Pulp Musicals Episode 4 Spoilers Below the cut !
I have so many thoughts about Samuel’s death and I have to scream them into my blog as is my right !!
First it’s not fair that we started this journey across the wonderful world of Pulp Musicals with Samuel. Our guide, the young man with the pencil, a muse with a heart of gold and the mind of a true artist. But we won’t finish this journey with him, we’ll have to leave him behind, just like those that love him will too.
Second, Rose is the last Stratford now. A family cut down to just one. A mother, father, and brother dying to the senseless cruelty of the world. All this time Rose has been worried about legacy, about her position in society holding her back from making the mark she deeply wishes too. However, on Lincoln Island Rose got given her purpose, and in return her brother was snatched from her. Her writing partner, her baby brother, her everything.
Samuel was the only one who could make his sacrifice. It’s tragically fated, his life intertwined and invaded by Kal. A man afraid he isn’t taking action, a man worried he might be left behind as his friends go on to better things. Samuel took his action, he sacrificed his life for the safety of his family. This is how it ends.
Rose being the older Stratford is haunting me. She was older by mere minutes, then by two weeks. Now she is eternally older, years will pass and along with the steady marching of time Rose will be forced to leave her twin behind in the past. That was her brother, it was her duty as the older Stratford to protect him. She’ll feel like she failed, she never expected to have to confront her baby brother dying to save her. Shouldn’t it have been the other way around?
I commend Matt for making this bold choice. It’s painful, and each time I think of it I cry (I’m literally crying right now typing this) but it’s brilliant. The shift into darkness, with the knowledge we shouldn’t be afraid because this is where the dreaming starts. But what is darkness without our sun? Eternal? Samuel’s fate is tragic in a beautiful way, you can track his mindset and arc and how he reaches this point straight from Planet Earth, 1835 to Samuel and the Sun (Reprise).
