Review For 'Super Dark Times'
Charlie Tahan is awesome in this. I thought I remembered him from other movies but only recognized I am Legend (2007) from his filmography. I discovered though, I am not crazy— he's in some of my favorite series. The new Ozark series, Wayward Pines series and Gotham are all shows I watch excitedly.
Owen Campbell as Josh was also brilliant. The rest of the cast either too young to have done much or just not in things I've seen.
I had to do some questioning after Super Dark Times, feeling quite lost with all the meaning behind it all. I rarely like a slow burn, but somehow this kept me hanging in there. I read an article from some guy who tweeted the director about certain symbolism in this film. Reading this gave me a few answers that appeased my questions but left me with others.
A lot of plot points stay tethered to the guilt and paranoia of the scene that set the ball rolling down a very steep hill. One's ability to untangle the thread is up to the viewer. Those that miss vital points will probably not enjoy this film and while I didn't catch them all, I maintained enough of them so I was still there at the end having enjoyed the bumpy ride.
Like everyone else that enjoyed it, I did love the way it plodded along. Josh's mum, oblivious with love to the possibility that his new mood might be connected with news from the town hit home for me. It's easy for situations and life to take an unpleasant turn, especially as a teenager, not having the life experience to make the right choices. Perhaps it doesn't just apply to teens but to anyone.
I have two small children, both boys. This type of film makes me dread the tightrope they face. That any youth face really. I think of teens like turtles. Heaps get released into the ocean, some make it, some don't. Many comments I see are unhappy with the poor decisions of Josh and Zach, but I think they are mostly right. Most teenagers are idiots.
Like the title, the entire film is dark and moody with some camera shots so detailed there was enough information in them to apply symbolic meanings to them. The opening scene shows a piece of paper flutter through the deer shaped cracked glass to denote that the story has now begun.
The runtime for this movie at 100 minutes is what enables the narrative not to take a nosedive and over-complicate itself like others I watched in 2017 (like The Cure for Wellness) and I expect it takes a special talent to restrain from adding too much or too little to the cinematography to get it right.
This is a film that you could easily watch again, armed with possible answers to unanswered questions or theories floating around the internet. In this instance, I have a spoiler section marked below for just that purpose.
I enjoyed this film. Not too heavy and not too light, it ticks all the boxes and still has me wondering about whether we have seen the last of this story.
I give 'Super Dark Times' 4 packets of dried squid out of 5.
Super Dark Times Explained
The Death of the Deer in Super Dark Times
Having an opening scene so dire and so solemn gets used to provoke the feeling that it will only get worse from here. It sets the tone for the entire film.
Having Alison watch the event unfold with wide eyes as the deer receives a slow death instead of a quick one leads her to have her own emotional awakening.
Is Josh's Brother Dead?
The change in Josh is correlated with the death of Daryl and his mother's portrayal as overly protective. Being overprotective could be a sign that her first-born has died. His mom allows him to stay at home for a length of time. Josh is quick to anger at any questions about his brother. He also takes people into his brother's room, two of which aren't known to him that well. He never says when his brother will be coming home.
Why did he go After Alison?
Josh and Zach look through a yearbook and Alison is someone they are both interested in. Zach mentions hanging out with Alison sparking a flame of jealousy early in the piece from Josh.
When Daryl dies, Zach becomes flooded with guilt and overwhelming emotions that restrict him from responding to Alison the way he would like. Jealousy is re-ignited in Josh and his behavior takes on a new persona. He seemingly has no rationale. The creator's abilities show when Josh is often shot from below after becoming erratic making him look like a villain before he even shows he is one. He becomes somewhat cartoon-like with the sky's reflection in his glasses.
Zach begins to have nightmares and his world of teenage lust for Alison and Josh's sudden strange behavior blur together. It is easy to spot when Josh is dreaming as he is without his red cast.
