TOWL Ep 1

Absolutely Speechless. 😭 I know I’ll find all the words for how much I adored this premiere eventually but for right now…just utter awe. Everything was INCREDIBLE. Andy and Danai's performance in ep 1 was excellent and quite truly what dreams are made of. Also I literally, not figuratively, literally stopped breathing several times from the heart-swelling emotion throughout.

I’m gonna eat 5 more of these dinners episodes, okay? 😊🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕💍

#towl ep 1 #Andy & Danai the royalty that you are 👑🙌🏽 #Rick and Michonne Grimes are soulmates in any reality #of all the things I was hoping for I thought a wedding ring nod might've been a wish that would remain just that - but TOWL delivered ep 1! #I wasn't expecting that episode-ending moment to come so soon in the series!! The way I nearly fainted 🫠 Let this 6-course meal continue 🍽 #richonne #twd towl #the ones who live

this torture we're going through with the anime must be divine karma for slandering Bones all this time...... they said "oh, you don't like how we adapt things? you say the manga does it better?? okay then, well now there is no more manga. it's Bones or bust, bitches."

#bungou stray dogs #they really said now either you get the story from us or you don't get it at all 😭😭😭😭💀 #screaming crying throwing up shaking HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CARRY ON FOR THE NEXT WEEK LIKE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL #NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK 'TWILIGHT FAREWELL' MEANS #NOT EVEN A FULL WEEK BUT FIVE DAYS CAUSE THE PV ALONE WILL END ME #seriously though how can i be okay with getting canon content for the first time in the ANIME #they already do terribly with content that ALREADY EXISTS #HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL GETTING /NEW CONTENT/ THROUGH /BONES/ #i guess looking at it another way though...... i should be glad if they deliver me some fucking hope a few weeks early #like obviously i'd rather none of this have happened and have gotten to this point in the last episode in the manga first #but since it did turn out this way....... if good things happen i'll take it i can't complain at this point just GIVE ME HOPE #mexican standoff with bones now that there's (basically) no manga content left like 'so it is down to you and it is down to me' #bones at the end of the fucking bsd world: 'never thought i'd be fighting side by side with a bsd anime hater' #me: 'how about side by side with a friend?' #bones: 'aye i can do that'

Stargate SG-1 is so good. I love it so much 🥺

#might spam you over the week. i think i'll use it to get a distance from snw for a while #i mean i'll watch the kirk-uhura episode on friday but maybe kirk will disappoint me and since the episode after is the xover #i might just... wait until the season is finished or something #(i mean i don't think kirk will disappoint me since the bits in the trailers sounded good... but you never know lol) #it's not that season 2 is bad but i want less spock and i don't think that's happening any time soon #hopefully he won't really have a big role in uhura's episode but then again they might finally introduce him and uhura and the lute who even #knows #which is obviously what i have wanted ever since the announcement but me and spock have a complicated relationship atm lol #i should forget about spock #i hope the transporter scene with kirk and la'an is happening #i hope that kirk's smile when he beams aboard is aimed at la'an #even if that was the only scene they'd share in that episode i'd be content #but the trailer could lie to me #even though so far the trailers actually delivered what was 'promised' #in s1 they felt more misleading but this time what i thought was happening in the trailers happened in the show so far #anyway #stargate is good :D #leni's nonsense

Was it a good idea to start the glory after midnight? No. I can see myself binging this without sleeping

#the glory #glory text #i hope the revenge is satisfying #the other revenge drama a few months back delivered till episode 15 and then botched it on the last episode #so these days i am wary of revenge dramas #fucking deliver damnit #give me that sweet revenge

Gonna say something potentially controversial:

I think Heartcatch suffers from the Up phenomenon in that people remember it as an excellent, if not flawless masterpiece when it actually has One (1) excellent, if not flawless moment in the beginning and is otherwise nothing special.

#pretty cure #babs' musings #precure: heartcatch #i remember sitting there watching 4 episodes at a time and asking myself “so when does it get as Great as people say” #i admire how different it is in tone and style to other seasons. it really stands out in that regard! #but that doesn't make it automatically better (or worse) than other seasons #it was funnier. #but the story? really underwhelming imo #the only notable part about the plot was the very first scene that set the intrigue and mystery of Yuri's character #but what they deliver on that front was extremely disappointing for me #and all the other characters get pretty mid arcs as well #Tsubomi has anxiety about not being good at anything. nothing comes of that besides one or two insults from the villains. #Itsuki has to crossdress in order to continue the family business because her brother has vague illness #that's never confronted in any satisfying way. it just sorta fades away once she decides she likes being a girl #Erika's insecurity regarding her sister is honestly the most engaging of these arcs and that's because I have a little sister #I suppose I set my expectations too high for that season. but people call it The Best Precure Season when it's not even in my top 3 so far #and that's kinda concerning for me going forward #suite is also proving to be a huge bore for me. extremely artificial season going through the motions of the franchise #Hummy... save me. Hummy. Save me Hummy #I really don't want to struggle through 13 more unremarkable seasons in the hopes of recapturing the magic of Futari Wa and Fresh #argh. i hate not liking things #sorry for the rant in the tags.

Watching Last Salute to the Commodore right now and, well, I have already been warned about this episode. It's all true. It feels like a weird fever dream. It just makes more sense if you assume everyone is on drugs the entire time.

#dang I hope the next eps deliver #season 5 has been kinda eeeh so far #but I know of at least 1 absolute banger still waiting for me so I know there's something to look forward to #also I kinda wanna go back already and rewatch murder by the book and some others #columbo #wtf is this episode though lol

[blmpff]

So I'm doing the new "Timeline Reflection" quest in D2, and while I do appreciate this feature being added for New Lights... it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth, in its current form at least.

