God I love lifeboat. So much.

Daniel comes back, he's been back and slowly regaining memories for weeks. Then he just comes back again seemingly amnesiac and anxious. Janet instantly jumping in to ease the fear. And then not taking any shit from the many non Daniels. And how she's so gentle with the pleasant ones. I love her.

Both Teryl and Shanks absolutely killed it. And shoutout to Shanks for coming back to sg1 we wouldn't have got this had he not returned. Thank you sir

the ATLA live action series is... actually very good??? I really didn't expect that.

(spoilers in the tags- beware!)

genuinely i think (one of) the biggest problems about the finale of fopanw is that nobody is willing to understand what dev is going through or gives him sympathy, and any sympathy that IS shown or anytime their thoughts are challenged, its undercut with jokes constantly. its so frustrating having the adults around him constantly being like yep you suck and if youre good its buried way deep i guess <3 as if he isnt like, a 10 year old being influence by an adult that is a criminal

its just so weird tonally because its like they want you to sympathize with dev and are absolutely aware hes a sad case, but still make jokes and put so much blame fully on him for his behavior as if every adult around him didnt fail him, INCLUDING peri

i feel so silly because i just realized the steven-lapis “what if something bad happens”/“what if something good happens” exchange in can’t go back is a callback to “that’s why we can’t fight them”/“that’s why we have to fight them” in jailbreak

pokeani moments that exist purely to make Me miserable:

the line where they call ash's oshawott a throwaway pokemon in the unova league so they're just flat out saying they think it's a worthless pokemon

to thine own pokemon be true (extra angst points for me bc ambipom was my second favorite on the team at the time)

the granddaughter of the guy who trains gliscor calling gliscor pathetic and weak to her face despite gliscor being an extremely sensitive pokemon

pretty much everything about that gible

blue episode (favorite color but they made it a fetish somehow and also dewott and brionne and meowstic are all there and its so bad)

boxing heracross immediately. also that battle frontier episode where it's literally the only returning ash mon (barring torkoal i think but i dont count it bc its native to AG) to get humiliated onscreen

pidgeot returning but gliscor didn't even show up in the miniseries despite being an Actual Character

hibike euphonium s3 ep 12 - HOLY SHIT

i was doing the "can i guess who's who" and from both narrative and sound editing and in-universe-vote perspective i was pretty sure kumiko was the second player so when rEINA PICKED THE FIRST-

Aabria Iyengar i am kissing you on the fucking mouth. i am outside your house with a gun. i am tattooing your name on the inside of my lungs

okay yeah i get the hype around heartbeat hospital now

zach reino saying "maybe we're just a bunch of men that want to be in a big pile" changed me as a person

[goldenkid]

people comparing wild blue yonder to midnight like yeah they're both good scary and unsettling BUT the huge fundamental difference between them is that wild blue yonder is about being trapped in a huge empty space with your friend and this scary thing that wants to kill you and not recognising your friend/your friend not recognising you, whereas midnight is about being trapped in this tiny space with a group of strangers and an unknowable entity and instead of fear of not knowing your friend the fear comes from the doctor not having ANY friends there, from the paranoia and mob mentality. it's a very group-focused story as opposed to wby which is only really commenting on the doctor and donna and their relationship.

there are obvs lots of similarities: twisted reflections, a monster that we never truly see or understand, a 'bottle episode' set in one location, unease and building tension and fear, paranoia, but to me at least wild blue yonder is about friendship and being with your friend but also maybe not with them, and worry that maybe you don't know this person that you love as well as you wanted to think you did...but midnight is very much about not having any friends or allies, and how groups can dissolve into paranoia and blame. wby has no 'one-off' characters whereas in midnight the one-off characters are everything. in wby you're alone in this maze of rooms and corridors...in midnight you're trapped with other people in this tiny little shuttle

tldr midnight is very mob mentality/'little pocket of humanity' focused whereas wby is all about the doctor and donna's relationship, and the different sets - one small and crowded, the other huge and empty - show this off pretty well

"captain stottlemeyer, please it's an emergency!"

how many near heart-attacks has natalie given the captain whenever something happens to monk, i wonder.

the charmac + old lady house combination is truly the perfect set up for the most annoying roadtrip ever i cant WAIT

I'm starting to agree with other ben 1O veterans that people who haven't watched the show in like a decade bringing up the mpreg episode is annoying. It's like every single day now at least one person says it and it's like, we know. We been knew. That episode is OVER a decade old. Please try to remember more than one of over 200 episodes. It's exhausting when it's the only episode people talk about and only say "wow that was fucked up". Like, next person that says it needs to write an essay on how and why it's fucked up just to be allowed to say it.
