Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch. 8 Matsuribayashi pt. 31

For some reason, it just occurred to me that outside of those two crashes way back at the start of the chapter I didn’t run into any more issues during the rest of it. Not that I’m complaining the game wasn’t crash happy, just a vague wondering of why the first few hours of the chapter were prone to crashing. Of course, visual novel, don’t really know why it would have significant bugs anyway. Ah, but then I don’t know the first thing about programming, so who the hell knows. I had just as many crashes with Firefox as I had with Matsuribayashi.

A roll of a one (continued)

Thinking about it that is kind of an obvious thing isn’t it? Sure Irie wants to cure Hinamizawa Syndrome, but that really is dependent on the larger research Takano has been doing. Assume C117 does cure the symptoms they’re aware of, there’s always the chance that by curing these symptoms it might make some other unknown symptom significantly worse. You could reasonably argue that even the weapons research Takano has done could tie in to the search for a cure. But then that’s a rather common story trope isn’t it? Government, or the money man just doesn’t see the true value of their research, and so they’re shutting em down.

So Takano will gather up all of her research and samples, and just as she’s about to escape a squad from Tokyo is sent to retrieve the samples, and she winds up shot and dying so she injects herself with a sample, and become a giant clawed monstrosity and kill them. Happens all the time really, and not just in five separate retellings of the same event. There are almost as many games about the destruction of Raccoon City as there are chapters in the mainline Higurashi series. Crazy.

Also, there was a small grammatical error in one of these screenshots. “We we’re.”

I know that this is a government funded research endeavor, but I do wonder if some venture capitalist swooped in and offered to bankroll the research after the government shut them down if they’d be able to just continue from where they left off. Or if since they’re sworn to secrecy if Takano would have to go all the way back to Hifumi’s old research, if she was even allowed to have that much.

Disappointment

Resisting the urge to make the obvious joke.

It’s probably because I’m not a research scientist, but nearly a decade to research a thing sounds like a pretty large amount of time to get results. I’m going with the time scale of roughly a decade because we don’t know exactly when the institute/clinic was set up, but I’m going to assume it was finished around early 1978. There’s circumstantial evidence that the news they’re going to be shut down in three years time was given to them in either late 1982 or early 1983. So they’d in theory still be up and operating in 1986, so it’s kind of surprising they act like they achieved basically nothing in that time.

What a peculiar choice of phrase there. “No matter how hard she pushed herself to act villainous…” Was Tomitake aware of her support of dissecting the dam murderer and Satoko? Or does he just mean villainous in how she has to act cold and unfeeling in these meetings with the bureaucrats and money-men in Tokyo?

I find it kind of funny that while Takano’s life is falling apart Tomitake is just like “but what about me though?” It is a surprisingly realistic writing of a character.

I find this is also a surprisingly realistic look into Takano’s mind. They made a lot of noise about how she thinks that in addition to be an ace researcher she needs to also be a bit of a social butterfly. Yet despite her aspirations on that front you see here that she doesn’t really understand how people function. There are a surprisingly large amount of people who assume they can just study how to act and behave around people, and that they absolutely get it. Yet small human traits just completely fail to register with them. This fragment was a surprisingly humanizing one for the woman who is meant to be an irredeemable monster.

Also I find that this is just a very nice and subtle set up for what is probably the core thesis statement of the chapter, if not the whole series. The idea that you shouldn’t try to shoulder the burden of everything all on your own, and that you should rely on other people to get you through the most impossible of times. It’s subtle now, it will become significantly less subtle before the end.

November 2019 to present. There's about a season and a half worth of really good TV in this speculative fiction series, co-created by Ron Moore (of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and DEEP SPACE NINE fame), Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, which postulates a world where the Soviets beat the U.S. to the moon in 1969 and thus keep the space race running strong for decades afterward. Unfortunately, FOR ALL MANKIND is now in its fourth season, and its smattering of interesting and sometimes stirring moments remain mired in frustratingly erratic pacing (especially in the third season), an aggravating amount of truly shameless melodrama, and character conflicts that are too often driven by contrivance rather than personality.

The strongest moments are near the beginning, where the Soviet landing of a female cosmonaut on the moon triggers a frantic scramble to put an American woman into space — a storyline that also serves as a tribute to real-life pilot Jerrie Cobb (fictionalized as Molly Cobb and played by Sonya Walger, second from left below), who died in 2019 — and the political recriminations about the American space program's supposed timidity snowball into a series of deadly accidents.

