Notes on - Evil: Room 320

 

Room 320 notes

Right in to Ben and Kristen arriving at the hospital after David’s attack. It’s interesting how the umbrella ding has become shorthand for ‘We’re just arriving and things begin now.

And Bishop Marx is already at the hospital ahead of them

Kristen knows the detective on the case and he’s an idiot.  Have we met him before?

Ah, Kristen’s cop friend from the exorcism episode

Myra: This is the priest? From your house?

Myra was Dana in Cabin in the Woods. I hadn’t put that together.

I like how unflappable Myra is

Ghana? Why was David saying Ghana

I like how they talk over each other in such a natural way.

Richard Ghana. Not a case we saw I don’t think.

Myra: Description?

Ben: Tall. Caucasion. Looked like, you know, a bad gym teacher.

Kristen: Who’s Judy?

Ben: Oh, she was you... before you.

What happened to Judy then?

So, a possible possession case prior to Kristen. David thought it was possession and Judy didn’t.

David should not be moving like that

Father Douglas. Where did Bishop Marx go?

Turn the crucifix face down and I’ll be there for you. That’s sinister.

Harlan Zephyr – Great name

Harlan’s legs have been amputated

Hospitals are all ridiculously empty in scary shows and movies. They’re not like that at all in real life.

The nurse with the squeaky shoes is their enemy.

Nurse Plague

David can barely use his voice.

Good hook, hearing the squeaky shoes is a warning of danger.

Black patients in hospitals do die at a higher rate. They touched on this in 172 minutes or however many minutes it was

The squeaky shoes are like the jaws theme

She collects their wristbands as trophies

Nurse Linda Bloch

So far this is all standard nursing stuff

Counting down from five transition is well done.

No nurse would let blood spatter stay on their shoes. It’s a bio-hazzard

Nurse Bloch: Good thing you’re not German. I would think you were just saying no.

I don’t think a nurse would be in charge of physical rehab. Certainly not this early.

David said nine and she wrote a two for his pain level

The ball bouncing away down the hallway has a nice Nightmare on Elm Street vibe to it.

It’s Grace Ling!

The Euler triangle again

Grace: David, you have to remember Matthew 13.

David: Why?

Matthew 13, verse 25

The thing that killed Grace even looked a little like Freddy Krueger

Did David really just see Nurse Bloch suffocate Harlan and claim his wristband or is he hallucinating.

JJ. Must be Judy

Judy has lots of cameras. Clearly she’s very afraid of something

Ben: You’re meditating.

Judy: I’m observing the universe.

*** Judy. You’re being a bitch.

What happened to Judy?

OK, Judy and Kristen lapsing into psych speak and leaving Ben behind is adorable.

Coding companies really do ruin their employees’ health for profit

Harlan is still there, so he wasn’t murdered. And he has his legs back. What’s real here?

Harlan is advising him to take control of his medication.

***How do you know if you’re being killed or not?

Harlan’s advising him to pull out his IV. That’s a very bad idea.

David: I don’t understand. Is she real or is she not?

Harlan: Everything is real.

The repeated German joke is creepy now.

Man they’re making squeaking shoes sinister.

OK, the Nurse is openly lying to Kristen and crew now. OK, so she is evil. And now she’s deliberately keeping David too drugged up to talk.

So Daivd was attacked by Richard Ghana from the precious case.

Fun use of how David thinks he’s talking flipping to how he’s really talking.

Nurse plague is definitely up to something bad. What’s going on with Harlan?

And what the hell is up with the mutant people in wetsuits?

Grace Ling again.

David: Is this real?

Grace: No.

Close your eyes and they won’t know you’re here is such a child response to danger.

Chris is being sued by everybody

Chris was Richard Ghana’s roommate.

Rose390 was Richard Ghana’s avatar.

Is Flacca a real drug?

OK, is Harlan really gone now?

Good question. What does that mean?

Again, DO NOT rip out your IV

Nurse Piper seems much nicer

And he’s back on the IV. Why hasn’t Nurse evil gone off shift?

Hospitals do make you feel very vulnerable.

So Rose390 wasn’t Leland but was Richard

Yeah,  Ben, do not use her real daughters name, that’s gross. Also, the hypersexualized girl avater versions of her daughters – SO gross.

Judy: Use Ruth.

Ben: Ruth? What am I, an East Village lesbian?

Heather.  I want to believe Ben’s a big fan of the movie

Ben’s already on top of the voice modulator.

David’s in psych restraints now

Is that Harlan now.

Wait, who’s the old woman now?

They’d never do a co-ed room like that

Must look up what movie clips they’ve been showing

Falling out of bed like that can’t be good for his stitches.

There would be SO many alarms going off at the nurses station by this point

Bloch is so patronizing. And Kristen isn’t going to let this go

Rose390 remains creepy

Nurse Bloch is no match for Kristen when it comes to determination

And now Nurse Bloch is getting what a threat Kristen is

Kristen: You made a mistake.

Nurse Bloch: And what’s that.

Kristen: David didn’t have to tell me anything. You following me? Told me everything.

Nurse Bloch is SO out of her league.

Watching Kurt smack down Nurse Bloch is SO satisfying

So, Rose390 led them to where Richard Ghana really was. That’s tidy

And looky there, Nurse Bloch DID have a collection of trophies – wrist bands from black patients

That was an ubrupt ending
