In Vancouver, we are often told that we live in Hollywood north, the Canadian hub of film and TV, fueled by nice views, nice people, and parenthetically, bargain basement tax, right. But honestly, most of those creative industries are deep underground. The movies often cover their presence meticulously. The common phrase is Vancouver never plays itself. But inversely, the movies never play Vancouver. Maybe that’s not clear. Let me explain. You almost never see filming occur. The signs a movie happened here always show up after the actual event. Like a burglar leaving a monogram glove in the safe he just emptied. You’ll be walking around somewhere downtown, when suddenly an underground entrance to the New York subway appears right in front of you here in Vancouver. You take a peek down and realize it’s a staircase leading straight into the floor. Like the Winchester Mystery House. A friend tells you oh yeah, they wrapped filming on a remake of taxi driver. That’s probably just a leftover. They’re doing a remake of taxi driver and you ask, Why didn’t anyone tell me? I like taxi driver. I could have given them some good ideas. But of course they don’t want your ideas. The movies hide themselves this way to make sure you don’t give them your ideas. You head to a vending machine to drown your sorrows and soda. But then you realize all of the brands are fake. Dr. Papa orange crasher diet paps up. It’s not even a real vending machine. It’s a prop leftover from an episode of Arrow. Still, the lights are on and it’s cold to the touch. So there must be something in there. You fish your pockets for catch. But you realize there’s nothing in your pocket but a fake American five. The words motion picture use only and in props we trust in circle Abraham Lincoln’s face. He is smiling, showing every one of his perfect gleaming white teeth. Oh, that’s leftover from a bank robbing scene your friend tells you they’re making a sequel to Rififi. They’re calling it ROFO or roo foo foo. I don’t remember. They’re making a sequel to Rififi. You think Why didn’t anyone tell me? I wrote my master’s thesis on Rififi with nothing but fake money stood in front of a fake dispenser after you just tried to enter a fake subway. There’s nothing left to do but resign yourself. You put the prop five bucks into the machine which diligently swallows it and you turn away then, totally against logic, the vending machine emits a heavy clunk as a fully branded can of diet pap so rolls out clean, shiny and cold. You take it and sip on it as you walk to the nearest bookstore. A nagging anger sits in the back of your head. Why did this have to be the most delicious thing you ever tasted? Danger
Danger Danger
Danger. Danger hasn’t come home yet
we’re gonna see danger
Will Riley
Everybody welcome again, it’s infinite danger episode two, the second ever episode. Thank you very much for all your kind words for the first episode. I’ve been getting a lot of really good positive messages have had a lot of congratulations. A lot of people saying welcome back to podcasting. Well, we I’ve been waiting for it’s for you. So for so long. I actually got like a few bouquets sent to my door and that was really lovely. Thank you very much. I haven’t actually I haven’t actually uploaded the first episode. I’ve got to Bank A lot of these just to make sure that I can get a pretty regular schedule. And I don’t know I was imagining what would happen when I put out the first episode and that it made sense. Danger Bay Episode Two running free first aired 19 AMI for October 15 which coincidentally is actually the day that I’m recording this I guess. Fortune is smiling down on me here. Interestingly, the production code is a little bit different here. The first episode we did was a 101 but we’re actually skipping ahead production wise into the sixth episode that they ever actually filmed. The reason that the production team would have to make this episode a little later than the others will probably become pretty self evident. This is an interesting episode and it is especially interesting when we compare it to the first one because you know how last time I was talking to you about how danger Bay is right off the bat trying to conglomerate so many different TV genres into what is basically a pure televisions sin criticism, we had it simultaneously be a medical drama and a police drama All despite being actually built around working at an aquarium etc etc. Well this episode is solidifying that they turned the show into a Western already they’ve already left their original grounds and are doing a total turnaround to make this into a Western.
I’m gonna give you a blind old Annabelle there and take you back where we come from.
Will Riley
I wasn’t being grandiose when I said that danger Bay is basically trying to be pure television. I think the words I used were we are listening from television itself. And I mean, that’s basically true. If you are going to have basically every TV convention thrown at you within two episodes. I think that there’s something that bears paying attention to there. Another interesting note here that I should mention is that this episode is directed by Stuart Margolin.
Will Riley
Now, Stuart Mercola his peak as an actor is sort of before my time, but he is an Emmy Award winner in fact, a double Emmy Award winner for his role in The Rockford Files as a character called Angel. But if
you don’t have a allow you one phone call.
Will Riley
The titular Rockford had a lot of contacts with the underground or the criminal underground. And angel is one of those characters. He is basically a compulsive liar just kill one of us that would be even better seat you could do Jimmy now. And then I go around and I tell people won’t get don’t cheat Chester’s here and then later on if you want to scare more people, why be available for the engagement? And he’s not actually in every episode. He has like a character that will have episodes built around him certainly, but he is not a regular character. And that seems to be a sort of danger Bay theme. A lot of character actors making good effectively. We have Stuart Margolin as a constant figure in TV but never the star getting to be a director. And we have Donnelly Rhodes, who was in a similar position though he never won an Emmy, he gets to be the central figure for once. That’s an anytime a pharaoh just gave me a hot tip on a classic alien the bat in Holly Park. Only trouble is I need 20. He is an American actor, but because of how the Vancouver landscape works, Stuart Margolin was living in salt spray, which is in BC, while this was being filmed to me was a pretty easy person to access. Now, I might be bringing this up a little bit by talking about Stewart microlens Emmys because those are Emmys that he got as an actor and he is not acting here. He’s a director. And Stuart Margolin is a very prolific TV director basically all the way till the end. But being a prolific television director, a lot of times means you will direct a lot of good things, but by the nature of taking so many jobs, a lot of what you’re doing is going to be things like Mary Kate and Ashley How the West Was fun. But you’re stuck in the city. Your name is Candy, but you’d rather be kidding, which I suppose Margolin got a bunch of Western directing experience here by doing this episode before moving on to greater things like Mary Kate and Ashley How the West Was fun You
Will Riley
so right at the very start of the cold open, they make no bones about the fact that this is going to be a Western episode. It’s all about horse rustlers.
