Kill Room Where it Happens”

Dexter is struggling with all of the outside forces coming into him.

  • Angel Batista’s obsession is making things difficult. Batista nearly caught Dexter in a kill room. Dexter found the ear pods Batista left behind in his car though.
  • Dexter failed to grab “Rapunzel” who did not like Hamilton. “Did you know they all rapped?” LOL.
  • Harrison asking for help with Elsa’s landlord.
  • Prater showed up at the site where Dexter was having dinner with Harrison. No good will come of that.
  • Blessing getting mad at Dexter when Dexter let it slip to Blessing’s daughter about her father’s past. Perhaps the rumors of Blessing being the New York Ripper, a twist that I would not be a fan of. However, his reaction to Dexter’s mistake made me think that there is more to Blessing than we thought.

However, it seemed as if Detective Wallace is filled with doubt about Batista and what he is doing. She did not respond to the story of the kill room very well, and she called down to Miami to ask about the Bay Harbor Butcher case only to find out that Batista was no longer an active police captain. Batista surely is looking shaky as his obsession with Dexter might be bringing him down.

Harrison had a night of sex with Gigi. I don’t know why but I just do not trust Gigi at this point. Maybe that is just the type of show Dexter is that I question anyone new, but I am just unsure about her at this point. I do hope she is not going to betray Harrison because I like seeing him happy for once.

I know now that there are two more episodes of Dexter: Resurrection remaining. Surely, there will be a confrontation between Dexter and Batista among those and I get a feeling that Blessing may have something in his past that we still need to face. I do hope that neither Batista or Angel wind up on Dexter’s table. Prater, however, I feel is destined for that table.

Stick S1 E3, E4

Spoilers

“Daddy Issues”

“Zero Sum Game”

Episodes three and four of Apple TV’s new series, Stick, starring Owen Wilson were really great. I have to say though I am a little disappointed with Pryce and his weaknesses that are coming through. He does feel manipulative in his involvement with Santi and he is clearly also a problem with betting. These will both come back to haunt him later in the season, I am sure.

I do like the first few steps between Mitts and Elena. The whole “Mitts is trapped beneath the bed” part of episode three was fun and was a good way to learn about who these characters are.

We learned specifically what happened to Pryce’s son as Mitts told Elena about it after she had made an off-hand comment about Pryce not knowing about kids because he doesn’t have any. The little boy died at 4 from cancer, which is way too horrible to even think about. Elena immediately made the connection between the loss of his son and the meltdown Pryce had on the golf course that ruined his career. I had inferred this as well, but knowing the details make it even more painful and allow us to understand where Pryce is coming from.

We are introduced to Zero, played by Lilli Kay. I had seen her on the IMDB page and I did not know who she was, but she has been added as a “love interest” for Santi. Not sure I loved this character at this point, as she was portrayed as a far left idealist with big words for the society around them.

I did not think that the deal made by Zero and Pryce was a good idea. It will absolutely explode on them later in the season. Why they don’t just stick to the truth? It is such a better choice.

Stick has been solid so far and I am looking forward to see these seeds that the show is planting grow as the season progresses.

The X-Files S11 E10

Spoilers

“My Struggle IV”

Today marks the end of a journey that I started here at EYG in September 2023. I had just finished watching the five seasons of Twilight Zone and I needed something new to do as a rewatch. Despite being a little intimidated by eleven seasons of episodes, I decided to watch The X-Files, which was one of my favorite shows when it was on TV. Now with just about two months away from two years since starting, I watched the final episode of the series.

The finale was the fourth piece of an over-arching storyline about the Cigarette Smoking Man trying to release an alien virus and cause a planet-wide pandemic. It was a pandemic that we all lived through in the finale of season 10. We started season 11 with taking the results of that episode and having it be a vision Scully saw of the future and part of the idea was this was a chance to stop it. In order to stop it, they needed to find William.

We met William earlier in the season, setting up his powers. We also learn that William is not Mulder’s son, but was created by CSM in a lab. This was a horrible truth that everyone hated.

We are back to trying to find William in the finale and I wonder why Mulder and Scully spent this whole season ignoring this arc and doing all those individual episodes instead.

This episode was basically Mulder chasing after William, trying to catch up with him. There was a lot of running, some driving and so on. Then, Mulder and Scully was too far apart for most of the movie. I liked this much more when they got back together at the end.

Mulder FINALLY shot the CSM. He did not shoot him in the head though. How much of the pain would have been prevented had Mulder just shot him in the head when he first had a chance? CSM was shot in this manner to allow him to pull another “I’m not dead” moment had the show returned. It was finally CSM’s shooting of William (in the head, btw) that pushed Mulder past the point.

