A long time ago, we used to be friends... The Veronica Mars pilot aired 20 years ago today- on the 22nd of September, 2004.

re episode 10: so it is very apparent to the viewer that kazuki and rei have changed since the first day they got miri. however with hindsight it is even more clear, painfully so just how much they have changed. as in episode 09 where kazuki subtly shows his support and awareness for rei as an individual, in episode 10 we see just how observant and aware rei is of kazuki and his distress! for example:

rei acknowledges and understands kazuki's anger towards misaki and he lets kazuki air out his frustrations for a little bit. until he realises people are watching (knowing how much kazuki cares about their image as a family to others) and that miri is coming (knowing that kazuki would never want miri to see him like that)

rei acknowledges the pain on kazukis face when miri runs straight past him and into misaki´s arms

kazuki says something to rei along the lines of: "you don't know how awful it is to have someone else (misaki) in your kitchen!" but certainly rei has become aware of how sacred that space is to kazuki, surely remembering the french toast experiment and whatever else rei had tried and surely failed to cook before [I think this comment was more of kazuki deflecting on the actual seriousness of the situation and how upset he is but rei acknowledges this too].

there is a moment during the discussion between the three adults where kazuki stands up and kind of walks away from the conversation (clearly overwhelmed, quite possibly thinking about his past and feeling guilty - again) but rei doesn't hesitate to step in to ask misaki the hard questions that kazuki cannot in that moment

in the food court rei can see how devastated kazuki is - this is after kazuki looks around and sees all these kids with their mothers and thinks that thats what normal is supposed to look like (UGH) - and rei encourages kazuki to stay present and focus on the plan; to focus on miri

at the top of the ferris wheel, kazuki brings up the cat rei brought home, using it as an allegory for their current situation with miri and he kinda just straight up admits defeat.

rei is shocked by this and seriously looks like he's about to cry and thats where the words get stuck in his throat and he doesn't know what to say and the episode ends with them agreeing that they couldn't change but god I bring that up because in episode 11 its rei who finds the words and convinces kazuki to not give up but that drive and ambition came way before the events of episode 11!

in episode 10 (and before) rei had already decided what he wanted but he just didn't have the words to say it in the end but he sure as hell was making it clear in all these tiny gestures which for him, as we first knew him, are not actually that tiny at all but rather HUGE developments for his character!

I think the thing that's really bothered me and made me drift from CR in the past few months is just how rushed it's felt. I truly don't know if it's because the cast are tired of doing this after years, if Matt's tired of DMing after years, or if they thought a faster paced campaign would be better but personally I have not been fully vibing with it since the start.

The fact that a character tied to VM was introduced as their guide in the first episode, already distracting from the story because everyone was going crazy for more VM cameos. That he died in episode 3 and they named their group after this stranger who knew them for 72 hours. This felt like Matt trying to recreate the heartbreak of losing a party member in C2, but because it was a scripted death from a character that was only around for 3 episodes and had made almost no meaningful connections to others in the group, it didn't feel that impactful.

The What The Fuck Is Up With That game took away so much from finding out the characters backstory slowly. C2 characters were so cagey about their backstories, it was a treat to find out more things. I don't think we even found out about Caleb's real training until episode 60? But with C3, suddenly we have most of the characters revealing their backstory or at least big chunks of their backstory by episode 6.

That they were pushed into finally choosing a group name when, at least for M9, the name came more naturally.

The fact that it seems like the big bad has already been revealed and they've been working on taking them down for over 40 episodes now. C2 Big Bad was revealed after episode 100. (I'm hoping this is all a red herring and the real big bad will come later but it's hard to top Evil Moon as the big bad)

I haven't watched C3 since episode 76 but downtime was so little last I watched, it felt like M9 got a lot more downtime to fuck around and have these deep and funny moments. Idk it all feels rushed to me and it's been hard trying to stick with it.

I really hope that if we get Campaign 4, we have a similar structure to C2. More downtime, less immediate backstory reveals, AND especially not doing constant callbacks to C1. Having VM get involved is cool for fans of C1, but even with how little Matt has them do, it still feels like they're supervising BH. BH are supposed to come into being heroes in their own right but it feels like so much of C3 since VM was introduced has been BH looking up at VM like "is this okay? Should we do this? How can we save the world like you guys did?"

I want to rewatch Doctor who rn but what episode? What era? What doctor? What flavor of emotional torment?

[sexynetra]

Have any of y’all seen the movie the 10 year plan? And if you were hypothetically to read a fic loosely based on it, what ship would you want to see 👀

[eyes-inthe-skies]

Episode 15 of season 1 is a lot for a lot of reasons but i think it's very notable that not only does daniel hold jack to a very high regard, but he also seems to take a lot of what he says to heart... "The colonel thinks i'm a geek" (which is so funny that Thats his chief concern among that and "idk how to get us out of here") and being surprised that jack said something nice about him at his FUNERAL. He has no idea man.
