through my mind of an old stone wall--the same one every time--covered in moss,
The mirror cracked from side to side, the curse has come upon me cried

THE FOOL'S ERRAND:
"Three ships approach from the South," he said. "I fear that it is a surprise attack by the Swords. Though I possess the sacred RW, I am helpless to prevent them from landing."
"I would not go in there if I were you," warned a woman tending to a garden of nine star-shaped flowers. "No one has ever found their way out."
"There must be a clue to the fourteen treasures here somewhere!”
“YES?,” the World suddenly replied.
“Praise be!” he cried, leaping for joy. “Please, I am in haste. What can you tell me?”
“Yes,” the World repeated.
The Fool scratched his head in bewilderment.
“You say yes, yet nothing more?”
“Yes” was its final word on the matter.
“Yet we might part with one basket,” the little girl whispered, “if you were to tell us the word of a star.”
“And the word of the pyramids!” the boy quickly added.
Keeping to the path, the Fool located a hidden fortress, perched precariously atop a lonely crag. It was here that he encountered the mighty Hierophant.
“I know of your quest,” spoke the priest suspiciously. “Four others have come before you.”
The road narrowed into a winding path that climbed up the side of a desolate plateau. As the Fool reached its top, an explosion of crimson fire blocked his way and out of the flames walked a stern woman, unscathed by the heat.
“You have dared to trespass!” she screamed wickedly. “It is common knowledge that to face the High Priestess is death, yet you have come here alone. Why?”
“I am just following the path that the sun advised,” he blurted out nervously. “Please tell the High Priestess that I meant no harm!”
“Tell her yourself,” she grinned, “for I am she!”
The Fool trembled in his pointed shoes.
“Yes, and I know of the sun’s tricks,” she cackled. “He has sent you on a mission to uncover the fourteen lost treasures of the world. Well, you are doomed to failure, for no one can undo the treachery I have inflicted upon the land!”
“You?” he murmured. “You have taken the fourteen treasures?”
The Fool twirled around, but saw no one standing next to him.
“Do you doubt their words?” the bright yellow sun asked.
Pacing back and forth, the Fool took a moment to reflect upon the events of his errand and then snapped his fingers with a smile.
“Why not at all!” he suddenly realized, “for I am the one who will save the land!”

मौसम ने ली अंगडाई, लहराके बरखा फिर छाई
झोंका हवा का आयेगा, और यह दिया बुझ जायेगा
सिलसिला यह चाहत का, ना मैंने बुझने दिया
ओ पिया, ये दिया ना बुझा हैं, ना बुझेगा मेरी चाहत का दिया
मेरे पिया अब आजा रे मेरे पिया
इस दिये संग जल रहा मेरा रोम रोम और जिया
फासला था दूरी थी, था जुदाई का आलम
इंतजार में नजरें थी, और तुम वहा थे
झिलमिलाते जगमगाते खुशियों में झुमकर
और यहा जल रहे थे हम
फिर से बादल गरजा हैं, गरज गरज के बरसा हैं
घुम के तुफान आया हैं पर तुझ को बुझा नहीं पाया हैं
ओ पिया, यह दिया चाहे जितना सताये तुझे यह सावन यह हवा और यह बिजलीयाँ
मेरे पिया अब आजा रे मेरे पिया
देखो ये पगली दिवानी, दुनियाँ से हैं यह अंजानी
झोंका हवा का आयेगा और इस का पिया संग लायेगा
सिलसिला यह चाहत का ना दिल से बुझने दिया
झोंका हवा का आयेगा, और यह दिया बुझ जायेगा

