Yesterday in Hollywood a SAG-AFTRA strike was called in support of the screenwriters citing an existential threat to their professions.

Forever at the core of it all is money and recognition mingled with whatever is occurring in the scripts within scripts of a narrative.

There is an overlap between what is going on with the strike - and what we believe is our true reality - playing out against a field of dreams (green screen).

Yesterday I posted about the growing end-time feeling of 'disconnect' people are experiencing as the fibonacci spiral of reality reverses to "0" (Zero) and ACT III of "The Human Experiment in Emotions" draws to a close. Is this all a dream from which we are about to awaken?

"Raymond Reddington (No. 00)" was the title of the two-hour series finale of The Black List which aired Thursday night.

Award-winning performances by actors James Spader, Hisham Tawfiq (Dembe), Harry Lennix and Diego Klattenhoff brought the drama to a close after 10 years.

Dembe provided what amounted to the coda in a memorable performance - tears flowing as he described how Reddington was at peace with death - while a version of the Bob Dylan song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" - from the 1973 movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" about the death of a legendary outlaw - played in the background. Was there ever a question that Reddington was going to die? It was just a matter of where and when ... and definitely his way.

ACT III Faded to Black with Raymond Reddington tempting fate once again - in his game of cat and mouse to cheat death - and going out his way - alone in a field of dreams with his bizarre choice of executioner - a raging bull - as the song "My Way" played in the background. [Bull symbolism includes fertility, protection, sacrifice, and patience.]

I've been a fan of James Spader since he played Dr. Daniel Jackson in the 1994 film Stargate. My how time flies when you step through the 'Stargate' of Syfy action adventure.
