First thoughts from just one watch under shitty circumstances with bad internet and worse sound:

RAMBLING FRANK vs RUSSIA THOUGHTS

I was very worried about this episode with how sacred the S5 DENNIS System episode is to us all. Didn't want a Thunder Gun 4 situation on our hands and thankfully they avoided it so hard! I think having the plot with Charlie, Frank, the mums, Uncle Jack and chess really helped out to make it feel more than a direct sequel.

SINNED -> DENNIS -> SINNED -> DENNIS — I'm so impressed with this. How did I, a wholeass Sunny fan, miss this for so long?! Three cheers to whoever came up with that inversion, really! Definitely something that happened in the writer's room and made everyone lose their shit for sure. I wonder who it was, could be Meg or another writer too, given how collaborative they all are!

And can I just say, Dennis the Restaurant Manager... oh how I love you so much! The Waitress is Getting Married is a personal favourite of mine and I wasn't expecting a bit of a redux of that whole situation.

I was so worried about all the "Mac getting a boyfriend and it being Ryan Reynolds" theories and I absolutely wanted none of that. Everyone had speculated it to death and it wouldn't have been fun anymore (not to mention I do not care for RR in my Sunny, I'm sure he's fine, but I don't need his and Rob's PR relationship filtering through into my dickandball show no I don't "find them cute" and I won't elaborate here anymore).

I know we'd guessed that Johnny could've been Dennis catfishing Mac, but it definitely felt like we were doing an Insane Fan Speculation more than anything — and for it to turn out to be correct! And in the best way, because we never could've seen the vibrating anal beads coming!! That's the best kind of "called it but it's still unpredictable".

It really broke my mind, this episode did. And don't even get me started on the Macdennis and queer Dennis of it all! As a longtime believer in Bisexual Dennis, I won so hard! All of us Queer Dennis Truthers won so fucking hard!

[Unpopular Take incoming] This is the first Sunny episode credited to Meg for writing that has felt so wholly "Classic Sunny" and super fuckin hilarious to me. I always appreciated her understanding of the characters and she's always a very solid writer, but this is the first time where I felt myself thinking ok, you she write RCG/Hornsby/Marder-Rosell/Chernins-level of an insane chaotic Sunny episode with multiple belly laughs and not just slightly Community-fied versions of the gang.

The closest her writing has felt like true Sunny to me before this was Dee Day, so I'm glad to see her grow and improve too, and I wonder if the podcast rewatch has helped in that regard! Must also help to have a classic S5 structure to play off in The D.E.N.N.I.S. System! (And ofc writing is collaborative, so well done to RCG and all the writers who pitched ideas and rewrites that ended up shaping this episode!)

I knew Heath Cullens directing meant a good chance of some interesting camerawork (and I've gotta say that even The Gang Inflates had some more dynamic shots than we've been getting in some of the later years and it's got to be the Cullens directing), but I wasn't expecting a whole visual callback to Being Frank! Loved it.

And the editing! The DENNIS System has always been great for cutaway gags and fun little inserts, so I loved seeing that carried out here with the cuts to Mac and Dee fucking up their dates and then finally pulling out the Magic Tissue of Mummy Issues (oh the potential for meta especially with the twins!). The pacing was so good!

Sunny pacing needs to feel like Mac crashing Dee's car into a wall while we are all Charlie watching it in real time and screaming when it's over.

Random strings of words because I'm too excited to be coherent:

Glenn's acting. His faces. His eyes. His range in this episode. Glacting. Juilliard. All the hits. All the big ones.

Mac and Dennis have canonically had sex in two different ways now, and yes, I'm including their sex tape/porn viewing sessions where they both masturbate together

Did Dennis pull out Mac's anal beads when he was asleep?

Vibrating fucking anal beads what the ACTUAL FUCK!

How many people did the gang drug again?

Danny DeVito with a vibrating asshole comedy acting 12/10 he's an international treasure for a reason

Dee stealing people's phones she's so stupid and bad at men. Never change Dee.

Uncle Jack though, pls change plz, I'm an IASIP loving degenerate so I laughed in horror at his creepiness ofc as I have since 1x7 but fucking hell man, can he be in his jail era already! Poor Charlie!

Hey, Charlie's got new America's just as we were promised on the pod

Oh I should make a post about everything we saw in this episode and that episode of the pod where they gave us all those hints, especially Meg talking about struggling with this cold open — added to the never-ending list of drafts and posts that will hopefully one day make it onto the blog yeah I'm lying to myself now

Parental issues everywhere this season, especially with the mums. Reynolds kids, I can't wait to lovingly put you under my microscope. Once I've rewatched this episode with good sound.

Also just in general, the SINNED system just says SO much about our babygirl's psychology, does it not? Why did so much of it sound like self-insert speeches, like he's been doing this to Mac or smt? Don't even talk to me about The Gang Chokes!

What does r/iasip have to say about— no, I'm in my happy place, I'm not even gonna go there.