The Ending of Super Dark Times With Alison
Any explanation you dream up can apply to Josh and Zach's story. Perhaps Josh went to Gaol and Zach moved away with his mom. Alison, was just the love interest to propel Josh and Zach's story right? Seeing the shows she survived, that much is certain. Her scars get shown before she covers them with her hair showing she can keep them hidden and hide her past or put her hair up and show people her past does not define her.
In an interview, the director Kevin Phillips mentioned that we as humans are mostly caught up in our own lives and our own turmoil. We forget that people who pass by have their own story (just as Alison does.) The end scene shows that Alison had things in her life other characters were unaware of that had no bearing on Zach or Josh's story. Life goes on if you choose it to and you have scars to remind you of your past.
Read the Theory Below and Answer the Poll
Theories on Super Dark Times
Is Alison a villain too? Hear me out. One person I talked to suggested as much and I was quick to shoot the theory down. The more I apply this idea to the story, the more evidence I dig up. It's clear Josh acted on his own to kill Daryl and John but was Alison in on it with him? Did she enjoy his dark side?
- Alison sees the police bashing the deer to put it out of its misery and doesn't look away in disgust. Instead her eyes are wide in astonishment.
- Josh is instantly fired up when Zach tells him he and Alison spent time together because they were already together.
- Daryl was universally unpopular. Josh fights Daryl because he took the weed and then gives it away to Alison shortly after. Josh killed Daryl on purpose because he didn't like him. He didn't care about the weed.
- Alison tells Zach, Josh has a crush on her and acts like nothing is going on. She wants Zach anyway, dispite the friendship between him and Josh. Is she doing it for Josh?
- Megan's shown seriously injured, Alison has only superficial cuts to the back of her neck and restrained poorly.
- Not knowing either Josh or Zach's fate leaves it open for a sequel. Alison could say Zach did it.
- The camera shows a boy sitting behind Alison in class while she traces her scars with her fingers. She puts her hair down trying to keep his attention. She can't hide her scars from him, he has already seen them.

In literacy this term the children will be using their imaginations through the chosen text. The text for this term is a secret, the children will need to use their comprehension skills to understand the text they are reading without knowing the title and the images. However, to help your child, you may wish to share imagination techniques to describe an imaginary land, building or setting.
Numeracy will consist of consolidating known number facts within problem solving situations. The children will develop their understanding of investigations through maths and develop their mathematical vocabulary when sharing their findings. This will be done through the TASC wheel, You may want to ask your child what this involves.
Our topic this term is 'Romans' The children will be looking at what the Romans did for us, when they invaded and specific dates on a timeline. You may wish to research this with your child.
In science the children will be looking at what happens to our food and how the digestive system works. RE will be taught by Mrs Davies and Art will be taught by Lena.
Here are some websites for your child to look at. These are fun and will help them with their upcoming learning in school.

Resolved, To study the Scriptures so steadily, constantly, and frequently, as that I may find, and plainly perceive, myself to grow in the knowledge of the same.
Jonathan Edwards
As I've written about in the past, Scripture memorization is a huge challenge for me (and I suspect a good number of others as well); it's something I've wanted to work at for a good long while, but never seemed to make the time. So this year, I'm going for it. I, along with a good number of others, am going to try to memorize the entire book of Philippians by Easter Sunday, 2011.
Why should we memorize Scripture? John Piper offers these encouragements:
Conformity to Christ – Bible memorization has the effect of making our gaze on Jesus steadier and clearer.
Daily Triumph over Sin – as sin lures the body into sinful action, we call to mind a Christ-revealing word of Scripture and slay the temptation with the superior worth and beauty of Christ over what sin offers.
Daily Triumph over Satan – When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness he recited Scripture from memory and put Satan to flight.
Comfort and Counsel for People You Love – When the heart full of god's love can draw on the mind full of god's word, timely blessings flow from the mouth.
Communicating the Gospel to Unbelievers – actual verses of the Bible have their own penetrating power. and when they come from our heart, as well as from the Book, the witness is given that they are precious enough to learn.