Oh, and… did Skinner die? He got run over by CSM? What a bitch way to go out for one of our longest running characters. Jump up on that hood of the other car, Skinner. Skinner did shoot Monica in the head, which I truly appreciated. I never liked that character.

I did enjoy the final scene with Mulder and Scully where she told him that she was pregnant. However, Scully did not seem to react to William’s death in the way that she would have. I know she learned about William’s origin but would that have affected the way she perceived this boy for all of these years? It is nice to have Mulder and Scully together with a possible happy ending.

William returning to life out of the water was a tag that felt like they wanted to continue, but the series needed to be done.

I feel like this is an accomplishment finishing the series after such a long time. I do love David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson because of these characters and this show.

I want to believe.

Poker Face S2 E12

Spoilers

“The End of the Road”

Last week, after watching Poker Face S2 E11, things just did not make sense. The whole storyline with the Iguana setting up Charlie to lead him to Beatrix Hasp in witness protection seemed so full of coincidences and impossibilities that it was tarring what I had been enjoying. I had hoped, I even think I wrote it in the post, that the writers would have something in the finale to make it all work.

Boy howdy, did they.

They then tossed in the twist of all twists for this show. A twist that they had been setting up for several episodes now. See, last episode when we saw the Iguana killing that guy to go to the wedding and making his prosthetics, it wasn’t the Iguana. This was another hitman….

The Iguana was Charlie’s friend, Alex.

Patti Harrison played Alex, and we thought she had been set up by the real Iguana as a patsy in the murder of Beatrix Hasp’s adopted son in episode 11, but, in truth, this was the Iguana. The Iguana had grown tired of the assassin game, because it lacked any sort of challenge. Then, when someone was trying to hire her to kill Beatrix, the name of Charlie Cale was brought up. A woman who was like a human lie detector and who was infallible presented the challenge for the Iguana. Could she lie to the lie detector?

When she was explaining everything to Charlie, we got flashbacks to the last few episodes, placing everything into context, showing that it all would fit. There are some awesome details that were dropped and we see Alex and her ability to lie to Charlie. Alex told her that every time she had to focus on every little thing to prevent Charlie from discovering the truth. She said it was thrilling.

Poor Rhea Perlman. She had to come back for this episode just to play a dead body with a bullet in her skull. Charlie was able to figure out things, but just too late. I wondered why the show chose to focus on the “Big Red” gum Alex had given to Charlie. It was weird product placement, I thought. But it triggered a memory of a lie Alex had told Charlie a few episodes ago and it put Charlie on to the truth.

The chase scene was fun but let’s talk about the “To Be Continued” that flashed up on the screen as Alex seemingly drove Charlie’s car off a cliff into the Grand Canyon Canyon in Indiana, Thelma and Louise style. The screen froze with the car in the air, about to fall to their doom. I literally screamed out in shock. I wonder if anyone immediately shut off their TV in frustration at that point? I had just stared in shock at the unbelievable cliffhanger when everything started to rewind. The car went backwards and we see the POV of Charlie, as she jumped from the car and held on to a branch, dangling over the cliff as the car flew into the canyon and crashed in a fiery explosion.

What a moment that “To Be Continued” was. It felt both awesome and cruel at the same time. Somehow, Alex’s body was not in the car afterwards. Not sure how she escaped but the show is setting Alex up as Moriarty to Charlie’s Sherlock Holmes. The show gave Charlie an arch nemesis and I liked that, even if I had to suspend disbelief that Alex was not dead. However, after questioning the story last episode, I have learned that Rian Johnson has planned things out so when Alex inevitably returns, it will make sense then.

Sadly, Charlie is on the run once again, now from the FBI. Simon Helberg’s Agent Luca Clark giving Charlie a head start, telling her that the next time they met, he’d have to arrest her. I waited for Charlie to say “bullshit” but she did not, so I guess he is telling the truth. I like how this relationship with Charlie and Luca is progressing. Luca clearly is amazed with her and her intelligence and I hope there will be more with these two moving forward.

I know Poker Face has not yet been renewed, but this show has set up plenty of story for a third season so I hope Peacock knows what they have in this show or if they let it go, maybe another streamer like Netflix or Amazon would give it a go.

Natasha Lyonne directed this episode and she did a great job with several creative and original shots and images. Lyonne is also one of the most interesting characters on TV right now and I really want more of her.

Season two was very strong and ended with a big time splash.

The X-Files S10 E5, E6 & S11 E1

Spoilers

I wrapped up season 10 and then I had to start season because of the cliffhanger they left us with.

