- Citações
Viggo: Once there was just men and nature. Then men came bearing crosses.
Viggo: We used to believe that we were the centre of the universe. That the sun and the stars all revolved around us.
Viggo: And we spent the last 500 years since Copernicus in this slow crawl... to where we are now; to this pinnacle of human achievement.
Viggo: Where we finally bent nature to our will. We split the atom. We broke the fabric of reality. That's how far we've come.
Viggo: Now the lights of our cities stretch further than the stars in the sky.
Viggo: But the more perfect society gets... the more psychotic we become. We evolved through brutality.
Viggo: that's why we had teeth and claws. Self preservation was the highest law.
Viggo: But as time went on... the pack began to provide for us... and we abandoned our violent nature.
Viggo: But it never went away. Laid beside us in our sleep. Waiting. And as it waited... we became slaves to the systems we built.
Viggo: Now it's all falling apart.
Viggo: Soon our cities will be washed away by floods. Buried in sand. Burned to the ground.
Viggo: That's why you found me. Because you're no longer blind to all this.
Viggo: When I was in the bureau... I got shot in the head. I lost my eye. My body deteriorated. And I died for three minutes.
Viggo: But when I came back from the other side, everything was clear to me.
Viggo: It was like I'd been given a gift. As the world fractures...
Viggo: Someone...
Viggo: Someone has to be there to protect innocence.

Episode 4 is the first of the series' three strongest entries. Relatively speaking, of course. There's a reason why Nicholas Winding Refn only showed episodes 4 & 5 at the Cannes Film Festival: They're the least-worst paced, the least mind-numbingly repetitive, the least plotless, and the least excruciatingly pretentious. They could almost be considered entertaining. Almost.
Again, it's up to the character actors to divert you from the roboticism of the leads (the latter instructed to act that way our brilliant director). Babs Olusanmokun maintains a strong screen presence as the dark (literally and figuratively) overlord, and William Baldwin gives the best performance as Janey's maybe-not-quite-so-protective dad. William Baldwin. You read that correctly. He gives the best performance. Do you remember William Baldwin ever having given the best performance in ANYthing? No? Me neither. But he does here. Which should give you a hint as to the quality of the rest of the performances. But it's Refn who's at fault here. He obviously has no feel for English dialogue, nor any idea how to coach actors.
Anyway, if you've made it this far, there are two of the better episodes ahead. It's not saying much, I know.