If you like movies like THE RIGHT STUFF and APOLLO 13, the premise is hard to resist, but the further the show gets from the period where it begins, the clumsier it gets, and the more facile its simple-minded politics become. (The first season's apologia for Wernher von Braun's use of Nazi slave labor was quite bad enough, but did the second season really need to valorize Ronald Reagan? In what universe was it defensible for the third season to have Don't Ask, Don't Tell invented by a closeted lesbian Republican and her awful closeted beard husband, or to make the show's obvious Melon Usk pastiche a self-made Black billionaire (played by Edi Gathegi) whose family is from Kenya, rather than a wealthy white South African whose popularity and predatory impulses are inseparable from that background? Why does the show's vision of the Soviet Union more closely resemble the 1982 Clint Eastwood techno-thriller FIREFOX than the historical USSR?) The show also never really recovers from the eventual loss of key members of the original ensemble, in particular Gordo and Tracy Stevens (Michael Dorman and Sarah Jones, pictured above center), who depart at the end of the second season.

A central dilemma with FOR ALL MANKIND is that the storyline covers four decades of alternate history, and the terrible pacing and frequent time-skips make it difficult to sustain any kind of emotional connection to the characters. Even if you're really invested in certain characters' relationships, you have to resign yourself to the fact that they may only have one scene together once every 15 or 20 years of story time — and in the meantime, you'll have to put up with a depressing amount of Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) being insufferable to Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall), who has the misfortune of being one of this very white show's only recurring Black characters. The current season, set in the early '00s, is still struggling for a coherent story direction, suggesting the series may be running out of gas.

I dunno — I really liked this show at its outset, but the longer it goes on, the harder it becomes to accept its many flaws, and the current season has repeatedly made me wonder why I'm still bothering.

Old School Spy Fi: The Cold War heats up when Former USAF Major Mitchell Gant (Clint Eastwood) steals an advanced Soviet MiG-31 fighter aircraft as part of a joint British-American operation in 1982′s “Firefox,” based on Craig Thomas’ 1977 novel of the same name.

[usafphantom2]

The cover artwork of the novel Firefox by Craig Thomas depicted a MiG-25, and the plane was described similarly to the MiG-25 in the book.

The Soviet MiG-25 (NATO code-name “Foxbat”) was a high-speed interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft. The aircraft entered service in 1970 and has a top speed of Mach 2.83, powerful radar, and could carry up to four air-to-air missiles.

A capable interceptor, the MiG-25 was widely exported by the Soviet Union.

The MiG-25’s capabilities were not discovered until 1976 when Viktor Belenko, a Soviet MiG-25 pilot, defected to Japan.

Subsequent analysis revealed a simple-yet-functional design with vacuum-tube electronics, two massive turbojet engines, and sparing use of advanced materials such as titanium.

The Soviet government put pressure on Japan, demanding the delivery of the purloined ‘Foxbat’ pronto. Since there were no legal reasons not to, the MiG-25 was returned, in dismantled and crated condition. The Japanese did it on purpose to cover up the ‘surgery’ they and the U.S. intelligence experts had undertaken on the MiG.

However the Soviet experts were quick to find out just how much the West actually knew. When the MiG-25 was returned to the USSR it was determined that the Americans had run the engines and measured the aircraft’s infra-red signature and also made a detailed analysis of the systems and avionics, including the radar, and the structural materials. Not knowing how to operate the equipment, the Americans had damaged some of it and had to make hasty repairs (foreign fuses and resistors were discovered in the radar set).

The incident got the world press going wild with stories about the MiG-25 and U.S. Defence Secretary Schlesinger stated that the new Soviet interceptor was a sufficiently potent weapon to bring about drastic changes to the Western weapons systems and strategies.

Belenko’s defection was also mentioned in the novel Firefox by Craig Thomas, on which Clint Eastwood’s movie is based. According to an interesting post appeared on Quora, in the book there’s a mail conversation (the snail mail kind, since it was published in 1977 and takes place a short time after) in which they discuss Belenko’s defection. Someone argues that the new MiG-31 Firefox is not a big deal, since they already have Belenko’s MiG-25, while someone else argues that the MiG-31 is a completely different beast.

Then, as MiG-31 flies for the first time, NATO has everything in the air to spy on it, and nobody could see anything on the radar. They conclude that the MiG-31 not only is faster than anything and features a revolutionary fire control system controlled by thought, but also is invisible to radar, and that they have to steal one.

And that’s when the book begins in earnest, and also where the movie starts.

Since the defection of Victor Belenko was widely mentioned at the time, the publisher had an unusual large first print run, gambling on the publicity of Belenko’s defection to push up the sales.

In fact Craig Thomas was inspired by the awesome performance of the MiG-25, and then Belenko defected as he was finishing the book and thus included in the letters.

Fun fact: the cover artwork depicted a MiG-25, and the plane was described similarly to the MiG-25 in the book. In the sequel, Firefox Down, the description was more like the MiG-31 in the 1982 movie.

Fun fact 2: The artwork on the Swedish paperback translation of Firefox instead depicted a canard and double-delta aircraft, pretty similar to the Swedish JA-37 Viggen.