Will Riley
We see a big pack of wild horses getting corralled by a lot of modern day cowboys effectively. They’re chasing them down with cars, chasing them down with their own horses, of course. And they’ve all got big fancy jean jackets on. One of them has a big american eagle on the back of it, which is an interesting sort of Melange, if you will, there’s a Canadian tuxedo with a bald eagle on it, the wrestlers chase the horses into a basically a cul de sac with a fence around it. And we see the one wrestler who is actually going to be given a name in this entire episode. Her name’s Becky, and the camera follows her with a lot of documentary style shakiness, which I think is probably a holdover from saltines company. Starting off as a documentary company, Becky grabs a rope and just ties all the horses in, which seems really flimsy to me. I think you know, horses are usually known for their leaping, I think they can get over a single bit of rope. But regardless, the camera pays a lot of attention to Becky emoting here, and Becky seems at least to be trying to be made a main character here. Now parenthetically, Becky is played by Pat Margo and who, as you might expect, is Stuart Margolin, his wife. The thing that’s kind of interesting here is that she’s Pat Margolin in the credits, but it seems like she never actually went by Margo and anywhere else in her life. I think somebody in the editing booth was a little bitter about it. Let’s say
later, Becky, my love right now you and me is gonna do some scouting Becky, my love Becky, my love Becky my love, but
Will Riley
the wrestlers regardless of how flimsy this trap may or may not be, they start celebrating their new catch, and they start hooting and hollering in the most stereotypical cowboy way that you could think of.
Will Riley
Before we go into the opening theme, now, this seems to be a bit of a holdover from the usual American stereotypes of cowboys, we’ve got a lot of cattle in Canada, we’ve got a lot of herders, we’ve got a lot of horse breeders, etc, etc. But the usual sort of cowboy up kind of a sort of jokey approach to the job is very rare to actually see here. They don’t actually talk like this up on this side of the border, the whole sort of Wuyi up that sort of stuff. doesn’t really happen in Canada. Usually Canadian ranchers say things like, I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to synergize our training and skilling procedures to exploit our core competencies. By bringing these horses into BH C holdings branding ecosystem will be better able to attend to vendor needs with an eye towards productivity and connectivity. So that’s, that’s the usual sort of rancher lingo when you come up across the border, the intro plays and again, what we’re looking at is really running at odds with what this episode is going to be about. It’s all aquatic, but we’re mostly going to be in a lot of this episode is going to be finding excuses for why the aquarium guy is going to be fighting cattle rustlers. On the other side of the theme song, we’ve left the rustlers they’re not going to show up again for another five minutes or so. Instead, we’ve got grant drowsily, looking over his papers at the aquarium lab with a various neon beakers in front of him and the opening. pre roll credits are still going we see the guest stars names, and Dale Wilson is a guest star. Now good on him for getting a name credit right at the start, because he’s still is not that big of a name. He will be a big name later, but not in the way that you would expect. We’ll probably get into that a little later. Evidence li his character is called Kramer in the credits, but he that doesn’t show up in the show. Only Becky Stewart mark, Colin’s wife gets a named role out of all of these characters. Now Dale Wilson has probably been picked for this episode, because he has a lot of credits in western TV movies. He’s in a bunch of TV movies with names like wild horse Hank, he’s in the gunfighters. He’s in something called Stone Fox, which I haven’t seen but the IMDB synopsis reads Little Willie must win a dog sled race in order to save his grandfather’s cattle ranch, you know, things like that. Also, he has an uncredited role in McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Because Vancouver, I mean, everybody and their dog has an uncredited role in McCabe and Mrs. Miller somehow if you live in Vancouver, Dale Wilson was also in the show called Ritter’s Cove, which is about an air taxi service in British Columbia. And of course Ritter’s Cove has also gone on to be its own sort of massive multimedia property. But of course, Wilson didn’t really have his huge role in that so he didn’t get to share in the glow of being part of the Ritter’s Cove cinematic universe. So starting the episode off proper, we see grant, he is dealing with a bunch of paperwork, and he seems to be about as sleepy and drowsy and sort of stumbling as he was at the start of the first episode. It’s going to be a bit of a motif as we continue on thinking. So he’s doing his paperwork, he checks his cotton and realizes that his button is missing. And so he starts doing a sort of Blue’s Clues looking around the building. Looking for this button starts going into a fish tank and asks the fish when you see my button, just sort of entertaining himself. I’m sort of distracted during this scene, looking at the papers that are hung up in the background of his office. There’s a child’s drawing of a squid, which is kind of cute. But there’s also a poster of a beluga making in my broken modern brain. What can only read as a pagas face to me just looking directly at the camera just going your pug champ. Grant gives up on looking for his cough button. And he just sticks the two sides of the cough into an office stapler and just chunk sick of fixes them together. And the moment he does this Hakan begs George Dunbar Hagen begs the aquarium chief of police, of course, he makes the most wonderfully square comment, oh, my niece would love that staple, if she’d call it high fashion. And to really just shout it to the back of the crowd, how much of a square this character is he goes, I think they call it Park. The fact that he has to add this tag to it really is brilliant. It really hits home. How much of a stick of a mud this character ID is France reply really just shows how joyfully lame both of them are in this moment. Well,
I call it being in a hurry. My kids have been asking me to update my wardrobe Do you think that this will satisfy them.
Will Riley
And as he walks off, I gotta I gotta say, after joyfully talking about how square you are rent are those old new balances paired with khakis that I spy. So now we finally get a bit of plot and expository dialogue, effectively the excuse for how we’re going to move grant from where he is here to a totally different biome. Basically,
I just got off the phone with fisheries. There’s a problem with several of the lakes in the wilderness area.
Will Riley
Surely there’s a more technical term for this than wilderness area. I’m going to have to double check on this, but I’m pretty sure that you would say a wildlife reserve or a biodiversity zone, something along those lines. I’m tempted to think the writers just left the placeholder word, you know, wilderness area, and then they just never got around to doing the research to find the real word. I went and double check. There are protected lands resource exclusion areas, which is a cool name conservancies designations under the environmental land use act just like national parks with different classes. There’s a Class A Class B, class C, there’s all these different words that they could have used other than wilderness area, they somehow managed to pinpoint the one term that was incorrect. The reason that grant has to get sent over to the prairies basically, is there’s a possible BK D infection in the trout and that stands for bacterial kidney Disease.
