You hated that you were right.

It was a total of 15 hours of marching before the battalion was commanded to stop. A quick survey of your surroundings told you that the platoons had made it to a main road.

Ah yes, Anakin’s plan. Follow the road after probing the city's defenses. The scouts ahead would tell the rest of the 501st what to expect. From there, Rex and Krell would be able to plan ahead. Knowing what to expect would keep casualties to a minimum.

“Are you questioning my order!?”

Nevermind…

You sighed, looking up from where you tended to Jock’s broken leg. You were close enough to listen to Pong Krell tear into poor Rex again. He had a holo up, showing a map of the area, and the proposed plan, “this Battalion will take the main road straight to the capital. you will not stop and you will not turn back regardless of the resistance you meet,” He threw his hands up, shutting down the map, “we will attack them with all our troops. Not some sneak attack with a few men! That is my order and you will follow it explicitly. Do I make myself clear, CT-7567?”

You could tell from Rex’s stance that he wasn’t confident in the new General’s plan, in fact, you could tell he flat out hated it, “Yes, General.” but, Rex was a captain, and Krell a general.

“Now engage!” The Jedi commanded, earning a stiff salute from the captain.

You stood, after treating the ARF trooper’s leg. It was a tad more complicated treatment, as you needed to perform a surgery to put the bone back in place. However, after using about a liter of bacta, and some well placed sutures, Jock’s leg should heal fine after some rest. To be safe, you kept him in a medicine induced sleep for the next few hours.

Kix dealt with Oz easily. The medic expertly put the kneecap back into place. The soldier gave an experimental kick and stood, “Good as new, Kix. Thank you.” Oz nodded, sounding rather happy to be back to walking. Or it was the painkillers. You watched him drape an arm around Ringo.

Definitely the painkillers.

You cast a glance over to your lover. His helmet was on and he was already informing the men. Even from where you were, you could see Fives and Jesse ready to argue. It was a stupid plan, and they all knew it.

With a sigh, you got back on the speeder. Since Krell wasn’t going to march at the front, you’d need to stay near him. From what you’ve seen, he’ll probably be at a vantage point overlooking the road. If things went south, which they most likely would with such a careless plan, you’d be a safe distance away to tend to the seriously wounded away from the battlefield.

“Doctor.” The Jedi approached, almost as if your thoughts summoned him. His hands were behind his back, “You will be with the men on the main road.”

You furrowed your brow, “General, my training and rank dictate I always remain behind cover. Usually away from any battle if I can help it. I’m not supposed to be on the front lines.”

Marching with the men was one thing. Marching with the men directly to a battle was another. Plus, you were supposed to maintain the medical supplies and keep an eye on Jock.

“Plans change, as a soldier you need to be prepared to adapt to the situation.” He shot back, tone indicating that he wasn’t going to argue.

“Sir, Jock and the medical supplies-.”

“Will remain with me. Such supplies are too important to be guarded by anyone but me.” Krell stated coldly. You were getting on his nerves and he wasn’t going to budge.

You looked dumbfounded, but saluted, “Yes, General.” Your words were defeated. Still, you had to suck it up and your steps lead you away to where Fives was seething alongside Jesse and Kix.

Rex wasn’t going to like this. You knew he took comfort in your position away from the front lines. Of course, he trusted you could handle yourself but you were a doctor first before a warrior.

“So…I’m marching with you.” You informed them as you all began to walk to the main road.

The ARC trooper practically exploded, “What!?”

“What about the supplies?” Kix sounded downright stressed. He looked back at Krell, who had gotten Appo to drive the speeder. This General wasn’t doing anything to help his nerves. Good men would die if anything happened to that vehicle and everything on it.

“Fuck the supplies, what about you? You're our doctor. Kix won’t be able to handle all of us on his own.” Jesse chimed, “especially if this goes as badly as I think it will.”

You rubbed your temple, “Krell thought it better the supplies would be near him. Keep them off the front lines. I am to remain with the battalion.” Your foot met the flat, glasslike road. If it wasn’t so fucking dark on this planet, you assumed it would look pretty, “I’m pretty sure this is him punishing me for earlier.”

“What?” Your lover had overheard and approached, steps hurried to your side, “Why?”

“Enough, what's done is done.” You sighed, crossing your arms, “If things get bad I’ll do my best to slip away and get to safety.”

“Mesh’la, let me talk to him-.” Rex’s emotions got the better of him and he slipped out a term of endearment. He didn’t want to wait, turning to find the General again. You grabbed his arm, halting him.

