Eh, I wonder if it's just a different interpretation, but it seems pretty obvious to me. Hamlet's talking about death, and what comes after death, and how nobody know because it's "the undiscovered country" that no one returns from, so he's afraid of what might happen to him after death if he kills himself.
Considering all the Shakespeare references in TOS that they didn't screw up, I'm surprised by this one. *shrugs*
ALSO -- YouTube has some clips up from the newest BBC Hamlet.
I shall imbed the relevant scene here, though the rest can be snooped out on the tubes, or found with (hopeful) ease when it premiers later on in the year on PBS.
*wiggles hand off the horizontal* Ehhh... It's not that Tennant isn't doing a good job, but in truth, Hamlet's not my fave play. I just know a lot about it. My faves are mostly comedies. ^^;
Much Ado About Nothing! A Midsummer Night's Dream! As You Like It! Twelfth Night (although I'd like to rewrite the ending)! Those seem to be my faves. :3
