If he'd try harder to understand the people he's transporting and treat them properly, it might be easier to accomplish their task. Abandoning everything that tied them to their community and heritage and their sense of worth just before the crossing could have impacted their success.
The struggle to survive the river crossing plays out with haunting notes from the piano as a backdrop. Immigrants fall from wagons and Thomas, James, Shea, and Margaret do their best to rescue as many as they can.
Actually, let's get it out of the way now and talk about her scene: While Kate infiltrated Maya's apartment looking for the Rolex from the Avengers Compound (more on that in a bit), Yelena sneak attacked Clint on a nearby roof, clearly following up on the tip Julia Louis-Dreyus' Valentina Allegra de Fontaine gave her at the end of Black Widow. Of course, Maya catches Kate snooping around her pad and it's not long before the two women join Yelena and Clint on the rooftop. (How Kate gets there, stalling while crossing a zip line, is admittedly hilarious.)
Tom Conroy of Media Life Magazine found the European flavour of the show, seen in such things as travelling by train to various cities, to be a refreshing change from the norm of American shows. He felt that Donald Sutherland was cast purely for the name-recognition factor and that he was given some lines in which he philosophically talks to pigeons as a means of justifying the cost of casting him. Overall, Conroy found it an "unimaginative procedural" that, despite its title, "generally colors within the lines".[28] David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle also found the location to be what sets Crossing Lines apart. He felt the presence of Donald Sutherland was a benefit to the show.[29] Joanne Ostrow of Heritage Newspapers felt the show to be a "contrivance for foreign sales more than a serious drama".[30]
Without all the shooting, Crossing Lines is more closely related to the special crimes investigations unit of the first International Criminal Tribunal at The Hague in the Netherlands. These crime investigators from all over the world do indeed operate across national jurisdictional lines in connection with major crimes such as murder, rape, torture and kidnapping that occurred in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. John Cencich's The Devil's Garden: A War Crimes Investigator's Story (Potomac Books, Washington, D.C.) demonstrates how police investigators from Germany, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States, and many others worked pursuant to the authority of the United Nations Security Council, without relying on national police forces, to investigate and bring to justice some of the world's worst criminals.[32]
Tony Soprano suffers increasing paranoia over his secret psychiatric sessions, especially after a near-encounter with Silvio Dante, who was visiting the dental office just opposite Dr. Melfi's suite. However, Tony is in no hurry to abandon therapy: he has also been developing feelings for the doctor, even to the point of having a detective in his employ, Vin Makazian, secretly follow and photograph her. Unfortunately, Makazian assumes Melfi is a mistress of Tony's, and oversteps the mark; when he sees Melfi with a date, he pulls the pair over on a false accusation of crossing the double yellow line, and after the date admits to having wine with dinner, proceeds to conduct a field sobriety test and then brutally beat the helpless man and take him into custody, stating to a confused Melfi, "You got prime rib at home, and you're going out for hamburger?" Tony's dangerous feelings even lead him to consider quitting therapy, but Carmela insists he continue, although she is still under the impression that Tony's psychiatrist is male. In fact, Carmela goes so far as to warn Tony that without continued therapy, their marriage will be at serious risk.
A.J. is left confused when a physically bigger classmate, Jeremy Piocosta, backs down from a fight with him and pays for a shirt he ripped in a previous scuffle. With some guidance from Meadow, A.J. comes to realize that Jeremy was intimidated by the reputation of his father. Tony had coincidentally met Jeremy's father the day before at a plant nursery as Tony was seeking pesticide for his garden corn. Tony's friendliness while holding an axe confused Jeremy's father, and probably provoked Jeremy to quit the fight. A.J. then learns from Meadow about what exactly their father does for a living.
Brien Allen is the last of the original crazy people who responded to this nutjob on Facebook wanting to start an online blog prior to Twin Peaks S3. Some of his other favorite shows have been Vr.5, Buffy, Lost, Stargate: Universe, The OA, and Counterpart. He's an OG BBSer, Trekkie, Blue Blaze Irregular, and former semi-professional improviser. He is also a staunch defender of putting two spaces after a period, but has been told to shut up and color.
Anyway, Laura tells Bradley that Cory may be fired anyway now, because the company is losing so much money on the streaming service they're trying to launch. (There are some yuk-yuk "another streaming service?" jokes here that are supposed to be funny because this is airing on Apple TV+, and they would land better if the service were doing better or the show were better.) Laura's bizarre piece of imagery: "The company's balance sheet looks like a hemophiliac's used Band-Aid." That is ... a sweaty, sweaty line, right there, wowza. Anyway, Laura tells her to make nice with Cory and the network for the time being.
