Yesterday, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
greenygal, ellen_fremedon and I did part of the Art Hop in Takoma Park. The neatest shop we entered was SiTea Spice Boutique -- which is more of a tea shop than a spice shop. They had an amazing assort of blends -- I picked up Sweet Georgia Brown (black with peach), Temple of Gunpowder (green), Chocolate Pillow Mint (green with mint an cacao nibs) and Cacao Pow!! (black with cacao nibs). I passed on Thor's Hammer (black with yerba mate and ginseng) and Mocha Chocolate Bliss (black with coffee beans and cacao nibs), mainly on the grounds that I didn't want to vibrate.
Later,greenygal and I went to see Source Code. I liked it a lot -- the plot moved along well, the main character acted intelligent and had his own motivations besides the ones of his mission, and the iterative nature of his mission made sence.
If you've ever watched Star Trek the Original Series you can follow the plot, so I didn't see why various professional movie reviewers had a hard time with the ending... .
I do wonder what happened to the real Sean -- I fear he was killed by the insertion of Colter into every iteration of the train, which considering the Source Code project didn't think they were 'real' is an understandable thing for them to do, but it's kind of a fridge horror. Actually, this movie is chock full of Fridge Horror.
I figured out Colter was dead the second time he came back and his module was messed up -- the time it was frosted over. It was the difference between the first malfunction, when he perceived there to be hydraulic fluid leaking, and the frost that made me go "oh, the module is his interpretation of his brain dying... so he's mostly dead and that's how they can overlay him over someone who is actually dead. Huh."
Also, I feel bad for last iteration of Christina -- she's going to start a relationship with someone whom she thought she knew, and he is going to (from her perspective) undergo a massive personality shift.

They were also very casual about the parallel reality part- if they're all their own whole universes, it's pretty messed up. I liked it much better if I thought of them as little bubble universes that either popped or rejoined the main universe, but that wasn't so much textual as my choosing something possible that I liked better. Especially since it worked better if we're going to think he actually changed anything, and didn't just shift to a new universe, leaving the original one behind.
Also, as source code gets used again and again, are there just going to be more and more doppleColters wandering around? Because he's still in the source code at the end of the movie, too, because in the ending universe, whether that's the changed original or a new one, it never gets used, so Goodwin never turns off his life support.
