There's no earthly way of knowing / Which direction we are going
No, the title of this post does not refer to my life or life in general -although oh yes, it would apply perfectly to my life right now.
But some of you know better ;)
The Wondrous Boat Ride
sung by Gene Wilder
words by Roald Dahl
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing
I like very much the idea of the parallel between Wonka testing his "candidates" (who get eliminated one by one...) in order to find the one who will take his place, and Jacob's candidates.
I also love the way some people have analyzed that almost psychedelic and totally creepy sequence of the movie, finding a few parallels with Lost -one for all, the image of the eye O_°
What I personally did like most, though, was simply the idea of a "wondrous ride".
With only 4 episodes left before the show finale, looking back at the past 5 years, all I can think right now is that any way the show is going to end, I will still be grateful for what has been such a wondrous ride to me.
something I already expressed some time ago, here

This very weird and creepy promo pushed me out of my laziness, something I should have done much earlier, especially for this last season, and especially since SkyTv Italia finally realized that Lost fans are not willing to wait even just 8 days to get the dubbed episode. They had this quite brilliant idea, I have to admit, and decided to air the previous week's episode dubbed in italian, followed by the new episode in the original version with italian subtitles -on Wednesday night, so only 24 hours later than overseas. This I can accept ;)))
I am not really going into deep discussion and theorizing, unless you drag me to it. I've been out of the loop for too long, but I am ready to jump in again if you prompt me.
c'mon, I am challenging you! :DDD