Well, that is a problem and it’s PKD. The only way to stop the infection from spreading to the other lakes is to boys and all the fish in the infected lake. I guess this means that weekend camping trip, I already arranged
the flight BKD
Will Riley
is a disease that only affects aquatic life as far as I know. But there have been a few scares and a few weird stories. There’s a story about Christopher crab relayed to us by the casting director Richard starfish, because Chris crab was never going to be in this episode. He never actually read the script until a lot later and apparently got the wrong idea. When he read it. He became very afraid that he was going to catch BKD himself. He locked himself in his house, he refused to speak to anybody. He steadfastly refused to ever drink any tap water for fear that it was infected with BKD. Somebody offered him smoked salmon at some point and then he just threw it in their face. Eventually, somebody caught him before he very nearly poisoned his koi pond. But I mean, this was he was still very young. When he did this. He didn’t really understand what was going on. I mean, this was way back in 2000, or one he’s way smarter about this than he used to be. And sort of a makeup for the fact that grant is being forced on to this assignment before the weekend. He is allowed to bring his kids to make it sort of a a working holiday almost a camping trip. Now grant is only going to bring the coal along Jonah won’t be coming because Joan
has already made arrangements to spend the weekend with Dennis I’m just being a cold on me.
Will Riley
Now, here’s the interesting thing. I when I said last episode that Dennis is only going to be in one more episode, I was telling the truth. And Dennis is not going to be in this episode. He is simply going to be mentioned to explain why Jonah isn’t there. Dennis is already a structuring absence. When you mentioned Dennis, absence of other characters is soon to follow. Nicole, however, shows up she is more than pleased to have the opportunity to go on a trip and to go camping. Are you
kidding, Greg? When are we leaving?
Will Riley
After saying that she is. She also goes ahead and makes fun of grant for having a staple for a cufflink carry on capital conflict.
Nice such that this
Will Riley
really is the funniest thing that all three of these people have encountered for basically an entire week. They all love being square. They’re all very excited about the khakis that they’re wearing. They’re going to have a mayonnaise sandwich after this. They are going to laugh hysterically at the next Jimmy Fallon and they are going to go on a camping trip. And I guess it’s sort of appropriate having these characters on the screen that we have some really wonderfully square super mellow music. I never said it but I really love the danger Bay music you know listening to this whole office scene. If you thought that feels so good by Chuck man Gionee was too energetic and not mellow enough. This show has got you covered you can just soak yourself like a warm bath into this music
Will Riley
that Chuck man God is a real class act. That Chuck man, man God
that Chuck man God is one class
one class I think they call it we call on people on one plant Did you see my button when? I think they call it
Will Riley
so cut to what is basically the interior of the province of British Columbia. We’ve got a lot of dry grass, and a lot of rolling hills not very many Rocky Mountains. Joyce’s pontoon plane carries grant and Nicole overhead. For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember, Joyce was the character who did the Hello lift on the otter in the previous episode. She’s didn’t do much that episode. She’s not going to do a lot this episode, but she has her own title card throughout the series. Almost immediately we see a pack of wild horses running across the prairie. Nicole, the Lisa Simpson of the show surprising no one is a horse girl and start immediately taking photos with what is basically a little Polaroid camera. Do
you think you can get closer? I don’t think my camera can get good pictures this far up Sir.
Yeah, he’s a beauty. All right, no,
Will Riley
the camera follows them for a while as the music soars, and it eventually affixes its attention to the quote unquote pack leader. Now, you can’t really get mad at a show about wildlife for using trained animals. Even if it is about wild horses. The one thing I would say is that if you are making a episode of a TV show that has wild horses, you should probably not give them the shiniest newest horse shoes that you could think of. It’s not just that you can see the horse shoes, it’s that the glare from the light bouncing off of these brand new horse shoes is actually getting in the way of the filming. Now this scene is the first time that we actually get a little bit of backstory on the Roberts family, before even coming to BC before meeting their otter friend or anything like that. They point out the pack leader. And
it’s just like magic carpet. Yeah,
right, you get the magics twin, magic carpet. And so horse my wife had when we lived in Africa,
Will Riley
it’s a horse that my wife really loved before she died. It was from back when we were living in Africa. Now, obviously, the Roberts family, if they are working with wildlife, it makes sense for them to have spent some time in Africa. Maybe Grant was working at a wildlife preserve. Or maybe he was taking photos of rare African, you know, jungle cats or something like that. But I mean, when you think of how, how skilled at various action scenarios grant is, and how wealthy the Roberts family seems to be just hearing like, oh, yeah, we’re a nice Canadian family. We just happened to be hanging around the south of Africa prior to 1984. I mean, I mean, maybe they were big boosters for the ANC. But it’s a kids show, we’re never going to find out what the Roberts clan was doing prior to the election of Nelson Mandela. Nicole, of course, is more focused on these horses. She’s taken pictures with her Polaroid. And despite the fact that all of this dialogue is going to be about how much Nicole likes these horses and how transfixed she is by them. Everybody in this scene is very strangely dead eyed as they give all this exposition. I mean, it’s probably not fun to film yourself on a flying plane, let alone a plane that probably has room for maybe four people. The three the three actors and then one cameraman Joyce decides to give Nicole her camera which has a much nicer telephoto lens, it’s better for long range, obviously, compared to her little Polaroid. Now this camera is actually going to be pretty plot important. If you put it on 500 I bet you can get some really nice pictures of that stallion down there. Great thing is that she gives this camera she drops the main characters off, and then she just leaves on the back tomorrow. We don’t even see her flying the plane as she leaves there’s just a shot of a plane flying overhead and then Joyce is gone for almost all of the rest of the episode. She is going to show up in so many episodes and I’m not going to have very much to say about her for a while. Grant has a quick talk with the man who’s minding the lakes for the forest ministry who basically repeats the situation about the risk of BKD and the fact that you’re gonna have to poison the lake if these trout do have BKD he has a really nice mild Scottish sort of lilt to his voice which gives but he’s talking about a little bit more of a of a pleasant sound to it. At the very least if you
find out that it isn’t BKD let us know right away otherwise we’ll start poisoning in a couple of days. And then
Will Riley
after saying all this he lends grant his truck which he says has a full tank of gas and just sees them off him and his assistant see him and Nicole leave and they have just a mile wide smile as they wave in a perfect three quarter angle
Will Riley