Communion with God in the Enjoyment of His Person and Ways – the way we commune with (that is, fellowship with) god is by meditating on his attributes and expressing to him our thanks and admiration and love, and seeking his help to live a life that reflects the value of these attributes.
I'll do my best to give regular update here on my progress. Want to join in? Connect at the Memory Moleskine page, download the resources and get started.

Lowell Palmer Weicker Jr. (/waɪkər/) (born May 16, 1931) is an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, and the 85th Governor of Connecticut. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for President in 1980. Though a member of the Republican Party during his time in Congress, he later left the Republican Party and became one of the few third party candidates to be elected to a state governorship in the United States in recent years, doing so on the ticket of A Connecticut Party. As of 2020[update], Weicker is the last person to have represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate as a Republican.
Early life
Weicker was born in Paris, the son of American parents Mary Hastings (née Bickford) and Lowell Palmer Weicker.[2] His grandfather Theodore Weicker was a German immigrant who co-founded the E. R. Squibb corporation.[3][4] Weicker graduated from the Lawrenceville School (class of 1949), Yale University (1953), and the University of Virginia School of Law (1958).[5] He began his political career after serving in the United States Army between 1953 and 1955, reaching the rank of first lieutenant.[6]
Career in Congress
Weicker served in the Connecticut State House of Representatives from 1963 to 1969 and as First Selectman of Greenwich, Connecticut before winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives, in 1968 as a Republican. Weicker only served one term in the House before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1970. Weicker benefited from a split in the Democratic Party in that election. Two-term incumbent Thomas Dodd ran as an independent after losing the Democratic nomination to Joseph Duffey. Ultimately, Weicker won with 41.7 percent of the vote. Dodd finished third, with 266,500 votes–far exceeding Weicker's 86,600-vote margin over Duffey.
Weicker served in the U.S. Senate for three terms, from 1971 to 1989. He gained national attention for his service on the Senate Watergate Committee, where he became the first Republican senator to call for Richard Nixon's resignation.[7] He recalled: "People in Connecticut were very much behind President Nixon, like the rest of the country. They thought he could do no wrong, and when I was in Connecticut, I would get flipped the bird all the time, whether it was on the streets or in the car, for the role that I was playing. After Watergate was over, then the needle goes all the way the other way, and I've got huge favorability ratings."[8] Proving this, Weicker was convincingly reelected in 1976.
In 1980, he made an unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for president.[9]
Weicker was a liberal voice in an increasingly conservative Republican Party. For instance, in 1986, Americans for Democratic Action rated Weicker as by far the most liberal Republican in the Senate, and gave him a higher rating than Connecticut's other Senator, Democrat Chris Dodd.[10] He was critical of the increasing influence of the Christian right on the party; he described the separation of church and state as "this country's greatest contribution to world civilization",[11] and the party in 2012 as "swung off so far to the right that no moderate could've survived a primary."[8] Weicker voted in favor of the bill establishing Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a federal holiday and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (as well as to override President Reagan's veto).[12][13][14] Weicker voted against the nomination of William Rehnquist as Chief Justice of the United States,[15] as well as the nomination of Robert Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Weicker was a strong advocate for the rights of the disabled during his time in Congress, although he ultimately lost his seat before the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 passed.[16] In later interviews, Weicker identified his work on the Americans with Disabilities Act, funding the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, increasing the funding for the National Institutes of Health, and funding research into AZT as his proudest achievements in the Senate.[17][8]
