Sorry but am I the only one that thought that episode…sucked? Like it was straight up bad. Horrible pacing, no wrap up of all the random characters and plot lines they’ve thrown around all season (the tuskegee airmen, Westgates spying, literally all the guys beside like the main 4). (Seriously it makes me so mad that the three redtails got all of 5 seconds of screen time, almost no lines. Literally what was the point of introducing them other than to pretend the show was iNcLuSiVe) Even at the end of BoB and the Pacific you get a much better idea of what happened to all the remaining guys. In this they’re like what happened to DeMarco or Hambone or Brady or (insert character here) we don’t know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The concentration camp scene felt shoehorned in compared to how it was done in BoB. Unless that actually happened to Rosie (which i haven’t heard anything about) but it was just like.. ok? It all felt so rushed and emotionless to me. Maybe I’ve just fallen out of love with MoTA but it’s been downhill for me since episode 6 or so.
i already made a little (read: long) post-finale write-up here, where i talk about the use of the tuskegee airmen, l'sandra, and overall editing/pacing issues i felt the show had. but i don't agree with the notion that adding the redtails was in any way insincere or trying to halfass being "iNcLuSiVe", i just think they suffer from this show's obvious time constraints. and to summarize what i wrote in my linked post, there's a limit to what white writers/directors/producers can do when creating a story about black people. there are some stories i'd feel uncomfortable with them telling on their own, truth be told. dee rees wasn't the sole nonwhite director, but she Was the only black one. i think she did her job well given the limitations and i appreciate that they let her direct those episodes, rather than leaving it up to a team of white people trying their best to tell a black story.
the worst i can say about the finale is that it didn't feel like That strong of finale, tho i wouldn't go as far to say it "sucked" or call it "straight up bad". i liked it plenty, it's just the weakest of the hbo war finales imo.
as for the concentration camp scene, artistic license was taken with both shows. unlike what's seen in the BoB, easy company wasn't the first to arrive at kaufering, and there's 0 mention of the all-japanese american 552nd who helped them liberate it). similarly, rosie rosenthal did assist in liberating those camps, though it would've been after the events shown this episode. idk if he saw one in that up-close way seen in this episode, but he could've (i should research this when i have time). plus, it would've felt weird Not having him acknowledge them at all. "shoe-horned" is an odd term to use here imo, as both scenes more-or-less center a jewish character (BoB's liebgott and MotA's rosie). the former show has survivors the characters can help, the latter shows no one left to help. the former has all of easy company there, the latter has rosie there all alone. rosie's scene felt deeply personal in that way. at the end of the day, both scenes are communicating different things. that doesn't make one better than the other when they aren't trying to be identical. (disclaimer, i'm not jewish, so i'd be interesting hearing from the perspective of someone who wrt whether or not they felt it was "shoe-horned")
i can understand if you've disliked the show post-episode 6 (and episode 6 was a very strong episode i'm ngl). eps 7 and 8 were weaker in many ways, even to me, so i get it. everyone's entitled to their own opinion (i'd be a hypocrite saying otherwise). just understand that this blog is run by someone who overall enjoys this show despite its flaws! basically, i encourage you to take this energy and make your own posts.
#masters of the air#hbo war#e9#asks#long post#masters of the air spoilers#mota spoilers#all the hbo war finales are different. i don't think MotA's is as strong but like#my fav hbo war show is still BoB and even Then i don't think it has a better finale than TP. and i dislike a lot of TP! like A Lot!#and Even Then we don't get a good idea about what happens to a lot of the minor-er characters in TP once they leave#anyone who isn't sledge or leckie (rip basilone) is hand-waved-'they went home'-away#not every show needs a sandlot ending w/ a voiceover going:#'[NAME] got really into the [INSERT DECADE] and no one ever saw him again' like they did to webster (rip webster)#and again! i'm mixed about the redtails. but i can Very Clearly See this show getting released without including them#which wouldve left many people (justifiably!) upset that they weren't shown when they were Literally there in the same pow camp#i'll give the hbo war team a lot of shit about a lot of things (despite the enduringly positive energy i try to keep up here)#but i Have to give MotA props for Trying. i don't see faux inclusion i just see it as not quite hitting the mark but an attempt was made#and i think that's worth Something given neither BoB or TP bothered trying#(like i think there was a missed opportunity in TP not mentioning what's happening to japanese americans on the home front)#this got away from me (i'm also opinionated) but while i can agree with you about how the show feels rushed#i do take issue with the idea that they were pretending to be inclusive. i'll blame money time and covid19 before i blame bad intention#maybe that's controversial here but it Is my blog. so.

Sad that we apparently have reached a point where people need to be told outright to manage their expectations for an episode of a tv show lest they throw tantrums afterwards.

