People will be writing essays and analyses on Sinners in its regards to music, African American studies, Native American studies, colonization, religion and spirituality, and the diaspora for DECADES to come. And it’s all deserved because that movie was fucking amazing at touching every single one of those points.

Ryan Coogler, you’ve done it again king 🫶🏾

Rewatching Smallville where Chole and Jimmy get married and….mane, Clark you something else….

Why him and Lois mid dance AND about to kiss and then here come Lana and Clark IMMEDIATELY steps from Lois to Lana. Like Lois IMMEDIATELY knows to take a back seat and walk away. I would grabbed a whole bottle of champagne too if I was Lois. Clark would NEVA get another chance at me….😭😭🥴

Can I say…..I don’t care for the Zeek/Lacey romantic plot…..they keep pushing down on how much of a FAMILY they are….and Ik there are all kinds of found family but……they feel too much like….aw man, I hate myself for saying it but……siblings. I’m getting too much of a sibling vibe from them to root for them…😭😭

[kiarpennington]

Rewatched The Secret Circle for the first time in a long time and….

One: didn’t like it as much as I remember. Halfway thru, the plot split so much that it was kinda exhausting. There were times where the rest of the circle was moving on from being the Scooby gang (like when the girls had a Valentines sleep over) and then there’s Cassie and Adam who can’t take a break for a minute from the supernatural. And Cassie made so many stupid decisions. Ik she’s a teen, but still….😮‍💨🤦🏽‍♀️

Two: age and sex. Faye and Melissa start messing around with Lee and Callum and Diana starts messing around with Grant. These guys obviously look older than them….but the show doesn’t seem to care. Like, we don’t really address what year they’re in but we KNOW they’re high schoolers and these other guys…..don’t seem to be. But even Melissa and Nick having a friends with benefits was……look, don’t mind shows showing older high schoolers doing that but…..c’mon, PUT THESE KIDS IN COLLEGE. I mean they just out here with all types of freedom running around the town at all times of night. At least make it believable by putting them in a school setting that allows that much freedom.

Three: Cassie and Adam’s relationship wasn’t root-able to me. Didn’t root against it, but didn’t root for it. Didn’t really root for any couple like that.

Four: man I did not like how they treated Melissa at first. Glad when they finally started letting her do more, but damn I wish she was on her Bonnie Bennet type ish.

Five: altho the show wasn’t as interesting as I remember, that ending set up some good complexities. My only thing is….Diana, girl screw you🥴

Look, yes, that plot got all over the place before pulling back in. As a viewer, yeah I got tired. And I understand needing a break and wanting to flee for a few. But now Cassie and Diana have flipped with Cassie tryna keep the circle together and Diana wanting to be left alone. But Diana….you started this. You got all the others together and basically bullied us into binding the circle. Cassie tried to push her away for three to four straight episodes but Diana was persistent…….and now you think you can just…..walk away….Sure your world’s crashing…….take a number honey 🥴

Even tho the circle remained strong despite the bind (something Faye of all people had to remind them), I would have liked to see the circle coming back completely when Diana returns as well as Cassie and Diana’s other siblings and dark magic plot line

Boy that was longer than I intended lol. Guess I’ll give it a full ranting then. Overall, 6 1/2-7/10

Rewatching Hart of Dixie again where Lavon and AnnaBeth fake date for that episode and Lemon is just so….ugh….if it had been HER idea to fake date Lavon she woulda been all over it. Just a hater! 😭😭😂

Rewatching the episode of Castle where Ryan goes undercover in the Irish mob and…..the potential story between him and Siobhan….😮‍💨

Look, Ryan is a good guy, a family man who loves his wife, but even when I was younger I saw the missed love opportunity between him and Siobhan. Watching back as an adult……altho that man loves his wife, it was also VERY clear there were some unresolved romantic feelings for Siobhan, especially when he makes mention of his real feelings for her TO her as well as that paused glance between the two in her apartment.

Again, he’s a good family man……but I would’ve loved to see the story between those two😭
