#time in a bottle

[velvet4510]

“All those years wasted fighting each other, Charles … to have a precious few of them back …” is one of THE most romantic lines in movie history and I don’t get how anybody can possibly be blind to their being in love when these are canonical words, spoken in the most passionate and profound delivery by Sir Ian McKellen (the LONGING in his voice, you guys), followed by Sir Patrick Stewart managing to convey a million different emotions without moving a single facial muscle in the reaction shots, and then a closeup of their hands perfectly fitting together like puzzle pieces. This is some Wuthering Heights-level yearning; it ain’t subtle. I’ve heard some people say this doesn’t really count as an apology, and those people have zero media literacy; this is an even MORE powerful statement than either “I’m sorry” or “I love you” could ever be. It’s the echo of the theme of “Time in a Bottle,” which not so coincidentally earlier played in the scene where the two of them are saved from a brutal death by their son in the past. It’s a perfect summary of the entire tragedy and beauty of their relationship.

Just a passing comment but the cinematography of Agatha All Along is frequently absolutely stunning. Just goes to show what you can do with a low budget but a lot of creative imagination. You can see the genuine love that went into making it. Plus, Patti Lupone and the nonlinear narrative made that last episode the best so far. Ouch.

And the end credits song being the one in X-Men: Days of Future Past … Peter Maximoff’s best scene? A lovely homage and a connection to the time theme. And that’s how you do Easter eggs.

The thing about Agatha All Along is they KNOW how to pick credit music. God Damn

[velvet4510]

The fact that all of Erik’s greatest fears about humanity’s response to mutantkind come true in the dark Sentinel future, and yet when he and Charles end up cornered about to die while waiting for the timeline to be changed, rather than express hope that mutants will have better lives in the new timeline, Erik’s last words instead express hope that he will have more time with Charles.

The fact that in his last moments, more time with Charles is what Erik wants most, even more than peace for mutantkind.

The fact that he admits all those years without Charles were a waste, that his life was wasted because he chose to spend it away from Charles.

The fact that having a life with Charles is the possibility that makes everything worth it for him, even more so than this new hope for his kind.

The fact that he ensures Charles knows that if he could save time in a bottle, the first thing he’d like to do is save every day till eternity passes away just to spend them with his beloved telepath…

If I could save time in a bottle

The first thing that I’d like to do Is to save every day ‘til eternity Passes away The music droned softly in the background as Spock and Y/N sat quietly in their shared quarters. Y/N sat on the floor in front of Spock, who sat on the couch reading. He would occasionally look over at Y/N as he his hand over their back and through their hair. Just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true Y/N sat with a magazine in their lap, folded open to a crossword puzzle. “Hmm” they muttered softly and tucked their pencil behind their ear. “What is it, T’hy’la?” Spock questioned in a low tone as he looked over the edge of his book. “Eight letter word for an athletic field” Y/N said, scratching the back of their neck. “A puzzle indeed, I believe ‘coaching’ would fit the given parameters” Spock informed lovingly as he took extra care to scratch Y/N’s scalp before going back to reading. I’d save every day like a treasure and then Again, I would spend them with you If ever there was a moment Spock wanted to freeze and live in forever, it would be this one. Just him and Y/N.

I would have made it longer but that seemed as good a place to stop as any, also ya know, 222
