Play-By-Play Commentary

Sunrise

I say to you today, my friends, that Anderson has a dream that on the Flatland plain the mountains and teepees will sit down together in the same plane of brotherhood. Or something like that. After a flurry of (passive) aggression between the two promised cooperators, Anderson has offered up an olive branch.

Anderson didn't quite take Harrington's bait and, in this commentator's mind, backed off a little. I would have liked to see a more drastically shifting scene. On the plus side, several items have made a return. Our teepee friend has a new terror to contend with...a bird atop his structure. He's also situated on an angle to everyone else. He has escaped the plane. Anderson's fish have some water to swim in finally. And in a nod to the serve, the billboard is showing up where we started. I do love Anderson's play with the time factor.

P.S. From the forums: "Now I understand: this match is a Kevin Costner's nightmare. 'Dances with Wolves' 'Waterworld' the explosions of 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'".

Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Jason Kottke.
