It's a hallmark of bad writing if characters <i>ever</i> say things for no reason other than the metatextual "They had to explain the plot". "As you know your father the king" and all that. Of course, Randall has it even worse, since his characters do <b>nothing but</b> exposit things for no reason.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485877688146484868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-11123609992049911142010-03-21T19:20:46.400-07:002010-03-21T19:20:46.400-07:00Meh, I thought it was okay.

It isn't uncommon for characters in fiction to say seemingly unnecessary things in order to explain the plot. I didn't think that the "you're about to have an idea for a time machine" line was dumb, because it explicated the joke; in other words, the joke wouldn't have been there without that line. (It's arguable whether the joke was there anyway, but that's not my point.)<br /><br />Captcha: FINTION.

Of course, if he just wanted to give himself instant cartoon amnesia instead of committing murder, that makes it even MORE dumb to come out and say "you're about to have an idea for a time machine", but it's not like that would stop Randall.<br /><br />Anyway, on second glance I agree that he probably did kill off his past self, with the bat being all bloody and all. But the scene still seems weird to me because of one question: where did he hide the body?<br /><br />Maybe he sent it off to the future, but he left the bat right there behind the desk. This implies either sloppiness, laziness, or that the girl walked in before he had a chance to fully cover his tracks. But if he had time to hide a fucking body, surely he could find a better hiding space than that for the baseball bat, or at least clean it off. <br /><br />If the body was hastily shoved behind the desk too, just barely out of sight, this might have been funny.Ambivaliciousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-89240548057566701392010-03-20T19:27:37.625-07:002010-03-20T19:27:37.625-07:00Then he would actually have to do work.
