The Bachelor fans have been a little irritated with nearly every episode of season 21 ending in a "To Be Continued..." cliffhanger. The February 27 episode might end even more abruptly than usual. TV Guide reports that instead of a two-hour episode, The Bachelor will run for just one hour on Monday, February 27 with the second half of the episode to air on March 6.

Get ready for action, excitement, and nonstop "To Be Continued..." memes. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is coming to Toonami this October. Toonami will air the first part of the highly acclaimed series, which has skyrocketed in popularity in the past couple years.
I loved the first couple seasons of the show, and then it got a bit goofy for me. Really what I didn't like is that they changed the ending theme from Yes's "Roundabout" to "Walk Like An Egyptian." Look at these end credits though...it's legendary.
Seriously though, the series has some really entertaining story lines and is worth a watch. I don't want to give away too much, but this is a story that spans generations. It'll be worth your time!

Criminal Minds has set the stage for the season 11 finale with episode 21, "Devil's Backbone," another case of that dreaded "To Be Continued..." When clothing belonging to two missing boys is sent to a serial killer in prison, the Bau must try to get answers out of her. However, that's easier said than done with Antonia, and instead, the team is left wondering why this happened now -- and what could still be coming, given her final message to Hotch.
Here are the key moments from "Devil's Backbone" to keep in mind before the next episode.

Criminal Minds is loving the "To Be Continued..." this season, and what better time to use it than in the penultimate episode of the season, "Devil's Backbone." In the team's final case before the season finale, the profilers must rely on information from a notorious serial killer in prison whose group is likely the UnSub holding two boys captive for two years.
When clothing confirmed to belong to the boys is sent to Antonia Slade (guest star Frances Fisher) in prison, the Bau is brought in to find out what she knows. But to do so, they may have to make a deal with a devilish character -- one that, given the events of the hour and that "To Be Continued..." may come back to haunt them.

The Bachelor did not end on the typical rose ceremony in week 5 of season 20. Instead it ended on a cliffhanger of a "To be continued..." style as Ben stopped Chris Harrison from talking (mercifully) and took Olivia aside. The implication from the cliffhanger is clear, Ben is considering taking away Oliva's rose from the group date and send her packing. Just because that's what The Bachelor wants the audience to think doesn't mean that is what is going to happen, in fact it probably means the exact opposite. This doesn't mean we can't wonder though, is Ben Higgins really about to get rid of Olivia?...

If someone was looking for an episode of The Amazing Race that defined anticlimax, you'd have to point them in the direction of this one. Well, first you'd probably want to ask them why they have such an odd and very specific request, then you'd point them in the direction "Good Old Fashioned Spit in the Face." This episode of The Amazing Race wasn't bad, it was just so unfinished and unexpected (not in a good way). There was a lot of tension built up between the ongoing feud between Team Texas and The Green Team but it amounted to nothing.
The episode itself didn't have a proper ending unless you count a "To Be Continued..." to be satisfying conclusion to a story. If so, you're probably just as weird as the person who wants to know what The Amazing Race episode best defines anticlimax. So hypothetical person, this is...

Secret Cinema has unveiled a short film about its ambitious Back to the Future event earlier this year.
In August, the immersive movie production team created its own version of Hill Valley from the 1985 movie, complete with shops, restaurants and hundreds of actors.
Post by Secret Cinema.
The video shows how actors portrayed Marty McFly and Emmett Brown and carried out stunts while the movie played, while a DeLorean and other drove around the audience members.
Jarvis Cocker makes a brief cameo in the promo, which features classic songs from the film including 'Power of Love' by Huey Lewis & the News.
Secret Cinema also hint at a potential sequel to the project, as the video ends with a 'To Be Continued...' statement in the style of the original films.
The Back to the Future event will be staged in Los Angeles in 2015.

In the first part of this article, we looked at the idea of "What will they become?" and what it represents in terms of the show's commitment to arc-based, character-driven storytelling, as well as applying the question to the character of Coulson. We'll now go on to ask "What will they become?" about each of the show's other five main characters. As before, spoilers for Season 1 follow.
May (Ming-Na Wen)
Season 1 showed us three different sides to Melinda May. The first is Ninja May, an awesome, highly capable Shield operative, who's so concise, efficient, and just plain cool that she's basically a ninja. She's essentially Mulan meets Chuck Norris (because she's played by the same actress as the former, and has a meme-generating quality to rival the latter), and is easily the show's most comic-book character not derived from the comics.