Mrs Mac and Mrs Kelly watching TV together like that, they really are lesbian life partners.

Dennis blue shirt with top-stick between those buttons, my beloved. I am looking, respectfully.

And can we talk about the "opening the ketchup bottle" scene? We have to take about that scene! Dennis... he's ruining me... need to gnaw on him and suck on his fingers wait I'm browning out...

Sidenote: I love whenever the show references news stories which were super fucking big at a very specific time in a very specific niche, especially with my whole family being so chess-obsessed. The cheating scandals and anal bead… never thought I'd see a Sunny crossover but can't say I'm not loving the shit out of it!

me watching sab season 2, just mentally repeating to myself: it's not an adaptation it's high budget fanfiction, it's not an adaptation it's high budget fanfiction

[marshmallowgoop]

It seems you're mixing the dub audio with remastered footage which I was planning on doing but are you actually gonna upload full episodes anywhere?

I don't share much information about the project on Tumblr, but I talk about it more on Discord!

My workbench in the DCMK Fanworks Server (join link here) has the most comprehensive and up-to-date info, but I also post updates in the Detective Conan EN Community (join link here). As of right now, I've mixed Episodes 1-71, 76-78, and 118.

That said: I would be very happy if anyone else would like to take over! I am very slow 😅

This episode had so many turns, even though it was a combat episode. It was an interesting listen because I listened to it 3 times today (the hyperfixation is real, y'all) and still feel like I haven't fully processed it. I think it's because I can usually sit back more for combat-heavy episodes.

First, we get Dood. He is adorable. Like, I don't blame the players for treating them like the squishy baby he is. I can't wait to get more Dood.

Then, we get some wonderful kiddad moments. Mostly with Lark, which makes sense, because, you know, this is his whole thing. The moment with Lark and Normal was soooo gooood. Thank you Will Campos for that.

But all the stuff with Nicky has been hilarious the past couple of episodes - Wait! How is Nick with them? He was at Cassandra's house?

Then there's Willy. (And Anthony's frustration). Anthony clearly had plans. So first, he tries to just persuade the Doodler. That fails. So, ok, he'll use Dominate Beast. Linc dispels it. Oooookaaay, so now he'll convince it to become corporeal. Cool. That works. Now it's collar time. But wait. Linc is grappling him. And by the way, all the minions in the fight get sent away from Scary's Mass Suggestion (that's what Willy gets for powering up our girl boss). And then it's like, ok, I can't just have Willy get killed. He's the Big Bad. I guess it's time to bamf him out of here. It's weird to be rooting for all these bad things to happen to Willy while feeling bad that it's ruining Anthony's plans. Alas, we shall have to just dread what the horrible man is going to do next.

Finally, Ron. Like... what??? I think there was a general feeling that he was going to come back in some capacity, but... he's in heaven? And he's been sending messages to Terry? Why hasn't Terry been getting them? (Glad to see Mae Hales back by the way).

So... I still don't know where this show is headed. Are we heading into the "grandparent" arc? Maybe we'll do some more realm hopping to find all the grandparents? (Is Heaven the Ethereal Plane?) Is Dood just a part of the party? What awaits everyone back in the Forgotten Realms?

I'm really curious what the next episode is going to be. I'm hoping it will be the "here's what the next arc looks like" that I was hoping today's episode was going to be.

Things I wonder:

I wonder why Dood didn't recognize Lark and Sparrow. It lived inside of them for a while, you'd think it would recognize them.

Why is Mae Hales just now getting all these messages from Ron? Really trying not to think about how Ron's been trying to tell Terry how much he loved him for 27 years and none of them got through?

What are the kiddads going to do now? Are they all gonna travel as a big party? They can't go after Willy - they're not allowed to hurt him.

What's going to happen with Cassandra?

I am once again thinking about The Poor Kid

[broke-on-books]

Am I ACTUALLY going to skip class next week to raodtrip 3hrs to my friends house so we can watch star wars with her DAD

[has-brain-rot]

There’s something ironic about the fact that we finally got a Hunter hand reveal and his hands are just.. hands. No scars, no marks, nothing extremely noticeable. But like, now his hands are one of his only parts that aren’t scarred.

[lovelaceisntdead]

We finished the lesbian baseball show. I promise I'm trying really hard to be normal about it.

[running-in-the-dark]

normally I'm not a fan of clip show episodes buuut I'm really enjoying the ones in season 6 of Night Court.

not just because of all the Dan stuff but... okay only 99% because of that.

also "not sleazy but ethically questionable in regards to women" - oh Daaan 🙄

[lenievi]

every time I see people complain about how snw finale Kirk was subdued and too serious, I have to wonder what Kirk they’re comparing him to because it sure can’t be early tos!Kirk

also like you can’t expect him to be too self-important and arrogant when there is a senior captain (not to say he didn’t come across as arrogant lol). plus, you can’t expect him to smile when his ship was destroyed....

me and my friend have been watching supernatural together for over a year and we're only on season 11
