Well, sorry, but three musketeers shenanigans were just more fun than McGee and Delilah talking about kitchen remodel.

....or is it just me....

god that scene in damned if you do where mcgee hacks parsons and confesses that he’s dating delilah to tony and ziva makes me so fucking emo man for soooo many reasons !! like

a.) tony and ziva being all questiony parents about how mcgee got the info and then tony realizes he’s getting some and mcgee gets all smug and ziva putting her head on his shoulders !! and the way she says delilah !! and tony giving mcgee a forehead kiss !! and this entire conversation has literally no regard for personal space their heads are all basically touching lmao

b.) I mean that butt slap 😏

c.) it’s one of the last three musketeers moments of them being dumbasses in the squadroom 🥺

d.) the fact that ziva never got to meet delilah/see mcgee with her or go on cute little double dates with her and tony cause they would have been so fun together and we missed out big time on this foursome

I feel like this is a problem in other places as well. People have been doing things for years but suddenly in interviews: "I am the first this and that. We are finally overthrowing this and that...as if there was nobody before them.

I truly fucking despise the new season of Doctor Who being promoted as one that will be unique for showing the Doctor's queerness or whatever the fuck. There's this attitude under all this promo like the 15th Doctor is the first queer Doctor as if a) the 9th Doctor didn't kiss a man b) the Doctor didn't canonically change genders and c) when they were a woman was CANONICALLY in love with another woman. like HELLO??? I don't even like 13 and yaz that much and think they should've been written better, but there's something so misogynistic and revisionist about people acting like David Tennant saying Isaac Newton was hot in the anniversary special is "confirming the Doctor is queer" or that Ncuti's doctor will be the first queer Doctor. like...i hate it. This whole line of marketing reeks of Disney's "first Gay™" style marketing and I fucking hate it.

MARY: I’ve been studying the story of Andromeda; do you know it? MATTHEW: Why? MARY: Her father was King Cepheus, whose country was being ravaged by storms. And, in the end, he decided the only way to appease the gods was to sacrifice his eldest daughter to a hideous sea monster. So they chained her, naked, to a rock– MATTHEW: But the sea monster didn’t get her, did he? MARY: No. Just when it seemed he was the only solution to her father’s problems, she was rescued- MATTHEW: -By Perseus. MARY: That’s right. Perseus. Son of a god. Rather more fitting, wouldn’t you say? MATTHEW: That depends. I’d have to know more about the princess and the sea monster in question.

#oof #that was nasty of her #but I bet they laughed about it when they were married

TNG Original Costume Tests: Deanna Troi

I don’t have the actual documentary, just the Trekcore caps, so forgive me if I miss anything, and feel free to add on if you have more info!

Deanna had some great cut hairstyles, as well as some different contacts! Let’s dive in!

I really like this style! I love the little curls around the face. Also, I’m fascinated by that hair clip thing— it’s kinda unclear what it’s made of. If anyone has any info, pipe up! Her lipstick seems to get progressively darker over the first two seasons; it’s pretty close to this in Farpoint, but by Naked Now it’s already darker to go with her blue jumpsuit, and it changes again to even darker when the burgundy jumpsuit arrives in the second season. Contrariwise, her blue eyeshadow is a lot more prominent here than even in Farpoint. Channeling Spock and matching her department colour, I suppose.

I think I like the side view a lot more than the front view— that sparkly accent kind of gets lost in the hair in this view. The curls are still cute though! It’s also clearer in this picture the options for the Betazoid eyes. I didn’t notice it until someone pointed it out on Lon Suder, and now I can’t unsee it: Betazoids tend to have very large, very dark irises. Marina Sirtis’s actual eyes are a lot lighter than either option here.

The next hair option is this sleek bun. I think the decorations here are really pretty from the side, and again, less so from the front. I love the naturalistic design of those gold leafy patterns!

It looks a bit awkward from the front because of where the ends of the hair ornament fall. I think it might be nice if the top ones came over the front a bit more; I think the design would be clearer from all angles that way.

It looks like there’s a cool twisted or braided aspect to the bun, which I wish was easier to see! The side view also shows how far back the eyeshadow goes on this style. I think it looks pretty nice! It's a little closer to the style she gets later in the season, though more pulled back.

And this test is basically what made it on screen at Farpoint. This isn’t my favourite Troi hairstyle; the sparkly braided headband is cute, but maybe a little chunky and I think it has too many colours. I prefer the more defined loose curls she gets later to the loose frizz here. 

Including this last picture mainly for the smile! Though you can also see how the eyeshadow was toned down from the other tests.