So, being able to replay an altered version of the Prison of Elders mission from the Forsaken opening is good! I think it's very useful to new players to at least get context for Cayde's death considering how significant it is. Would I prefer Forsaken to still be in the game? Obviously. But this is at least giving New Lights some much needed context so it's still good.

But here's where my problem starts. Timeline Reflection only has missions for Forsaken, Beyond Light, and Witch Queen. The three other vaulted campaigns don't get anything. That frustrates me quite a bit. I think there's more value in using Timeline Reflection to contexualise content that's not in the game rather than content that still is.

Beyond that, my larger issue with this feature for expansions that are still in the game is a simple question: why is it even necessary? And there are two answers to that question.

First, replaying old content is a very limited feature. You can replay Witch Queen and Lightfall... but not Beyond Light or Shadowkeep. If you want to redo the BL story, you need to either make a new character, or watch it on someone's youtube channel.

Second, and I think this is more significant, each expansion is a completely separate purchase. Buying the latest expansion does not give you access to prior expansions, and there's no requirement to play preceding content before doing the latest set.

Now, I have a lot of problems with the fact that D2's expacs are isolated from one another. It makes the game more expensive for people who want the whole story, or even just all the gameplay content. I think it's having a negative impact on the game's writing. And it also makes the story much less accessible to new players.

A New Light can show up next year, buy The Final Shape, and be thrown into a story built on years of narrative that the game, on a structural level, indicates they don't need to care about. After all, if these other stories were so important to TFS... why does the game not tell you to play them first?

And so, Timeline Reflection is necessary because without it New Players, or even just players who've been away for a while, will be lost.

But the actual problem with D2's structure still exists.

#destiny 2 #long post #part of this is influenced by me playing ff14 which #also just resolved a 10 year plotline #and like #i could not comprehend them coming out and saying “yeah you can just buy Endwalker you dont need to do any of the other content first” #anyway at this point i can only hope that bungie restructures how they deliver content going forward #which... the episode thing seems like they're doing? #but yeah

tbh i feel like we're all maybe forgetting that 6A was kind of destined to be a little bit boring or slow-paced from the get-go because of how 5B ended so *perfectly* with everything tied up in a neat little bow. i mean 5x18 was literally called "starting over," and this is a show that (for better or for worse, this specific post is not pro-911s-pacing or anti-911s-pacing but a secret third thing, confused-and-trying-to-make-sense-of 911s-pacing) routinely and consistently takes right around ~10 episodes to cash in on big narrative plot points. not situational or episode specific or more technical plot points, like madney going from unsuccessful house hunting to finding a place within 2 episodes, or buck agreeing to be a sperm donor inside of 1 episode- those are typically resolved pretty quickly, within an episode or two. the show scaffolds these more-quickly-resolved plot points together into larger, more character driven arcs that typically always take around ten episodes for the full emotional fallout and significance to play out. 911 has always been a show where what happens matters a hell of a lot less to the story than how the characters feel about what happens, so because this is such a character driven show, inside of those ten set-up, pawns-on-the-chessboard episodes, it can be pretty difficult at times to figure out what they're angling at, or where they're planning on going (buck! where the hell are you going!), or how any of the plots are going to coalesce into something useful, profound, and cohesive. typically, the B season ends with at least a *couple* of loose threads that carry over into the arc-resolution-conclusion phase in the following A season, giving us an A season that's like 70% setup for new arcs and 30% wrapup of old arcs- but 5B ended on a true blank slate, so almost *everything* in 6A (with the exception of the conclusion to hen's super-drawn-out-but-very-realistically-paced med school arc) has been... scaffolding from the ground up.

and scaffolding looks pretty unimpressive and odd and boring on its own, like a big pile of ugly junk getting in the way of everything, but put it alongside the Sistine chapel ceiling it was built to accomplish, and suddenly it seems a little more worthwhile.

#this is just some food for thought! I've felt that 6a was good but kinda boring at times #thinking about how much of a blank slate starting over gave us was rather illuminating #911 #911 meta #again! this is just me making sense of things it's not me trying to throw stones in any particular direction or make any kind of assertion #this is just my hunch #here's hoping 6B delivers and i have a feeling it will!!! #6A being 9 episodes really just feels like edging lmfao nyfxtnrnsbtd like cutting us off right when things are about to get crazy #which makes me think 6x10 is like. A Big Pivot Episode that couldn't hang on its own for 4 months with no followup #bucks leg injury -> tsunami -> lawsuit -> rejoining the 118 was like 7 or 8 episodes #eddies panic attacks -> ana breakup -> quitting the 118 -> therapy -> breakdown arc was like 11 or 12 eps #(also can we talk about how that arc started with him lying to buck about his mental health and ended with buck helping him with it) #there's more examples but im tired and need to go make dinner so. anyway #a 9 episode A-half coming on the heels of a wrapping-everything-up B finale #just kind of left them with. very minimal runway in which they could pull off any real satisfying conclusions to narrative arcs #while staying true to this 10-episode rhythm they seem to have settled on! #again: for better or for worse! like it or not this show is consistent in *how* it is written. when it comes to like. methodology

What an ending though "I'm not seeing your father's oncologist" does Harry know how his father died???? (I mean they probably said at the start of the episode honestly I have a memory of a fish)

#laura watches five bedrooms #she said it like she a) knew that harry wouldn't have known about the father's illness or b) mixed up oncology with like optometrist #I HOPE #It was such a well delivered line #great response #like she knows an oncologist personally or something #it's brilliant #i love this show #there's only three episodes in season 4 though???? is that because they just released 3 episodes early? #and the rest comes on the original air date of 21st????? #by 'the rest' i mean 4743553453 episodes #please never end #enough episodes to get me through till the newsreader season 2 please
