Guest Mikal C Johnson KtCym ECA Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I recall he was sitting with a guy in a car and gave a short little speech, finishing with, "We're headed for an apocalypse of our own creation." Anyone got details on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elders (Admins) Libby Posted May 10, 2004 Elders (Admins) Share Posted May 10, 2004 It may be 'Bardo Thodol'. From the synopsis on the Abyss: Frank brings the mysterious CD to an FBI technician. He discovers a virus on the CD, one "addressed" to Frank. A short time later, the FBI conducts a briefing on the discovery of the five human hands. Frank takes a special interest in two Kanji characters visible on the back of the Japanese cargo boat. A Japanese agent translates the writing, which reads, "an apocalypse of our own creation." I'll have a better idea when I get round to doing the transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dixon Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Libby's got it. The third season episode "Bardo Thodol" contained the bizarre "We're Headed Toward an Apocalypse of Our Own Creation" motif. Unfortunately, many of the strange details seen in this episode constitute one of the many intricate but unexplained third season plot threads that remain a complete mystery to the show's viewers.

Guest Mikal C Johnson KtCym ECA Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 By any chance do you know the full "speech" that statement appeared in? I remember it being something about sex and pain and something something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elders (Admins) Libby Posted May 11, 2004 Elders (Admins) Share Posted May 11, 2004 Calixar: I've done a quick scan through the episode, but I couldn't find any dialogue along the lines you recall. I'll be working on the transcript in the near future, so maybe I'll find it then. Dix: I've got up to Matryoshka in terms of dialogue only. I'll be handing in my resignation from my job some time this week so I'll shortly have plenty of time to finish up the outstanding transcripts. Still aiming to get them to you by July!

Guest Dixon Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Libby, that's good to hear! Again, I appreciate your dedication. You've certainly got the hang of this, it seems to be going quite swiftly. I'll be following up as quickly as I can as the Abyss episode guide continues to expand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikal C Johnson KtCym ECA Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well, I found my misremembered quote last night, in Loin Like a Hunting Flame. I was getting one quote mixed up with another... seeing the one as a natural extension of the other: Frank: Sex and death commingled. One inseperable impulse. Risk feeds sensation. Sensation makes risk acceptable. We're headed toward... Thomas: Toward what, Frank? Frank: Something, perhaps, we'd do better to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
