Thoughts on Jack Ryan as a whole....
So with season 4, Jack Ryan comes to an end. In the end, the show has always struck me as a competent, enjoyable, espionage thriller with likable characters, but fairly by the numbers in terms of execution. There has never been anything that has stuck me as 'wow' about it, but I have always enjoyed it. I think Season 1 was probably still my favorite. I think Season 1 and Season 3 were the best seasons. Season 4 was good, but due to reduced episode count, it felt less fleshed out than previous seasons. I didn't quite completely understand the various intricacies of the criminal organization. Season 2 was the weakest because I think it fell into the tropes of Jack Ryan seeking revenge, and in general the story was the least interesting. I think the show benefited by a likable group of actors in key roles. John Krasinski was consistently strong. He is very innately likable and doesn't come off as a superhero. Wendell Pierce as Jack Greer was excellent throughout. Michael Kelly as Mike November was a standout for me. Betty Gabriel as Elizabeth Wright lent a formidable presence in the last 2 seasons. Michael Pena was a big boost for the show in the final season, as Domingo Chavez. Abbie Cornish had a relatively thankless role as Cathy Mueller but she also leaves a mark and she has good chemistry with John Krasinski and was able to be seamless reintegrated into the show, after being absent for seasons 2 and 3. All in all, I quite liked the show. I am glad it didn't overstretch its welcome, even though I would have enjoyed another season.

I FIGURED OUT WHAT A CRUSH IS
My brain doesn’t form any kind of emotional attraction to someone unless I know enough about them to develop an opinion on whether or not I’d like to be around them a lot. Thinking someone’s hot doesn’t factor into this opinion. I think a lot of people are hot but I don’t know them, so in my view that doesn’t constitute a crush. I’m definitely on the demi-romantic spectrum.
However.
I’m in the middle of a Star Talk podcast with Dr. Janna Levin as the special guest and y’all. Yalllllluh. I’ve held a candle for this woman for 5 years now and not only is she the hottest math professor alive, SHE’S A MATH PROFESSOR so she’s automatically someone I would want to be around a lot. She’s intelligent and witty and self possessed and knows when to use who and whom. I want to listen to her explain event horizons to me forever. Just please never shut up, Dr. Levin. You’ll never bore me. Keep talking.
So, in my case at least, a crush is someone I know I would want to be around for extended periods of time, someone I could see myself developing an attraction to specifically because of their intelligence and humor, and someone who will never bore me. It’s just a bonus if they’re hot.
Great developments in the ole noggin’ tonight.
(See what I’m talking abt??

JULIO PEÑA? Não! É apenas MATTEO TRIBBIANI, ele é filho de NIKÉ do chalé 17 e tem 24 ANOS. A TV Hefesto informa no guia de programação que ele está no NÍVEL III por estar no Acampamento há TREZE ANOS, sabia? E se lá estiver certo, MATT é bastante AMIGÁVEL mas também dizem que ele é SISTEMÁTICO. Mas você sabe como Hefesto é, sempre inventando fake news pra atrair audiência.
* BIOGRAFIA / CONEXÕES /
BIOGRAFIA.
No coração da cidade de Nova York, um simples entregador de pizza, Marco Tribbiani, viu sua vida transformada quando cruzou o caminho da esplêndida deusa Nike. Uma conexão inesperada floresceu entre eles, resultando no nascimento de Matteo Tribbiani. O relacionamento deles evoluiu rapidamente, mas a súbita partida de Nike, guiada por deveres divinos, deixou Marco perplexo, ignorante da herança divina que ela compartilhava com seu filho recém-nascido, Matteo. Mesmo assim, ele tinha infinitos planos para com seu primeiro filho, animado para tudo o que ainda viveriam juntos — até uma fatalidade acontecer e Marco parar de respirar.
Matt foi acolhido pelas seis irmãs mais novas de Marco. Essas irmãs, unidas pelo desejo comum de proteger e orientar o jovem semideus, formaram um laço familiar único, oferecendo a Matteo suporte emocional e amor, tornando-se a âncora essencial em sua jornada. Elas não poderiam saber de seu laço divino, mas sua infância foi repleta de desafios e sinais de sua herança.