“So he can yell at you again?” Your voice was steady, “No, it’ll only piss him off. Besides, I’d risk getting shot if it means spending time away from him.”

Fives snickered, but Rex didn’t seem amused, “I don’t want you getting hurt.” He admitted quietly, “It’s dangerous.”

To be honest, you were nervous. Yes, you’ve seen combat. Yes, you could defend yourself. But you weren't trained for front line combat. You were trained for medical care, potentially even surgery, on the field. You were afraid of becoming a liability. Something for the others to worry about.

And Rex…clearly feared you getting hurt or killed.

You looked around before brushing your hand against his. In response, he grabbed it and squeezed before letting go.

Fives, the ever great friend, stood behind you both, blocking anyone's view of your brief moment of affection.

“Kids, behave.” Kix joked, earning a small laugh from you.

“Oh I absolutely knew something was going on with the both of you,” Jesse snickered.

The clone captain cleared his throat, “I don’t know what you're talking about.”

“Sure, sure.” Fives joined in on the teasing, “No sleepovers between you two. And if you go out, be home before curfew.”

Oh, his brothers did love to tease.

Rex let out a deep sigh and shook his head. You knew under that helmet he was blushing. He was most likely flustered, so you did him the favor of shushing your friends, “That's enough you three.”

The slight jovial mood was ended quickly by another voice, “Sir,” Looking back you recognized Tup walking up next to Hardcase. Hopefully, he hadn’t seen or heard anything between you and the captain. Though, judging by his next question, he most likely didn’t, “why aren't we sticking to the original plan, and probing the city defenses first?”

“We can do this. Let's take them.” The hyperactive trooper raised his weapon slightly.

Jesse scoffed, “Yeah, leave it to Hardcase to dive in head first.”

Fives let his thoughts be known by speaking up again, “The General's new plan is reckless.”

“I agree.” you nodded, “It seems like he doesn’t care about strategy. Or the lives it’ll cost.”

Another trooper interrupted you all, “You ever think that maybe the General knows what he is doing?” Dogma snapped.

“Watch the tone.” Kix retorted, silencing the rather obedient soldier.

“Enough.” Rex stamped out the small quarrel.

Fives turned to him, completely ignoring Dogma’s words, “I know you think this is a bad idea.”

“I raised my objection to General Krell's plan, but he didn't agree.” There was a sigh in the captain's voice, “So, this is it.”

You wanted to hold your lover's hand again. Comfort him. Tell him he was doing as good a job as anyone in this situation. He sounded so…tired. More so than previous battles and planets.

Krell was getting to him.

The ARC trooper argued, “What if he's wrong? Then what?”

You were about to silence him, but Rex spoke again, “This isn't the time for a debate. Right now, we have to stay alert.” He shut down any future objections.

It worked for a time. The men remained silent, paying close attention to their surroundings. It was only broken by Tup muttering, “Eh, it's too quiet out there.”

He was right. After everything you’ve seen on Umbara so far, you should have been ambushed by now. Your hand drifted to your pistol and you pulled it from your holster.

You had the worst feeling.

It didn’t go away, so you kept your head down. Your eyes had adjusted to the low light of Umbara, and now you were able to make out certain details of the road. The tiles were hexagonal, and looked glass-like. You guessed the material was this planet's version of marble. Every step you took was slow and deliberate, however, you stopped.

One of the tiles ahead of you had a very, very minor glow. It was easy to miss if you weren’t looking down.

“Doc?” Fives stopped next to you, keeping a grip on his rifle.

A cold feeling washed through your blood. The quiet made sense. The fact that you hadn’t been attacked yet made sense, “I think-” your warning was cut off.

The ground shook as two explosions went off behind you. The sky was temporarily lit up by the green fires of the traps that were set off. Two troopers cried out, getting sent flying before hitting the ground.

“Mines! Nobody move!” As if on cue, everyone hit the ground, keeping low. Rex had his hand on your back as everyone waited for something else to happen.

Your captain got on one knee beside you and pointed behind him. You stared ahead and listened as two troopers checked on their downed fellows.

“Oz is down.”

“So’s Ringo.”

“Damnit.” you hissed, looking back. Even from where you were you could tell they had died in pieces. Even if they survived, they wouldn’t have lasted long based on where half of Oz’s body lay and both of Ringo’s legs landed, “Didn’t even get a chance.”

