[Netflix] Quoting William Wordsworth, the title itself already indicates the intention of a proposal that uses poetic elements to elaborate metaphysical questions about life and death. It's an interesting and unusual approach, which takes advantage of ambiguity to leave answers up in the air. And it has an excellent animation from the Japanese company Polygon Pictures, focused on warm and cold colors as a contrast.
This was incredibly beautiful and haunting.
This was one of the most beautiful and thought-provoking episodes of LD&R. It had a similar tone to Zima Blue, even though the story was completely different. It instantly became one of my favorites.
Not sure why this is only currently rated at about 69% on here.. I thought it was a pretty great episode
Well, this surely is a trip.
The main character gets trippy as probably does the audience along the way.
It is definitely one of the shorts that focuses more on the visual storytelling than the written one and nothing wrong with that in a format like this.
The visuals were gorgeous and atmospheric and really did set the episode apart from others.
Writing and twist were fine, though not stand outs.
It overall reminded me of a better "Fish Night."
Beautiful.
The ambiguity of it reminds me of one of the sections from World War Z. Spoilers for that ahead (and no the book is nothing like the movie)
It's a tale of a downed pilot in infested territory. She's alone and injured with no base contact. She ends up getting hold of a local radio operator who keeps her sane and going in the right direction etc. When she's back safe though the facts don't add up. There's no record of that operator and the info she knew was technically stuff the pilot already did... So was she real or a survival instinct from within? Just like here, was there a machine? Or was it all a drug addled hallucination. Either way it's stunning and Mackenzie Davis is always a good choice.
one of the greats. this season is going to be my favorite.
This episode was stunning, a beautiful and haunting bit of story that reminded me a bit of Color Out of Space (2019), just in the surreal feeling and the sense of having no control over something so much larger than yourself that you are still a part of. The animation style perfectly suited it, too.
One of best episodes so fa, Really liked It
"Maybe I'm gonna live forever, or maybe this is just one last dream before dying."
Visually beautiful and poetic in its language. I always like it when the show takes a huge leap into metaphysical philosophy.
My favourite of the lot so far.
Aside from its visual appeal and story, the ending when "Martha" contacts earth makes for disturbing uncertainty.
speculation below
The entity wants to "know" humans. This could mean (and I'm leaning heavily into the idea) that Martha's voice is being used like a siren's call to draw others in for assimilation, as Burton's was used to draw Martha in... and likely this is how it will go until all of mankind succumbs to the entity or realises and fights back.
So they’re making at least one sarcastic military episode each season now it seems.

Maybe death, maybe Life...
If there's one thing that we get from this episode, it would be not to mix morphine with amphetamine.