Weicker's tense relations with establishment Republicans may have roots in receiving strong support from Nixon in his 1970 Senate bid, support repaid in the eyes of his critics by a vehement attack on the White House while serving on the Watergate Committee. Later, his relations with the Bush family soured, and Prescott Bush Jr. (the brother of the then Vice President) made a short-lived bid against Weicker to gain the 1982 Republican Senate nomination.[18] His liberalism increasingly alienated Connecticut Republicans, particularly after an effort to prevent the nomination of conservatives to state office, which resulted in a poor showing during the 1986 local elections, and he was defeated in the 1988 Senate election by Joe Lieberman.[7][11] Lieberman benefited from the support of National Review publisher William F. Buckley Jr., and his brother, former New York Senator James Buckley; William Buckley ran columns in support of Lieberman and circulated bumper stickers with the slogan, "Does Lowell Weicker Make You Sick?".[11]
Weicker's political career appeared to be over after his 1988 defeat, and he became a professor at the George Washington University Law School. However, he entered the 1990 gubernatorial election as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, running as a good government candidate[19] and drawing on his coalition of liberal Republicans, moderate Democrats, and independent voters.[11] The early 1990s recession had hit Connecticut hard, worsened by the fall in revenues from traditional sources such as sales tax and corporation tax, and exacerbating the state's inequality and crime rates.[20] Connecticut politics had a tradition at the time of opposition to a state income tax — one had been implemented in 1971 but rescinded after six weeks under public pressure.[21][11] Weicker initially campaigned on a platform of solving Connecticut's fiscal crisis without implementing an income tax. He won in a three-way race with Republican John G. Rowland and Democrat Bruce Morrison, taking 40% of the vote against Rowland's 37% and Morrison's 20%. Weicker lost Fairfield and New Haven County counties to Rowland, but won eastern Connecticut, drawing especially strong support from the Hartford metro area, where he had been strongly endorsed by the Hartford Courant and by many state employee labor unions. The Los Angeles Times wrote that support from Democrats was credited for Weicker's victory, reflected in Morrison's third-place finish.[7]
After taking office, with a projected $2.4 billion deficit,[22][20] Weicker reversed himself and pushed for the adoption of an income tax, a move that was severely unpopular.[20][11] He stated, "My policy when I came in was no income tax, but that fell apart on the rocks of fiscal fact."[23] Weicker vetoed three budgets that did not contain an income tax, and forced a partial government shutdown, before the General Assembly narrowly passed it in 1991.[21] The 1991 budget set the income tax rate at 6%,[24] lowered the sales tax from 8% to 6% while expanding its base, reduced the corporate tax to 10.5% over two years, and eliminated taxes on capital gains, interest, and dividends.[21][22] It also included $1.2 billion in line-by-line budget cuts,[23] including the elimination of state aid to private and parochial schools, but held the line on social programs.[11] His drastic measures provoked controversy.[20] A huge protest rally in Hartford attracted some 40,000 participants, some of whom cursed at and spat at Governor Weicker.[11][19] The Assembly attempted to pass a measure repealing the broad-based income tax, which he vetoed, and the override of a veto fell one vote short.
Weicker earned lasting criticism for his implementation of the income tax; the conservative Yankee Institute claimed in August 2006 that after fifteen years the income tax had failed to achieve its stated goals.[25] However, he earned national attention for his leadership on the issue, receiving the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage award for taking an unpopular stand, then holding firm.[26] Within two years, the state's budget was in surplus and he was well-regarded among voters.[11] In retirement, he commented, "You've had 19 years to repeal it, and all you've done is spend it."[17][8]
Weicker did not seek re-election as governor in 1994. His last year in office was marked by a controversy over the firing of the state commissioner of motor vehicles, Louis Goldberg.[19] In 2000, he endorsed Senator Bill Bradley (D-NJ) for President. In 2004, Weicker supported former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's (D-VT) presidential bid. He expressed sympathy for the budget struggles of Governor Dannel Malloy, drawing a parallel with his own efforts to remedy a fiscal crisis.[17][8]
In his book Independent Nation (2004), political analyst John Avlon describes Weicker as a radical centrist governor and thinker.[27]
