y'know sometimes fanfiction is just an increasingly convoluted series of setups to make characters sit around and talk about their feelings, and that's ok

Blindspot Season 5 theories...

Spoilers for 5x01!

I appreciated the Reade/Zapata scene we got at the beginning, and it did make the death scene later on have more impact, but the show didn’t need to be SO clear that they’d had sex - especially since it meant warping the timeline of that scene a bit from last season’s finale - unless they’re planning a Tasha pregnancy storyline? We left season 4 with Patterson, Rich, Weller, and Jane all wanting children/wanting more children, and I could be on board with the team raising a baby in a flashforward series finale…

Just rewatched the HTGAWM pilot for old time’s sake and remember when the kids flip a coin about whether to go back and get Sam’s body or just leave it? Now I want the reboot where the coin flips the other way and they just leave the body alone.

Maybe this is the darkest timeline we’ve been watching all along and in that other one Frank and Bonnie and the rest are happy?

Think about how much time he stole from us. I’ll never forgive him for that.

HTGAWM catch-up

Just caught up on the last five episodes, and this show gets so tangled up in its plots sometimes that I’d like to point out:

If Sam knew all along that Frank was his son, and that Frank was being eaten alive with guilt over causing the death of Sam’s unborn son with Annalise (even if Frank didn’t know this was his half-brother-to-be) - Sam then KNOWINGLY ORDERED Frank to kill another half-sibling when he told him to kill Lila. (Frank didn’t know she was pregnant.)

All of that has been true all along about Sam using Frank and his emotions, but now has the added awfulness of both lost babies being Frank’s siblings.

I just...feel like the writers didn’t think this all the way through back to season one. Yes, for the record, Sam was always the bad guy.

Also, as far as Frank killing babies related to Sam - and Frank and Bonnie killing two girls who were best friends - I wrote a fic about this a while ago: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12736242

I love the tiny hand gesture Tasha makes at the end of this sequence before Kurt interrupts. Like, obviously we’re killing this guy.

My uncles pick fights about what’s a bodega and what’s a deli just to make me roll my eyes.

i like how a lot of religion thought goes along the lines “we worship god bc god created us”

and then there’s greek mythology where “god invented humans, the other gods beat the shit out of him”

[something-thrown-in]

saying “you are a burden on society” is just such a weird framing of priorities It’s like saying “wow, think how much better gas mileage your car would get if you weren’t sitting in it” or “think how dry that umbrella would be if you weren’t holding it in between you and the rainstorm”. the things we create? they’re for us. they are meant to carry us. they are meant to protect us. we are meant to hold them up to keep us dry.

Rewatching JAG, including entire seasons I don’t think I ever saw, and despite all the other flaws of season 8 I am REALLY SAD we never got to see Harm tell Mac his brother slept with Singer and then see her just fall down dead laughing.

htgawm theory

Finally caught up! This is probably too random, but what if Maddox is Sam’s son? We know he’s gotten a lot of women pregnant over the years…

Read the last post at first as “uninformed thugs” which...also works.

Leia was my first OTC when I was in middle school in the ‘90s, and I suddenly want all the fics we should have had where she hangs out with Starbuck and the other women pilots because PLEASE INTERNET PLEASE.

Female pilots edited out of the Star Wars movies.
