Brief considerations on finishing The Great:

The conspiracy theory hill I'm dying on that it was cancelled because execs mistakenly believed Nicholas Hoult was the star, when really he was just as excellent at scene-stealing as his character needed him to be.

I'll not forgive them for Orlo's arc. How did our ace king get sidelined into a relationship and then killed off without any attempt to give him the growth given to all the others? (I say growth, though really it's just as often regression that I mean. Anyway Archie, Grigor, Marial, even George to a degree! etc etc all change while still being themselves and still finding a place in the story. I don't know why that couldn't be done for Orlo). I'm not doing a headcount, but it does feel like the main cast and surrounding recurring characters were notably less diverse by the end of S3 - and now we don't even get to see whether Arkady gets a chance to grow from his brief flirtation with power.

NEVERTHELESS though that primed me to hate season 3 it was amazing. Holy SHIT the script on this baby. Utterly florid and absurd and vulgar and punching you in the solar plexus repeatedly about grief and love and loyalty and being human!!! Every time Elizabeth in particular opens her mouth I'm like 'this is bonkers but it's beautiful and it works so well!' Jenny-Slate-screaming-meme.png

Marial never did anything wrong ever. No this has nothing to do with Phoebe Fox's big brown eyes and sarcastic little smirk and stonking cleavage. (I am In Love).

ACTING. The whole cast is incredible, but Elle Fanning, babe, take it away! The range, darling! The emotion in an eye twitch, the scale of grief and depression measured in the angle of her pout, the mix of love and frustration that you wholly believe in, and her stompy, resolutely unladylike walk. And that dance to AC/DC right at the end. ;_;

Not to Marial stan on main again, but she was RIGHT, finally we were going to see an independent Catherine and those fuckers cancelled it!!

Everyone. I love everyone in this bar. They're all awful scheming fuckheads and I love them all.

Every time Grigor has an emotional breakdown it gives me life.

So many different women with sometimes complex, sometimes excruciatingly simple and/or dumb reasons for doing what they do, even the ones that hate each other find connection in surprising moments and then go back to hating each other, finding so many ways to be political and sexual and clever and so fucking stupid. Did I mention that I love them all especially Marial?

I still think it would be funny if I became a Bond villain billionaire and bought the rights to all of Georgia's TV channels and just constantly broadcast Archie's scenes without context. Hypocritical fucked up horny patriarch is here to help you re-evaluate your morals!

Small things like how Catherine doesn't really care about Paul <333 like yes ok she's wracked by grief for a bunch of the season, but even before, it's not like she's going round having a crisis about how to spend time with her child while ruling the country. The country is her priority.

I for one am glad Velementov isn't dying, and it's tragic that we won't get to see the arc where he sobers up and gives Agnes the ride of her life.

Watching this show is actually hugely frustrating a lot of the time and you might find yourself getting impatient with some of the characters when they're dithering about what to do. This is Good, Actually, because it gives room for that incredible script to breathe, and it reinforces the frustration and slow progress inherent to what the character of Catherine is trying to achieve.

I don't care about the 'occasionally true' bits of the story, as a vehicle for exploring what it's like to be a woman in power, as a way of looking at contemporary issues through a sumptuous, over-the-top pseudo-historical setting, it's an absolute banger.

---

ETA: I was right to post this before tag-diving!! Absolutely screaming at the hate for my bb girl who did nothing wrong ever. Honestly so glad I have no desire to get into fandom for this show at all.

#i meant to do this when i finished some of the others shows i watched this year like mrs maisel #but made the mistake of tag-diving first and getting dismayed at what i found #so i'm just plonking this here #because i found this show a slog and i don't know that i would rewatch it #but i am SO glad i did watch it and fucking angrier than ever about the cancellation #idk what the fandom is like on here and i'm not really making this post for the fandom so not tagging #and not making rebloggable #but for posterity: i enjoyed this tv show and i am saying so on my blog. so there.#jo enthusiing about media #the great spoilers #the great season 3 spoilers

my pre-show cast takes:

creds to @nerdphobic for the tiermaker!!

ALYSSA: thought her bio was alright, love to hear that she’s a superfan and that she’s there to game hard. her instagram annoys me because she just seems very influencer wanna-be. i would say she’s showmance bait, but she might have a boyfriend? or at least did as recently as january. (not that that stops anyone on bb) also side-eyeing her bb connections

AZAH: had the best takes in her bio. hates showmances and loves jun. will play for herself, not the house. i like her instagram because it’s more normal/less influencer-like than others. let’s go queen 👑

BRENT: idk on him. don’t like that he might gun for a showmance.

BRITINI: i think i’ll either love her or be extremely annoyed by her. maybe both! i like that she’s into theatre (like me djdnsnshshs) but tiktok dancers lowkey annoy me so i’m not as into that. glad that she’s there to really compete/make big moves and give it her all! but WOOF her bio is exhausting

CHRISTIAN: he’s a white man so i kinda automatically don’t trust him BUT i trust him more than travis atm. i’ve seen that ppl who know him say he’s sweet, so that’s nice!

CHRISTIE: love the bald rep and her baldtourage dance group is pretty cool. don’t like that she likes derrick/cody, but her loving haleigh partially makes up for that. love that she wants to kick the guys’ butts in physical comps. ayanna pressley commented on one of her insta posts 😳 she said she’s loud in her BB insta vid - could be a good or bad thing

DEREK F: plus size queer rep 🙌 seems entertaining! rooting for him

DEREK X: a cutie. have no idea what his gameplay will be like - could see him floating.

FRENCHIE: using “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” as a word to describe yourself automatically annoys me. britney haynes/rachel’s hair extensions as an iconic duo though 💀 proud member of the NAACP??? okay. hearing that he’s harassed women on twitter means that i automatically distrust and dislike him. wild that he’s the stan twitter person going into the house

HANNAH: houseguest that’s younger than me… i feel old. like azah, has good takes! is a superfan and is excited for the whole experience. seems smart, and i love that she’s got a minimal social media presence. let’s go 🙌

KYLAND: cool that he’s a movie nerd. is a longtime bb fan and excited to game. love that he’s read all the twilight books. has good takes on social media!

SARAH: seems sweet, could be boring. plans to float. she’s heard abt the house ant problem. cool that she does cosplay. haven’t seen any social media for her.

TIFFANY: what does “i utilize my alter ego” mean 👀 a CEO! also haven’t seen social media for her.

TRAVIS: showmance bait. loves brett and winston - what more is there to say. says he’s obsessed with cinema - maybe he and kyland will bond over that. published author? what? likes pranks…. that worries me. also why would you announce you’ve been sued multiple times? 💀 follows fox news and prager u on insta 🤮 anyways, the barstool video of him has ruined me and i will never get some of those quotes out of my head

WHITNEY: i actually have had white chocolate raspberry tillamook ice cream (it’s really good) so i wanna know the story of how she’s responsible for that? her bio didn’t super bug me but i’ve heard she’s into guns and also her instagram annoys me + her video intro on the BB insta was SO BORING. go girl give us nothing ! showmance/floater bait 🙄

XAVIER: hot af. chilltown (RIP) 💀 loved britney haynes goodbye message to boogie and danielle reyes’ impressions - that’s taste 😘🤌 probably won’t bring any drama - only wants to win when he has to, doesn’t want to make things personal. has a cat and wants a dog but only when he’s got a yard for it 🥺💕 could be boring, but at least he’s hot 😌 him deadpan saying he’s fun loving in the BB insta videos killed me

#bb23 #first time i’ve ever done first impressions for a bb cast - can’t wait til i’m inevitably disappointed 😌😀