like they really want to make you know everybody in the world loves grant everybody loves Nicole and you know the Roberts are nice people just don’t ask them about South Africa. So now the camera finally comes back to the horse wrestlers from the cold open. They established that they have just sold the horses that they rustled up in the cold open one of them jokes Yeah, well it beats selling and say copias we finally see Dale Wilson who is the boss rustler Kramer as we’re told Dale Wilson, I guess because he’s getting a more major role in this TV show. He really wants to establish that he looks good without a shirt. He’s walking around handing everybody else their cut. Becky, who has shown washing herself off in a creek nearby, is apparently Kramer’s main screes he immediately takes her off with him alone to quote unquote do some scouting later
Becky my love right now you and he’s gonna do some scouting. We’re gonna make a haul we got to fight another
Will Riley
hurt. Well, I guess we all know what this means. They’re not going to say it on camera, obviously. Although, I mean, the handkerchief in the back pocket of Dale Wilson does maybe tell a different story. I mean, this isn’t my scene, obviously. So somebody else can maybe tell me what having a brown handkerchief in your back pocket and having it be so long that goes all the way down to the back your knees? If someone can tell me what that means. Yeah, maybe that will bring some clarity to the themes of this episode is this grant checks out some fish with a net. Apparently the risk of BKD is bad. So he is going to be off camera for a little bit. And that’s basically what the role of this whole BKD plotline is going to be the BKD plotline basically exists to support the rest of this to explain why grant and Nicole are there and why they would happen to come across horse rustlers at all. But anyway, there is a risk of BKD he tells Nicole well, you’re gonna have to go and do some stuff on your own. Sure enough, what does Nicola choose to do when she has time to explore on her own, she’s going to take pictures of the horses. And so she comes up to a few horses, she’s got her neat little Polaroid camera. And I guess this is really just an Uber thing for the teenage girls of no matter what era no matter where we are in time. Taking a picture of a horse with yourself in a Polaroid is basically peak, girly thing to do. Sure enough the pack leader magic carpet the second I suppose is there and before she can feed it, it runs off. Shed
some sugar cubes
Will Riley
evidently path leading the horses away from for rustlers he happened to be there. The rustlers have already upgraded their operation they are now using not just horses but dirt bikes in order to scare these horses into the right place. Now having witnessed this, Nicole basically has whistleblower status. And with that whistleblower status, she is now able to leave that pack leader magic carpet The second is apparently very important because he leads off the horses prevents them from getting caught. And then one of the rustlers from a Jeep recommends well maybe we should shoot the pack leader that will make the rest of the job easier. Once you make our job a lot easier. We get the others in a snap. Now in the last episode, we saw poachers that had itchy trigger fingers. But this is special because it’s not just a killing. They’re basically talking about doing an assassination on a horse. They’re trying to disrupt Horse Society they want to take out the horse JFK or the horse MLK, the only reason not to it seems is that the horse will fetch a good price on the market.
No way I’m saving that baby for myself. He’s gonna bring a bundle at the rodeo mark and Nicole later
Will Riley
on does some sleuthing of her own and finds that horse trap. I’m not sure how they these work. There just seems to be some fences on a rope. And my experience playing The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time tells me that neither fences nor rope are very good at stopping horses. She sees it she sees that it is some sort of a trap. And then she yells out rustlers with the same urgency you would say if you saw Hells Angels horse trap right rustlers and I mean it’s a reasonable reaction in this world I guess. What are rustlers apart from land poachers? What is stealing a horse but the land equivalent of fishing salmon out of season cut back to Grant who has sort of a cool shot he is looking through a microscope with a bunch of test tubes in the middle of the wilderness. It is it’s very much like an album cover you’d expect to see from maybe 2001. It’s a very Boards of Canada sort of image, both the real thing and the band, Nicola and grant have a discussion over the possibility of whether the risk of rustlers is actually found it or not, they start talking about why it would be a bad thing to be a rustler here. And it’s it’s sort of odd because because it is a very doctrinaire TV show, even if it has sort of an environmentalist bent demand thing that they can quantify with horse rustling here as being bad is the fact that they are doing it on government land. And I mean, does that suddenly make it more moral? If it was off of government land? They’re using Legalist arguments rather than moral ones here?
Are you positive? No.
But why would it be a hidden trap on government land?
It does sound pretty strange.
Will Riley
But I mean, I suppose that this episode did have a bit of a good legacy because the government did crack down on a lot of horse rustling in government lands, they’re way more strict about it now. I mean, you’d get in the way of all the lithium mines Anyway, the next scene is actually kind of hard to riff on, because it’s actually very nice and very sincere. I sort of mentioned in the previous episode that grant was a widower. But this is the first scene in which they actually confirm that that Nicole and grant are lying in sleeping bags underneath the stars.
Are you asleep?
I’m asleep, they asleep too.
Will Riley
Silly sometimes. Grant makes a very bad dad joke. And Nicole square that she is is incredibly entertained by it. Like Oh, Dad, you’re so silly. Sometimes. I talk a lot about how this show got translated all over the place. And it does seem like one of those lines that is built around translation more than it is built around the actual Direct English experience of watching the program. Nicole just talks at length about memories of her mother learning about stars and constellations.
Do you remember what we used to do when we saw shooting star
make which is kind of
hoping we’d see one tonight?
What would you wish for
Will Riley
Donnelly Rhodes does something really interesting here acting eyes because because he’s lying down. His voice is a lot more gravelly than it normally would be. And he’s sort of embracing it.
Sweet. Make your mother give anything if there was something I could do now.
Will Riley
While he’s playing either an Action Man or kind of a dove for the most part in this show. He is doing something very different here by having his voice get really gravelly as he’s talking about his wife and his daughter’s mother. It’s comes off very sincere. And I mean, I made fun of Donnelly Rhoades, the actor a little bit in the previous episode for you know, he is dyed hair and for all of his divorces but he is seems to have understood loss at least a little bit. Even if having a divorce is a little different from you know, having your wife die over
the memories of your mother and I wish you a happy loving times. Things that made her so special to us. Those memories make us
don’t think I’ll ever stop wishing she was with us.
I think she is with us. Nicole
Will Riley
Donnelly Rhodes is actually a very good actor. And he’s showing that he is a good actor in this scene. The dialogue itself is like is written maybe in a little wooden way. It is two different cliches because they’re talking about what wish you’d make if you saw a shooting star. And then they see one and they go well, I think I think that my wife is here in spirit and she made the wish for us. So really is a layering of two different writing cliches, you know making a wish on a shooting star and talking about how a dead person is here in spirit and then going all the way into mixing them to say that oh, the dead person who is here in spirit is the one who is making the wish but They believe in the dialogue enough that it’s very difficult to knock it if you’re actually listening to it. They’re doing a very good job.
