Fannish girl at work

Ep 2: A Hawk from a Handsaw Ah so there’s a 20 year time jump and there’s a traveling group of actors and musicians - and it’s nice to see the arts surviving in a world (seemingly) decimated by a flu.  (Ohgod, the dude did the speech from Independence Day - which is a movie I love, and I love this speech  LOL  But it’s used in so many movies as a joke.  😆 Boo, plus it makes it chuckle everytime.

It’s amazing to see what the Traveling Symphony put together, for such small crowds.  They seem like a family though, and I really enjoy found families and people choosing to be together.  How do they eat?  Do the people that watch bring food?

Kirsten has small tattoos on his arms, looking like little ‘t’s’ - which a stranger points out but she doesn’t really explain.  I’m sad that Javeen isn’t with her, I know it’s 20 years, but still.  The way she found out her parents were dead (someone responding to her texts about the “body that belongs to the phone is in the morgue, don’t come here” - is dark.  On the one hand, it was kind of someone to respond, but it could’ve been a little softer.)

E1: Wheel of Fire A post apocalyptic story after a devastating flu runs rampant through the world and spotlights some characters trying to find their way back.

Jeevan, who definitely suffers from panic attacks finds himself carrying for a little girl named Kirsten who was part of the play he was watching when the lead man had a heart attack.  Kirsten was seemingly left alone and he escorts her home but that doesn’t go as planned and they end up spending 10K at a grocery store.  Why?  Because Jeevan’s sister called warning him the flue was going to decimate the world and was real - not sure how she knew that.  What made this different, why was she following the news so much?  She just sounded so definitive.  

The way Jeevan cares for Kirsten, barely knowing her, telling white lie to get her to stay with him, was so sweet.  And also (if there wasn’t an apocalypse coming) kind fo worrisome since this young girl went with a complete stranger.

The Christmas carole as a backdrop to the swarm of cars arriving at the hospital was disconcerting.  As was the plane crashing, I assume because the pilot was sick.  The call from the sister, expressing that she’s happy they’re together… was very sad.  I did appreciate that Frank did not argue with Jeevan (usually that happens when one character knows something and the other character doesn’t believe.)
