Now something completely different: in The Stand, Kehaar tells Campion about the Big Water. Despite the fact he just spent an entire episode over there, all he can say is that it's very big and made of water.
God, I hated that scene. Not because it was horrible or even an unreasonable outcome, but because it killed any chance for a nice moment of kinship and escapism between two outsiders. I really like the idea of Campion and Kehaar bonding. There didn't even need to be much description from Kehaar explicitly shown, just the implication of it continuing on, rather than the joke they do. Here, I can write a little something to that effect now, pardon it not being totally true to Kehaar's manner of speech.
"No other sight like big water, blue and beautiful and going on forever. The land, it goes on long time, but not like the water. You fly and you fly and you never reach the end ever. Always waves rising and crashing, making bubbles. Is never all quiet, always at night, swish-swish-swish, over and over..."
Then have a shot of Campion shutting his eyes and being happy, if only for a couple hours, instead of being annoyed and having time wasted. I understand why the scene is the way it is, I just think it was a poor, unfulfilling direction in retrospect.
As for an odd thing of my own, I will never forget the scene with Strawberry talking out his problems with a frog in Strawberry Fayre. I dunno, something about that always struck me odd. Sure, we know other animals can talk, but not many other amphibians associate with rabbits, to my memory.