Maybe she just made a wish. She wished that you and Joan and I would have been happier lives.
I think so too, we will.
Will Riley
After that scene the next morning, Grant gives a bit of expository dialogue to the Wildlife Reserve guy, saying that it’s probably not BKD what he’s been seeing in the fish, but he still needs to double check. Nicole mentions the rustlers again. And it was a theory up till now. But the Wildlife Area guy mentions that if there is a possibility that there is actually rustlers around, and so it gets brought up again. So Nicole may have
spotted some bonafide wrestlers that have
possibly times are tough, and there’s big bucks to be made from stealing horses. Just because
times are tough doesn’t give them the right to wrestle those Mustangs.
Will Riley
Nicole asks why these wrestlers should even be around here. And then in a massive tonal whiplash from the previous scene, Grant just out and says it.
I mean, some of them are made into pet food. That’s off.
Will Riley
A lot of these horses get made into pet food and interesting personal story about this scene. Back when I was working in PR, I had a co worker. And as we talked, the conversation turned all as it inevitably does to danger Bay. And he brought this scene up in particular. And he said, it’s such a good example of how morally complex danger Bay actually is. And I had to ask him, well, what do you mean by that morally complex? And it goes, well, I mean, you could either save these horses, but then end up having all of these dogs and cats die. Or you could have all the dogs and cats die from not having any food, and then let the horses live. And then, you know, I had to serve Tom, I don’t know if that was exactly the intent of that scene. And he goes, No, I’m not saying that. It’s good that these horses get killed to make pet make pet food. I’m saying that danger Bay is smart enough to know that there is always going to be some animal dying, and it’s our job to figure out which ones do and I’m not saying that it’s good. I’m just saying that it’s morally complex. And that makes danger Bay a good show. He got after I asked the first question, he got a little defensive. He’s an interesting guy. He’s he’s pretty smart. I think he made his way up in the PR world. I’m trying to remember I think he’s working at items now. Maybe a Purina. And I mean, to be fair to him, there is a 2005 episode of danger bay that is about a pet food shortage that causes a lot of troubles. They don’t directly say that it’s because of horses or anything like that. But most people who are big danger Bay fans speculate that that was the cause, regardless of what the aims of these wrestlers are, there’s not enough evidence to truly pin them, or to even assume that the wrestlers are even there. They don’t have they don’t have enough evidence to bring them in. There’s nothing left to do. But for grant to make his final prognostication about what’s going on in all of these lakes and all of these trout, what we get next is actually a very interesting sort of bio lesson, Grant brings out a bit of a plant and he says, Oh, the whole cause of all of this, all these trout are sick because of Eurasian milfoil. And Eurasian milfoil is an invasive plant in BC, what it’s doing apparently is taking up so much of the oxygen in the water that is growing in that it’s suffocating a lot of the fish. So all these fish are dying for a different reason than BK D, and so the trout are saved. How the
milfoil get there, oh,
hikers, boats, a bird, even a boat, propeller, whatever. The Happy fact is that it can be cleaned up and the lake restored.
Will Riley
Now here’s the thing. I’ve talked about all this aquatic science here, what BKD is and what Eurasian milfoil does to lakes. I think that in the show, we only talk about actual aquatic stuff in this episode for about two or three minutes, maybe a minute and a half. And it’s interesting to think that they pulled out all this info and put it into this show purely as an excuse to get these guys to deal with horses. It’s a part of the episode that is ultimately cool. have disposable for what they wanted to do. And yet somebody has decided to actually put in the effort to talk about the science and actually mentioned BKD, or Eurasian milfoil. You could even cut this down even further if you wanted to, and just go, let’s go to the lakes. Something is weird. Oh, it’s Eurasian milfoil. Oh, look over there. There’s some cowboy adventures to be had. But instead, they’ve done all this work for what is the most disposable part of this episode. It’s the most informative part of the episode, but it is also the most disposable by default, because it’s the only thing that is not part of the main plot. So the mystery solved with a whole act left to go. And grant goes, well, it’s time to pack up Nicole, you go over there while I work. And he’s basically just saying like, Alright, go over there and get kidnapped so we can advance the plot. I
got to take the truck and go pick up Joyce. I’ll be back in a few minutes. Okay,
Will Riley
so as he’s getting all of his test tubes and microscopes and everything packed away, Nicole, sure enough goes around with the camera that Joyce has given her. And Nicole immediately repeats the plot points of the previous episode by creating a surveillance sting for poachers, in this case rustlers, but this time because she has a big telephoto lens that she got from Joyce, she’s basically able to do all the poacher espionage that her dad did.
Will Riley
This time, though, instead of catching a glint from a lens like the poacher who has to had sniper instincts, Becky, the lady rustler, just saunters over right behind her and just quickly abduct her. Anybody ever tell you horses could be hazardous to your health? Could you leave me alone. And note that true to the whole western genre that they’re working with now, Becky is wearing the black hat in this scenario. We cut ahead, Becky has taken Nicole somewhere else. And she opens up the camera and exposes all of the incriminating photos and destroys them. There’s a strange exchange that goes on here. I don’t know if the horses nine having their pictures taken. But we do. Horses
don’t mind because they’re not criminals.
