#roll on season three

[sophsun1]

Okay that was all kinds of chaos and even though I totally knew they were faking with the whole charles is dead thing and becky being the killer was a twist. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first season finale but I gotta admit even I didn't see Paul Rudd dying.

Theory: The Clone X was not Cody like some people think or even Fives (I know he's been dead for a very long time but so was Boba Fett and look where we are. Plus, Echo was supposed to be certainly dead too; making him Winter Soldier-esque storyline wouldn't be that surprising) or not even Slick.

((Also, now that we've seen his face devoid of any tattoos or scars I think first two takes are definitely not applicable anymore; they wouldn't put that much effort to make him unrecognizable))

Back to the point: In my opinion, The Clone X was none other than...

Fox.

Now let me explain.

Who else, other than X, was loyal to the law and justice dictated by it over any moral or ethic code?

Fox.

Who else was portrayed with such single-minded focus on hunting down traitors of the government he served, regardless of what it was?

Fox.

Who else could know not only Coruscant so well but also identify Rex like they knew each other?

He already was a remarkably successful tracker of traitors, why not make him more efficient by pointing them out for him?

Good soldiers follow orders, after all.

If this exact dialogue isn’t in season 3 I will revolt. And then likely perish. This absolutely must be in this season. It is the single most romantic and sweet dialogue I’ve ever read.

Matt Arnold either has the most BROKEN good luck or the absolute SHITTIEST bad luck there is no in between

absolutely crazy to say shitshow at the fuck factory is the 4th worst episode of succession ESPECIALLY after this season which made it even better in hindsight

me after seeing the recent reblog

the answer is: not me

I feel like it'd actually be more likely for Kathryn to miss her babies' first steps which is sad haha. </3 Given the timelining of things. BUT MAYBE...

Me at 5:00 a.m.: Why did they send Tash home? Her pastry puffed and was good. Matty's pastry was wonky. It was PATISSERIE week...Also she came last in technical because her crust was underbaked, which I get but like she was the only one of the four that nailed the flavor of the Frangipane...she should have gotten a leg up on that. Matty should have come last in technical, last in the showstopper...Matty should have gone home...

I had a list of movies and tv shows to watch while on my Christmas holidays, I’ve managed one and somehow two seasons of Jack Reacher????

MAG 3 - 'Across The Street' - Unspoken commitments and their undoing.

This statement is one that very effectively displays much of the awkwardness of the unspoken commitments we share with friends, acquaintances, the natural rules of society; and of course in true Magnus archives nature, what happens when supernatural forces interfere with these things.

Amy and Graham's relationship is certainly a common one; I'm pretty sure any of us could name plenty of people we know well enough to wave to but wouldn't particularly want to have an in depth conversation with. It's natural, not every pair of people will get along famously, but the interesting thing with this is how strong the unspoken commitments we make are, even in these distant half-friendships.

Having lived in London my whole life I can only comment in depth upon these odd commitments I've experienced here- I couldn't claim to speak for other cultures or individuals.

British Middle class society generally is, as is wonderfully presented in the episode, painfully polite. Not every relationship is polite, of course, but once the expectation is established (as it nearly always is in a mature academic setting) it must be followed. I've known many people to be completely cut out of groups for not being polite enough, and I can't say I was eager to get them back. Once you break that mask of decency it's nobody's job to uphold it, and you'll often lose the courtesy yourself.

In this same vein, it makes complete and utter sense for Graham to agree to look after Amy, however begrudgingly, after her accident. It's a societal expectation, and in most cases a personal one. This opens up the discussion of how much of society is a pantomimed act instead of an effort to feel comfortable in the world, but I fear that's too deep a topic to completely explore in a text post.

Needless to say, to make these obligated situations more comfortable, one must employ their humanity. Graham makes an effort, sharing his life, his interests, and he offers up perhaps more than he'd have liked to. It does seem to comfort Amy to some extent, but of course, someone suffering a head injury is not in any way obligated to reciprocate.

It is interesting though, that Graham should be the one to lose his humanity when he displays it so strongly. Amy crosses boundaries and tears away from what would generally be considered basic human decency by so recklessly spying on Graham; and in the end it is Graham who has his humanity so harshly torn away.

Balance is restored though of course. Witnessing a thing like this instills that bone deep fear that those otherworldly powers so desire, and what is more human than intense fear?

The stranger is clever in its game with Amy, not only does it force her to come to terms with her friend no longer being human for all intents and purposes, but it also forces her to confront how she's changed, how far removed her daily sessions of watching Graham were from her, or who she once was.

Whoever was there that was pretending Graham was wrong, and what better time is there to see that when maybe you yourself have become wrong too.

s4 special thoughts because I had no idea what was happening but still loved it

THEY PLAYED MACAQUE'S LEITMOTIF DURING THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP TEAM ATTACK. GOING FERAL

I think we finally got the shadowpeach divorce scene but I cannot be sure

NEZHA FINALLY GOT TO BE COOL WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY GETTING BEATEN UP. I have no idea what he did but it was rad as hell

can't believe red son casually got out of the scroll off screen like castiel in the spn finale. fic writers get on that

POPSICLE SYMBOLISM

in the file I was watching it randomly cut out to the recorder's desktop. this would be fine if it wasn't a genshin impact wallpaper and right before macaque did something cool. imagine being me expecting lego violence and getting genshin instead what a scam

payed closer attention to the sound design because I couldn't understand the dialogue and both the score and sfx are fantastic

I work in education so it’s back to work to me today after a relaxing summer. But that’s never going to stop my thoughts of Bridgerton. Here’s what’s on my mind today. Two things mostly:

1. I’ve been thinking that they may put a character in danger this season much like they did last season with Kate’s coma. Pen has kinda stopped her trips to the printer but perhaps she will start again. Maybe Colin bursts a blood vessel when he slices his hand open 😂 or maybe it will be Eloise and her growing rebellion. I love those types of dramatic situations so I’m hoping to see anything along those lines.

2. The hate that is thrown at Colin Bridgerton for his friendzoning Penelope is amazing to me. Yet there’s people out there who love Benedict and Sophie’s story more? I don’t hate on their relationship and I think there’s going to be a big shift in their story on the screen but my word all Benedict wanted was for her to be his mistress. There was barely any fight in him at all to go against the bounds of society. I just don’t understand the hate I suppose because to me the friendship between Colin and Pen being the basis for their romantic relationship is going to result in greater and deeper intimacy which has been lacking in the other two seasons. The first so focused on a physical relationship and the second also focused on a slow burning physical relationship. There was more emotional intimacy I think in season 2 but not like in the books for Kanthony (although I think we’ll get a lot more in season 3). Anyways…I think Polin is going to be a breath of freaking fresh air in terms of their relationship and character development and I’m sick of the hate.
