Alright, let’s talk about this Beacon 23 thingy, episode seven, you know? The one they call “End Transmission”. Sounds fancy, but lemme tell ya, it’s a whole lotta space hullabaloo if you ask me.
So, this fella, Halan, right? Folks thought he up and killed Solomon. But no sirree! Turns out, Solomon was a real piece of work, tryin’ to ditch Halan out in the middle of nowhere. Can you believe it? Just dumpin’ a fella like that. Space is a cold, dark place, you know, not a place to be leavin’ folks behind. That Solomon, he got what he deserved, I reckon.
- Halan didn’t kill nobody.
- Solomon tried to abandon Halan.
- This whole mess led Halan to the Beacon.
Now, this Amboyna ship shows up, wantin’ to dock and all. Big ol’ ship, probably full of more complicated folks like that Solomon. I tell ya, I don’t trust them city slickers, always up to somethin’. They come snoopin’ around, causin’ trouble, just like them crows in my cornfield back home. Always peckin’ where they ain’t supposed to.
And then there’s the Beacon itself. “Most exciting beacon in the galaxy,” they say. Exciting? Looks like a giant tin can to me. But I guess it’s important or somethin’. All these folks flyin’ around, fightin’ over it. Reminds me of that time the neighbors fought over the property line fence. Same kinda fuss, just with more spaceships and less chickens.
This whole episode is about fixin’ what’s broken, I think. Halan’s tryin’ to figure things out, the Amboyna folks are lookin’ for somethin’, and that Beacon just sits there, blinkin’ and buzzin’. It’s like a broken tractor, you gotta tinker with it to get it runnin’ again. Only this tractor is in space, and it’s got a whole heap of drama attached to it.
I heard some folks sayin’ they had to wait two whole weeks for this episode. Two weeks! That’s a long time to be waitin’ for anything. Back in my day, you waited for the crops to grow, and that was it. Now you gotta wait for these space stories, too. Times sure have changed.
Anyways, they say somethin’ about rocks influencin’ Halan. Rocks, huh? Always knew them rocks were trouble. Back home, we had rocks in the field that’d break your plow. Guess they do more than that in space, messin’ with people’s heads and all. It’s a crazy world out there, whether you’re on a farm or in a spaceship, seems like there’s always somethin’ tryin’ to trip you up.
So, that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. Halan didn’t kill nobody, that Solomon fella got what was comin’ to him, and there’s a big ol’ ship with folks pokin’ around the Beacon. And rocks. Don’t forget the rocks. They’re always up to somethin’. It’s all a bit much for an old woman like me, but that’s what I saw and that’s what I’m tellin’ ya.
I reckon folks like to watch these shows to escape their own troubles. You know, pretend they’re out there in space, dealin’ with aliens and whatnot, instead of worryin’ about the bills or the weather. Me? I just like a good story, even if it’s about spaceships and rocks and folks with fancy names.
And that’s it. End Transmission, they call it. Sounds like they’re done talkin’ for now. Maybe next time, they’ll explain what all the fuss is about. But for now, I’m gonna go make myself a cup of tea. This space talk makes my head spin.
This here Beacon 23 ain’t somethin’ I fully grasp, but it sure is somethin’ to get folks talkin’. And talkin’ is good, even if it’s about things that seem far-fetched and strange like space and starships. It’s a whole different world than the one I know, that’s for sure.