Such gruesome, violent sights didn’t cause nightmares anymore. Instead, they only fueled your anger at this war. And right now, you were enraged by this careless plan Krell had thrown at the battalion.

“Can you sweep ‘em?” Rex helped you up as he spoke to Fives.

The ARC trooper scanned the road carefully. Within the rays of the scanner, several of the hexagonal tiles reflected the light, “There are more over here,” He informed the soldiers, “Looks like the whole road’s been boobytrapped. Watch your step.”

The march would have continued, but it felt like four steps later when another explosion went off. The ground shook violently and Umbarans burst from the thick, dark foliage. It seemed like they just teleported around you, immediately shooting. Blaster shots came from all sides.

You dove, getting behind Rex. Your back was to his, and your pistol was in your hands. You matched his steps and he matched yours with skill. If he stepped back, you stepped forward. If you turned he turned. It was a small dance the two of you entered, watching each other's blindspots, and shooting any approaching adversaries.

Above the chaos, you heard Tup cry out, “We’re completely exposed!”

“Hold your ground!” the clone captain ordered the men. He focused, shots firing rapidly all around him.

An explosive shot from one of their cannons landed too close. The shockwave knocked you down, landing next to Hardcase, who was surprisingly upbeat, “You want a piece of this!?” He called out, laughing.

You were too focused on not dying to join in on his chipper attitude. Using the trooper as cover, you managed to get up on your knees and continue shooting.

Another shot rang out, the cannon bolt hitting North directly off his AT-RT. The transport collapsed into pieces, and the ARF trooper remained still on the ground.

Using the smoldering metal vehicle as cover, you rushed to his side. It didn’t really occur to you that his head was 3 meters away until you knelt by his body, staining the lightweight plastoid armor on your legs with his blood.

North. Dead.

You mentally checked him off, needing to shut down and work. Someone screamed in agony behind you, so you hurried to them. A shiny was down, gripping his burning side.

“Come with me.” you grabbed his shoulders and rushed back to the downed AT-RT. The hunk of metal and wires was your only cover in the middle of an ambush. Your training took over, blocking out all the noise and chaos. So you worked.

Third degree burn. Bacta can fix it. Cover in bandages, but not too tight. It was a quick treatment, less than 2 minutes you had the shiny back up and fighting.

Another cannon blast, “We’re blown!” someone cried through the loud bang. The ground shook when another boom followed.

“The Umbarans are advancing!”

“Make them eat heat!”

You had to get away. Lay low until the fighting stopped. Maybe Krell would let you get back to the medical speeder…

Looking around quickly, it was clear that wasn’t an option. The Umbarans were closing in, completely surrounding the soldiers. It seemed as though for every enemy that was shot down, two more would take their place.

Dogma skidded down next to you, “They’re coming from all directions!” He shouted, wordlessly giving you his burnt wrist.

Rude, but OK. This wasn’t the time to correct the soldier on his manners, so silently you treated his wound. Once you were done, he got up again and continued to shoot. You were going to follow him, but the force of a nearby cannon shot knocked you into the downed AT-RT, hitting the air out of your lungs. The hit was hard enough to disorient you for a second.

However, you got your bearings quickly and spotted an Umbara advancing on your position.

You attempted to raise your arm, but failed. Your hand wasn’t cooperating, you couldn’t shoot. A different soldier shot the Umbaran down, saving you. Looking down, you noticed blood. Dogma’s most likely, or North’s, but why would their blood stop your arm from working?

Come on, work! You tried aiming your pistol only to drop it. Your hand wasn’t closing properly. You were shaking.

Why…?

Your brain finally comprehended what happened. The blood was yours. Your arm had been hit. A blaster bolt had knocked you into the AT-RT, not cannon fire.

Calm down. Breath. Assess later. You were conscious. You were breathing. The shot to your upper arm most likely wasn’t that bad. You quickly wrapped the wound in a bandage, deciding to deal with it later. Or shock prevented you from thinking clearly.

“We don’t have any cover!” Fives cried out, throwing an Umbaran down and slamming his fist through their glass helmet.

Rex, thankfully, was still alive. His aim was impeccable despite the stress. Everywhere he looked, he shot and everywhere he shot, he hit the target. His tone was stressed but steady as he spoke, “We need to pull back! Get them to follow us. If we draw them out, we can see them!”

“If we can see them, we can hit ‘em!” Jesse stepped backwards, continuously firing at the enemies. He paused to look down at where you were kneeling. He went noticeably rigid, “Doc-!”

