#idk why i thought it was 2x10 what am i smoking

[thr4ce]

man it's been hours and i'm still thinking about kara's speech at the funeral.

i think... her feelings about cain are so complex and difficult to put into words, but there's this dichotomy there that is, in my view, inherently linked to kara's childhood abuse. there's a knowledge in her that cain's methods are far too extreme to some extent, and that natural desire to rebel against such strictures, especially and particularly when she knows there's a better way to get something done - and naturally her loyalty to adama is ever-present, front and centre. she will always choose him, always. however she also, simultaneously, thinks that cain is right in a lot of ideological respects. her decisiveness, her assertiveness, her willingness to do what needs to be done even when it's unsavoury. all of that wrapped up in the fact that she made kara her cag, gave her praise and consideration, made her feel important. the way cain runs her ship is so much more in alignment with kara's subconscious philosophy as leoben laid it out - that suffering is necessary and human, that pain is the defining trait of the human race. [we're not friends, you're the cag.] she reveres military tradition. cain is, even if she may not like it on a conscious level, her platonic ideal of a commander. much like socrata, cain says she has a deep sense of faith in kara, but unlike socrata she empathises with and is kind to kara - she validates kara's desire to return to caprica, and when kara completes her mission, cain says, aloud, that she is proud of her. (i draw this comparison not because i think kara sees a mother figure in cain but because there are shadows of socrata's treatment in every single relationship kara ever forms in her life, especially the romantic ones.) throughout the entirety of the arc kara outwardly protests cain's decisionmaking far less than lee does. "it's done," she says of her promotion and his demotion; she accepts it immediately. kara historically disavows the chain of command when she does not view the superior in question as someone worthy of her respect, but cain is perhaps the commanding officer that has earned it most wholly, apart from adama. she desperately did not want to kill cain, but she would have, for her father.

Nancy Drew 2x10 Review/Thoughts

spoilers below!!

I have been waiting for this episode for way too long

Am I watching this in my ap literature class because I had to study for a physics test last night? yes.

Ooo okay this is already creepy I love it

Okay this bride is going to be important in the future. I mean obviously she’s going to be important now but her past might come up in future episodes

Ace and Bess coming up with headlines about Ryan is something I didn’t know I needed until now

Yes Nancy! you’re brilliant not matter what you wear

Oh Val knows what she’s doing

In any other world Nancy would adore her

“Who steals flowers” lol

“Bedside manner of a plumber” this lady is amazing she needs to be in every episode also did her husband ever tell her about what Nancy did a few episodes back?

“Someone’s always chasing you” oh Bess darling never change

Long lost brother? Ace has great contact names for people I’ve got to say

“Boys you are staring” whoever writes these one-liners needs a raise

“Did you just call me a cabbage?”

Did Tamura just wink at Nancy? 

“How do you know what brocade is?” “I have an eye” I love this show

Why is Tamura doing stuff with Nancy where did their animosity go?

Oh I see Ace coming in while Nancy is with Tamura

“The supernatural detective and the basic one” Ace is both amazing and not pleased with Tamura

“Do any of you actually work here?” that is a good question Tamura

Oh Val is doing a really good job of being a sleuth I’ve got to say 

“Shoulders back” Celia is such a mom

Okay Odette is definitely in love with Bess

Also where’s Lisbeth?

Hannah??? 

Oh boy leave Nick alone

Okay so nobody noticed that smoke except for Nancy huh?

And here comes the parts from the trailer

Nancy is clearly not good

Tamura is calling her? What?

“Those are... those are words” 

“I’m just a huge fan of hygiene”

How much fun did Kennedy have filming this?

Nancy’s flirting is amazing I’ve got to say

YoU’rE nOt LeAvInG

I can’t get over these slow-mos it’s killing me

Bess’s face!!!

George’s face!!!

“It’s so much softer than I even imagined,” WHAT

Did Nancy just admit to imagining how soft Ace’s hair is? This along with the “pretty eyes” makes it very clear who Nancy has a crush on

“Who’s Annette I’ll kill her”

“God you’re so smart Ace I don’t care what anyone says”

Poor Ace is worried about his brother

I’m hopping on the “Tamura is Ace’s brother” train

Thank goodness Ace is Bess’s moral compass

Wow Nancy is really desperate to get out of there isn’t she

“You might have Nancy fooled but not me Bobbsey” what is happening?

This episode is so chaotic I love it

That’s a good question George are they curing her with pearl cream?

I love how they know Nancy so well that they know she’s lying

Idk how I feel about Nancy and Tamura although he clearly likes her

Did George just hug Nancy???

They’ve evolved so much from the first season I love it

Bess, George, and Nancy’s friendship needs to be explored more I love a non-toxic female friendship in the media

Okay there’s the eyeroll Nancy and Tamura are back to normal

Nope they’re not they just shook hands

Also Tamura totally likes her I’m not just seeing things right?

Ugh Gil

It had to be Gil

“I hope you’ll let me thank you in person” now Ryan has a crush

I’m sorry but VAL TOLD CELIA FORGET EVERYHTING I SAID SHE DOESN’T DESERVE RYAN

Trailer time!!!

Whoa whoa whoa what’s up with Nick?

Are they doing a groundhog day episode?

Is Nancy dancing with Celia?

Okay are they doing an alternate reality thing or is Celia trying to get something from Nancy?

Which one of you is Nancy????

WHAT????
