Xena Warrior Princess 3x07 The Debt (2)

You mean that I should serve someone who hates me. More than that, you need to serve someone you hate. I'd rather die. You've been a dead woman for a long time now Xena, I'm offering you the chance to live.

#xena warrior princess #xwpedit #xenaedit #wlwedit #wlwsource #tvedit #dailyflicks #xena* #gif* #I am 100% on the xena/gabrielle train bc duh but man I LOVE xena's relationship with lao ma and I wish we'd seen more of it in the series... #lao ma being xena's first turning point and helping her gain her consciousness back etc is so important to me... #lao ma is described as both soft and hard and that's exactly what xena needed and yeah she loved her and admired her so much to the point #that she felt indebted to her #xena in the debt ep series is lit like that meme that's like #If Lao Ma has a million fans then I am one of them. If Lao Ma has ten fans then I am one of them. If Lao Ma has only one fan then that is me #If Lao Ma has no fans then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Lao Ma then I am against the world. #anyway I just love it - I just love the idea that dark xena came around to the point of wanting to serve this woman simply because she #believed in her and in how much of a good influence she could be 'I have been blessed or cursed to see into the souls of others. You don't k #know it yet Xena but you're a remarkable woman capable of greatness' #LIKE....... idk it just makes me insane the unconditional support the unconditional love.... anyways

Last Twilight ep 11:

#umg #umg series #umg the series #unidentified mysterious girlfriend #last twilight #last twilight the series #the thai communal wardrobe #at first I was distracted by thinking about the pink on only half of day's body #and NOT on the left side over his heart #spelling trouble for our couple #but then I realised it looked familiar #and went to hunt for it in my random screenshots folder #these eps aired almost ten months apart

I'm watching Star Wars with my roommate, she hasn't seen any of it and she is completely unspoiled I am LIVING

#i have instructed her not to talk about it with anyone or look it up or /anything/ until we're done with all three #her reactions! it's like I'm ten again! #as of the end of ep 4 she doesn't think obi wan is actually dead. she thinks he's faking #she's ehh on han but loves luke and especially leia #we're watching with subtitles because English is her second language #and every time Chewbacca says anything it's subtitled like 'arghh' and it's killing me #it's so hard to have conversations about a Thing You Know Every Detail About with someone just being exposed to it for the first time #it's the same problem i had with lotr but actually worse if you can believe it #bc i genuinely cannot remember a time when i didn't know the difference between an astromech and a protocol droid. #or which one wedge antilles is. or the cut backstory with biggs. #or the names of all the different background characters that you only learn from scouring wookiepedia at age thirteen #for the fanfic you and your sister are writing #idk #i remember what it was like to be new to lotr. not so much with star wars #I don't talk about it much on this blog but i am a huge star wars nerd with strong opinions #i had us flip back over to the despecialized edition for several of scenes (you know the ones) even though they didn't have subs available #bc like. you gotta #and then i try to explain the difference to her and realize how esoteric this stuff is in the scheme of things #idk I'm just rambling at this point #getting to introduce a friend to the art that shaped me totally rules #pontifications and creations #a star wars fan like my father before me

Panini have published a new anthology collecting all the Fourth Doctor comic strips from DWM, no doubt because the The Star Beast has been adapted.

Even though this is an obvious 60th cash in, I do hope we get more anthologies like this as many of the previous collections are now out of print. Not sure how they'll do the Fifth Doctor though since there aren't really enough stories to fill an anthology. Might be best to bundle them with the Sixth Doctor stories and release one bumper volume.

#doctor who #dw #doctor who comics #fourth doctor #fifth doctor #sixth doctor #the star beast #they'd need a couple of volumes for seven and eight's comics #because they were still officially the main doctors even when the show was hiatus #nine's would probably have to be bundled in with ten's #and then multiple volumes for ten eleven and twelve #oddly you could probably too a single anthology for thirteen #only 11 stories in five years #but that could be because they went right to fourteen in the comics after tpotd rather than wait until the new doctor's first ep aired #normally the comic doesn't change doctor until the new one's first episode airs #twelve was still starting in the comics for 9 months after tuat aired

[heyassbuttlmao]

oh god i've finally caved and started doctor who and (1) this is hysterically funny so far, and (2) why is it that i have seen a gazillion gifs of rose but i have literally never seen this doctor before in my life

#doctor who #i'm only like ten minutes into the first ep so far but it's fun

[kaiayame]

my genuine only complaint about the tlou show is that it 10000% needed to be longer.

