some kacy headcanons while we all collectively suffer

kate has reading glasses, she just hates them. lucy, however, loves them

lucy will always wake up to kiss kate goodbye on surfing days, even if she leaves stupidly early

lucy can cook, but kate’s too cute when she’s bent over a recipe book and weighing even their seasonings down to the milligram

lucy is the big spoon. kate affectionately refers to lucy as her backpack

kate’s favourite flowers are lilies, but lucy’s allergic, so instead lucy’s drawn a few on their fridge-side whiteboard for her

post-it notes around the apartment are common, especially when they’re working different schedules. lucy keeps all of the ones kate leaves for her in a book

kate isn’t really a podcast person, but she likes the fictional drama ones, so they always have a series on the go together (usually when they’re on the balcony, or in the hot tub)

lucy hates cleaning the hot tub, but kate hates it more, so lucy takes one for the team (kate’s on laundry duty to make up for it)

lucy wears all of kate’s comfy clothes. if she’s away from home even for a night she brings one of kate’s t-shirts to sleep in

kate inexplicably insists on keeping her phone lock screen strictly professional, but has a photo of lucy on her desk

Still having Chani feelings, man. Because I think it is actually not that common to see a character (but especially a female character) whose main commitment in life is to a political struggle, and to have that be taken seriously by the narrative. Not painted as naive idealism or a trendy lifestyle choice or something the character eventually leaves behind for "real" commitments like marriage, career or children.

We don't see really anything of Chani's home life in the sietch, but it seems reasonable to infer that the fedaykin are what she's built her life around. The very first thing we learn about her, before we even know her name, is that she's a fighter. This is a core part of her identity.

She falls in love with Paul when he's willing to risk his life beside her as an equal, for a cause that she can't escape but he could walk away from if he chose. The question she asks him is not Do you love me? but Will you always be with me? Will you always be beside me in the struggle, fighting for the same things I am?

And as soon as the answer to that question is no, they're over. There is absolutely no possibility of love overriding that political betrayal, because her love for him is inextricable from coming to trust that he is committed to their liberation and not simply trying to use them. He said over and over again that he didn't want power, and as soon as he reaches out to claim it there is no way they can be together. The worst betrayal isn't watching him choose another woman, it's watching him declare himself emperor and send her own people off to slaughter others when he said he was fighting for their freedom.

So she leaves him, and we're never supposed to see it as anything but justified. There is simply no way she will turn her back on the most important thing in her life for him.

There is something real funny in casting Jodie Foster as a straight woman struggling with a lesbian daughter

Among the three remaining dramas that are all on the bubble, NCIS: Hawai’i is the strongest performer with the best odds to come back, I hear.

Just an year ago, a renewal for Hawai’i would’ve been a no-brainer: it’s part of a storied franchise with solid rating and crossover potential with the mothership series that yielded big ratings in January 2023. But now, CBS already has three other NCIS series already locked for next season: the original series, renewed for Season 22, Sydney, returning for a second season, and the upcoming Young Gibbs prequel NCIS: Origins. There is also the Tony & Ziva NCIS spinoff series greenlighted by Paramount+, making for a crowded NCIS field.

There are strong arguments for keeping Hawai’i. It is currently #12 in linear viewership among all broadcast non-sports shows ahead of such TV staples as ABC’s 9-1-1 and NBC’s Law & Order: SVU and The Voice, and its multi-platform audience also is putting Hawai’i above several CBS dramas that already have been renewed, including FBI: Most Wanted, FBI: International and S.W.A.T.

As CBS Studios President David Stapf said in a recent interview about the NCIS franchise, Hawai’i also is “wholly unique” while being part of the franchise as the first NCIS series with a female lead, Vanessa Lachey, and with its Hawai’i locale. “We were just coming off Hawaii Five-0, a very successful show,” he said of the spinoff’s origins. “People love that setting, it plays well over the globe.”

The counter argument is all about shelf space (or lack thereof) and money. There is financial pressure on corporate level among all traditional media companies to curb spending amid a soft ad market. For CBS parent Paramount, there is the additional element of uncertainty over the company’s future.

Sources expect tough business conversations over NCIS: Hawai’i, which is likely to have to make budget cuts to continue — something most broadcast series are subjected to these days. I hear the best case scenario for the spinoff may be a partial Season 4 of about 13 or so episodes.

A perfect partner doesn’t exist, a right one does. Someone who’ll move mountains with you and go through difficulties without letting each other go.
