Cabin Pressure Advent Day 10: Johannesburg

JOHANNESBURGGG!

(Or: "Abu Dhabi was fine but let's see if we can remake it better!" Spoiler- they did.)

Honestly, the exchange at the beginning about the Birthday Party Bombing is on my shortlist for funniest Cabin Pressure scenes, and I know I've already said that Passenger Derby is my favorite but that doesn't mean it wasn't a hard fought battle. Stephanie Cole and Roger Allam act the shit out of it and it is so so hilarious.

That actually gets to my main takeaway from the episode: the pairings are perfect, especially in service of one of the best things about this episode- bringing Douglas down a peg. Does it actually bring him down a peg in-universe? Not so much. But after 9 episodes of Douglas being sleek and mocking and preternaturally good at things and so often right and ALWAYS smug about it, we finally get to see the effects of that. With the Carolyn and Douglas pairing it's a continuation of the realization from Ipswich that she's the alpha dog who can make him jump in the pool- they're constantly in a power struggle and her rubbing that in a bit is just super entertaining.

Martin and Arthur's plot line is, if anything, even better, because it really is kind of nice to see them feeling better about themselves without Douglas around; to paraphrase Arthur, Douglas is great and hilarious but you KNOW you'd find him annoying as fuck if you had to work with him in real life. That said, this is a sitcom composed basically entirely of people who we love but who we would hate to work with- but that doesn't make it any less nice to see what Martin and Arthur can do when they aren't waiting for Douglas's sarcastic punchline. Particularly Martin, because he's never really come across as an actual idiot so much as someone who is incapable of marshalling his mental faculties to anything due to a mixture of his own inner nature and external pressures- and Douglas is definitely one of those external pressures. (It's one of the reasons why I love that his ending is to go work for a professional airline- he's got the kind of mind/personality that will thrive so much more in a regulated kind of environment.)

The plotting is great, though I do think that the pacing felt a bit rushed toward the end, and there are some great throughlines both minor (Douglas cooking and serving the fish) and major (the beautifully planted Chekhov's gun with the water bottle). I do have one VERY minor quibble with the latter that I will accept is up for interpretation: it bothers me a bit that Martin's (needed, because he's still the team woobie) takedown at the end is because he wasn't conscientious enough about a safety/procedure matter. I know that part of the point is meant to be that he's "trusting his pilot instincts," but for his pilot instincts not to include procedural safety just seems a bit out of character. If the different "see I'm competent on my own" things that he'd previously done with Arthur had involved breaking rules, it would be one thing- but he DIDN'T until basically just now, which makes it feel very out of nowhere and kind of out of character.

Otherwise, what a great episode!! Which... let's see what ends up being said about Kuala Lumpur. Sigh. (I do remember liking Arthur's training session though...!)

I have a really gnarly bout of covid so I was barely able to make it happen…

Chag Chanukah sameach. Here’s to never assimilating, never backing down, honoring our traditions, and never letting them erase our history.

old jewish men think the funniest thing ever is calling christmas eve “erev christmas”

#every year without fail i will hear a middle aged jewish man make this joke #(context i guess: since in hebrew calendar days start at sundown every holiday has an ‘erev’ (eve/evening) before the first full day’#(i.e. erev chanukah is the first night of chanukah and is when we start celebrating)

yes I know the target demographic for this probably isn't jews and yes I know it'll probably be chock full of stereotypes but dammit they've got jewish actors playing jews in a chanukah holiday romcom.

also I found the casting breakdown which has a lot more information about the film and I can't wait to see the scene in which this becomes relevant

#also jeremy jordan? what are you doing here?#not that im complaining obviously like hello #jeremy jordan as the njb romantic interest? im there #also its airing on the first night of chanukah!#instead of christmas!#yay!#chanukah #hanukkah #jeremy jordan #hanukkah on rye #that title is so bad but it's in line with every other hallmark xmas movie name so #lmao

Chag Hanukkah sameach!

May these lights remind us to stand strong in the face of oppression. May we rededicate ourselves to justice and - thereafter - to peace.

Happy Chanukkah! Today was the first time I got to light a candle chanukkiah, and it was really exciting! I love my menorah; it was a birthday gift. I hope you all have eight days of fried food and light 💛
