God, that was fucking lovely. I really appreciate the thematic movement from a personal story of Pearl's fragility to the larger story about colonization and how we all have to overcome our own issues to come together to defeat the larger issues of the world -- and only when we do that can we be whole. This is just a brilliant, perfect summary of the deeper themes of the show. And you use the repeating motifs around Pearl's character -- the shattered/weeping eye, the Pearlbot, the covered mouth -- so effectively.

Brilliant.

Yay! This is the vid I was telling you about in your kitchen! When it was just a zygote vid.

You summarised exactly what I was trying to get at with this vid so well, what a gratifying comment to read. :D I'm especially glad that you got the point of Pearlbot because I didn't know if it would come through!
