Backstory 72: Got to Get You Onto My Knife

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

That’s a knife? I guess that could be knife; I’d have called it a short sword myself, even with the squarish shape it looks like it has. It’s almost as long as his forearm!

Val lost her gun? Whelp, she’s dead real soon then. The only question now is if she’ll get shot and try to blow the bridge up in response or if she’ll blow it up to try and get the droids as well. Dang it Jim, this is another reason why foreshadowing that heavy is a pain. Now I’m just trying to guess how Val will end up dead rather than survive somehow.

Hey wait a minute, where’s that cable Nest is cutting going to? It looks like there’s one next to Beckett which would need to be connected to the hauler to stay at that angle. But then the vertical cable would also need to be connected to the hauler to stay at its current angle! Hmmmm. I might be missing the context from the lack of motion, but I also can’t help but feel that this might be an oversight of some kind as well.

Transcript

Jim: Beckett leapt back to the coaxium car to stop Enfys Nest from cutting the cables.
[SFX]: kzzzt!
Jim: With both pistols gone, he pulled a switchblade knife.
[SFX]: snap!
Beckett: Awesome. Some sort of monomolecular edged vibroknife, that cuts through hardened steel like butter?
Jim: No, just a regular knife.
[SFX]: kzzzt!
Beckett: Against that electroripper thing??
Jim: Meanwhile, Val was having trouble with the Vipers.
[SFX]: whu... whu... whu...
[SFX]: Pow! Boom!
Jim: One shot the gun out of her hand!
[SFX]: Pow!
Val: Dang!
[SFX]: Pow! Pow!
Beckett: Ha! At least I have a knife.
