|

I was watching this chapter on the DVD, and there was a mention that Palmer is Shandala's father. When was this mentioned prior to this? Totally caught me off guard. |

It wasn't mentioned prior to that, it was meant to be a neat little twist in the storyline. _________________ "Well whatever were you aiming at?"

Really? Because the way they talked about it in this chapter, it's like we were told this before. I mean, it's a pretty big revelation to mention just in passing like that. |

I think Raimi how its implied is that Palmer is soley behind all this, so by default Palmer has to be Shandalas father in his theory anyway on how that plans are coming together-- which is why they were there to spy on Palmer in the Strip Joint in 19 and how their stories are connected in 20. So far yet
And here is some more discussion about Chapter 21 I think the last post will be helpful for you _________________ Honor thy error as a hidden intention |

I'd put more flowery language around it, but there you go. It's a situation where the audience knows way more than the characters, and the characters are led down the wrong road.
Raimi sees:
A person whose father is a "powerful man from the West," and who is apparently being used as a pawn by the powerful Palmer.
We see:
Two shadowmen, one of whom is likely Palmer and is being asked to do a favor for the other, and some tantalizing Biocom history about someone else named Lear who travelled the oceans alot.
Raimi sees the front of the mask, we see both sides.

Couch, Couch, Couch. Next you're going to tell us that you didn't see the "Brookes-a-lot" Monty Python-esque karaoke party vid in the quadruple-secret video section on the back of the DVD II re-release either. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be in the same room as you.

Both the Doll Mage and I will have you know that cat tummy is very comfortable on the head.

Sadly, I have no cats with which to test such a wonderful hypothesis.
