It looks we have to print out a form and mail it? That must be why I never did it before, I don't have a printer so I'll have to go pay 10 cents and print it at the library tomorrow.

I did apply but as I'm in the UK, I'm not getting my hopes up. Still, it's nice to see a couple of extracts from the script, and hopefully a couple more will find their way online. i got mine today too. the book i got was Scenes From Village Life by Amos Oz. i wonder, could this club be selective enough that only 13 people got packages—one copy of each of his favorite 2015 books? also, i apparently got the short end of the script chopping. the sheet is blank except for a (CONT'D) in the bottom right corner  I had actually assumed the club was for 13 members ever since the announcement (1 per book, as you say), and if each package contains a different part of the script then I'm pretty sure there won't be more than 13. Also, I have to say that I find it hilarious that you got nothing but the word "CONT'D". It reminds me of the Baudelaires getting their hands on bits of the Quagmire notebooks in TVV, only to find in THH that most of it is utterly useless. |

Yeah I think copies are cheaper at the university here too, but I live half a block from the library and about a mile away from the university.

Today I got a book club thingee in the mail. (I'm in the UK, which could give hope to any non-US applicants.) Sorry for the poor image quality - I've not taken pictures of the stuff everyone in the club got ( A Poet's Poem and Zyzzyva):  (A copy of "Private Life" by Josep Maria de Sagarra)  (Part of the Netflix script) I don't think the script is readable from that image; it says: |

More characterisation for Edgar and Albert too, huh? And yet they got their names right. Hmm. Incidentally, I presume the vocabulary question to be contextual in this instance, as both Klaus and Edgar are right, but Klaus's interjection is presented as a correction; I'm guessing they're at the dinner table. It's kind of an odd exchange; normally you would expect Klaus to have the more complex definition.

The inspiration is obviously The joke is at Edgar's expense, because quite clearly his definition is wrong in context ("pale string beans", "horrified potatoes"), but I do agree that it's unusual, because I wouldn't have expected Edgar to have known that meaning of the word - I can hardly think of anyone more dimwitted in the series than the Poe family. |

I was inaccurate about not being accepted into the book club- liamfindlay.tumblr.com/post/141894779524/more-mail-from-mr-handler-i-have-been-kindlyI'm incredibly pleased with the description that I got on my script, let alone at being accepted. In regards to Polly, I wonder if they've replaced her with Eleanora in this scene because she may have a greater presence in the plot later on. She has more relevance than Polly, so it'd make sense in terms of concise storytelling to have her instead. |

I hope they keep both Polly and Eleanor.
Btw I always interpreted Polly Poe as a refer to polyps and Mr. Poe's cough/throat problems. In Spanish the word for polyp is "polipo", particularly similar (phonetically talking) to Polly Poe's pronunciation.

Your script excerpt helps to put the definition scene in context, Pevalwen. Neo Edgar sounds like the sort of person who'd know more about going pale with horror than he would about boiling, and while it's curious that Edgar is such a blatant Poe reference while Albert's occupation is nothing of the kind, I guess Albert was always the sibling not actually named after Edgar Allan Poe. I am amused by the perhaps (and then again perhaps not) improbable image of him wearing a football helmet at dinner whilst being otherwise dressed normally. Regarding Eleanora and Polly, while it's true that we can't really determine anything for certain from the fragments we have, the context does suggest to me that we're looking at a simple renaming. SetnicK's excerpt reads more like the newspaper headline is news to Eleanora, which you wouldn't expect to be the case for the editor of that newspaper, while Mr. Poe's reference to her as "dearest" feels like the sort of affectionate moniker more likely to be applied to a partner than a sibling (though I'm aware that this is the ASoUE fandom and people may need reminding of the difference sometimes). |
