"I liked the way they are telling us the characters' strengths and weakness, and I am looking forward for how this is going to build the trama, but I am afraid of the unorthodox approach contrary to "show, don't tell".
Also, I wonder if Oliver is going to slowly substitute James as the more talented, as he seems to immerse himself more on the characters, and only lack confidence." — Apr 15, 2024 11:32AM

“Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love. This is something else I've discovered for myself very recently. I present it to you as a hypothesis: Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis. And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain.”
