Second part of the episode about Kubrick's unrealised films. Once I've presented all the 60 projects that Kubrick considered, we can analyse them and see how they reveal several unique characteristics of Kubrick's cinema, included one essential ingredient. Thanks for watching.

Sure, Frank goes hunting for the Russian that set up Amy and her friends for death and there's a good fight scene, but a lot of this episode is a continuation of Billy's (and Krista's) boring story.

What if...
...Jonny at some point left, finding himself on a small asteroid. Backwater, some may call it.
What if at some point he had sustained an injury, perhaps to the eye.
What if he opened a bar, tempting fate for that fight he knew would end him. A bar that grew in size, until it was a casino as well.
What if he became known in this community, the establishment being known for its cards, for its one eyed owner with a name that started with a J. Was it James? Jack?
What if he met a young man at this bar, a man he knew. All at once he knew what he had to do.
What if he sent this young man, this boy out to do some tasks for him. Paying off his father's debts, Jonny tells this boy.
What if the boy returns one day with a coldness in his eye and a ticking in his heart. Jonny tells him it's for the best, parroting the words he was told so long ago.
What if he understands, all those centuries ago, the words said to him. It was for the best, for those lifetimes of adventure, for his crew, his family.
What if the boy can't see it in this moment. It dosen't matter anymore, Jonny's already played his part. He is shot, not that the bullet would kill him, not yet.
What if the bar burns around him, a falling piece of wooden beam peircing his heart. He can feel it in his bones, this is it.
What if, in his last moment, Jonny smells the smoke and thinks of Ashes. Remembers Tim as the smoke stings his eyes. Wonders if this lightness within him is what Raphaella felt when flying.
What if Jonny laughs, anger and joy and sorrow and humor and disbelif and relief all rolled into one. This backwater asteroid, where Jonny Vangelis D'ville ends his tale.
A backwater asterioid.
His beginning, and his end, all in the very same moment.
What if?