Though he was ostensibly promoting his role in the upcoming Robert Rodriguez sequel "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," Josh Brolin's Reddit Ama on Thursday was delightfully all over the map, with topics ranging from "The Goonies" ("I've never had more fun on a movie") to his disastrous "Thrashin'" audition ("an 18 wheeler ran over it") to the insanity of working with Paul Thomas Anderson ("It felt like swimming in a Ralph Steadman drawing") to that horrible moment on the set of "American Gangster" with Russell Crowe ("I went back to my trailer waiting to be fired"). But mostly he talked about "The Goonies," and god love him for it. Check out the 21 best moments from the spirited, candid and wildly entertaining Q&A below. 1.

Presenting... for the first time ever a Smackdown Companion Podcast
A couple of months ago Joe suggested that we add a podcast segment or more conversation somehow to the Smackdown which by necessity has brief capsules from each panelist. And why not? There is always so much more to discuss after you've watched five Oscar-favored films from any given year.
So for this special tryout episode of the podcast (let us know if we should do it again for 1973) Nathaniel welcomes back the actress Melanie Lynskey, the original creator of the Smackdowns Brian Herrera (aka StinkyLulu), and regular podcast voices Joe Reid and Nick Davis. Our conversation ran long so it's in two segments.

Who needs The View? Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy weren’t letting news of their shock departure from the popular daytime TV show get them down on Thursday, June 26, as they shared a snap of themselves, smiling brightly and posing with McCarthy’s fiance Donny Wahlberg, via Instagram.

Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy won't be seeing each other on The View for much longer, but they're already making time for each other in their personal lives. "Mr @DonnieWahlberg always takes care of his ladies @jennyannmccarthy & me! To be continued... ;O)" Shepherd captioned an Instagram pic of herself with McCarthy and Jenny's fiance, Donnie Wahlberg, apparently taken just moments ago in the wake of news that both ladies will be leaving the morning show. Shepherd was a cohost for seven years, while McCarthy joined the hot-topic squad last September. News that Shepherd was leaving, trailed closely by the rumor that McCarthy was out too, broke this...

Say what you will about how much you hate the "To Be Continued..." end of an episode (trust me, I know how you feel), but at least we knew it was coming. We knew that the Criminal Minds season finale was a two-parter going into "Angels," but, you know what? It doesn't make it any easier.
The only part of the episode that's not about the case is the very beginning, as the team laments on what they're missing out - Blake's husband flew in, Jj and Will were finally getting "adult time" - since Hotch called them in. The Bau then heads to Texas after Sheriff Coleman, who had worked with Cruz before, calls him about murdered prostitutes, the biggest case his town had ever seen, but things get a lot more complicated than the team is prepared for as the pieces come together.

Multi-tasking again. Herewith a new episode of three recurring series: Seasons of Bette, "Introducing..." and Hit Me With Your Best Shot in which I, Nathaniel, refuse to show you Bette Davis's face. For here's a perverse truth: none of my three favorite shots of The Letter (1940) include it.
honorable mention: Leslie recounts her crime
Pt. 1 "Introducing..."
Meet Leslie Crosbee, murderess. We're only one minute into the movie when she unloads six shots purposefully nto the back of one Geoff Hammond who is attempting to escape her house. He doesn't make it beyond the foot of her steps. Her face is a frozen severe mask as she drops the gun. It's Bette Davis's most potent entrance into a movie yet.
Where the hell do you go after your protagonist makes an entrance like that? To her confession, as it turns out. William Wyler, here adapting a play by W. Somerset Maugham,...

1. Aereo case continues: Fox Broadcasting might take the Aereo case all the way to the Supreme Court, according to Variety. Along with other broadcasters, Fox had sought an injunction to shut down Aereo, a service which allows consumers to receive free over-the-air TV. The broadcasters claim that Aereo is infringing on their copyright. "The 2nd circuit’s denial of our request for an ‘en banc’ hearing, while disappointing was not unexpected,” Fox said in a statement. ”We will now review our options and determine the appropriate course of action, which include seeking a hearing in the U.S. Supreme Court and proceeding to a full trial on the merits of the case."