#atla#azula#this is about zuko & azula's finale agni kai. while i adore it + it's such a beautiful fight...#i saw a poll about who would've won if katara hadn't been there; and most people were saying it wouldve been zuko#but to me zuko would've lost not because azula wasn't in her right mind but because he wouldve had restraint and she wouldnt#restraint in the sense of... she's still his SISTER so he's aiming not to maim or kill; unlike azula who in that moment has no qualms abt—#—inflicting lethal injuries on anyone present. and it just got me thinking about how we were robbed of their sibling relship#a more nuanced sibling relship at least. like without katara there would we have seen zuko hesitate before dealing a winning blow#would he have seen his little sister who their family failed just as much as they failed him?#because even iroh says at some point that “[azula] is crazy & needs to go down” like... sir that is your niece#idk#i wish we could've gotten a zuko who not only fears envies pities and opposes azula; but also loves her in some way#they're constantly pit against each other and i wonder if the younger idealistic compassionate zuko wouldve been protective of her#up until his banishment; then a once loving relationship (if strained) becomes so horrifically complicated#like the narrative spent way more time establishing azula as a terrible manipulative person (which she is) but also glossing over the fact—#—that she's a child. she wasn't born evil & the writing does not condemn ozai at all for his failure in raising her#the writing clearly shows how he fucked up with zuko but not how he fucked up with azula#which is a missed opportunity for zuko to empathize with her. they were both kids under the same abuse; just pushed in opposite directions

Ittt rlly fucks me up that um. Seven. There were ssseven members of the Losers club. There are seven members of the Hellfire club. Then we have the OG 4 (Will, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin) plus El, Max, and Erica but without Mike (the heart) they fell apart because 7 biblically represents "wholeness". Wwhat happened in the spring of 1959 and what happened to their "heart"?

Not to sound all like “I don’t actually like the canon character” however clone wars Obi-Wan is mmmmm not what I expected. I certainly like him, but he doesn’t capture something that movie obi-wan does.
It could just be the uncanny valley-ness of his design and voice, however sometimes I feel like he’s too sassy. His sass is important but I really do think he’s missing those small moments of gentleness and compassion that made Ewan’s Obi-Wan stick out to me so much.
I like how clone wars digs into how Obi-Wan isn’t always a great person, how he’s loyal to the Jedi to a fault, and is actively aware Something Is Wrong with Anakin but can never bring himself to acknowledge it, as well as his fear that he’s loosing grip of Anakin and doesn’t know how to guide him anymore. 
all of that is so good and true to Obi-Wan, but I feel like his calm Jedi composure isn’t there anymore. This could just be a result of the fact that it’s an animated show and the characters are more animated, but I do miss the way he was just always vibing and the calm cadence he spoke in. he really felt like someone you would call a Jedi master, and while Anakin gets all of his recklessness and smack talk from Obi-Wan, those parts of him are just cranked up to 11.
And like idk. I’m torn. I like a lot of what clone wars does with Obi-Wan, the layers it adds to his character, but sometimes when I watch him I’m like “you’re my boy, but also you’re not”

just watched ep 1 of Love in Contract and yummm excited about what's to come 👀
so happy to see ma boi Go Kyung Pyo back as the male lead, and boy is he serving the sofisticated looks 👌 I'm getting many Jeong hwan vibes from Private Lives and digging to uncover this mysterious backstory (aand relationship development — yesss they have me ship already, their chemistry is yum, even though not nearly close to Duk mi and Ryan, but let's see).
I felt it was a bit too obvious to throw the murder thing in the middle right away for the viewers, feels very much like bait to actually have it be a misunderstanding and later explained by the backstory. But it's cool to have the prospect of a romcom with some murder investigation thrown in. Curious to see how this will develop, hope it's not disappointing!
It's funny though cause I kept thinking about GKP very different and loose role in Chicago Typewriter and I felt myself wanting a sprinkle of that softness, sassiness and fun to come through at some point in the show as Jung Ji Hoo develops as a character. It was cute and funny seeing him trying to make an effort to communicate in his weird way in the phone call.
The whole "I only do words when necessary" and the hard time communicating/dealing with how others perceive his discourse is giving me many many Hwang Si Mok vibes and I'm sooo here for it and the character development alongside Sang Eun.
Ummm and queen Park Min Young is servinggggg as always. The looks, the emotion range, the feels. After the weird rollercoaster that was Forecasting Love and Weather (story-wise I mean; her acting was superb and she held that show), it's really good to see her in her nature in a romcom as Sang Eun but with a twist as she has to act within the acting due to the nature of her job.
Very very enticed about the whole backstory (and hello power drunk school head of Melancholy and Woo Young Woo omma 😅).
Can't wait for more!
