SEVEN OF NINE/RAFFI MUSIKER - STAR TREK: PICARD S2E3 Assimilation

[biblicallyinaccuratespoons]

elnor's fine! he's fine, right?

he just fell asleep! he fell asleep and raffi zipped him into his special little sleeping bag and put him on the nice nap shelf.

he's napping!!

just a little sleep, he's just sleepy is all, he's fine!

writing my own Elnor hurt/comfort fic to try to cope with the fact im on 2x02 about to watch 2x03 and they turned my favourite Romulan into a green donut the violent way.

i don't expect to post it, but just know i'm writing it to comfort myself from how i freaking screamed.

Since I put together a rather massive thread about the probable S3 final fuckeries on the dead-parrot site, I figure I'll bring it over here as well :) This is bearing in mind that the show loved using history when it was useful or funny.

Blackbeard's death was in a battle and afterwards, his head was cut off and hung from the bowsprit of the ship, then later as a warning by a harbour. Urban legend said that his headless body swam around the ship, trying to find the head. Stede, meanwhile, was executed by hanging after being captured and tried in Charles Town.

My theory is a giant faking-their-deaths fuckery and this is the collection of extensive foreshadowing in sequential order.

1x01 - He's holding his own head! That's terrifying!

The Swede's flag with a skeleton holding his own head. Given Ed's flair for the dramatic and the urban legend that BB's body swam, headless, around the ship, this feels like a very him thing to do. (also ties in with Blackbeard's flag with just the skeleton in S1)

1x01 - Stede's first fuckery

Stede using mannequins as a diversion so they can escape from the British Navy and the British Navy fall for it. Also, significantly, one of the fake heads falls off.

1x03 - Stede hanged

I facepalmed so hard when I realised that we had already seen Stede get hanged and survive it. Also, the fact that the person who intended to kill him by hanging is the one who dies first? INCHRESTING.

1x04 - "People just see the flag - I don't even have to be on the boat. I'm a ghost"

And he won't be on the boat in the end :D (@wastingyourgum reminded me of this one :D)

1x04 - "He's wearing Blackbeard's clothes. He's on Blackbeard's ship".

Combining this with Stede's fake-heads-to-escape idea, Blackbeard's official 'death' is tied up with a bow :D They just need to find a suitable person to sub in *coughHornigoldcough*

1x06 - "Over here, child!"

HOOBOY this entire episode is basically emphatically pointing at Ed's skill in the art of misdirection. Ed is an expert at fooling people into seeing what he wants them to see. The Master of the Theatre of Fear.

1x06 - The crew fuckery

Stede, the Swede and Black Pete literally holding heads that aren't theirs And once again the allusion to swapping faces/places. "Are those supposed to be the same guy?" "But with very different hairstyles, ja?"

1x06 - "I'm supposed to burn your face off and take your identity"

Stede getting another layer of "how to get away with dying/disappearing" added to his arsenal of knowledge.

1x08 - The Unicorn's head

Oh look. A mythical creature's head is removed by the English, when Ed has been compared to a demon, devil, vampire and kraken. I wonder what that could be foreshadowing 🙃

1x09 - "You've kept the clippings so we can make fake heads and escape"

When in doubt, Stede turns to arts and crafts.

1x10 - "Now that's a fuckery"

Stede has already faked his own death not once, not twice, but three times in ten minutes. Now that's overkill 😂He's done it before, he'll do it again! In Stede's town, wearing Stede's clothes.

2x01 - "He can't possibly look like this"

The S1 propaganda pics are all full/half body, but now, he's reduced down to a head with very snaky looking hair. "He can't possibly look like that" (and this ties into something from 2x04 as well)

In related things, there is one historic piece of art referring to Blackbeard like this, as a disembodied head and I feel like there's a bit of a resemblance going on.

2x02 - "There's some beheadings on here"

Okay, yes, this one is a stretch, but head removal, people. We have more head removal :D

2x03 - "I'm not me, I'm you"

Yes, I know, in the context of the Gravy Basket, but there would be some poetrical vibes if Hornigold's body was the one left in Ed's place so Ed can live a long and happy life. (And yes, fully convinced he was an S3 villain)

2x03 - "I knew they killed him"

Will fully admit I yelped a bit when I saw this scene in higher res than a stream because with the drape of cloth over his head matching the colour of the surroundings, it's gives the illusion of a headless body.