Things got even more "Awkward" for Jenna, just when everything seemed to be going so great with Matty, in the mid-season finale of MTV's teen comedy. He was being the perfect boyfriend, and yet there was something missing for her. Was it really just that he never read her blog, or was Jenna still haunted by the conversation she had with another group that she was out of Matty's league -- at least intellectually?
Whatever it was, Collin came in and started appealing to that intellect, and Jenna found her feelings getting all mixed up. When he confirmed that there was a mutual attraction, it was as if she lost control. It's a teenager thing.
Her timing couldn't have been worse, though. Collin had given her a ride to a party where she was going to meet Matty. Moments after texting Matty that she was out front, she and Collin were locking lips.

Grimm Episode 222
“Goodnight, Sweet Grimm”
Written By: Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt
Directed By: Norberto Barba
Original Airdate: 21 May 2013
In This Episode...
Let’s start in Austria. Frau Pech is mixing up a heinous-looking elixir. She has a bellhop dose Adalind’s room service, then sneaks in when Adalind passes out. Frau Pech draws some spinal fluid from Adalind, then puts it in her elixer (from a box marked “Doppelganger”) and drinks it. This switches the women’s bodies. Pech is now the crumpled woman on the floor, while Adalind is awake and plotting. This only swaps the outward appearance; the woman on the floor is still the one with the fetus. Stefania calls “Adalind” and asks her to meet. She has figured out a way to get her powers back. “Adalind” meets with her, and Stefania lays out the plan. She eats up the details hungrily - then Stefania enacts the plan.

The last we heard from Grimm was the cheeky sign-off Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt closed episode twelve with, "To be continued... Sorry". That was back in November, and thanks to the mysterious workings of Us TV programming (I think they cast bones under full moons to determine the schedules, either that or read animal viscera), it won't be until March that the continuation, er, continues.
We left Nick in possession of half of Captain Renard's secret, and Captain Renard in possession of Nick's magical mystery trailer. Juliette was being driven mad with magical love for Renard, Hank was up-to-speed with all things Wesen, Adalind was causing mischief, and Monroe was largely on the substitute's bench while Rosalee was out of town.

Hmm, how shall I describe my reaction when I read the news that Cher and the Logo network are teaming up on a TV show about '60s Hollywood? Hmmmm. How about: I fell through the floor and into the sky. This is news from a better dimension, people. A richer, greater universe where our queen is a half-breed gypsy tramp who's just like Jesse James and named, uh, Cher. I'm torqued for this show.
More tantalizing yet is we're not sure whether Cher will star in the show or bring any of her personal story to the plot. Luckily, this gives us an opportunity to propose ideas for the program and help egg along the creative process. Here are my five ideas for Cher/Logo collaboration about Hollywood in the swingin' '60s.

Abbie & Ryan, and Josh & Brent caught a bad break by missing their initial plane flight to Moscow,putting them a whopping day and a have behind the other teams! Once the rest of the teams got their next clue, they ran into their detours: "Alphabetize ," or "Synchronize." In the "Alphabetize" detour,the teams had to find four books in a library to get their next clue. In the "Synchronize" detour, the teams had to learn and perform a choreographed swimming...

Brooklyn's Devyn is smitten with Fresh Meat'S Eric ("Big Easy") and vice versa. Devyn tells us that she normally goes for guys "collecting their social security checks" but even though Big Easy still hasn't gone gray and isn't walking with a cane, she's all about him.
Meanwhile, peeved that Vegas even considered breaking the alliance in the last episode, New Orleans wants to get even. New Orleans' Knight tells us that he wants to break Vegas down mentally. San Diego's Frank is also unsure about Vegas' place in the alliance among San Diego, Cancun, Vegas and New Orleans. Trishelle is annoyed that she has to clean up Vegas' mess and tries to make nicey nice with Knight.

Shame is a movie whose trajectory I figured I knew about a third of the way in, that started to surprise me in its last act, and whose final scene, while ambiguous has too much of the feel of those cheesy old "To be continued...?" titles. The "sex addiction-as-purgatory" film features Michael Fassbender as troubled Manhattan dweller Brandon, who spends most of the running time pumping his way through anything moving. His sexual exploits are a combination of charm, daring, and desperation, sometimes all at once, the actual acts typically joyless, soundless affairs with willing if not wholly interested parties. Whether it's the pretty married woman he eyes on the train (the one that got away), the prostitutes he calls up at all hours to...