“All squads, pull back now!” The captain’s command cut off the trooper.

Without much thought, you grabbed your gun with your functioning hand and ran. You followed Jesse, as he was the closest to you. Your pace matched his as everyone retreated, following the main road back out of the forest where you entered.

A cannon rang out, hitting one of the trees beside you and Jesse. The glowing plant crackled and fell, slamming to the ground with a boom. The smoking trunk offered some much needed cover. Fives leapt over it, turning and landing on his feet to continue to shoot, “Get ready, here they come!”

A soldier close to you, running with the men, was launched back. He cried out in pain, hand going to his neck as he hit the ground.

Neck shot. Graze most likely. Your training kicked in again. You were a doctor. You had a job to do.

You pushed yourself out of the cover and dove to the injured trooper's side. Above you another ARF trooper was firing from his transport, keeping Umbaran blaster shots away from you as you dragged the poor man behind a collapsed AT-RT.

“I-it’s nothin’ doc,” The trooper kept his hand on the side of his smoldering neck.

“That's for me to decide.” you responded, carefully taking off his helmet,“What's your name, soldier?” He had a scar over his lip, and a blue left eye. A blaster shot nicked the metal cover and the both of you flinched down.

“Noct.” He responded, moving his head slightly to give you easier access to the wound.

“I got you Noct.” Your words were calm and collected despite the raging battle around you. Your one hand worked as quickly as you could, getting bacta and bandages on the trooper. A cannon shot again, shaking the ground, but you adapted, being as precise and careful as possible.

It was hard, since your arm still wasn't listening to you, but you got the job done, earning a “Thank you, doc!” from him.

Once Noct had returned to fighting, you took the chance to run further back. You stopped behind Hardcase, who, respectfully, was fucking insane by standing in the middle of the road and mowing down Umbaras with his minigun, “HAHA! Where are you going!? Get back here!”

Fuck it. You remained behind him instead of finding cover, aiming your pistol and firing at the now retreating enemies. Through your haze of tunnel vision and adrenaline, you realized that more forces had joined you. Krell must’ve sent in reinforcements.

Fives stood from his location behind the downed tree, “They’re pulling back!” he cheered. As he spoke, the shots died down. Soon, it was only your side that fired their weapons until the enemies were gone, leaving only silence.

You raised your com to your lips, “Kix, triage,” Immediately, you and the medic got to work. Neither of you had time to rest as you weaved through the soldiers, checking those on the ground. Kix went to the other side of the field, tending to those there. You found a survivor, knocked unconscious with a bleeding shoulder, without pausing, you went through one of your packs and began to bandage him up.

Star on his chest. This was Pointer. You identified him. Single shot. All the way through.

Despite your focus, the yelling of Krell hit your ears, “CT-7567!” He stomped towards Rex, “Do you have a malfunction in your design!” the besalisk jerked forward, getting an inch away from the captain's face, “you've pulled your forces back from taking the capital city, the enemy now has control of this route!” He shoved one large finger into Rex’s chest, causing the clone to step back, “This entire operation has been compromised because of your failure!”

You wanted to yell at the Jedi. tell him to shut up, but your energy was sapped, your injured arm was starting to hurt and good soldiers were dying because of his fucking plan!

Fives spoke up where you couldn’t, “General Krell in case you haven't noticed Captain Rex just saved this platoon surely you won't fail to recognize that.” He spat, venom and hate dripping from every syllable.

The Jedi turned slowly, facing the ARC trooper, “ARC-555,” His words became cold and furious, and he raised one large lightsaber, “Stand down.” The glowing weapon rested extremely close to Fives’ neck. So close, in fact, you looked down, expecting Krell to flat out kill him.

Thankfully, he backed down, “Sir, yes, sir.” The ARC trooper growled, walking away.

Rex finally fought back in his own way, “Sir if I may address your accusation I followed your orders even in the face of a plan that was, in my opinion, severely flawed,” He stepped forward, keeping his eyes on the General, “A plan that cost us men, not clones, men!” Your lover ripped off his helmet to yell, finally snapping under the pressure of an incompetent leader. Even from a distance you could see the fire in his eyes.

Times like this, you remembered why you loved him. His passion. His determination.

Still, the captain continued, “As sure as it is my duty to remain loyal to your command, I also have another duty, to protect those men.” He was seething, but kept his anger under control. It was impressive as, if you were in his position, you might’ve just shot Krell and blamed the Umbarans.