2x04 - "He can't hear you. He's got no head"

Again, the symbolism of the mythical creature without a head. Especially when we see Izzy yelling at it as if its Blackbeard, his own personal figurehead.

2x04 - "Pulls his entire fucking face off. Turns out this one had stolen the face off some Brit and come to my rescue"

Of all the specialist skills for someone in Ed's old crew to have, disguising themselves with someone else's face? :D (That's romance ;))

2x04 - The Head of Medusa

Buttons' transmogrification bowl is under a painting of The head of Medusa (Caravaggio). In the story of Perseus, he used Medusa's severed head to defeat a terrible sea monster (hello, kraken :D) and a King.

And I mentioned earlier Ed's wanted poster had a connection to this episode and look at these images side by side:

Coincidence??? I THINK NOT XD

Ok so I was rewatching arcane 2x03 fight scenes at like 3/4 speed to really appreciate them because ON GOD they are so gorgeous.

The blue/pink got me going insane. When Jinx’s is all fired up on shimmer and she trails pink even though she’s blue while Vi’s gauntlets trail blue even though she’s pink. And it’s like perfectly their colours. I feel like I’ve probably talked about their eyes now being each others colours but fucking hell it makes me go !!!!!!!!

And I know it was intentionally because everything is. I’m losing my mind.

Anyway. Probably done before. (If anyone has any pics to add to this go crazy)

Hi do you have an idea of what episode the "you can't script a hurricane" line might be in? It wasn't in 2x03 right? I thought it would turn out to be connected to Armand's backstory with lestat but I don't believe that line was there? So I'm now curious about where else it might fit instead

I mean… we have Lestat strutting down the aisles in the theater (towards Armand I‘d bet) at the trial. So episode 7, I would think.

We already saw that in a trailer.

I bet that refers to that as there are also pics of him in that armchair and I would bet real money that that is where he was supposed to stay, lol.

Because I mean… we know the trial is fake, a performance, right? And that needs a script.

But you cannot script a hurricane. 😈

And Lestat… is a force of nature. 🤓

Crossover episode was good it give us TK clocking Buck, Eddie Instagram handle and the fact all his photos are either Chris or Chris and Buck and low this season we got that in their fridges I do find interesting that Eddie had in his fridge that Madney pic same as bucks but that’s bucks sister so

Yep. I loved TK spotting Buck in the Lonestar episode (2x03).

Boxes and memories

I think there is a connection between the boxes we see in the Byers house, Hopper’s cabin and Terry’s house. 

The Byers box

In that box they keep their photos. Their memories. No photo of Lonnie tho. There’s even a pic of the library (the foreshadowing!) but no Lonnie, lol. 

Jo noticed that we also see the box (and the christmas lights) the first time El and Hopper interact. So both Hopper’s kids are there?

EDIT: In S2, the box is in Will’s room. He keeps his crayons in it now. That's Will's box.

And when Hopper is there we see the other side, with two flowers. The red one imo is El.

I think this is one of the most important scenes of the show, tbh. We see the I forgot you birthday card (birthdaygate) the Will the Wise drawing in two different places (different timelines?) the They’re growing, spreading, killing, foreshadowing of Will’s connection with the UD and the UD spreading into Hawkins in S5. 

And Will probably explains what MKUltra did to the Hoppers. One of those scenes they could use as a flashback when they reveal the truth in S5. When Will says that he knows things now that didn’t know before, and has old memories in the back of his head that are not his memories. Wow. 

And when he says that, Hopper, for some reason, looks at the box. Will's box.

This happens in 2x04. But in 2x03 we see Sara’s box in Hopper’s cabin! So, his daughter’s box in one episode, and in the next one, Hopper is with another kid and looks at his box. Ok.

And yesterday I noticed that there’s also a box in Terry’s house. On the left, in the background (another yellow flower!) And we see it when El is going into Terry’s mind to see her memories. Yeah. They’re connected
