NAMI HAS TAKEN ACTION!!! LETSGOOOOO

With the conclusion to Law and Kidd’s battle against Big Mom soon approaching, I went back to watch the episode where it begins. Came away with some quality screenshots of these sillies, and was reminded of a legit haunting imagined(though still visceral) sequence of Okobore Town being burned down.

One Piece - episode 1031

im actually sobbing over this episode simply coz usopp and nami got a lot of screen time. usopp owned this episode for sure.

also want to be sandwiched between them so bad i want to be held by them both when is it my turn🧎‍♂️

this was single handedly the best moment they’re so funny i don’t care how old the gag gets with these two being the ‘scaredy cats’ if it means i get more of them being dumbasses who always cling to each other. i’ll eat it up every time!

also he looked so good this episode i missed him sm i’m so glad they’re back. first episode in which i’m caught up couldn’t have been more made for me 🫶

baekhong lost their baby and they never addressed it and baekhong have not moved past it since they use 1031 everywhere and we are at episode 16 and it probably won't ever get addressed because we need to watch cars hitting people and contrived memory loss instead

Who doesn't love a good Shuttlebay?

Almost always bigger on the inside, they fit whatever the plot needs💕

Here's where it all started, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from the OG Star Trek series.

Here's the 1701-A from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Insanely enough, the set was originally the palace from Coming to America. This is the only time a full size shuttlebay has been a practical set.

The Next Gen Enterprise-D had an enormous main shuttlebay designed. Enormous and majestic and WAY too expensive to depict, so we only ever saw little secondary bays in the neck of the ship like this one. The set was also used as every cargo bay ever needed.

U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205

This shuttlebay is extra magical, since it didn't exist until it was suddenly needed for an episode. As you can see, it went from a having a protruding tractor beam emitter to a recessed set of doors in the space of a few episodes.

U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656

This shuttlebay never looked the same twice and changed size to fit whatever was needed at the time. Here it barely fits the Delta Flyer but at other times it holds the Delta Flyer and other ships with room to spare and somehow one time Neelix's ship (not shuttle, ship!) was revealed to just be sitting in storage since the pilot episode

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 (AOS)

The Kelvin Timeline movie Enterprise featured the King of shuttlebays. Requiring a massive size cheat to fit inside (this Enterprise is supposed to be 725 meters long, but to fit the shuttlebay it needs to be 1200 meters), it features more than a dozen shuttles in racks along the walls. Tons of high up walkways for crew to fall from and enourmous support beams that are seemingly designed to make landing as hazardous as possible

The U.S.S. Discovery NCC-1031 has an enourmous shuttlebay, and the doors get jammed open after the first season so we always get to see inside.

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 (SNW)

Nice and roomy, but not roomy enough for the hundred or so drones they launched at the end of Discovery season 2

Queen of Tears really just took a sharp nosedive off a very steep cliff these past 3 episodes. I didn't post anything about the last two episodes since there was nothing to say. I've had issues with some aspects of the drama that I could overlook because Hae In and Hyun Woo were top tier stuff. The break down of a marriage of two people who loved one another finding their way back to each other through medical crisis was so good. It didn't even need the Eun Sung or the family business stuff (it would have made a tighter, more coherent drama but I digress). But the last 3 or so episodes I've lost all patience. We've had:

Hae In's miraculous brain surgery which required no shaving of the hair, which I can overlook because it is a drama. Her memory loss too, as again, it's a drama and it's been hinted at since the beginning. I'm not necessarily thrilled with it but it's fine.

There is no way that Eun Sung would have suddenly become her legal guardian just because Hyun Woo left. It makes NO SENSE. Hae In was clearly there with Hyun Woo. They met with her doctors. There would have been forms and documents signed, with appropriate translators for any language barriers. Eun Sung would not have been able to waltz in and say I am her guardian now. I'm fairly confident of this even without knowing German law.

Hae In's family had people in Germany following her for...reasons??? They did nothing to protect her from Eun Sung? They didn't go to her when Hyun Woo was carted off? To be fair I was kinda fast forwarding part so maybe I missed something.

Hyun Woo's arrest, extradition back to South Korea, finding the evidence to break his case, trail, release and then arrest of the real perpetrator all took place within a month. Which seems absurdly fast. Also they found and arrested the hired hit man but not who hired him??

Hae In is following Hyun Woo, taking notes to figure stuff out for herself yet does not think to look herself up on the internet? Pretty sure there would have been articles about her saying Eun Sung threatened her?

I generally forgive the burned notebook finding its way back to her.

Also, Hyun Woo's sister is married? With a kid? Living overseas?? and we find this out in ep 13 or 14? No pictures of her kid anywhere?? No phone call?

Hyun Woon has been hit by car, by Eun Sung because of course that happened. At least he won't get amnesia, right? RIGHT?

What a mess.

