TSCC官方部落格在第二季上映前例的五條須知

TSCC官方部落格在第二季上映前例的五條須知：


5. Samson and Delilah were the Brangelina of the Bible.

首先，Brangelina這個詞很有意思，Bragelina是因好萊塢超級巨星Brad Pitt和Angelina Jolie的戀愛而產生的合成詞，成為2005年世界第二紅的新詞條，於是順理成章的這個詞也就代表了某種愛情（觀）。

這裡大致就是說「Samson & Delilah之戀可以說是聖經中的Brangelina戀」。

《聖經·士師傳》中Samson and Delilah的故事大致是這樣：

上帝賜Samson神力，令其以一驢骨便能擊敗千人，但這樣的男人在遇上Delilah這樣的女子後，受其迷惑背叛而落入仇人之手，並被斷髮刨目（上帝曾對Samson說，頭髮是他的力量之源），受盡侮辱。當Delilah再次見到Samson時，方知自己被利用而後悔莫及。上帝感其悔意與誠意，再次賜予Samson神力，最後Samson和Delilah與仇人同歸於盡。

所以 "Samson and Delilah" 可以作「背叛之戀」來理解，這即使用在 "Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie" 的事例上也不算是很離題。

以 "Samson and Delilah" 為題材的電影有多部，最為出名的便是1949年Cecil B. DeMille執導的版本，中譯名為《霸王妖姬》，這是耗資巨大、場景奢華的彩色歷史劇時代開端的里程碑之作。本作榮獲1950年第23屆奧斯卡最佳彩色片藝術指導和最佳彩色片服裝設計。

"Samson and Delilah"，作為TSCC第二季首集的片名以及第二季揭幕曲名，寓意不言而喻，直接影射了反叛軍頭子John Connor與終結者Cameron 菲利普（這名字...TSCC是不是受過PHILIPS的贊助）這段「人機戀」發展的可能性，以及過程中隨時的不可承受背叛之重。

（在這裡實在要讚賞一下Cameron的飾演者Summer Glau同學在S201中的表現，看來這天生就有點木訥感的姑娘演機器人果然是相當的合適。）


4. Shirley Manson is so the new Johnny Cash.

在上一季TSCC Season Finale "What He Beheld" 中出現過Johnny Cash的一曲"The Man Comes Around"，而這次Season Premiere開幕的歌曲，就是前面提到的"Samson and Delilah"，演唱者為Shirley Manson，以此作為對應。

Johnny Cash這位2003年去逝的鄉村搖滾大拿，詳細請見：

Shirley Manson這位四十好幾的大媽級人物，除了獻唱外，還挑了新一季中的反派大樑——於是，T-1000終於出現了！！！

(另及，官方的說法，據說Shirley Manson飾演的Catherine Weaver其實是T1000特別版——T1001……)

"Samson and Delilah"作曲者為三十多年前去逝的Reverend Gary Davis，TSCC的配樂師Bear McCreary（也是BSG的配樂）此次對該曲進行的重新編曲。McCreary對此道簡直輕車熟路，Battlestar Galactica 第四季Season Finale的All Along the Watchtower，就是小熊同志對Bob Dylan的重演繹。

不過在官方BLOG中按照Josh Friedman的說詞是：

When you watch the opening act you will of course note that it is not Bruce Springsteen singing the song but the lovely and ridiculously talented Shirley Manson with a new version of the song composed by the lovely and ridiculously talented Bear McCreary.

Josh Friedman的口氣也實在是非常的lovely非常的ridiculously——總之，這首"Samson and Delilah"到底是新是舊還是舊瓶新裝，還得有才之士來辨認，我一文盲就不在此妄下斷論了。

以下摘錄的就是在TSCC執行製片Josh Friedman的提議下才得以讓我們見到的這首插曲的歌詞，歌詞就是把"Samson and Delilah"的故事重新復習了一遍：

"Samson and Delilah"

Composed by the Rev. Gary Davis.？
Performed by Shirley Manson
Arranged and Produced by Bear McCreary.

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I'd burn this whole building down.

Delilah was a woman she was fine and fair,
She had good looks and coal black hair,
Delilah she gained ground on Samson's mind,
When he saw this woman she looked so fine,
Delilah she climbed up on Samson's knee,
Said Tell me where your strength lies if you please,
Then she spoke so kind and she talked so fair,
Until Samson said "Delilah Cut off my hair".

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I'd burn this building down.

We've all read about old Samson as far back as birth,
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth,
One day while Samson's walking walking along,
Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone,
And he stretched out his arms and his chains broke like thread,
When he got to move ten thousand men was dead.

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I'd burn this whole building down.

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I'd burn this building down.

Now Samson and the lion got entwined in a fight,
And Samson he jumped up and took on the lion's might,
You will know just how a lion would kill a man with his paws,
Well Samson got his hands up 'round that lion's jaws,
And he ripped the beast and killed him dead,
And the bees made honey in the lion's head.

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I'd burn this whole building down.

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I'd burn this building down.

If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
I'd burn this whole building down.


3. Six vehicles were completely destroyed in the making of this episode!

有六輛車子在S201這集的拍攝過程中被人工毀滅...有幾輛還是吉普...真燒錢...FOX真大款


2. Famous last words: 「We』ll see…」

詹姆士 Ellison：I'll never do the devil's work.
Cromartie：We'll see…

——我永不為惡魔效勞。
——我們等著瞧……

這是S201最後終結者與被放大假的FBI探員之間的一段對話。之前Cromartie放了詹姆士 Ellison一馬。這段對話比較銷魂。同時這也預告了詹姆士和Cromartie在第二季中可能形成的某種關係，對手，但也不排除詹姆士會加入反派的陣營。

關於兩人的更複雜關係，相信同人女們將大有作為。


1. Use the bathroom before the show starts.

友情提醒：觀看此片前先沖個涼。

言外之意是此片非常火爆。

不過，我的感覺是，TSCC其它都尚可，就是動作場面弱了點，不能令人形成某種明快的節奏感，讓人印象深刻。這方面我馬上想到的例子是渡邊信一郎的《Cowboy Bebop》，能達到那種程度，即使成不了經典，也肯定會更加的賞心悅目。


PS.最後再次大力推薦插曲"Samson and Delilah"，不出意外的話此曲將收錄於TSCC第一張OST中。
