Sorry for the bad image quality, but I just noticed their FINGERS in this scene!!!! And look at the look they’re giving each other! These two are so lovesick even in the midst of everything that’s happening to them. How can I be normal about them.

i bet rn Willie and Alex are having a full weekend date on different parts of Australia. They're going to the art museums in Melbourne, Sydney and Hobard, so Willie can skate and shout somewhere new, they also will be doing some animal observation bc Alex doesn't believe Tasmanian Devils are real but he's interested on the spiders and the snakes and Willie wants to see a kangaroo. They'll be hitting the beach, Willie claiming they're ghosts and can't get wet or sunburned so he can drag Alex into surfing. No doubt Alex will be looking for their music scene at least once. they'll do some shop(lift) as well bc Willie wants to refill his wardrobe and Alex will get some knickknacks for his friends.
and yeah sounds like a lot to do in just three days but transportation won't be a problem for them.

The 'Enjoying watch you suffer' line in Broadcast has always been hard to pin down; Tim's leg getting broken is the biggest incident in Entry #35, so it's natural to want to tie the two together, but it seems to fit so indelicately into what we know about the timeline of totheark's internal relationship that it almost causes more problems than it resolves. However, even though it's very blink and miss it, Tim does actually manage to stab Alex in the arm before he gets knocked down -- we hear Alex cry out in pain, can see blood on the blade when Jay picks it up, and then in the recovered corrupted footage from that tape that Jay posts as Entry #36 Alex says "I did what I had to... he'd just stabbed me" -- and that injury being what totheark was trying to call attention to, to me, reads a lot more clear and consistent than anything else does

okay so here's my problem with black widow. not necessarily a criticism, because i can see why you might do it deliberately, but it is an approach that i *personally* find less interesting.
early on in the movie yelena says that natasha's training in the red room was based on psychological conditioning, while the next generation (including her) were controlled via scifi chemical means. and that's what we deal with throughout the movie, pretty much exclusively. every single time a widow is exposed to the mind control cure, she immediately chooses to defect.
even antonia, who has every reason to hate natasha, and who is dreykov's own daughter, isn't conflicted about leaving dreykov or about aligning herself with natasha. she doesn't have personal loyalties AND she doesn't have any selfish, messy grudges in the "wrong" direction. and yelena even says that she isn't sure what parts were her and what parts were mind control, but we never see that in action, for her or for anyone else. all the victims just band together flawlessly.
i can see that characters having zero personal loyalty to dreykov can show what kind of person he is and what kind of abuse he subjected them to - pure objectification, not even bothering to manipulate them once he didn't need to any more. and i can see that, once there's a means and a plan in motion, working against dreykov is the rational and self-interested thing for the widows to do.
but... idk. it still just feels a little too tidy to me, somehow. none the widows are really... "bad victims". at least not in a plot-significant way. i kind of wish at least one of them was.
(a few suggested moves for this hypothetical bad victim, even excluding staying loyal to dreykov: trying to control the other widows herself. trying to control or torture dreykov. trying to completely ensure her own freedom and only her own, at the cost of the others' freedom and/or innocent lives. defecting to or allying with another evil organisation for security. amoral wildcard stuff because she has so much repressed rage she just wants to burn everything down. this is just off the top of my head, there must be so many more options.)
