Postmodernism in One Easy Lesson: A TV Clip Like No Other.
June 4, 2008
The scene: a hospital. A vengeance-seeking murderer is dying of cancer. He finds out that he had killed the wrong man. He is afraid of what he is facing next. He wants counsel.
A modern lady comes to counsel him. Job's friends made more sense.
I was cheering for the murderer when it was over.
Without ethics, the modern world disintegrates. The murderer gets it. The comforter doesn't.
The script writer gets it. I hope a majority of the viewers did. (Of course, this scene isn't the end of the show. But this is the heart of the matter.)