#and not just because i want more #it needed to be at least ten eps #nine is like. genuinely too short #i know we're getting another season #but like. i think it just needed at least one more ep to flesh out the first game's story. #ideally twelve eps might be great #but I'm like. very serious about there needing to be 10 min. #also. i don't really care about whether or not infected are around much #but they were used in the first half pretty well and like. i feel like there's been maybe zero infected for the past.... 3 full eps? #which is a little weird #i get that people are a big threat in this world. #but like. the zombies are a thing... they matter to the atmosphere and stuff #I'm telling you. it needed ten eps. #i literally can't believe there's only one ep left. #ESPECIALLY because they included Left Behind. #as a full ep #which was awesome #but #..... yeah. 10. #......or 12

sideshow bob is the funniest fucker alive. his nemesis is a ten year old, who put him in jail for the crime he LITERALLY committed. he’s not above child murder, or just murder in general. he used to hate krusty, but apparently bart takes first place after he puts him in jail, again, for the crime he LITERALLY committed!! he’s insane <3

#love him getting mad when he literally did it imaoooo #i know it’s more the fact that he didn’t get away with the crime as he wanted to #also in cape feare when he’s sending threatening letters to bart #like sir first of all that’s a ten year old #second of all was he supposed to let you murder his aunt???? #there’s many bob eps and at this point it’s like is bob still mad about the original failed crime or is he mad for the whole stack of other #bart has stopped him from committing? #i think it’s the latter bc yeah bart is making it worse for himself in bob’s eyes but also he’s not gonna let bob get away with whatever #plan he’s got??? #especially when it’s murdering him or a family member #i can’t remember if there’s an episode which further explores his and krusty’s relationship and his jealousy of mel #i feel like he and mel should talk they have a lot in common ie. loving and idolising a man who treats them like shit #see: bob framing krusty in the first place bc he’d finally had enough #i suppose the only difference is mel always seems to go back #see: him claiming he won’t return for the comeback special but he still does anyways #it’s just an interesting dynamic krusty has with the sideshows that i feel should get explored more #like i love krusty but the whole point is he kinda sucks like he’s not super great at times but it’s sometimes glossed over #there’s nuance to the bob framing him stuff but nonetheless #am i making simpsons too deep? perhaps but 💁🏻‍♀️ #gwen rambles #gwenposting #simp(son) posting

#so because i hate myself obviously i decided to finally finish naruto. after all those years. it was time #and damn you guys. and here i mean you guys who love this show. i would like to ask you how #i skipped all the filler eps for my own sanity (thank you anime filler list i owe you several hours of my life) #i have seen the first 250eps or so when it was still freshly coming out all those *checks watch* eleven years ago. wow. horrifying. #so it only took me like 3 days since i also kept skipping all the flashback scenes. some of which i have seen at least 20 times #im not even joking. 20 times. the exact same scenes. within 100-200 eps. why and also fuck you #anyways #i have just a few more to go but i know how it ends anyways so its just a formality now but like. i have just one teeny tiny question #why the fuck. is sasuke evil again #for the ten thousandth time #yo fans of naruto. completely seriously how do you deal with this shit #i dont hate the show. it has been a huge formative anime of my childhood/adolescence. my entrance to fandom #my reason to learn english and also japanese #my reason to start drawing and writing and creating and so on and so forth #but my fucking dudes. the story writing of the show is so shit #the show couldve ended at ep 340 or so. for what reason were there fifty different plot twists #i swear no one was amazed anymore. there were no plot holes to fill i promise you. why would you keep snowballing more #''secret evil plots'' and ''actually even stronger eviler more god-like creature that wants to end humanity for whatever reason'' #this is like number one rule of good story telling. you cannot keep telling the reader actually this was all someone else's evil plan #and then keep going with the ''actually'' three more times #im so annoyed because regardless of how bad the quality of the show always was and how mediocre some of the characters were #*cough* all the women ones *cough* #i still loved the show. if nothing else for nostalgia sake #but sasuke turning evil for the nth time like 10 eps before the show ends really makes me want to throw hands #to quote my real life friend chidi anagonye: the dot above the 'i' broke me. sasuke being evil again for one last plot twist did it #his character is so empty what the hell. i cant even say that his actions are out of character bc i dont think he even has any #also now that i started shitting at the show. whats with all those bible references. why?? for what reason???? stop? #i get izanagi and izanami and a literal ep called sengoku jidai but my dude. cant you just do one? #(if i see obito's tragic backstory flashback one more fucjing time i will lose it i swear on this. or worse - turn evil!) #also if anyone of you read this whole rant im sorry but also this ones on you <3