His words seemed to quiet the Jedi. So you stopped listening, praying maybe he finally understood. Krell could say whatever he wanted, right now you had to focus on the injured soldiers. And there were a lot of them.

Your arm started to hurt again, so you took the chance to inject some painkillers.However, it wouldn't matter, as you didn’t have time to do anything to treat yourself. The Umbarans regrouped and attacked again.

You and Kix would have to wait before you could do your jobs and save the men.

Nicola Mary Tina Coughlan,

born on 9 January 1987 in Galway, Ireland, and raised up in Oranmore.

At the age of 4, she realized her dream to be an actor after watching an videotape film of "The Wizard of Oz". Likewise, she grew up watching her older sister perform in a school play. She attended Scoil Mhuire for primary school and Calasanctius College for secondary school. She graduated with a degree in English and Classical Civilization from the National University of Ireland, Galway. She then went on to train in England at the Oxford School of Drama and Birmingham School of Acting.

At the age of 9, in 1997, Nicola Coughlan had an uncredited role in action thriller film My Brother’s War. Coughlan was able to take the day off school and was paid £30 to feed swans, though she was scared of them. In 2004, she started her career with a role in Tom Collins’ short film, The Phantom Cnut, a revenge comedy. In the following years, she did various voice works in animated series. She was suffering from depression during this period and her family helped her through the entire process.

"There wasn’t one thing that turned it around for me — I got myself out of that stage very slowly."

Due to financial difficulties, Nicola moved home to Galway, Ireland, to work part time at an optician and get back on her feet. During that time, she responded to an open casting call on Twitter for Jess and Joe Forever at The Old Vic in London, and she just so happened to land the role of Jess. The show has a special place in her heart, as it was her first real break into the acting industry.

In 2018, Coughlan began playing Clare Devlin, one of the main characters, in Derry Girls. This sitcom is set in Derry, Northern Ireland, in the 1990s. The series was broadcast in January and February 2018 on Channel 4. But it was after its rerelease onto streaming platform Netflix in December of the same year that the show gained an international audience and an instant popularity.

In the same year, she also played Hannah Dalton in Hulu’s Harlots. The period drama television series is set in 18th-century London. This year also marked her West End debut in The Donmar Warehouse’s production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Evening Standard named her as “one of the Rising Stars of 2018”. Unfortunately, not everyone was a fan and Nicola was forced to call out a critic for the British Theatre Guide, Philip Fisher, due to his rude comments about her weight. In a poignant op-ed for The Guardian, where she demanded for critics to

“Judge me for my work in Derry Girls and on the stage, not on my body.”

In the following year, she made headlines again for rebutting the Daily Mirror’s comment on her 2019 British Academy Television Awards look as not the most flattering. She tweeted “I mean incorrect @DailyMirror I look smokin’, sorry bout it”. In July 2020, she auctioned off this Alex Perry dress and €5,000 raised funds went towards LauraLynn Hospice, an Irish children’s hospice which provides specialist palliative and supportive care services.

In 2019, it was announced that Coughlan had been cast in the Netflix series Bridgerton, which premiered in late December 2020. Nicola only had to audition once, and was soon given the role. In this period-drama series based on the best-selling Julia Quinn book series of the same name, Coughlan played Penelope Featherington. The girl is a reluctant debutante and youngest daughter of a nouveau-riche family in Regency-era London. Soon after its released, it was announced that over 63 million people had watched the series.

Nicola has remained an avid advocate for LGBTQ+ and Women’s Rights. Back in 2015, she went from door to door campaigning to legalize same-sex marriage in Ireland. “This was pre anyone knowing who I was, so I didn’t have a big platform to do stuff, but I did what I could,” she told The Guardian in December 2020. She also campaigns for the rights of women and LGBTQ+ communities, including with This Is Me in Ireland (which is run by her friend Noah Halpin) and The Rainbow Project in Northern Ireland. As she explained to Bustle during a December 2020 interview,

"Playing a gay character in Derry Girls and same-sex marriage being illegal until this year, I wanted to lend my voice. It’s not a cozy issue that’s easy to talk about, but I’ve got friends who have suffered because of legislation like this."