“Babylon”

Homeland meets Californication.

The X-Files had a Muslim terrorist angle that did not put a very positive face on it. It had a definite feel of islamophobia to it as the terrorist organization they were pursuing was Muslim.

It seemed as if the episode was as interested in introducing mirror images of Mulder and Scully. We meet Agent Miller (Robbie Amell) and Agent Einstein (Lauren Ambrose). They were younger examples of Mulder and Scully. Miller was a believer in the paranormal and the weird aspects of the world and Einstein was a scientist who was a skeptic. She was even a red head.

At first it felt like they were just a joke, but they actually turn into characters that would play an important role in the next episode.

The bizarre hallucinations Mulder underwent (thanks to a placebo, apparently) were strange and included the Lone Gunmen (RIP).

“My Struggle II”

Why will they not just shoot him in the head?

I was just screaming at the TV again when Cigarette Smoking Man showed up, not dead again, and plotting to expose the world to a deadly alien virus. Mulder had a gun on him again and just refuses to shoot him in the head. Why won’t he shoot him in the head? Everything can be over if he would just shoot him in the head… several times. Empty the gun.

We get an apocalyptic episode where the world is going to hell and Scully and Einstein race against time to try and find the cure for the virus. Meanwhile, Mulder is confronting CSM and NOT SHOOTING HIM IN THE HEAD!!!!

This episode did feel like a mess and wound up leaving on an insane cliffhanger. It was advertised as “This is the End” and it sure felt like it.

The show did bring back Monica Reyes and put her with CSM, which allowed me to freely hate her instead of trying to like her as I did in season 8 and 9.

“My Struggle III”

Nevermind.

Oh, that ending to season 10…. well, that was just a possible vision that Scully was having. Wink wink.

I wonder how much of the dislike for season 10 episode 6 there was in the world led to this changing of mythology in season 11.

I do not think that the revelation at the end of the episode would change the negative thoughts though as it was revealed that William was not Mulder’s son, but that he was artificially inseminated by CSM and that he was the father of Scully’s baby. Not sure why anyone would think that would be a well received idea.

It was hinted that William was the one sending these visions to Scully, which make little sense, but it definitely kicks off the storyline of finding William for season 11.

Oh, and Skinner won’t shoot CSM in the head either. Why don’t they just SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD? They have the opportunity to d it. Who would blame them. He is believed to be dead anyway. JUST DO IT!!!!

Oh and Jeffrey Spender is back this episode, but looking a lot better than he did the last time we saw him. Did it cost too much for the make up?

Poker Face S2 E8

Spoilers

“The Sleazy Georgian”

I loved this episode. I loved it because it was different than any other Poker Face episode. It started out as always, showing the crime before Charlie gets involved. This crime is a money drop gone wrong, with Shauna from Yellowjackets involved with John Cho. It seemed as if the whole thing was going down in a bad way with a couple of dead bodies.

It was pretty clear that there was some con going on, but I thought that it might have been a con gone wrong and that John Cho, who was playing a man named Guy, had actually bit the big one.

However, we go to Charlie meeting Guy in a hotel bar at breakfast time, just like Shauna did. In every other Poker Face episodes ever, this would be before the crime we see in the cold open, but this time, it was after. Guy was trying to set up Charlie for the con, and, of course, failing miserably because of her lie detector skill.

Guy introduced Charlie to his crew and they all kind of bonded… to a point where they wanted to have Charlie join them in a con. She wanted to think about it.

When she came back the next day, she had discovered that Shauna (Ok, not Shauna… Melanie Lynskey, who plays Shauna is playing Regina in this episode) had killed herself after the con.

In an attempt to get the money Regina had lost (which came from an orphan fund) back, Charlie agreed to join the con.

At this point, the show flipped things around again and I really liked the results. I have to say, I really thought this was Guy trying to prove that he could get away with lying to Charlie. That was not it.

I love the fact that Charlie is shown to be smarter than anyone else, even if she does not seem to be. She has so much common sense and does not just rely on her ability to tell when someone is lying. She set up a con to con the con, and got him in the end. The character of Charlie is also so original and unlikely looking of a protagonist who gets by with her smarts. I love how she is really not your typical hero.

This was a lot of fun and I thought the fact that they broke the format even more than ever before was an awesome thing.

The Last of Us S2 E7

Spoilers

“Convergence”

“You wasted it!”

What an end to the second season of The Last of Us. Abby comes face to face with Ellie and it sure seemed as if Abby shoots Ellie.