i went through this account’s handful of videos from this show, and i’m pretty confident that’s will roland, next to harrison chad as quince, despite the view being mostly obstructed from the angle this whole time. he’s Most Visible for a moment at the very end lol. since the costuming is just a buttonup and tie w/no especial “it’s This character, or Any character” cues, i’ll guess he’s “will roland” at this point, though that doesn’t mean he wasn’t appearing in some other capacity earlier. every pre-2018 xmas wrole cited in that tweet has been accounted for, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been some of those characters more than once, as is definitely true for uncle peenie appearances

#the sixth annual show....twenty thirteen....don't know of any more specific info abt this one. like ''oh xyz pic is from then'' #i think the third annual show in twenty ten was Probably his first one / the year of peter the coffee kid but that's still technically #an informed guess as it were lol....and evidently he was in the next yr's show as the christmas burgler / also just [ensemble] #but atm so far as i know regarding definite Dates / the Year; there's only this b/w that & the twenty fifteen 8th annual show there #wherein he was uncle peenie / virgin mary dancer / belly button puppet show puppeteer / will roland At Least #was like hmm twenty twelve/thirteen was The Black Suits times; would he have been able to make it... #but the fact that harrison chad does appear to be there suggests it was entirely plausible for anyone else in the cast to be #what with him playing brandon....and lo & behold does seem to be william next to him there #but yeah can't even speculate ''is This the show in which he played [role listed as having been played but hasn't been seen elsewhere]??'' #b/c they've all been seen elsewhere at least the once #the other videos are mostly like twenty or thirty or six second increments of mostly the mister chestnut number & like one other full song #but there was like a forty second recording of Virgin Mary Ft. Her Dancers & i was like god can you imagine. i'll lose it. #by which one means be Head In Hands like keeling over a bit. but none of them was him lmao so [oh lord. imagine] averted beyond that #joe iconis christmas extravaganza #will roland #glad there's a more visible glimpse right at the end but my watching it all prior like Okay Come On Now lmfao #i mean at least it was evident most of the way that there was even a person there to go ''oh huh that could be him'' about #just still thinking about the ''mike wazowski'd but for the viewer / listener looking / listening for him'' experience from the other day #npr affiliate station ep abt gtm:pota that at least cited every oscr cast member by name w/the sole exception of will lmao. cmon #billions wide group shot showing everyone's face except whoops winston in the corner blocked by the group of extras. pointing #but w/these glimpses it's like; hey; it's Anything which is impressive; it's identifiable Enough; also hardly guaranteed. i'll take it

*gestures at all the insane posts i’ve made tonight over rewatching endverse* reasons why i CANNOT do a formal rewatch of this show. i WILL go deep and analyze everything like we’re in a university class and i WILL be unhinged abt it 