Above: Ozualdo Ribeiro Candeias’ A margem (The Margin, 1967).
"I will never transmit sanitised ideas, eloquent discourses or plastic images before the garbage (…) Crushed and exploited, the colonized can only invent their own form of suffocation: the scream of protest comes from an abortive ‘mise en scene’ (…) I’ll continue to make an underdeveloped cinema by condition and vocation, barbarian and ours, anticulturalist (…)" —Rogério Sganzerla, The Aesthetics of Garbage
Not even garbage escapes retrospective respectability; what was once reviled by snobby film buffs has now become their new gospel. Subcultural capital (that which is “hip” and “illicit”) is usually outsourced from our business enemies (China, Iran, etc.) or from forgotten episodes of film history. One wonders what will the subject of a retrospective be in 30 or 40 years when the whole globe will have been converted to consumer fundamentalism.

Not even garbage escapes retrospective respectability; what was once reviled by snobby film buffs has now become their new gospel. Subcultural capital (that which is “hip” and “illicit”) is usually outsourced from our business enemies (China, Iran, etc.) or from forgotten episodes of film history. One wonders what will the subject of a retrospective be in 30 or 40 years when the whole globe will have been converted to consumer fundamentalism. Now that our visual economy is funded on total exposure and immediate consumption,...

Why does it take a major character leaving for the intensity and excitement on CSI to be cranked up to 11? I haven't sat with sweaty palms watching this show since Warrick exited in 2008.
CBS has been making sure we knew that Catherine Willows only had two more episodes remaining. Given that Marg Helgenberger has called the show home for more than a decade, I'm glad to see the writers are giving her a complex and emotional send off. But the big question is still how she is going to leave.
Most fans have been thinking that the when Sheriff Liston told Catherine she had put her in for a job in D.C. several episodes back that she would be written out, heading for greener pastures. I certainly thought so, and after the introduction of Agent McQuaid (Grant Show), I had hypothesized that she might even make a love connection...

The "Jersey Shore" crew moved out of their summerhouse for the second time a bit bruised, somewhat more single and having held on to the same amount of cast members that entered the house in the first place.
It was an hour of fights, tears, hook ups and fist pumps - which is basically what we expect from the crew. By the end, the crew was all good - except for the on-again-off-again antics of Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and Ronnie Magro.
Here's our take on the finale in 10 "Oh, ye-ah" moments:
1.) Sammi gets caught (Round 1) - Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino once again proved why he should be known as "The Instigation." He gets in Sammi and Ronnie's business by calling Arvin, the guy who said Sammi invited him to The Shore to hook up. He proceeded to sell her out by telling the guys that they had made out before.

Believe it or not, V, a Quebecker TV network, has ordered a new original filler TV series. This TV series will be called Prozac, a show created by Sophia Borovchyk and Karina Goma. Besides, the show's premiere is scheduled for this fall.
This dramatic comedy was produced by André Rouleau and will be directed by François Bouvier.
It's centred on Philippe, a man in his thirties who succeeded in life. However, he feels that he's reached the end of the road. Through his story, the show focus on Philippe's and his friends's daily life in a no holds barred way. Together, they struggle to find happiness.
For the moment, the casting for the show is underway and V promises that we'll see a "prestigious cast that will know how to convey the audacity and originality of Sophia Borovchyk's et Karina Goma's texts". However, TV critic Richard Therrien hinted that Patrice Robitaille...

In mere hours we'll get one of those "Oh Noz!" moments, the much anticipated tho greatly hated moment when a TV show ends its current run on a high note, where "To Be Continued..." gets flashed on the screen and all of us mark our calendars for the return of the show.
Tonight's case is with Caprica, the unwanted spin-off of BSG, the little show-that-could. Caprica has been a growing treat, cool characters, interesting situations and an alternate world every bit as rich and deep as the lands of Star Wars and Dune, but far more accessible. I didn't think a "Sf Soap" could work. It's been great to be pleasantly surprised by this show.
Ron Moore and David Eicke, the execs behind the series, sat down with the AP to give an update on the first half of the series and a bit of insight into where things are...