I still stand by the core story of Hyun Woo and Hae In being the strongest parts, even within the past 3 episodes.

How much do you want to bet they are not even going to address the miscarriage, which was catalyst for their whole marriage falling apart in the final episode. Despite the 1031 being used for pass codes. I've been wanting that from when we found out and it looks like it won't happen. Who knows if Hae In will even get her memory back.

The preview for the final episode doesn't give me much hope, even if we get a nearly 2 hr final episode like Crash Landing on You.

So much wasted potential in the drama. If only they had focused on Hae In and Hyun Woo, and not 20+ other plots.

Episode: The First Temple

[latenightdecaf]

There are just so many things that don't sit right with that ep 14. (And I won't be able to do my work today if I don't write it down.)

Honestly, I've been enjoying this drama because of its fast pacing and the way it resolves things fast and as clean as they can. I didn't mind the inconsistencies to be honest, and some gaps in history

like why the fuck was haraboji's gf, so mad in the first place anyway?? like yes she went to prison, had a son, left that son and worked for haraboji and then??

the 1031 baby miscarriage was fine not to be addressed (unfortunately, I can forgive that - given that I have friend who went through the same thing and honestly did not really confront or grieved that with her husband either - they never moved on, but never talked about it either, so fine - we move forward.)

But honestly, this episode is just different than the rest in an unsettling way.

First, the scenes were cut so weirdly... like honestly, what do they want us all to feel here? They had the most beautiful confrontation about life, yes they walked to the hotel without looking at each other. Yes, Hae In stayed true to her character not wanting other girls to look at Hyun Woo. But honestly, that shit felt shallow and her charcter could've been more. They could've walked into a restaurant after fighting, with Hyun Woo just holding her wrist and her noticing the small ways this unbelievable man takes care of her even when he's mad - opening the door, ordering her food, idk, slicing it for her. It could've been slow, it could've been realizing that he had wrinkles now, that he looked tired, that he was having a hard time too - realizing that she wanted to live and be loved by this man no matter what. That if given a chance, even as stranger she'd still surely fall in love all over again. Her as the stranger, NOT those girls who was just prying. They could've twisted that up in a melo way. (But of course, we needed the romcom so of course.)

I could not even begin to point out how weird that car accident was. As viewer, I already know she's not inside... I know that moment was needed but again for Hae In to somehow magically realize she wanted that surgery but that's just torture by now. After everything they've gone through in Yongduri, she already knows how loved she was. Things could've slowed down a bit. And I'm sure Kim Ji Won would've executed that brilliantly (hello, my liberation notes). Idk, Hae In could've had more stronger reasons to live, or that case could've been built differently. Hae In is not shallow but they made her that way and yes, by the time she'd be regaining or building her connection back to Hyun Woo that script will be back again not wanting anyone else to have him. (ugh, Hae In :( I need more!!)

Third of course, Eunseong - so far his character just became so predictable that it totally put me off. Honestly thought (based on the preview without any actual context, that Hae In would be in the car accident with Eun Seong and then he dies to save her so he can finally be someone who actually saved Hae In) but yeah. He came in so conveniently in the hospital that no one even bother to ask why this stranger is now the legal guardian of Hae In like come on. (I know it's kdrama but come on that was WAY TOO CONVENIENT)

And lastly, that fucking surgery. Every single build up, every single suspense gone. She woke up after 5-10 mins inside the drama not even a bandage to her head!! They've could've dragged that a bit, not make her wake up too soon. Mess with us up some more, have the doctors come in, tell them "these things take time". Make Eunseong nervous! But no, she had to wake up immediately. Like come on!! It could've messed with everyone if that was dragged a bit more to the next episode. They could've deported back Hyun Woo to Seoul while Hae In is still unconscious with the devil by her side. We could've been at the edge of our seats if suspense was all they needed and now it just felt too rushed and too much by now. And then, Hae In will be back in Seoul like nothing happened with her (physically) and then she's with Eun Seong now. Ugh.

But despite it all, I'm thankful for this drama. I'm still going to be there next week to see this through. Honestly, what a world-class acting from Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won.

I'm just wrapping up my thoughts so I can finally go on with my day.

Thank you all for coming to my TED talk.

[anotherfanaccount]

Episode 14 has been watched. And I can safely say that we are getting the happy ending.

Next episode eun seong bitchass gets caught in the trap hyun woo laid out for him. And Hyun Woo gets out because he got a smart lawyer friend. Hae In is confused but that's okay. Hong family will save baekhong this time.

Soocheol is fine everyone. He's faking it. Remember he learnt the first lesson of boxing is faking it. So this Hong will be fine too.

For the finale episode Seul Hee tries to avenge her son but is struck by Grace's car.

And the show ends with Beomja's fourth wedding in yongduri.

Epilogue. Baekhong go on trips and baby 1031 is incoming soon.