Na escola primária, seus momentos de fúria ou intensa concentração desencadeavam episódios de força, causando estranheza entre seus colegas; como arrebentar a alça da mochila ao retirá-la do encosto da cadeira, machucar de verdade um colega que só queria dar um susto, e rasgar com facilidade livros ao meio quando queria zombar do professor.
Ao chegar ao Acampamento Meio-Sangue, os sinais tornaram-se mais tangíveis. Durante treinamentos de combate, a força descomunal de Matt se revelava sem aviso prévio, superando qualquer expectativa para alguém de sua idade. Nos campos de treinamento de corrida, sua agilidade sobrenatural e resistência inabalável se destacavam, transformando desafios que deixariam outros semideuses exaustos em mera formalidade para ele.
No interior do acampamento, Matt encontrou um lar entre seus iguais, aprimorando suas habilidades sobrenaturais. Seu dom notável, a super força, logo se destacou, tornando-o uma figura respeitada entre seus colegas. Hoje, aos vinte e quatro anos, Matt é um instrutor habilidoso de combate com espada e mestre em corridas de obstáculos solitárias, uma verdadeira força a ser reconhecida dentro das fronteiras seguras do acampamento.
Numa noite sombria, enquanto desfrutava de uma refeição no refeitório, a tranquila atmosfera do Acampamento Meio-Sangue foi abruptamente quebrada. Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a atual oráculo, pronunciou uma profecia angustiante. A revelação de que segredos do Olimpo seriam revelados e o próprio Olimpo cairia mergulhou Matt e seus companheiros semideuses em um estado de apreensão.
Antes do chamado de Dionísio, Matt estava no acampamento. Ele se comunica periodicamente com as seis tias, embora a maioria delas já tenha a sua vida particular e o contato seja mais raro, mas ele sempre as atualiza de tudo o que acontece. O Tribbiani literalmente havia acabado de chegar da casa de uma das irmãs e seus filhos quando foi jantar no pavilhão, no momento em que tudo aconteceu.
TRIVIA.
Como filho de Niké, tem a autoconfiança como uma velha amiga. Real, ele esbanja autoestima... Só não conta para ele que se ele não tiver pelo menos um date por semana, ele fica insuportável na matéria de insegurança. É uma relação complexa: ele é confiante desde que consiga agradar os outros e os tenha na mão.
Em complemento ao anterior, é um namorador de carteirinha e um amigo festeiro e fiel às amizades.
Pode aparentar ser metido por conta de seu jeito expansivo e do histórico de conquistas, mas é bem humilde em relação a essas coisas. É um jovem como qualquer outro, disposto a sobreviver mais anos do que a média do semideuses e aproveitar a tudo que tem direito. E se tiver muita sorte, ter filhos.
Nas rodas de conversa, é aquele que vai incentivar o mais calado a falar.
Não é competitivo por uma simples razão de autoestima: sabe que vai ganhar.
Estudou Arquitetura Romana por um ano na universidade de Nova Roma antes de trancar o curso por falta de identificação.
PODER.
Super força: Matt possui um nível imenso e extraordinário de força física, tendo suas capacidades elevadas muito além do nível natural. Isso o torna sobrenaturalmente mais forte do que membros comuns de sua espécie poderiam ser, mesmo através de vários métodos de treinamento.
HABILIDADES.
Vigor e Durabilidade Sobre-humana.
ARMA.
A Níkēphoros se revela de maneira astuta, escondida sob a forma de uma pulseira de ouro. Quando ativada, a pulseira se transforma instantaneamente na imponente espada de bronze celestial. "Níkēphoros" é um nome grego que combina duas palavras: "Níkē," que significa vitória, e "phoros," que significa portador ou transportador. Portanto, o nome "Níkēphoros" pode ser traduzido como "Portador da Vitória" ou "Aquele que traz a Vitória." Essa escolha reflete a natureza da espada, destinada a trazer triunfo e sucesso ao seu portador nas batalhas. Foi forjada pelos ferreiros do Acampamento Meio-Sangue e humildemente alcunhada pelo próprio Tribbiani.
CARGO.
Instrutor de combate com espadas e participa de maneira individual da corrida com obstáculos.
