love all the tmi couples POST tmi but in every single case the early relationship was in shambles like why is everyone pretending they cannot see red flags come on now. if they had friends who were actually involved and NOT each other they would be holding interventions and telling y'all to break up at every given opportunity. but no they're surrounded by people who spend their time making objectively worse romantic decisions so they do too. and yes this applies to everyone
If I had a nickel for every time the song “Yellow” by Coldplay was performed in a piece of media in a way that was significant to the character it was played for, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s really sweet it’s happened twice
TUA s3ep9 thoughts: just one more before I the new season and I have to avoid Internet spoilers for s4 as hard as I can. (Commentary will come eventually, but I don't want to rush through the last season.) And since I haven't mentioned it... spoilers for s3 follow. Ahem.
The end of s3 is so so good, I love so many scenes. I know people are crazy about the Wedding at the End of the World, but the episode following it has many of my favorite scenes of the season. It's excellent despite how insane the entire debate they're having in it is.
The opening with a glimpse of Luther on the moon puts what happened to him in such vivid context. By far one of the best Luther montages. If you don't feel for him idk what to do with you.
Interesting how Viktor has adopted using Harlan's tapes of random noises to stay calm after his death. I wonder if it has something to do with the extra marigold that he took back from him, or the training they did, that's making his powers louder? You wonder if that's going to come back around when they get their powers back in s4.
Of course the scene of Five and Reggie talking on a ledge while the universe collapses around them is fantastic. There's a reason I made my Tumblr layout from this, I adore watching the tension between them and their truly fascinating dynamics. "You ruined your life once before by not listening to me, are you prepared to do it again?" is such a burn, and Five's reaction is perfect. Love you Reggie, you're such an asshole.
I know the entire episode Allison is trying her damndest to manipulate her family into saving the universe, but you know... how hard can you judge her when they're voting if they should die or not? YOU SILLY KIDS. (Although I do love that the only person Five will listen to without question is himself. 'Well, I don't get it, but future-me said we should die, so what can you do?')
You say it's sweet that they're choosing to face the end of the world together, I say it's sad that even when they accept their fate they all storm off in different directions.
Luther dying on the rug that's made to look like a moon as his blood spreads + the way Klaus is shot before his death are some fantastic visuals. Klaus even manages to mirror Pogo's death in s1. The fade to white when everything is erased. This is the kind of thing that sticks with you. Good stuff.
(this live is quite literally everything i love it)
A song that makes you sad