Ellie killed a couple of Abby’s group earlier, including Mel, a pregnant woman, and it was clear that it hit Ellie hard. Mel became collateral damage in this revenge and that shook Ellie to her core.

With the screen going to black when the shots are fired, we have no idea what happened to Ellie. Most series I would say that it was obvious that she would be fine, that it was someone else’s gun going off, but about a month ago, the show killed Joel so I would not put anything past it.

It did end the season with the idea that the show was going to switch POV to Abby as the episode ended with a chyron stating “Seattle Day One” on the screen after we saw Abby in the Wolves’ stadium. I do not know how excited I am in seeing the POV of Abby in this whole thing. I hate this character of Abby and I do not want to have my opinion changed on her. I am not interested in a redemption arc for her, seeing everything that she has been through. She killed Joel and she killed Jesse. I am sad for the loss of Jesse, by the way. I should have known earlier in the episode when Jesse said that he was not dying that it was just foreshadowing the end.

By the way, the short time that Ellie was on Scar Island with the Seraphites was utterly frightening. I was not sure how Ellie was getting out of that situation as the noose was around her neck and she was just about dangling off the ground. She was seconds away from being gutted like a deer by the Seraphites. Thankfully, an alarm goes off, preventing the scarred psychos from completing their ritual. Ellie has that luck roll working for her.

The shots of Ellie on the water in the thunderstorm was amazing scenes. The power of the storm was clear and the danger that Ellie was willing to put herself in to satisfy her own selfish vengeance is fully realized.

I was not sure that this was the finale of the season, and it left off at a horrible moment. Then, Abby seemingly the focus of the third season, at least at first does not make me anxious for the show to return. It is absolutely a quality show, but I worry that it may push some viewers, particularly those that are not the game players, away.

Going to Venus

By Billy Bob Joe

Part 1

 I went to space it was a delight but when I got there it was a fright 

I landed on venus plucked some grapes ate them up and maybe some tape

I went to explore and was very adored 

I saw some kids playing with toys and made me think of little boys 

They were playing with a seesaw and it made me beatbox 

My partner antonio tried to go to romio 

These words can’t describe the delight but a one word could be fright 

Antonio and I saw some things it was very weird 

He wanted to go to jupiter but if he went he’d get stupider we stayed on venus and he became the meanest 

My grace was taken just like brace taken off I no longer want to be here but I won’t be sent off

Oil Planet

Oil planet.

Part 1. 

I am making my own planet named oil planet. 

It is a dark wet and not many people want to go there 

to get some oil but they don’t want to get dirty 

from all the oil. But one brave person named Easton.

 He was scared to go but he still went. 

NASA gave him a spaceship that can go anywhere. 

And so he said his goodbyes and there he went. 

He was half way and he was about to lose his oxygen tank.

 His tank was gone now he was in full panicked mode 

and now he had to get his 2nd  tank out but it

 was now where to be found. 

So now he was about to die

 And got the last tank. 

Thank god it was where it should be and now he has a little bit of oxygen. 

Now he was close to getting to the oil planet to 

get some oil but then his spaceship exploded but luckily the 

presser from the cab was too much so it was the only thing that 

was okay. 

But now he was about to land but then…

Part 2.

 He saw some unimaginable things: people that aren’t people,

animals that aren’t animals.

They were like monsters but not monsters.

 But the people that were up there were clown looking people. 

So Easton got out of the ship and they all walked up

 to him and said hello earthling. 

And Easton said hello back but 

they did not respond, they just gave him some oil and 

walked back to their homes.

 He did not know what just happened 

but he is happy that they have left.

 Now he had to get his oil and

 leave so he did just that and got all the oil 

he needed but the rocketship was gone. 

He had to walk to the clowns and they had

 it but they were trying to start it so he got 

in with them and helped start it and they all went back to earth.

My Trip to Uranus

BY Al O’Vera 

Part one

I am an astronaut headed off to uranus.

I was excited for us.

We went on a rocket ship

For our very long trip.

Braelynn and me 

Had some tea.

But we hit asteroids
They looked like they were on steroids.

They spilled our tea 

So we were gonna flee.

We wanted to go home

But I fell asleep and dreamt of a gnome.

I woke up and looked outside and saw a star

The star was very far.

The oxygen was low

And the wind started to blow.

We saw the asteroids again 

So I locked my dog in a pen.

We had to sacrifice our dog

Because he was an oxygen hog.

He breathed very heavy

He belonged in a chevy.

My friend Braelynn 

Likes to spin.

Her brother Koda 

Wants a soda.

But we were out

And he started to pout.

We had hotdogs

We ate them like hogs.

