I do want ATN though. — Well, no, ATN's off the table, Dad carved it out. — I'm not sure it makes sense and I want it back in. — Why? — I feel like I don't have to say why, do I? It's the original deal. We have the shape.

Succession S04e05

This was the funniest episode. Give this show the Emmy for best drama and Comedy at the same time.

There were so many funny moments. Mostly with everybody panicking about being replaced.

Karl, Frank, and Tom with the socks on the plane

Like look at this picture. It had me rolling.

Logan in a Kilt? Marcia is insane

"Tom of Siobhan"

The whole scene when they are reading the kill list on the plane

Like, there's no way someone could predict what they were going to say next in this scene. It was so funny to me. I'm obsessed.

Now, It's interesting how Roman wants to do what his father wanted, Kendall wants the company to himself and Shiv just wants to win.

So, yes Matsson is right Shiv is more like Logan than the CE-bros.

The first one who learns how to function outside their father's shadow is the one who deserves to be CEO.

Also, I loved Shiv before, but after keeping Karolina and Gerri off the kill list. I love her even more. Beating the fake feminist allegations.

It was bad for Shiv Nation in the last episode, but we are back.

Where did Sonya go?

Spoilers for S04E05 under cut.

Did Sonya say she was going somewhere, or did we just cut to Isobel and Kyle with no explanation?

We’ve got Sonya in pod, Kyle and Isobel celebrating successful surgery, Kyle and Isobel reading family records, Sonya comes out all stabby (fair enough), Sonya talks them through everything, then selfie!Isobel in a new dress and the dance and the kiss.

Where did she go? Are Kyle and Isobel having Dramatic Revelations in her living room while she’s having an early night? (I’m assuming it’s her house, or at least where she is for now while she’s Officially Valenti’ing.)

I’m usually fine with characters just vanishing off between scenes, but I’m entertained by the idea that they’re having High Drama in her living room and she’s just catching up on sleep.

[dontmesswithnoheroin]

ok so im binging 3% because it’s a great Brazilian series and honestly you should watch it too, and there is this beautiful credit song (s04e05 credit scene) which i immediately want to add to my playlist on spotify and so i search for “3% ost” and “3% soundtrack” on spotify and google, but nothing sensible really shows up in the search and this is where my troubles begin. for the past hour i’ve been looking for this song and now i’m just too deep to stop, but im also tired...

the english cc captions i always use on netflix sometimes will give you the title of the song, and this is indeed the case here. however! they simply gave the wrong title. the song:

is groovy and all, and bless the artist’s heart, but it is a remix which only samples the original song that i am looking for. great. i take a minute here to question netflix and their quality standard for captions, then decide i can not simply stop here, the song is good, i want to listen to it on loop until i can’t stand it anymore and nothing’s gonna stop me.

i figure im probably searching in the wrong language. i look up the word soundtrack in Portugese (trilha sonora according to google translate???) and look up spotify playlists “tres por cento trihla sonora”. success! there are many good fan made ones, it seems. so i dive in. the best part about this whole experience is that i realize that Brazilian music slaps my dudes. they always write come to Brazil, but tbh no please Brazil come to Europe. i will pay money for this. anyway, so i decide im gonna find the song by listening to excerpts of the songs on the playlists. although i come across many bops, i dont not recognize my beloved song. i did save the playlist though:

ok so then i remember Portugese captions also exist. i search after the lyrics and finally - FINALLY - i have the song. 

Último Desejo by Noel Rosa

i search it, play it and... it sounds like an old ass song and nothing like the one im looking for. ok it’s a cover. no worries. i go on spotify again and search for ultimo desejo

and of course - of course

it’s one of those songs. the one that has hundreds of covers. and so i go through like the first 20. and man is it an experience. but i find it! i finally get the right fucking song:

I say to myself, now finally you can listen to the whole song. and so i do. the beginning is as i remember it from the series. the scene right before credits is quite gloomy, and so the song has this nostalgic, sad vibe... except for when it transforms the mood completely into upbeat, dance song. im surprised, but i only remember the part they used in the series, which didnt (obviously) express the whole range of the song. in any case, it won me over in the end and landed in my favorites.

satisfied, i came back to the series and played it. the credits played again. and. well. you know what happened.

i got the wrong song. i listened to so many that i forgot how the original sounded like. back to the drawing board.

well, not really. im hella distracted all the time and instead of trying an app to find the tune, i decided to listen to all songs called Ultimo Desejo on spotify. and also look up the lyrics, their english meaning (it’s a love song i think?) and other Brazilian music. anyway, my dive into Ultimo Desejo was the real introduction to how varied and amazing Brazilian music can be. here are some of my personal favorites:

although i must say, they get better after the wall of what seems to be the Portugese Witcher audiobooks:

including but not limited to pearls such as these two:

anyway so after i got sucked out of the hyperfixation again, i ran the song through a tune search app and it had no matches, of course. so i used googles music search and that one disappointed me too. seems like the only way for me to enjoy this song will be rewatching the credits again and again. which you know, is not so bad. but if you are Brazilian and can help me and tell me what song they used, you will be saving my life and sanity. also, I love u.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine s04e05 ‘Halloween IV’

Three (30% of cast).

How many male characters (with names and lines) are there?

Seven.

Positive Content Rating:

Three.

General Episode Quality:

The superior Halloween episode! Arguably the funniest the show has ever been, too. Successful from all angles.

MORE INFO (and potential spoilers) UNDER THE CUT:

Passing the Bechdel:

Amy and Rosa plot together. They hide the plaque later. Rosa and Gina trade a line. Gina and Amy speak too.

Female characters:

Amy Santiago.

Gina Linetti.

Rosa Diaz.

Male characters:

Scully.

Jake Peralta.

Terry Jeffords.

Charles Boyle.

Raymond Holt.

Hitchcock.

Bill.

OTHER NOTES:

Holt’s entrance made me laugh out loud. 

“I will slit you both open from mouth to anus and wear you like jackets.”

We’re two minutes in, Holt is laughing at Jake for suggesting he looks better than a young Al Gore, and he’s on so much comedic fire I can’t handle him.

“Yes Porkchop. Yes.” I laughed out loud again. 

“Bingpot” actual LOL again. 

“Hummus is DUMB.”

“It’s worse than segregation.” “UH-UH.” “Too far?” Still got room for the good shit.

No contest for winner of the best Halloween episode so far. Season five’s Halloween episode is gonna have a heck of a time trying to top this. Granted, a large part of what made this episode DELIGHTFUL was the fact that Andre Braugher did not utter a single un-funny line in the whole thing, the script and his delivery of it was so sharp I never could have predicted it. I LOL’d more times than those acknowledged above, more times in twenty minutes than in most (possibly, all) comedy movies. This was the money, right here.

I might be in a bit of a pickle. People are judging me. Lots of judging.
