loloteheSo I was reading this article that Dan sent me, and then synchronicity let me read this article, and I got very worried about one of the scenes in the scripts.
Becca has no idea what Evie is talking about. Even when Evie tries to explain it, it's obvious that Becca does not have the background that would allow her to understand it. So I was thinking about when Evie figures it out.
She never explains it to Becca.
Becca is the eyes and ears for the audience. Evie explaining anything to her is Evie explaining to the audience what's going on. But Becca's at a loss, so Evie feels no need to explain anything more to Becca. I guess? I think the scene is important because it helps to establish that level of the relationship, so Becca (and audience) can be kept in the dark a bit. It still makes me nervous.
And it's not skepticism that does that, it's just a lack of education in that field.
What I find the most odd in the book, Becca and Evie have the highest levels of education. I don't know why it was important that the two main characters be a doctor and an engineer, but there it is.