2006 candidacy for U.S. Senator from Connecticut
Lowell Weicker was said to be considering a rematch against Senator Joe Lieberman in the 2006 election cycle. He objected to Lieberman's support for the Iraq War and noted in a New York Times article published on December 6, 2005, "If he's out there scot-free and nobody will do it [run against Senator Lieberman], I'd have to give serious thought to doing it myself, and I don't want to do it."[28]
The Lieberman campaign released an ad that borrowed from one aired during the 1988 Senate race, which depicted Weicker as a hibernating bear ignoring his Senate duties except at election time. In the 2006 ad, Weicker reappeared as a wounded bear while Lieberman's Democratic challenger, Ned Lamont, was depicted as a bear cub sent and directed by Weicker. On June 18, 2006, Weicker held a fundraiser for Lamont and described himself as an "anti-war activist." (Lamont won the primary, but Lieberman, running as an independent with heavy Republican support, maintained his seat in the general election.)[29]
Other activities
In 1996, Weicker joined the Board of Directors for Compuware[30] and still holds this position. In 1999, Weicker became a member of the Board of Directors for the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE), and held this position until 2011.[31] Despite the long professional relationship, Weicker did not end supporting former WWE CEO Linda McMahon in either of her unsuccessful bids for the U.S. Senate in 2010 or 2012.[32]
Weicker served from 2001–2011 as President of the Board of Directors of Trust for America's Health, a Washington, DC-based non-profit, non-partisan health policy research organization, and formerly a member of the Board of Directors of United States Tobacco. Since 2003, Weicker has served on the board of Medallion Financial Corp., a lender to purchasers of taxi medallions in leading cities across the U.S. He was named to the board through his personal and business relationship with Andrew M. Murstein, president of Medallion.[33]
During the 2016 Republican primaries, Weicker wrote an editorial in the Hartford Courant in which he criticized the repudiation of Rockefeller Republicans, the party's alienation of various population groups, and its obstructionist stance in Congress. He stated that the selection of Donald Trump as their presidential candidate "will complete their slow and steady descent into irrelevance."[34]

Lore:Ordinators< Lore: Facções: O(Redirecionado de Lore:Ordinator)
The Ordinators (sometimes called Temple Ordinators) are the holy guards and priest-soldiers of the Tribunal Temple. They are divided into four distinct orders. The Order of the Watch provides guards for temples and shrines, and additionally act as town guards in Temple-owned settlements such as Vivec City. They are responsible with enforcing Temple law, along with Imperial law following the Armistice. The Order of War fights the enemies of the Temple, with most War Ordinators traditionally stationed near Red Mountain to combat the forces of the Sixth House. The Order of the Inquisition identifies and suppresses heresy among priests and laymen within the Temple. The Order of Doctrine and Ordination are militant scholars.[1]
The ranks of the Ordinators are primarily drawn from House Indoril, whose influence can be seen in their distinctive style of armor. They are the rivals of the more light-hearted Buoyant Armigers. All four orders obey the commands of the Alma Rula, stationed in the city of Almalexia. The High Ordinators are the finest and most zealous of the Ordinators, chosen to serve as the protectors of Mournhold. They replaced the Hands of Almalexia and the Order of the Watch as the guards of Mournhold some time after the Alliance War.[2] It is unknown what became of the Ordinators after the rise of the New Temple.[3]
The Indoril armor worn by the Ordinators is forbidden from use by non-Ordinators in certain parts of Morrowind, as they will be marked for death under Temple law.[4] The armor is medium weight, highly protective, usually dark golden, and consists of a distinctive face mask which serves to identify those who wear it as guards.[1] The uniform worn by the High Ordinators is white and blue rather than gold-colored, and matches that worn by the Hands of Almalexia (although without the divine enchantments received by the Hands). When operating in dark conditions, Ordinators don black Night-Raid armor as camouflage.[2]

Maryville is a city in and the county seat of Blount County, Tennessee,[7] and is a suburb of Knoxville. Its population was 27,465 at the 2010 census.[8]
It is included in the Knoxville Metropolitan Area and a short distance from popular tourist destinations such as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge.