Elsewhere in the camp, Dutton (Tim McGraw), Shea (Sam Elliott), Thomas (LaMonica Garrett), Josef (Marc Rissmann), and Wade (James Landry Hébert) meet to discuss how they will go about crossing the river that they have come upon. Josef explains to them that none of the immigrants know how to swim, explaining it was illegal in their homeland and that even drowned bodies would be wiped before they were buried. Ultimately, they come up with a plan and agree to forge the river midday the next day.
In the Hub, Stubbs is approached by one of the Surveillance Techs who informs him they have a host on a pretty big deviation from her loop. On his asking which one, the tech tells him it's the Rancher's Daughter from Sweetwater. "Dolores," Stubbs sighs, before asking if she's accompanying a guest? It's unclear she replies, Ford has disrupted so many storylines planning his new narrative it's hard to tell. He tells her to find her with Behaviour they can take her in and handle her that day.
Armistice waiting with her group, turns on the sounds of approaching horses, rising on seeing Hector lead in the MiB and Lawrence. "One match," she says, rising, suitably impressed. A grateful Hector tells the Man in Black that he's a capable man and they could use him where they're going. He declines, but Hector tells him they owe him a debt. The Man in Black responds that he only wants to speak with Armistice but advises Hector that he will not find what he is looking for in the saloon safe. Hector does not look entirely convinced. Keeping up her end of the deal, Armistice tells the Man in Black that when she was 7 years old, masked men in devils horns rode into her town "They killed everyone, women, children, even the animals. They gutted my mother from her jaw to her sex. I had to paint her warm blood over my skin to make sure that they would think I was dead. Everyone of them I tracked down I used their blood to paint my skin again." Noting that one part of her tattoo isn't yet coloured in red, the MiB figures there's only one man left. the head of the snake, and asks what his name is. "He has many names," she answers, "Most know him as Wyatt." The MiB smiling a little.
Lying in Theresa's bed after sex, Bernard watches her moving around her room getting dressed and searching for someone, wanting to know if she's leaving so soon. He's just got there. She rather cuttingly tells him that he gave her what she wanted. Asking her if that's all he's good for? Letting off a little stress? She replies "Who says I'm stressed?" Leaning over he retrieves her cigarette case from the bed clothes, "You have your tells," he says holding it out to her, Theresa breaking out into a genuine smile. "Bernard, master of observation." Getting out of bed he moves to help her zip up her dress, as she confesses she has to meet with Ford tomorrow. On his asking why, she tells him he's causing chaos in the Park, and the Board will be descending on them at any moment. She needs to buy some time. Some advice, he offers, best not to show him you're nervous or defensive. She tells him she has nothing to be defensive about. "Then don't cross your arms," he tells her, uncrossing her arms. "It's an ancient instinct. The belly is the most vulnerable part of the animal." As he kisses her throat, she smiles again, "So sexy being compared to a frightened beast." As she puts her hands on her hips, he grins telling her that's the posture she's looking for. Sometimes, she tells him flirting, despite his best efforts he can actually be quite charming. Kissing him, they initiate another round.
He suggests that she imagines he's lost his mind. She replies they are simply concerned by the size of the changes he's making. They want to protect his legacy. "My legacy," he chuckles, taking a moment before adding "You don't like this place much, do you?" He's seen many people like her come and go over the years and can tell the ones who enjoy their time in the Park and those who don't. She is frank, saying she admires it, the audacity of it. And that she had forgotten how beautiful it was. She recalls how she came to the Park once as a child with her parents, looking about she thinks they may even have sat at the table they are at now. But admits that when she started working here, she knew it wouldn't be a place she'd enjoy. He nods at her truthfulness, and tells her that, in the beginning when he opened the Park he imagined things would be perfectly balanced. Even had a bet with his partner Arnold to that effect. They made 100 'Hopeful' storylines, but almost no one took them up, and he lost the bet. Arnold, he says always held a 'somewhat dim view of people'. preferring the company of hosts. And pleaded with him not let a corporate influence affect the park. The money men. Delos. Ford recalls that he told Arnold it would be fine, that Delos didn't understand what they were paying for. It's not a business venture or a theme park, but an entire world, that they had designed every inch of. 781b155fdc
