Hammer Into Anvil
The other
evening my wife and I watched 'Hammer Into Anvil,' the last of our favourite
seven episodes. I always think Number 6's retribution is on the rough side. There
has always been a question in the back of my mind, as to whether or not Number
2 actually caused 73's suicide. Yes he was interrogating her at the time, and
that he threatened her with menacing behaviour cannot be denied, But watching
the scene again, it is as I've thought before, 73 doesn't actually jump out of
bed and through the window to her death until she sees Number 6 come busting in the
room! I like the way Number 6 actually goes to the window to look down at the
body on the ground. I like to think that when Number 6 does that, he's thinking
of Cobb who was supposed to have jumped out of a hospital window. This time
Number 6 is just making sure perhaps! Because Number 6 does that, my wife wondered if later Number 6 had discovered
that Cobb was still alive? Now there’s a thought!
Be seeing you