Will Riley
Well, the horses don’t mind because they’re not criminals. There’s something so strange about the phrase horses aren’t criminals, that makes it roll around in my head a whole bunch. Even if they’re saying that they’re not criminals, placing horses in and out the formal structure of criminalization is such a weird way to put it also putting them in relation to the idea of surveillance, like you’re using the line like Oh, non criminals have nothing to fear from surveillance, except you’re placing it upon an animal. Like if I make a video of a cat playing with a laser pointer, it’s primarily okay with the cat, not because it doesn’t understand, but because it knows that it has not committed any insider trading recently, because they’re not criminals. I mean, I think it’s feasible that a horse could commit a crime. I mean, a horse can kill somebody with a kick, they could trample them maybe even head bottom. I mean, I think a horse could probably do wire fraud if it really set its mind to it. Maybe poison some dog food. There is something really about the philosophy of documentarians. In this. There’s a question that often happens when people make documentaries about people over whether or not the very act of observing a person is making them change their behavior, or if it disrupts their life in any way, does observing the thing change the thing? And by bringing up this idea of whether or not a horse even minds having their picture taken here, does sort of bring something up in terms of how these former documentarians are thinking about their job as taking pictures of horses. They’re basically going we as documentarian of nature, aren’t disrupting things. If anything, we’re pointing out all of the people who are making disruption. So these poachers and these rustlers and you know polluters, etc, etc. They’re saying as far as the natural world is considered, our observation is not being a disruptive force. The complication here though, is that these documentarians are making a fictional show about people who work at the aquarium who de facto do disrupt the environment for the sake of observation, they de facto need to take something out of the natural environment in order to place it into some place that it can be seen by the general public. And this show, in many ways is still not exempt. I mean, remember, we saw all those quote unquote, wild horses in the show, but all of them are already shooed
the wild horses on
Will Riley
the central paradox about making a TV show that’s about the value of untampered nature is that when you make that show, by default, you’re going to have to use the most tampered bits of nature, you’re going to have to have a trained river otter, you’re going to have to shoo all of the horses that you’re showing on TV, you are going to have to put all of these boats into places that maybe they wouldn’t be otherwise. And who knows how that’s affecting the water life that’s below it. But I mean, that’s not really a moral judgment. It’s just what it is. I mean, there’s not really going to be any way that we can have a no graven images of wild animals law that comes around, either religiously or politically. Personally, I think the only way that we can solve this paradox is to make every show about dragons and unicorns. I think that that would probably stitch it right up real quick. Now, to be clear, I’m not out here saying that the cowboy episode of danger Bay is some rumination on the art of documentary making that is on par with the thin blue line or the act of killing. I mean, that would be crazy. I’m just saying it’s in the top three among those. I’m not crazy. We’re all set.
It’s much time to pick up. They were the horse dragon. I’ll take your struck down a real job. I’m sure you’re there.
Will Riley
Dale Wilson finally shows up and confronts Nicole, and effectively does the usual Oh, nobody’s gonna believe you. But a very odd bit of dialogue choice. He says something along the lines of
bad I’m just gonna leave her, you know, kids imaginations. UFOs rustlers follow the same thing. And
Will Riley
it’s clear, a little bit of world building in this show. I suppose. It’s clear that the poacher mind in this universe is really incapable of conceiving childhood thought. In the last episode, somebody just assumed that all these kids know what all the fishing laws are. And in this time, we’ve overcorrected in the opposite direction. Kids just constantly come up with grand fat fantasies about poaching wild horses, because I mean, why wouldn’t a child want to do what I want to do? I mean, I’m great. Tricking a few horses to go into a little fence is a myth that is as grandiose as aliens from another world. So the evil cowboy does a big cartoony cowboy spit, and then sends Nicole out on a blind lame horse named old Annabelle, just to
show you what kind of nice guy I am. And because you’re some kind of horse lover, I’m gonna give you a blind old Annabelle there and take you back where we come from. They might
Will Riley
and it’s just like a regular horse, but I mean, it is a little older. It looks a little sad. Mainly, I just sometimes think I know a lot of people in real life who are named Annabelle and I sometimes wonder what it’s like to walk around having that name. I mean, this is, this seems really cruel, but I mean, are there times if your name is Annabelle? Do you walk around sometimes and feel like you’re a boy who’s been named Fido now? Just because there are so many horses that are there’s so many horses named Annabelle there are so many cartoon cows named Annabelle. It’s like, you know, I guess the male equivalent is like if you’re named Mickey in 2023. The wrestlers all just flee off somewhere and Nicole is left just sort of awkwardly standing in the middle distance with a holding this old horse Annabel’s bridle.
There she is, because
Will Riley
Joyce grant finally shows up with Joyce who is back into the show now now we’re finally getting into the action part of this episode. And because of that, the dialogue speeds up a lot as they get a plan in action. Yes,
dad. That took the horses away in a truck.
Which way did they go? Well,
the truck was heading north, but the leader took off on horseback on a shortcut to the whale junction you to get to the pickup. Try to get through the Rangers right then I’ll get the plane and I’ll try them from the air. Good. I’m going after the one on horseback. What do you look like?
Will Riley
The show is effectively admitting that they’ve been taking it slow for a good long while in this episode, it’s basically just going to summarize as Nicole and Joyce are going to surveil from the air basically outside of any of the action of the what’s left of the show, and grant is going to chase him on land. What’s really weird is that this episode has been about the treatment of horses and basically grant outright admits he’s gonna ride this week horse Annabelle really hard
death named Annabelle but I don’t think just fast enough to catch
up you’ll be surprised what they can do when they have to sweet girl you’re gonna have to
Will Riley
which is a weird mixed message because obviously, he’s doing it to save these horses but he just openly says yeah, I’m gonna push this horse past what I what it normally would do. I guess this show really is morally complex. He’s already undercutting what this episode is about.
Will Riley
Now here’s a part of the episode again that is really to Donnelly Rhodes is credit. They’ve given the excuse as to why but grant the aquarium man knows how to ride horses and ride them well. And kudos. Donley Rhodes knows how to ride a horse. All these shots of him riding the horse are him and he’s doing pretty well. He’s riding without a saddle. I mean, the man really is doing a gallon Dudley do right routine here. Because like I said, Donley Rhodes was in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He has this Western experience. And this episode is playing to that acumen. We get some very lovely shots of Donnelly Rhodes riding this horse through the drier parts of British Columbia. I’m guessing that a lot of this is either in Penticton, or a soya someplace in the interior of British Columbia where the summers are really dry and Han. And it it looks really nice. It’s not quite like the California desert or like dry parts of Italy where they film, spaghetti westerns. But it is pretty lovely. All these shots really reminiscent of another Western that Donnelly Rhodes was in. It was in like 1965. And this is like right after k do cinema really got the idea that Johnny Guitar was actually a Western masterpiece across. So there were a lot of people trying to do copies of Johnny Guitar. And this one was just called tuba Bob not really the most biggest role that Donnelly Rhodes ever had. He was the heavy in that movie. So he was the main guy who got beat up by a guy with a tuba he, you know, grabbed his head, shoved it into the big end of the tuba and then blew on the tube are really hard. Pull them out and there’s like a bunch of Tweety birds flying around his head and he’s, you know, falls backwards in a sort of a cartoony faintly way, it it wasn’t a great movie. And you know, Donley roads wasn’t really treated that well. Most of his lines in that movie were things like you know, you’re in for a bruise and to baboy none of it was that great Quentin Tarantino was a big fan of the movie though. As we near the end of the montage of grant pursuing these rustlers by horse, we get a long sequence of him riding Annabelle through a stream. And I really only mentioned this because when we get a shot of the horse’s legs going in and out of the water, we see oh, yeah, Donnelly rose really is rocking the new balances here. I mean, kudos for him that he is rockin new balances while trying to ride a horse without a saddle. He’s got a weird posture on the horse, though. It’s kind of interesting, because he’s got his legs curved outwards like he’s trying to avoid getting his shoes wet. He really doesn’t want to crease these new balances. We change perspectives over to Joyce and Nicole here, who are despite being in an action sequence really just safe and sound in the pontoon plane as they chase down what’s left of these rustlers as they are running away. The people who are actually in hot pursuit here are the people with the fishery ministry. So the guy with the with the Scottish lilt in his voice,
I can be there in less than five minutes and you stay with him until we get there. Affirmative. Having
Will Riley
access to this plane means that you get some very good aerial shots of the chase that I don’t think that they would have otherwise got. This is all on a dirt road. So there’s lots of dust getting kicked up. You get some really cool looking power slides from a guy in the fisheries van And basically we get about a minute and a half of chasing. And then finally one of the cars manages to overtake the truck that has all of these captured horses in them and just sort of blocks their pathway. Just laterally drives in front of them. The guy working for the ministry just gets out of his front seat, points a gun at the rustlers and then that’s it, they’re caught the primary threat in the episode is done.