I was really surprised at how great Goode was as Adrian. He totally conveyed the calm, almost omniscient aura that Adrian has (seeing as he's watching his long-term plan unfold.) That final scene of him watching Dan and Laurie leave was great; Goode was so impressive throughout his entire performance. (Even his interviews are a cut above the rest!)
I missed his bio-dome rainforest, but liked his pharaoh chair (in front of the wall of tvs.) When he lets Dan hit him, over and over again, I like how it conveyed his 'i've made myself feel every death; i have nightmares' thing. He was so willingly docile, accepting his punishment almost, and metaphorically accepting Dan's anger and accusation. I liked how he 'owned' his guilt so throughly, in a sense.
I liked how he had all the action figures in his office, even an owlship! It was interesting that he would have such a visual reminder of them all there (almost the equivalent of a photo.) And how he treats Dan, hugging him hello and thanking him for coming so sincerely. It was interesting in its equality, their interaction seemed pretty 'on equal terms', even though Adrian is a famous billioniare ubermensch (in a sense), and Dan feels like he is a middle-aged nerd who used to build cool stuff in his basement.
Adrian was perfect in that scene: enjoying those last moments of friendship with Dan while knowing the clock was ticking. I think they seemed like they had kept in touch, they appeared to be friends. Just like it would be interesting to know if Rorschach was in contact with Dan between '77 and '85, I would love to read about Adrian and Dan being in contact too. Adrian seems to be almost totally alone, like Rorschach almost! A strange similarity. And of course the utter simplicity and obvious nature of his password Ramses II makes you wonder if he knew the group would go find him at Karnak--thus saving them from death, since otherwise they would have been in New York during the attack.
I hope people write/consider the aftermath of the squid. How would Adrian deal with it? Would he need/try to get Dan and Laurie to forgive him, acknowledge he was trying to save the world? Would he keep tabs on Dan, or write/call? It is interesting to think of his and Dan's possible reconciliation. No one can function totally alone, no man is an island--and Adrian did choose to spare the group from death (except for Dr. M). He clearly could have killed them as they approached Karnak, while they were inside, etc, but he doesn't. He doesn't even kill Laurie for shooting at him. Considering that he's killed every other person who 'maybe, kind of, vaguely' knows about the squid/apocalypse, I think his treatment of Dan especially is really interesting.
And was anyone else totally furious that he said 'I triggered it thirty-five minutes ago'--instead of 'i did it'. I was like ???????? I also wished they had shown him hit the button at 11:25. That would have been nice. But Goode's performance was perfect for me. I <3ed Karnak so much even without its rainforest :D

I liked the intensity of JEH's performance--in the snow especially.
I was really worried about if they would do the awkward handshake scene correctly, but I think they did it well. I also liked Rorschach's line to Dan in the owlbasement about knowing which streets the tunnel led out to because 'he used to come here often'--it was delivered so well by JEH, he sounded so hurt that Dan would remind him (because it implies he barely remembers him or their time spent together.)
I missed the sugar cubes something fierce, and even the squid, tbh.
The orchestral score was exceptional, done by Tyler Bates I think? I was very impressed. I liked how calm Adrian was, how it seemed like he had thought everything through, and it was now unfolding in front of him. I felt Goode really conveyed his character well, especially when Laurie and Dan leave him in Antarctica. He looks so alone. It's interesting that he lets them live, since he's killed everyone else who knows even part of the truth.
Since he's the 'world's smartest man', you have to wonder if he wanted them to discover his plan, almost to get their approval or something. I mean, I read that the Ramses II password was chosen for symbolism--they didn't mean it to seem ridiculously simple, but it's interesting to imagine 'what if he wanted them to leave NYC to escape certain death'? Dan, Rorschach and Laurie would have died in the carnage if they hadn't gone to Antarctica.
I liked Adrian's little pharaoh chair in front of his tvs. I really missed the little greenhouse rainforest dome!!! D: I loved how sad it was, to see that beautiful rainforest destroyed when he opened it up to the cold.
I regret that they had Rorschach go find his mask so soon during the prison breakout. It removed his chance to act with Dan without the mask. That would have been so interesting especially considering how great JEH was unmasked. I also would have liked to see Rorschach break into Dan's apt. again and give him the paper.
Dan and Rorschach's friendship was pretty well done though : ) I thought Dan's line of 'you were never that sentimental' when Rorschach says he was following him to protect him. That was surprising but also nice in terms of defining how central Dan's friendship is to Rorschach. I think Dan maybe can't see how much of an important human bond he was to him, and that his retirement was like a refusal to work with him, in a sense. I mean, how else can Rorschach see it? What other reason (other than crime fighting) would Rorschach have to come and talk to Dan? Suddenly, his only friend destroys their reason for hanging out, and he's all alone. How terrible.
And of course where was Dan's reaction to Hollis Mason's death?! That's when Rorschach gets to help him, in his own 'comforting' way. We miss seeing him pull Dan off that guy, and saying 'Meant to comfort you'. D: I can't wait to see the extended cut of this!!!