In February 2019, Nicola and, her Derry Girl’s co-star, Siobhan McSweeney women led 26 with their suitcases across London’s Westminster Bridge to demand the decriminalization of abortion in Northern Ireland. They represented the estimated number of women a week who had to travel to England to access abortion. Despite many celebrities calling for a boycott to filming in Northern Ireland, Nicola refuses. Of the matter, she said: “Just to state I would never boycott working in NI, I absolutely love working there and feel like my time is better spent supporting the women there by speaking out in interviews, protesting, etc.”

Chapter 3 of the Star Wars fic "Order 65". The rest can be found here.

19 BBY, Coruscant, Coruscant Underworld

They'd traded one Imperial for ten thousand more. Rex shook his head. It was going to take a lot more than removing Rampart from power to take down the Empire. And they were running out of time.

Watching Echo part ways with Clone Force 99 the night before had been bittersweet. Rex was eternally grateful to his brother for standing by him, but some part of him wished he'd stayed away. Out there, with the others, Echo's safety wasn't his responsibility. He didn't want to fail anymore of his men. Of his brothers.

Jesse. Kix. Hardcase. Tup. Fives.

The list went through his mind as he lay on the hard cot. He opened his eyes, watching the early morning sunlight play across the ceiling above him.

Denal. Oz. Ringo. Echo.

Metal clanged below him as his brother shifted on the bottom bunk. He still preferred to sleep down there, even now. He didn't say it, but Rex knew it was because sometimes, in the morning, he could imagine that Fives was in the bunk above like he used to be, still fast asleep.

Echo rolled over again, nearing waking as the sun continued to shine it's pitiful few rays into the Coruscant underbelly. Not much light reached them down here, beyond the artificial kind. And there wasn't much of that to go around, either. But sometimes in the early morning, if the sun reflected just right off a descending transport, a few weak rays would shine into the tunnels that descended deep into Coruscant's underbelly and grace them with a faint bit of morning light.

Rex watched as they finished their crawl across the ceiling and snuffed out. Below him, Echo shifted again. Metal clinked aginsat metal once more.

Rex had failed his brother once already. He wasn't going to do it again.

Rolling out of bed, he clambered silently down the ladder and paced out across the hangar bay. The Martez sisters had been kind enough to lend them the space while they were off scouting, but he knew they wouldn't be safe here forever. You could only hide under the enemey’s nose for so long before they caught a whiff. And Rex knew they didn't have the forces to back them up yet.

It was just him, Echo, and Drixx. Once in a while, when he wasn't playing spy. The clone might be sour to speak to, but he could play a fine good Imperial. Rex wondered how long it would be until somebody found him out. Hopefully not until they had a plan in place to extract him.

Because that was the problem. Rex had ideas, he had contacts, but he didn't have any plans. You couldn't have plans when all you had was three men and enough credits to last you a week, at best.

Rex picked up his datapad from where he'd left it the night before and sat on a nearby crate. If they could just find out where they were taking all the clones, then maybe, just maybe, he could finally do something. They could finally end this kriffing war.

"Couldn't sleep?"

Rex glanced up to see Echo standing a few paces away, adjusting the socket of his arm how some people might stretch after a good night's sleep.

"Have you heard anything from Drixx yet?" Rex asked, standing up and setting his datapad aside.

Echo shook his head. "He said it would probably be a couple of days."

Rex nodded, crossing to the crate they were using as a table and bracing himself against it, surveying the scattered notes and charts as though they meant something. Different systems and planets had been circled seemingly at random, all tips they had received as to where the captured clones might be being held. There were too many for them to check each one, but they had tried. So far, every lead had come up empty or, worse, they'd been too late arriving.

Rex knew Drixx was doing his best with what he had, but there was only so much a clone Private could find out on his own. Clearance was becoming an issue. The fact that he was a clone was becoming an issue.

"How are you holding up, Captain?" Echo asked, stepping up beside him.

Rex sighed. "I'm nobody's Captain, Echo."

That title had gone down with the Venator. And his men.

"You'll always be my Captain, Rex."

Rex glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. Echo's expression didn't read of pity, which was probably what he deserved. It was stoic, with a hint of that half smile his brother Fives had always worn.

He took a deep breath. "No point sitting around while Drixx is out there risking his butt for us, then."

Echo's hand flew to his forehead in a salute. "Sir, yes, sir."

He moved to stand across from Rex, spreading out the maps and glancing down at them. "Where do we start?"

Rex pointed to the nearest highlighted spot. He couldn’t give up on his brothers. Not yet. Not ever.

"There. We start there."