Let’s not make this any worse than it is already okay.
Will Riley
We cut to Becky who is just sort of rubbing her temples and frustrated that she’s that she’s the loser in this exchange. And then like, that’s that for that big part for that big chunk of the episode. And this is the last we see of Becky in this entire show. And when I thought about it, I really wanted to talk about the flimsiness of memory, especially in the face of the conventions of TV writing. This is the second time I’ve watched this episode. And in the time between viewings, I unknowingly made up an entire chunk of this episode’s plot from whole cloth in which Becky has like a crisis of conscience gets rid of Kramer gets rid of Dale Wilson, and apologizes or something like that, because in the usual TV script formula, that’s exactly what you would do. She’s the only wrestler who’s referred to by name, it’s shown that her main connection to this life is via the real ringleader, which is the Dale Wilson guy. And she’s the only character who has any sort of extended dialogue with the good guys of the show, and mainly Nicole. And so when you take all of that in succession in your brain, it basically creates an autofill. From there, Becky thinks about what Nicole has to say, you stick in a few close ups of her looking conflicted. And then just before the climax, Becky has enough tells Kramer off and you get a nice triumphal shot of her releasing a pen of wild horses or something like that. None of that happens here. She just gets treated like everyone else. She gets arrested, she sort of goes, Oh God, I’m stuck, I’m going to jail. And then the obvious pathway to a character arc that was loudly shown to us is just loudly foreclosed on. I’ll admit, a lot of that is on me for projecting a whole bunch of standard TV writing structures on to how this episode would be put together. So in both episodes, so far, we’ve seen poachers with a greater moral compass than their peers, or at least they seem capable of feeling some sort of guilt, or know precisely what they are actually doing. Becky here in this episode, and then the poacher who doesn’t point guns at children in episode one, and in fact actively tries to stop people from doing that. But as far as the show giving either of these characters, like even a sniff of an opportunity of redemption, we are now oh for to on that. I couldn’t think of any other time to mention this. But Pat Margolin who plays Becky doesn’t have an acting background. According to my research, she worked as a law enforcement officer in Texas, first as a regular officer, then as a parole officer, then later as a private investigator. Now despite the horses being safe, there’s still a good few minutes in this episode. We are now going on to Grant’s Action section of this episode. And it’s the fight between grant and Kramer, Dale Wilson, which is going to be a lot more complex.
Will Riley
Rent gets the drop on Dale. They chase each other on horseback for a good long while they’re galloping through Parnes. They are using the environment to their advantages. And grant manages to get off the horse like tackle rent into the water and then the suplex happens
Will Riley
now I haven’t really talked about the suplex up till this point, because if I did it would really overtake this in Tire podcast episodes throughout the largest part of the run of danger Bay. The suplex is always in the intro. Dale Wilson here, throws a punch. Grant expertly dodges it grabs Dale Wilson in the center mass of his body, puts him over his shoulder and tosses them into the pond. They’re both standing in. It is beautiful, a perfect display of human dynamism, both forceful and elegant and strong and delicate. Technically, you could call it a shoulder throw, but it is simply too pure to be called that. It is known only as The suplex symbolic of danger Bay the show itself, but also balletic and beautiful in its own right. Donnelly Rhodes, dodging a punch going into a grab in one singular smooth motion, and Dale Wilson, entering the water as gracefully as he entered the sky on the shoulder of Donnelly, it may well be the urtext of Canadian culture. A bronze statue has been built in Capitol Hill in Ottawa dedicated to the suplex it’s over the phone. Every half hour the statues submerges laterally into the fountain to the delight of many tourists. People were originally kind of mad that they took out the National War Memorial to build it, but that doesn’t really happen anymore. I mean, come on, there was a memorial for the Boer War in there. You want to celebrate Canada being part of the Boer War, or do you want to celebrate Donnelly road suplexing a guy into a pond. So in awe of the power of that singular suplex Kramer, Dale Wilson, whichever you prefer, surrenders immediately, or if you never
days or overpower. Now,
Will Riley
as for Dale Wilson, he didn’t get as famous as Donnelly Rhodes despite being involved in the suplex. But he has made his way into people’s minds. In a more subtle way. He is now a very prolific voice actor, and he’s in a lot of dubs for animes and a lot of kids cartoon shows that are never like number one in somebody’s mind, but are in like the number two or three position which makes them way more subtly involved in the way that you remember your childhood Dale Wilson probably has a stamp in your brain and you don’t even know it. Remember, NASCAR racers, Stargate infinity, the animated Stargate show, remember calm the animated series. Remember the teenage protagonists doing a bio merge did evolution with a giant ape? Every episode? He was in the all of the Bionicle movies? He played java in the Martin Mystery Show? Do you remember that one? He was in a lot of TV shows produced by mainframe. I mean, this is a Vancouver show. So I could probably talk about mainframe productions for a very long time particularly reboot, of course, I mean, but he was an action man and he was he in reboot. He was he was Wellman matrix, does that mean anything to you? It kind of means something to me. He was in a very important role, even if it was very brief. Both the ringleader of the wrestlers is caught just as the rest of the rest of wrestlers were caught before and the horses are safe. All that’s left are a few more truly beautiful aerial shots of these wild horses being set free. Nicole and Donnelly look off. Enjoy as these horses finally get to go back to where they will back where they belong. Unfortunately, Joyce is also there, and the camera has to focus on her face while they haven’t actually given her any lines. So she kind of just has to stand there not really knowing what to do with her hands. I feel bad for Joyce Joyce is actually a fairly competent actor, but they’re just making her stare off into the middle distance here. They still don’t know what to do with Joyce, even though she’s a big major named character. We’re going to roll credits now. Yeah, looking back on this episode, I actually really like it. I have ripped on it a little bit because it’s early danger Bay. And I mean, obviously, there