Braelynn had a friend named Bailey

She brushed her hair daily.

She smelled like aroma

It smelled so good I almost went into a coma.

We could see the planet

So I put on a jacket.

I looked out my window

And saw a black widow.

We landed on the big blue planet

And we jumped out like a rabbit.

Part Two     

What is that big thing 

It landed on Uranus with a ting.

We are mad

We think they are bad.

They hopped out on to our dirt

I think their name is burt.

One said their name is Braelynn

We ate her as she started to spin.

The other one cried 

So we fried

Her up.

And the last one threw up.

We are spidermen

We do not have women.

The one tries to shoot us 

On our planet uranus.

She jumped into her big thing

With a ting.

We tried to catch them

We stood still like a stem.

They flew away

Like they were in may.

I stood right under the big thing 

That said ting.

There was a bright light 

And I went night night.

But then they put a flag right next to my nest. 

It was red and blue with white stars. 

Then they got back on the cylinder and flew away.

The Found Planet/The Unknown Human

Part 1

The Found Planet

By McNuggetMidget

I will go to a new place

that I will make my home base

But I have fear in my face

scared of what will happen in this place

If I am here

gone from my home sphere

But how will my family know

if I find my way home

I have to beat this space

so that I can find my way to a new place

I am done having fear

of what will happen here

So I will fly to Jupiter

the feeling still bitter

As I travel I know

that Jupiter will will be as cold as snow

Then I land on the planet that feels so hollow

I can’t help but take a swallow

Now I have made it here

to this place I no longer fear

Part 2

The Unknown Human

We are the aliens of this world

with our fists curled

We protect all of us

by making our enemies fuss

I see something come down from the sky

something that can fly

Then a human steps out

says our scout

We rush to the man

his spaceship is what we will scan

I can see that the man fears me

but I am just a sceple

So I help the man become our friend

and to the other humans, he will have more letters to send

As time passes, another person comes who is our man’s friend

our space feels invaded but there are now more people to tend

Our friend help us learn about humans and their mind

so now the aliens go on a learning grind

The man helps us find rare ores

so I help him find some tasty mushroom spores

The civilizations thrive now

but without the humans we would not know how

As me and the man grow old

we remember that without us this world would become cold

We lay to rest

On this planet of the best

Neptune

By Bigmack123

Neptune

Neptune a far, far, place from Earth

It will only take us 18.3 years

We have only had one problem

Space Captain Jack

As he walks through the ship in the shimmer of night

He moves like a shining light

Fast and swift 

As if he was a cast drifting along water

Like a new home was await

Acting casual the next day 

As if it was the perfect way

As if it wasn’t long 

Captain Jack made it strong

Captain Jack making our training hard

As if he was going to do something after all

Finally we were only one day till we got to Neptune

Captain Jack pulled the oxygen hose

I froze 

This is what he was training us for

I quickly plug it back in

Grab the tool kit

I hoped the part fit

And it did

He told me that we were training

But he was draining my spirit

We finally touched down on Neptune

As I kept my eye on him as he made me frown

And make me drown in sorrow of training with him

Part Two

I saw this spaceship landing on my planet called Neptuaning 

 For humans the planet Neptune

Then I seen this guy walk out in this space suit

Followed by another evil looking guy

I noticed him from somewhere

It was my nightmares about him

I can tell the future when I sleep

Then the other guy saw me and chased after me

Lucky in my dream he was the good guy

So I stopped around the corner 

He caught up to me

He asked what I was 

I responded Fred

I am a fred

He said his name is Jim

He started trusting me more and more

I led him back to my home

I told him my power

I told him that the guy he came with is evil

So he made me sleep and tell the future

The good guy dies

I told him and the we came up with a plan

He went back to the spaceship

He tried not acting suspicious

He did a pretty good job

Once they went inside to eat lunch

I snuck around and looked for a way in

All of a sudden I heard a boom zip

Then I passed out

I woke up in the spaceship

The Jim was being held captive by the bad guy

The bad guy had a sharp blade in his hands

But I can slip out of tight places so I untied the knots

That were holding me down then I seen it 

The bad guy threw the blade at Jim

I jumped without a doubt

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Jim shouted why would you do that

I was hit with the blade

I told him that it was ok and that he 

Should beat the bad guy 

Then I passed out

I woke up in a hospital on the space station

Jim walked up to me and said that he was glad I was okay

Then I realized my prediction was wrong I had changed the future

It was for the best

Jim said that he took the blade

Then forced him out into neptune

He had little food and water

And a spacesuit

Then we took off back to another planet

Never returning to Neptune
