Cede Your Soul: JANE HAD A SEx DREAM AND IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT KURT, NO QUESTION WITHOUT EVEN SEEING A FACE LOL. (oh....shit i just realized she told Borden that, who would have told Shepherd, who would have known exactly how intimate Jane felt about Kurt.)

Sent on Tour: Jane punches Saul Guerrero in the face for threatening to kill Kurt.

Persecute Envoys: Jane thinks Kurt went deaf and then he fucks with her and it’s A REAL ADORABLE MOMENT. Kurt to Jane: “You never stop, do you?”

Devil Never Even Lived:  Jane shows up at Kurt’s apartment with his FAVORITE BEER. She can identify teen Kurt from a  yearbook photo in 2 seconds.

(On a sidenote) Re-watching Blindspot S1

(On request of Jan31 ;))

I didn’t become a Blindspot fan right away (and as usual, I don’t ship. I guess I’m not made for shipping. :D) I was looking for a new series that would distract me from the terrible writing of The Blacklist, and I watched several pilots of new shows. The only interesting was the Blindspot pilot (stuff like Quantico or Timeless that started at the same time fell through), even though the mythology reminded me a lot of TBL and I wasn’t intrigued by the main characters at all.

But it was somehow interesting enough to keep me watching. I had some hard times because the characters (Weller, Jane, Zapata, Read--they all seemed pretty bland to me; I only liked Mayfair and Patterson) wouldn’t grow on me and I didn’t like the thing with the “tattoo of the week” that much. There were several times when I was about to give up on Blindspot, especially after the next long break. And yet, I still came back every time because I wanted to know where they would go.

It changed with one of the best series finales I’ve ever seen when things started to fall in place, picking up speed, allowing the characters to develop. After the last episode, I thought, “Wow! Cool!”

I re-watched S1 during hiatus and noticed that most of the parts that felt dragging were because of the breaks. Blindspot is more like a long movie than a series. It’s a Binge watch thing. The “tattoo of the week” still didn’t intrigue me (and still felt a little like a filler in order to stretch the back story over an entire season), but the back story was really well-written and the way they wrapped / speeded up things toward the finale was excellent. Kudos!

I enjoyed S2 a lot more, but more about S2 after re-watching it. ;)

 A little ranking after recently re-watching S1 again

Favorite episodes

- One Begets Technique (18), the second episode with Rich DotCom, different, hilarious, smart

- Authentic Flirt (9), the first episode with Rich

- If Love A Rebel, Death Will Render (22) & Why Await Life’s End, the two final episodes, even though it meant to lose Mayfair

- Mans Telepathic Loyal Lookouts (17), the Patterson “solo”

- Of Whose Uneasy Route (21), the beginning of the end, so to speak

- Pilot, and the beginning of it all

- Swift Hardhearted Stone (20), things begin to fall in place

Somewhere between loved and okay episodes

- Eight Slim Grins (3), Sent On Tour (7), Persecute Envoys (8), Evil Handmade Instrument (10), Rules In Defiance (14), Older Cutthroat Canyon (15), In The Comet Of Us (19)--though I later liked the Johnson storyline, I wasn’t thrilled by the case in this episode; on the other hand, it also set many things in motion.

Not so keen on (not bad, just no favorites)

- A Stray Howl (2), Bone May Rot (4), Split The Law (5), Cede Your Soul (6)--even though I liked Ana--Cease Forcing Enemy (11), Scientist Hollow Fortune (12), Erase Weary Youth (13), Any Wounded Thief (16)

So, why One Begets Technique? It’s not only because of Rich. It’s also because he comes up with a smart plan and plays them without making them look stupid. It’s something I wanted for TBL, but TBL writers are too stupid to pull off something like that. And it’s because it gives the characters a... well, a character. One point I was fighting with in S1 was that the characters often felt a little wooden and flat. They were so tight up in the storyline that they sometimes could hardly move. A character like Rich breaks the pattern, which gives everyone room to develop, show new facets.

The same applies to Authentic Flirt, but also to the two final episodes when all hell breaks loose and the characters have to decide who they want to be, on which side they want to be. That’s what makes these episodes more interesting than others--which doesn’t mean that the others are bad! It’s about breaking the formula--and that’s also the reason I liked S2 better. The writers gave up (had to give up) the (sometimes too steady) formula (of solving the tattoos) and move into uncharted waters. It’s more interesting from a story-wise point of view.

Blindspot // Swift Hardhearted Stone - Great Dad

[marap]

Blindspot ramblings:

+ Yes, about time! Finally Jane is being Jane and doing some investigating into Oscar. She’s not being all OOC swoony like last week. Which is a bit weird from a continuity, storyline point of view, but I am too glad to care.

+ Ew to the cut out tongue. Could’ve done without that info.

+ The reasoning for getting them to that cabin was pretty contrived.

+ WHY WOULD KURT AND JANE GO AND GET THE GROCERIES??? Send the two who aren’t badass-ninja-like-supercops.

+ Except Patterson is pretty badass and can hold her own, CLEARLY! I like how her badassery is rooted in her intelligence.

+ While watching, I said “Patterson, blowing up a guy’s inheritance isn’t the best way to say that you like him”. I was glad this (kinda) came into play with Patterson and Borden’s cute scene at the end where she apologised for blowing up his house. Good story to tell the grandkids, though.

+ What’s their ship name? Pardon? HA. Don’t mind me, just amusing myself. It’s sad, I know.

+ I didn’t like Mayfair’s new love interest (mainly because I thought she was just way too convenient, unless that is the point and means something but I highly doubt it) but that was harsh, writers!

+ Why not just kill Mayfair, though? Like, unless you need the person to do something and thus need them alive, wouldn’t it just be easier to kill the person you actually have the issue with? Threatening loved one’s lives is a way around having to actually kill anyone / get your hands dirty, but if they were going to bother to kill someone, why not just kill the person themselves? I realise this read like I was giving advice. Oops. I am not, I just watch too much true crime.

+ SAWYER. How are you so cute?

+ HEARTEYES KURT. How are you so, so cute?

+ ALL THE JELLER MADE ME HAPPY.

+ Jane! So flirty with the “someone special gave it to me.” Flirty with Kurt is allowed. Swooning over a somewhat creepy, deceptive guy in a random grotty basement is not.

+ PROMO. SWOON.