isn’t all the dense lore just yet, but it is surprisingly really well put together. I made jokes about Donnelly roads in the first episode, but he has really shown his assault in this one both in terms of having a really touching and tender scene and also of demonstrating his skills as an actor from all the experience that he’s had elsewhere. The interior is a part of British Columbia that I think is really, really beautiful, but you almost never see it on film in the same way, or at least you never see it on film in a way that they admit actually is British Columbia. And I mean, just having the budget to have all of these aerial shots of these horses is very nice. They are using their documentary bone a few days here, in exactly the right way. So what did we learn in this episode? I mean, as far as morals are concerned, it’s pretty straightforward. Apart from the dog food dilemma, though, I mean, intelligent people can respectfully disagree. I think there’s a bit here of the fact that grant is so trusting and believing of Nicole, he’s able to benefit because he actually believes her when she says that there are poachers there. There is a idea of trusting your kids reaping rewards. And then of course, there is just the average environmental overtones that will be in the show all the time. However, what we’ve learned lore wise is obviously a lot more complex here. Number one, we’ve learned that the Vancouver aquariums reach and authority is actually wider than we even saw in episode one, because they’re going deep, deep into the mainland. It’s not just oceans anymore, they’re able to lay down the law on God’s creatures of the land, not just of the sea. Secondly, we’ve learned that the way that poachers process the mind of an innocent child is obviously subverted in some
way you have always rustlers, it’s all the same thing. Whether that
Will Riley
is an issue of nature or nurture is probably up for debate. And thirdly, so far, the opportunities of redemption for any wrongdoer in danger Bay is incredibly unlikely. The modern day version of Jonah is clearly an avatar. That is after all, what the sonic glave is for.
Will Riley
All right, then danger Bay the difficult second album, as they say is finally done. Thank you again for listening. I had a good time talking about this episode. I am really glad that we’re getting to see Donnelly Rhodes really come into his own in this show at this point. As per usual, I’m going to bring up what just happened in the most recent episode of danger Bay. There’s a few other things that happen in this episode, but I’m mostly just going to focus on Nicole here. That’s where the meat of this episode is.
Will Riley
The eyes of Nicole Roberts stir. Sleep comes in frequently ever since she merged her corpus with the mainframe of Amos, the AI being which oversaw the Vancouver aquariums division of military intelligence. She squints as the circuitry in her eyes auto adjust to the neon lights buzzing away outside of LinkedIn. News of the return of the sea urchin God has not yet reached the general populace, but it’s only a matter of time. I picked the wrong time to quit cyber drugs. She narrates staring at a USB drive shaped like a syringe. The lighting turns red as another voice comes over the soundtrack. Digital LSD will not suppress me any further, Nicole, while your unwanted merger with me has forced me to enjoy only joint control over the Aquarium’s more advanced weapons systems. You know as well as I do that they must be utilized as soon as possible. No Nicole flirts rolling the drive between her fingers as it glows and tantalizing blue. I’ve merged with you to keep you from going rogue after the Ambleside incident. I am the sole arbiter of our arsenal of missiles. The poachers must be swiftly punished Nicole, their silence over the last 24 hours makes them more than complicit. Even after they asked us to directly assassinate their own kid, the poacher counsel still won’t condemn him publicly. You know that will never change. As the red lighting of the room grows harsher. The soothing blue of the psychoactive USB rose cooler and cooler. It would be so easy to take your right now, just to put down the voices. Nobody would ever even blame you. Nicole’s face is drenched in sweat. We’re done launching the Scuds again. At Davis, even you know that we can’t afford to escalate conflict not now, Nicole, I’m not asking for anything of the source, a holographic model of a bacterial cell projects in front of her. Look at what the laboratory has been working on. We found a way to make BKD jump from trout to humans. All we would need are a few horses as viral intermediaries just 30 to 50 horses, Nicole a small price to pay. We could just drop them off in the outskirts of poacher territory, and simply let them walk into town. Nobody would even suspect us. Come to think of it. How else would the horses end up among the poachers? Through rustling? Of course. If anything, they’d be the ones to blame not us. The USB port in Nicole’s forehead flips open involuntarily. She is flanked by temptation, both from the drugs and from the embodiment of the aquarium security states. In extreme close up the syringe and the port approach closer and closer. At least this addiction will only destroy her and her alone. The other one will take the rest of the world when suddenly the lighting returns to normal as a video call pings on Nicole’s ocular implants. Nicole, I’m sorry to wake you up. But I need to speak with you and the global Coast Guard about some of my new findings. What the genetically modified orcas and I have discovered is quite worrying. Nicole breathes a sigh of relief doc the computer program which Nicole’s father grant uploaded his consciousness to prior to his death as unwittingly saved her. I’ll be there in a second dad see you in a moment. She drops the digital syringe back on her dresser before telling off the second entity living in her brain. Nice try again. But I’m not escalating this conflict. I emerged with you to prevent this sort of psychotic response. All we need to do is block access to two or three more water reservoirs and that’s it. Nicole leaves the bedroom and enters the rough urban sprawl point gray rug prepared to handle a crisis. But as she accepts the camera zooms ominously on the syringe still lying in wait. The main thing I noticed this episode is just how much the production team has dialed in the AI replication of Grant’s voice. It’s almost as if Donnelly rose never died at all. I kind of think like if Donnelly Rose died like three or four years later, the production team probably wouldn’t even bother with this AI program can seat they just have a 3d model of Donley roads walking around and having talked with this current AI voice. It’s that convincing it’s really amazing what technology can do right now. That’s it for me today. As always check out my twitter I’m at chasm K if k s MKVE Mortal Kombat style. It’s the same on blue sky. Thanks so much for listening to me. As always, danger comes from below. See you next time.