When the first white explorers arrived in the area, they found the Great Indian Warpath, which ran along the route where the modern US-411 has been built. The trail was long used by the indigenous peoples of the area. A historic Cherokee village known as "Elajay" was situated at the confluence of Ellejoy Creek (named after the village) and the Little River. Its site was near the modern Heritage High School. Ensign Henry Timberlake passed through the village in 1762 while returning from his expedition to the Overhill villages to the west. He reported that it had been abandoned.[9]
In 1785, Revolutionary War veteran John Craig built a wooden palisade enclosing cabins at what is known as Fort Craig (or Craig's Station) in present-day Maryville. Such stations were built throughout the frontier to defend settlers against attacks from the Cherokee. For example, "on April 11, 1793, when settlers believed Indian attacks were imminent, 280 men, women, and children gathered in small huts at John Craig's station on Nine Mile Creek."[10]
Craig donated 50 acres (20 ha) next to his fort for the founding of a new town. Incorporated as a city on July 11, 1795, the settlement was named in honor of Mary Grainger Blount, wife of the territorial governor William Blount. Blount County was named after him.[11]
The family of Sam Houston moved to Maryville from Virginia in 1808, when Houston was 15. His older brothers put him to work as a clerk in a store they established in town, but he ran away. Houston lived for a few years with the Cherokee at Hiwassee Island, on the Hiwassee River, where he became fluent in their language and appreciative of their culture. After his return to Maryville about 1811, Houston started a one-room schoolhouse. He signed up for the army during the War of 1812 and rose rapidly in rank, beginning his military and political career. The schoolhouse still stands just off US-411 near the community of Wildwood.
Maryville was a center of abolitionist activity throughout the early 19th-century; it was generated mostly by the Society of Friends, which had a relatively large presence in Blount County. They were supported by anti-slavery advocates such as Isaac L. Anderson, the founder of Maryville College.[12] When Tennessee voted on the Ordinance of Secession in 1861, only 19 percent of Blount Countians voted in favor of seceding from the Union.[13]
Although staunchly pro-Union throughout the Civil War, Maryville was not liberated by federal troops until May 1864. In August of that year, a Confederate cavalry raid, under the command of General Joseph Wheeler, attacked the courthouse where the Union troops had taken shelter. To try to dislodge the federal soldiers, Confederates set fire to several buildings, including a store where the city's records were being kept. Polly Tool, an African-American slave, rescued most of the records. She was honored by a statue in the Blount County courthouse. In the Reconstruction Era Maryville became a hub of Radical Republican activity for East Tennessee. Its local Union League provided a lively forum for political discussion,[14] and the Freedmen's Normal Institute was established on the present-day site of Maryville High School. The city elected W. B. Scott, the country's second African-American mayor, in 1869.[15]
In the 1970s, after several department stores and other retailers moved from the downtown area to Alcoa's Midland shopping center, the city spent $10 million on a renewal project called "Now Town". Traffic was re-routed, facades were placed on old buildings, slums were cleared, and the Bicentennial Greenbelt Park was created. The project failed to attract business back to the downtown locations; instead retailers moved to the new Foothills Mall a few years later. The downtown area remained in decline until the 2000s, when the city agreed to reverse many of the "Now Town" changes.
U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander was born in Maryville in 1940. Alexander served as Governor of Tennessee from 1979–1987 and Secretary of Education (1991–1993) under President George H. W. Bush. He ran unsuccessful campaigns for president in 1996 and 2000, both times announcing his candidacy for the Republican Party from his hometown of Maryville. In 2002, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, succeeding Fred Thompson.
On July 2, 2015, a freight train carrying hazardous materials went off of its tracks. Over 5,000 citizens were displaced from their homes within a two-mile (three kilometer) radius.[16][17][18]
Maryville is located in north-central Blount County in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Chilhowee Mountain, the outermost ridge of the Western Smokies, rises prominently to the south. Chilhowee's eastern flank— known locally as "The Three Sisters"— is visible from almost anywhere in the city, and dominates the southern horizon along US-321 between Maryville and Walland. Maryville is bordered on the north by Maryville's twin city, Alcoa. A number of small suburbs— including Wildwood, Ellejoy, and Clover Hill— surround Maryville to the east and west.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 16.8 square miles (43.5 km2), all land.[8]