Lady GaGa has confirmed that her next video will not be a sequel to her 'Telephone' promo. 'Telephone', which co-stars Beyoncé and sees the pair poison a diner full of people, ends with the message: "To be continued..." as they flee the town in their 'pussy wagon'. It was recently reported that fashion photographer Steven Klein was rumoured to be directing the 23-year-old's next video 'Alejandro'.

While he might pay lip service to the notion that the idea of marrying noir mystique with action movie stylings was something that appealed to him, star Thomas Jane is surely glad that on the back of his hit HBO series Hung, his stock has now risen to the point where he will no longer have to turn out of bed for schlock like this to pay the bills (at least not in the short term anyway). An overcooked 'bring me that suitcase' thriller complete with kingpins and molls, but stopping just short of feather boas and pencil mustaches.
We're going to be generous to Aussie director Russell Mulcahy and say that the noir elements are 'conceptual' in nature and the continuity errors are deliberately ironic. We're struggling to come up with another explanation as to why a helmer with Mulcahy's experience would go to the trouble of decking everyone...

I first became aware of Joshua Grannell and his alter ego, Peaches Christ, on a trip to San Francisco in 2000, maybe 2001? I was dating a guy who had moved down from Sf to Los Angeles, and on one of our many trips up north we took in a screening of Showgirls at the Midnight Mass summer film series. Peaches was the host of the evening, and the show opened with a re-enactment of both the “Goddess” number and the “Nomi F-s Zack in the pool” scene with drag queens (and one drag king playing “Zack.”) I was hooked.
Over the years I would try and catch Midnight Mass screenings whenever I was up in Sf. I found out that Peaches was actually Grannell who was actually a manager at the Bridge, the theater in which the madness took place. Grannell programmed the series, and created unique pre-shows with his drag...

The Dark Knight may have had a lot of things going for it, but it didn't have Taylor Lautner's abs. Aided by a cuh-cuh-crazy gross from midnight shows on Thursday, The Twilight Saga: New Moon absolutely decimated the previous opening day record of $67.2 million set by The Dark Knight, banking $72.7 million from less screens and less theaters. Can it break Knight's all-time opening weekend record, $158.4 million? To be continued...

As I drove up the winding mountain road to Big Bear, CA in the pitch-black night, I wondered, “What’s gay about the Big Bear Horror Film Festival?” Answer: just about everything.
What I didn’t realize before arriving was that a large homo contingent would be in attendance. In fact, there were so many gays in this tiny mountain village, to write “out gay ____” before each name I mention would be a chore. So I’m going to denote all the gay up in Big Bear with a “*”.
The Backstory: Several months ago Bbhf founder Michael Coulombe* pinged me via this blog with some very preliminary info on the fest. Sensing an opportunity to spread my super-important opinions around, I offered myself up as a judge for the festival. Realizing what a publicity juggernaut this blog can be, he immediately said, “Yes!” and I was on board.

One of the great things about going to an international film festival like Spain’s Sitges (see previous Sitges post here) is that it always becomes a case of “old home week.” For example, everywhere I turn here I bump into someone who has been on the “fest circuit” this year, such as filmmakers like Book Of Blood’s John Harrison, Grace’s Paul Solet and shorts writer/director Richard Gale (The Incredibly Slow Murderer With The Extremely Inefficient Weapon) or fest programmers such as Toronto-based Todd Brown or distributors like Stephanie Trepanier, who runs Montreal´s Evocative Films and worked with me on Fantasia for many editions. It really makes you feel comfortable being in foreign lands when you can mingle with old friends no matter where you go.
He’s not the most prolific filmmaker in the world, which is a shame, as the genre films...

Ok, so the events of two nights before are finally coming into focus (see previous entry here). I’m referring to the infamous Karoke party initiated by the Film Festival Mafia and spearheaded by Austin Fantastic Fest’s Tim League and NY Asian fest programmer Mark Walkow, neither of whom had any reservations about getting on stage and belting out a few tunes, even sober. For me, it takes a few of those fishbowl-size drinks before I muster the courage to give the B-52’s “Love Shack” a try. I was going to keep these drunken revelries to myself, but once an incriminating photo of me turned up in the daily Sitges festival newspaper a day later, and various celebrants had secretly videotaped the sordid affair, I had no choice but to come clean. Now I know how David Letterman felt last week.

