Theory of Love Rewatch Ep 8 Stray Thoughts
Last time, Khai began his bisexual awakening, and I gave the show points for handling the interior experience of that with a lot of honesty. I appreciate that no one is on Khai's side about going after Third, let alone Third. I like that Two especially doesn't want Khai messing with Third. I am glad that Third has been moving on with his life, and I like how now that we're outside of his head Third seems kind of aloof. I like that Khai's reputation is working against him as he tries to be serious about Third. Meanwhile, Bone is working on a big project with Paan and making eyes at her. We left at Khai being cast in Third's play as the jerk lead.
Ep.08 The Proposal
Third is actually so mean and I love it.
I also like that Third is annoyed by Khai hovering over him lately.
Khai tried to fuck with Un and Un said, "Pot-kettle-black, bitch."
LOL, even Shane is on team Let Third Be Into Someone Else.
It's kinda funny how most of this gang has no skill when it comes to people they actually like.
Okay, this car scene with every radio station playing some kind of sad song about heartbreak was funny.
They're getting some good resonance with Lynn. Her boyfriend got tired of her and she's wondering if she should change. Khai is also struggling with who he should be for Third.
I think White may have actually been in a fight before. His reactions to ministrations feel correct.
LOL. Bone said Un is way better than you, Khai. Get wrecked.
Un said, "What do you know of Third? Aren't you his best friend? Answer, quickly!!"
I feel no sympathy for Khai at all. He always tossed Third at girls he was done with and used him as a shield. He deserves no regard from Third after all the shit he pulled. He can't even handle girls he flirted with being annoyed with him.
Taking a nap while waiting for the file to export is so real.
Yes, Two, get that shot in at Khai for always dumping Third for girls.
I really like Gun's gait. He doesn't often adjust it for his characters.
I struggle to feel for Khai's heartache here, because he's hurt more people than just Third.
I'm so sick of this orange balcony as the transition shot.
Who are you jealous of here, Two?
Wow, is Khai going to actually tell Third he's quitting? That's better than his usual avoidance tactics.
So, Khai, you're saying you want to...Make It Right? You don't do that by kissing a sleeping person, especially one you've wronged.
Finally, Third gets mad. I've needed him to get mad. I needed him to go to the window, stick his head out, and yell, "I'm as mad as hell! And I'm not going to take this anymore!"
Good thing he wore that helmet!
Yes, montage of all the things Khai did to Third. I'm glad you're finally recognizing your shit even if you think this is the end.
In the words of Susan Ivanova, "All love is unrequited." I'm actually enjoying this part of the show a lot. Khai is so bad at this and can't stand that Third is inaccessible to him now. You don't know what you got till it's gone, and I am not feeling sympathy for this man child. I like that his bros give him shit constantly and never let up until he starts to break. Khai created the world around him with his callousness, and I'm enjoying seeing him grate against the other side of it. Ending on him sliding across pavement and getting torn up is an excellent choice, because our bodies are so fragile. It's good to illustrate how he thought he was immune to all of that on his beloved Charlie and all the ways he projected onto that only to see him dashed across the road as he thinks about his friend he never realized how much he loved until that friend cut him off.

masterposting lost reactions even though exactly 1 of my mutuals has seen it because ive spent today binging season 5
every scene with richard in it is the funniest scene
the ep where locke goes around failing and then everyone and their mom points out that he's just lonely/delusional and then he tries to kill himself is 馃樁. literally so mean of them to give the believer a cruel death and the skeptic an unshakeable destiny
im glad they redeemed ben in the end, if they hadn't i don't think it would be lost. but i do enjoy it when he gets the shit beat out of him. watching him get played like a fiddle by MiB not so much
young!danielle is gorgeous
this is my first rewatch and it's so crazy how different the experience is when you Know things. especially all the shit with the temple and fake!locke. everything has a hidden meaning etc. but especially MiB impersonating alex to threaten ben was so funny. like watch 1 i was 馃槷 what's going on here??? and watch 2 is smokey throwing all subtlety out the window
kate is much less annoying in the late series to the point where im actually enjoying her arc quite a bit? the coming back for claire thing is such a solid motivation now that she's moved on from the love triangle bullshit
the throwaway "it's not a monster it's a security system for the temple" line had me 馃憖 especially after having seen the directors commentary for across the sea
penny and desmond having their first reunion in "the constant" and their second reunion in "the variable"... it's like poetry it rhymes etc.
the way they go out of their way to include everyone's individual reaction to richard not aging really does it for me
one thing this show does right is Masterful use of episode titles. top of the list this season is "he's our you" but top of all time remains "all the best cowboys have daddy issues"
ill be real i didn't catch the bit where jacob made the others learn latin until now. also does his name mean his mother was jewish or is it just anglicized?
richard should have clocked locke immediately. I-M-M-E-D-I-A-T-E-L-Y. huge L for him
the MiB and the dwarf in the flask from fma are the same character
the god-wont-intervene-but-the-devil-will thing they've got going on is actually so weighted and interesting especially combined with the very pointed compilation of jacob going around touching all the candidates. it really is all about the lighthouse scene
jacob spending his time weaving is something that can be so personal
the scene where the backgammon-bros sit on the beach looking at the black rock is a tv recreation of the beginning of the book of job
i don't think women can be blorbos so i guess richard is the closest thing i've got
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT "what about you?" OH MY GOD
s5 is definitely the best one. perfect mix of nonsense + interesting flashbacks + lore + no charlie (hate that guy)

how annoying do you think rob will be on the podcast when they cover macs a serial killer? I just rewatched and like.. that storyline is horrible but like will robs virtue signalling over it be equally irritating dkfj
oh god KJENFKJGNER i gotta say the dumb stunt he pulled with the button for the MQ office doors made my eyes roll SO fuckin hard cuz I KNEW what he was gonna do when he pulled the button up cuz of that one written interview from a while back where he mentioned the buttons... for me its just. there's something so off-putting abt it cuz it reminds me of being a kid where you have just acquired new info n it TOTALLY changes how u see and understand the world n u just wanna keep talking abt it (to be fair litrlly everyone does this no matter how old u are).. but seeing a grown man acting like that with sexism is what makes it kinda off-putting LOL? like maybe I'm just harsh but w things like the button stunt its almost.. novel to him. or when they makes jokes like "AND WOMEN TOO!" like u can tell its just become an in-joke for them, but idk if they are aware of how cringey it is in the context where they're just a bunch of bros making that joke it does not have the same effect lol. personally, I find this kind of shit HILARIOUS cuz its just cringe comedy, n like... i would not have been able to watch sunny this long if I didn't learn to revel in that kind of humor. it has to come from a very sincere place to be funny tho n I guess i'd rather have someone learn like Better Late Than Never like I'm glad he's more aware of this shit but the way he shows it off like its show n tell is just KJENGKJTNGKJTN so fucking funny
so uh. just based on pattern it might go a little smth like That or it will go so fuckin badly when u combine charlie day's talking points on top to a point where they may ACTUALLY have to Cut That Cut That!
that ep has a wealth of interesting subject matter to cover at least 30 mins that they could also manage to mostly avoid talking about that storyline if they rlly wanted to lol. but its only a few days til Monday so we'll find out!
i hope at the very least we get some juicy gossip on glenn's dating life to distract us from them being bad at talking abt real life problems
