Time
Force - Episodes 30 - Destiny Defeated (Yaoi style) |
|
His hopes for the
future shattered, Eric and his birds are LEAVING!!
|
|
|
A very
symbolic gesture, might I add. If we take the pair of birds to
represent the relationship between Eric and Wes, his desire to
hold onto it is very telling.
Enter
little girl!
|
 
|
| GIRL: |
"Where
are you guys going?" |
| ERIC: |
"We're,
um... going away for a while..." |
| GIRL: |
"How
long?" |
| ERIC: |
"Maybe
a long time." |
The little
girl is very sad.
|
|
| ERIC: |
"Come
here, how about you take care of them?" |
| GIRL: |
"Sure!" |
If we take the
little girl to represent the fruits of Eric and Wes' love, then
his entrusting of their relationship - his birds - to her is
highly symbolic as well. On the one hand, he is leaving his heart
in a safe place. On the other hand, he is giving up.
|
 
|
|
GIRL: "I'll miss
you!"
Eric gets into a taxi and
rides off, but his angsty resolve doesn't last long.
|
 
|
As soon as he sees that Wes is
in trouble, he comes out to help them.
| ERIC: |
"Looks
like I got here just in time! Quantasaurus Rex,
online!!" |
| WES: |
"Q-Rex
- perfect!... Eric, hold on!!" |
|
 
|
|
Wes' Megazord runs to catch
up to the Quantasaurus Rex and mounts it from behind!!
|
|
|
ERIC: "Wes! What
do you think you're doing to the Q-Rex?!"
Darling, if you still gotta ask,
you don't wanna know...
|
|
| WES: |
"Trust
me, I've got a crazy idea!" |
| TRIP: |
"Well,
what is it?" |
| KATIE: |
"Whatever
it is, we're with you, Wes!" |
| WES: |
"Thanks,
guys." |
Uhh... did Wes just
come out of the closet in front of his whole team?? |
 
|
OMG..... XD
| KATIE: |
"What
is this maneuver??" |
| TRIP: |
"I
don't know, I've never seen it before but...
I'm behind Wes
all the way!" |
| JEN: |
"Me
too!" |
| LUCAS: |
"it's
unanimous!" |
Wes rides
the Q-Rex all the way to the giant robot like a knight on horseback
and executes a magnificently dramatic slash! This is the closest Wes and Eric
come to "merging" their Megazords, so there you have it
- it was the power of LOVE that defeated the giant robot thing!
|
|
|
The debate on who gets to
be on top in this relationship, Eric or Wes, is a heated one to be
sure.
I take a superficially straightforward approach: Wes' Megazord was literally on TOP of
Eric's!
|
 
|
|
Any
determination Eric had to leave had completely dissolved after
Wes' dashing "maneuver." He just can't stay away! When
Wes runs off after the battle to check on his father, Eric pulls
up in front of him.
ERIC:
"Get in!... I'll give you a ride."
They have each
just faced their greatest fears - Wes being stuck in a suit as
company head for the rest of his life, Eric being stripped of his
power and cast back into the gutter - and they had nothing left to
lose but each other. Their minds were finally in sync. They had to
check on Wes' father, the one person who could guarantee their
future together.

|
Turns out Mr. Collins is alive
and well (thanks to Alex).
| MR.COLLINS: |
"I
heard you took my place at the company while I was away. I
can't tell you how much that meant to me but, son, I don't
want you to be a businessman for my sake! Your place is
with the Rangers." |
It would also seem he had a
change of heart, which bodes well for everyone.