I begin my first full week at the Sitges film festival (see last entry here) with a leisurely stroll into town. Several vendors hawking horror T-shirts and posters have set up shop outside the fest’s Brigadoon theater (where non-competition and video screenings are free for the locals), serving as a sort of mini-convention.
Two movies are on the agenda today. First up at the plush Auditori Melia is the Belgian/Canadian/French/German co-production Mr. Nobody, an excellent fantasy/quasi-sci-fi film that pretty much defies easy classification and synopsis. Urban Legend’s Jared Leto (never better) stars as a 117-year-old man (in totally convincing old age makeup), who, we are told, is the last mortal man alive on the Earth of 2092, where people now live forever. Gradually, the complexities of his back story are revealed as we experience multiple storylines of at least three different histories the character may have lived.

The Queensland sun beats down and dust blows up from the dirt track when Fango steps onto the first of several locations to witness the filming of the stylish new Australian serial-killer thriller Acolytes (out this week on Anchor Bay DVD following numerous festival appearances over the past year). Virtually entombed in concrete—beneath an overpass that supports a busy highway—one can still hear the traffic, but it’s virtually drowned out by the noise of a fly swarm—perhaps entirely fitting for a film that deals with the stench of rotting corpses and the people who cause them.
Fango freezes just before rounding a corner where a rehearsal is taking place; much shouting stops suddenly, and this writer takes a spot behind the monitors being fed the picture from the Viper camera—the hi-def rig of choice for the likes of David Fincher and Michael Mann. Director Jon Hewitt...

Due to scheduling constraints, I’ve decided to give more of an overview of my Frozen film shoot experience, rather than a day by day log, because if I keep doing it the way I have been, I won’t finish until the sequel is out on DVD. So here goes…
Preproduction continues for another week or so. The production design crew is at the Snow Basin ski resort trying to devise ways to get 35,000 pound cranes and condors up the mountain to where we are going to shoot. One of the major problems being that there are no roads to get them there.
The rest of the crew is in the production office trying to solve the brutal problems of shooting this film practically 50 feet in the air on a chair lift, in arctic conditions on an actual mountain, rather than a heated soundstage using green screen, fake snow...

After I get the key to my room, Adam Green, the director of Frozen, asks me to meet him in the lobby a half hour after I get settled in. I do this “settling in” for fear my father would once again beat me with his heels (I swear to God that man can teleport on a whim, it is terrifying. Dee is on stage in Europe. A bad report card comes in the mail. Dee senses it with his Godlike omnipotence and—Bam! I’m getting strangled with a microphone wire.). When I meet Green in the lobby, there is a motley arsenal of men with him; you can call them the “Death Dealers” (or not, it doesn’t really matter). These guys are Green’s crew. With each of his projects, he tries to have his same team: assistant director Craig Borden, production designer Brian McBryan (a.k.

Raise your hand if you’ve been to Groesbeck, TX. Didn’t think so. Pulling into town the night before we trekked up to Texas Frightmare Weekend, the macabre mecca of orange state horror cons, I suddenly remembered I had a warrant for my arrest in Groesbeck and Mexia respectively. I’d been living in New York for the past year or so and completely forgot the fact that I had been pulled over for speeding last summer on my way out of town. I’m of the philosophy that it’s not really a ticket unless you get written up in the city where you actually reside. There’s a fundamental difference between that and a “road-trip” ticket where honestly I am just tempted to rip it up just after law enforcement has left my rearview. When would I be back this way again, really? Why do they even...

The two-hour series finale of Battlestar Galactica starts off with a magnificient nighttime view of Caprica City. It's too bad the upcoming prequel series Caprica takes place fifty years in the past; I would enjoy seeing what the city was like prior to its destruction by the Cylons. At any rate, this is certainly a bittersweet moment in science fiction history. We don't want it to end, but we certainly want to see the ending... The episode starts off with William Adama and Saul Tigh in a bar. Saul is definitely smashed and tries to convince Adama to have a lap dance from one of the dancers, which he turns down. They talk about the decommissioning ceremony that is planned for Galactica. He finally gives in with a toast, "to retirement!" Of course, he has no idea that his decision to participate is what ultimately saves his life and that...