I realize I've posted quite a lot about The Wish today without really talking about the whole doomed alternate universe angle, but that's mainly because I just ... don't find that part of the episode very interesting?

As I've said before, Buffy's strength has never been its worldbuilding or its plotting, and this episode is no exception. As an actual attempt to answer the question "what might Sunnydale be like if Buffy had never come to town?'' it's all a little underwhelming. Where is Luke? Where is Darla? Where is Jesse (and if he was never vamped in this universe, why not)? Why does school end early (suggesting some sort of non-vampire authority trying to protect people), but forbid Cordelia from driving a car (thereby forcing her to walk home in the dark)? Why is there still school at all? Why don't the humans just wait until it's light outside and leave town? Did this reality have a 'real' Cordelia that our Cordelia physically replaced? Why, if Cordelia's wish was only that Buffy never came to Sunnydale? Why didn't her memories change too? How and when exactly did the Master get free? Why did the Mayor let this happen? Did Spike and Drusilla still come to town last year looking for a cure for Drusilla? If so, why is Angel still alive? Is there a particular reason why Willow, of all people, seems obsessed with torturing him in particular? Did he fail to protect her when she was alive, or did he kill the vampire (Darla?) that sired her? Did Jenny still come to town to keep an eye on Angel? Where is she? Why does Giles insist on having White Hat meetings in the library at night instead of in his big, well-supplied, vampire-safe house?

These questions have no answer, and even typing them out like this feels like seriously missing the point (well, the last one is a question that we're not supposed to ask in the regular show either). You could write fanfic trying to answer them (and I'm sure that people have), but they are far beyond the scope of this episode.

And ultimately we're just being told a shaggy dog story here: once Anyanka's power source is destroyed, we snap back to the moment of Cordelia making her wish and nobody has any idea what happened. None of the characters can learn from or be changed by this episode's events. (Okay, yes, Anya will be changed the next time we see her, but she'll also be a mostly different character who just happens to share the same name.)

So we're left with metaphor, the show’s usual strength: what can the writers tell us about the characters through this story of a world where Buffy never came to Sunnydale? And the answer is ... not much, especially after the show goes for the shock twist of killing Cordelia off mid-episode.

Buffy would be much more like Faith if she didn't have her friends? OK, but this is not news. That has been explicitly the point of Faith's character for a while, arguably since her first episode. Giles thinks a world where he's no longer a Watcher and the town he lives in is overrun by vampires who keep killing people he tries to protect would be bad? Yeah, me too. Obviously there's some striking visual symbolism in Willow and Xander killing Cordelia and then Xander killing Angel (and being killed by Buffy moments later), and in Oz helping to kill Willow, but it just doesn't really mean anything. These versions of the characters don't know anything about their 'real' selves, so these moments don't mean much to them, and the versions of the characters we've been following will never know about any of this at all.

Don't get me wrong: The Wish is a solid, fun episode. I enjoyed watching it, I'll enjoy watching it again next time I rewatch the show, and I get that having an alternate universe episode where everyone is evil and bisexual is any case all but mandatory for genre television. It's fun to see Mark Metcalf chewing the scenery as the Master again, and it's not like I'm immune to the appeal of Alyson Hannigan as vamp!Willow. But there's just nothing much to say about any of it, is there?

Uh. It was sad when everybody died hating each other, but then magically they hadn't and they were friends again, and that was nice.

#btvs #buffy rewatch 2023 #I'm aware of the absurdity of saying I don't find something interesting then typing another 600 words about it so no need to point that out

Next up for Warner Bros Animation, favorite character from the mid-late 2010s era of shows (aka the point when they started putting most of the WBA shows on Boomerang, maybe they were trying to rebrand Boomerang beyond just "old rerun house" around that time plus Cartoon Network in general going through change at that point, and the few that did air on Cartoon Network were screwed over in the end): The Tom and Jerry Show 2014, Mike Tyson Mysteries (WBA's first show for Adult Swim), Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, Be Cool Scooby Doo, Bunnicula, Right Now Kapow (surprisingly the rare time WBA produced a show for a Disney network), Justice League Action, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, Wacky Races 2017, and Unikitty?