#crucially i need u all to know i didn't even really rewatch 5x04 tonight i just watched it on mute for screencapping purposes #and only turned on the volume for cas scenes and the first like 2 mins of lucifer!sam's speech #if i'd watched the WHOLE ep w the volume on well. it'd be worse #would've written like a ten page paper with citations

im making gifs :)

#ooc. #i only have ep 1 downloaded so far but ep 5 is downloading so i will have fun aesthetics to vibe with :) #i just love when things r giving jason energy it fuels me #and nothing fuels me like that lil guy in the first 10 mins of s4 who just. he gives such huge HUGE jason energy and i love him #i briefly considered changing jasons number so that he had the same number as that kid ksjdfhsdf #part of me is still considering it but number two has been so engrained in me as jason idk if ten fits as well #tho it would make sense that jason wouldnt be so close to the start bc i imagine.... that brenner would have Some Form of care for his son #and would want to make sure there were a couple positive experiments first

[belacoded]

One thing that I absokutely hate about shows written for streaming services that I don't see talked about a lot (probably bc its just a really minor and kinda annoying thing, but still) is the absolite lack of consistency in the length of episodes. How are you gping to give me 3 half hour long episodes and 5 hour long episodes all in the same season of the same tv show???

#like i wanna be able to know how long im gonna be sitting there when the new ep drops #i will give you five MAYBE ten minutes of leeway but having the first few episodes all be between 30 and 35 minutes #only to then randomly start fluxuating between like 45 and 65??? #yeah not a fan of that #pick a length and stick with it please and thank you

[three--rings]

One thing I haven't seen a lot of talk about in the fandom so far is about the financials of this season.

It took us two whole months to get a confirmation of renewal from Max, and I talked at the time that I think there was probably a lot of heated negotiations going on at the time with contracts and that's why it took as long as it did.

I think we see a huge number of indications of the compromises that were made in order for S2 to be made. One obvious one that has been talked about is being making in in NZ instead of LA, to save $.

But there's also the eight episodes instead of ten. And then the cast aspect. One downside of moving overseas was having to fly out and house the cast, not just pay day wages.

We knew immediately about Guz Khan not coming back, losing Ivan as a character. At the time I was sad but I thought it had the air of a pretty harshly practical call. If you went through the main recurring cast and said okay which character will affect the fewest things, has the least character interactions of anyone? It would be Ivan. (With the only competition being The Swede IMO, but he's Stede's crew and therefore a little more central.)

And then this season started and we got first The Swede sidelined and taken out of major scenes. And then I noticed that different members of the crew were simply absent for long stretches, like Wee John isn't around for ep 5 at all. And then Buttons takes flight.

Lucius and Pete aren't at the party for most of it. Fang isn't in the torture scene. Roach and Fang aren't in the bar. Etc. SCHEDULING IS HAPPENING.

The new characters are almost entirely played by NZ local actors, which is great, but also...cheaper.

In other words there are big signs that they did everything possible to give us a giant cast of almost everyone we love from S1, and cool new characters, in the most economical way possible.

And I'm grateful for it. I'm grateful we got S2, and it looks great, and it's well written, I'm having a blast, and we get to spend more time with this awesome cast.

But I also kinda think it needs to be said that the cost-cutting shows. That it shouldn't have been only 8 episodes, the pacing is off. That we miss every time someone from the ensemble isn't on screen.

That despite what they've put on screen looking very good, there's far less costuming budget, there's less elaborate sets, and it's a little disappointing. And it's clear it's not a lack of will or talent or vision but blatantly lack of money.

Look, streaming networks want brilliant shows that people love (that will get them to subscribe) but they very don't want to pay anyone to make them. That's like, the whole moment we're having right now.

Max puts out promos about how great it is to not have unions messing shit up in NZ. Well I have friends who are union costumers in LA and guess what union costumers did amazing last season. This season, well, I guess Stede got three whole shirts, so that's cool.

So I dunno. It's just stuff I think about. I'm not trying to be negative about the show in any way. I'm extremely happy with this season; I love it more than well, possibly any show I've ever been in fandom for.

But I see you, Max. You're cheap. You weren't that cheap when you were called HBO.