Okay so let's take a bunch out: I haven't seen tom and jerry show 2014, wabbit, bunnicula, right now kopow, jla, dorthy or wacky races. Want to see that last one just haven't. SO gonna be a lgither lineup

Mike Tyson Mysteries: Pidgeon. It's Norm McDonald allowed to basically just riff half the time whlie playing a man turned into a pidgeon. Of course he wins. The show itself is genius... I first watched it thinking it was another throaway adult swim show. While the block has had had a ton of gems (Including aquired shows like mission hill or oblongs i'd like included, shows that didn't get a good chance first go round), it sometimes just falls into the bad cliches of adult animation. This show though.. is just fun, a filmation style show that pokes fun at tyson (Whose barely coherent), the concept and does whatever it wants. It could've gotten old quick given the similar hannah barbarera already got a ton of riffs early in adult swims life, but it didn't. Good stuff.

Be Cool Scooby Doo: Scooby who is just at his sassisest here and I support this. I watched thorugh all of this with @jess-the-vampire over the past few years. Now when this first aired I ignored it: I was bitter mystery inc was gone and had seen far too many cartoons lazily rip off family guys style to like the art style. And while the art style is still i'ts weakest part, Be Cool is easily the most underated Scooby Doo series. The wackier tone.. is necessary after the darker if still batshit insane mystery inc. Trying to do mystery inc again wasn't going to work.

So instead it's goofier: the mystery machine can transform, and we get some fun plots as the gang tries to solve a train mystery, deals with fred's need to solve a christmas mystery when instead having to deal with a ptreodactyl, shaggy becomes king of the goths, and fred's entirely too tight shorts disturb the gang whose too polite to tell him. The show goes places, having Velma sing the summation, reluctantly as hell, and it is all the better for it. It also plays with Daphne and Fred: While the other three are abou tthe same (Though Scooby is now sassy as hell as mentioned and the world is better for it), Fred is taken back to being the straight man, but often finds himself succubming to antics, a neat take and Daphne is given a quirk of the week and made a cloud cuckoolander. It allows Frank and Grey to play with the characters more and allows the writers to try something new. The result is awesome and the shows well worth checking out.

Unikitty: Dr. Fox ENTIRELY because she's played by Kate Miccui. The show itself.. is decent. Nothing amazing, but I will say it has more to it than the actual sequel to the lego movie and has some fun with it's pretty standard premise and weird as hell characters.

Jess Watches // Sun 7 Sept // Day 346 & Mon 9 Sept // Day 347 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Women in Blue / Las Azules (with mum) 1x07 Dora

The Azules turn their attention to unsolved murders, hoping to find a connection to the Undresser.

Not a coincidence that the episode fully focused on the women's pov is my favourite. Although I did laugh that the grown-up foster kid looked like the main detective with a wig and fake tash.

Interview with the Vampire 2x02 Do You Know What It Means to Be Loved by Death

Armand joins the interview, and he and Louis tell Molloy how they met.

Is the projector show something that happens now? It would be cool to see in person. Minus the real vampires, ofc. Unless-

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (rw) 4x06 Wild at Heart

When Oz falls hard for a sexy singer who also happens to be a werewolf, he must choose between Willow and his own animal instincts.

IMDB: In 1985, Lindsay Crouse played Seth Green's mother in I Want to Go Home. Here, Oz attacks and tries to kill Crouse's character, Professor Walsh. Green laughingly called this coincidence "the circle of life".

Also, IMDB: Scene cut from the show:

Willow: "And I don't want to be the kind of girl who freaks every time my boyfriend notices somebody else (and now cut) - even if she is throwing herself at him like a twenty dollar ho."

Buffy: "Please. Ten dollar ho. Fifteen, max."

fic: Reef-cover-y (jess/jimmy + parker whump)

Parker stays with Jess and Jimmy while he recuperates. They all love him so much like a close friend, a loved one, or a beloved old family guard dog terrier who got hurt.

Difficult moments for Parker; Made better by Jess, Jimmy and Victoria.

before: Hale; Mad

after: Pale(frail); Sad

It's 2.30am. Luckily Vic doesn't have school the next day. They spread their pillows on the living room floor by where Parker sleeps and have a spontaneous slumber party.

Vic asks Parker what he wants to watch after Jimmy has settled him gently on the sofa. "The Wizard of Oz", he mumbles as he curls in a fetal position, injured leg sticking out.

What’s Kath’s (and Oz) reaction to “Mr.Shue is he your son?”

Kath is very silent while she watches, once Mr Schue starts to look concerned she just gets up and walks out very very calmly (Oz follows), has more of a freak out about it once they’re alone while she processes what that actually means and that his lack of response means that, at the very least, he did cheat on Terri and Jesse could be his son
