Look I love the good wife please give your hot takes nonstop

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH. I always forget just how much until I’m watching an episode again. It’s just so, so good.

If you want me to talk about something in particular feel free to redirect me because there are so many things to talk about in this show!! I love the characters, for sure, but what gets me it’s the... “worldbuilding” sounds a bit off in this case, but it’s true. The ambiance they created in the show, the humor. The secondary characters are key to this and I love practically every single one. I love the judges’ indiosincrasies, I love the rival lawyers’ low tactics, the repeat clients and their troubles (Sweeney and Bishop are my absolute faves OFC), the parade of quirky weird people coming left and right in every episode... All the small things that make it feel real without falling into the trap of soporific “realism”, you know?

My favourite characters dance around from season to season, but at the end it comes to Kalinda and Eli; I love Kalinda to pieces, but her plots were a bit inconsistent and I’m not that satisfied with her storyline, among other reasons for all the bts nonsense. OTOH Eli’s story is always on the good side for me, and an endless source of amusement.

On that vein, I have to admit Peter is one of my favourites too LMFAO. Not as a person, I don’t really care one way or the other; but his storylines are my favourites more often than not. Getting out of jail, all of his political campaigns (but especially the first one, where he went for the youth vote and bragged about going to prison xDD), his time as governor... It was always fascinating to watch.

My other faves would be Diane (I ADORE her in TGF too; I need to catch up with that one), Elsbeth (A GODDESS), Cary (the pettiness, ILH). And I love, LOVE anything to do with the Florrick family drama (especially Alicia vs. Jackie. The joy it brings me omg. Or Zach ability to insert himself in his father’s political strategies. And seriously, was Grace queercoded af or what). Also, they are more TGF characters than TGW’s, but Marissa Gold and Lucca are really fucking gr10 too.

But really, I just like the whole cast. Even ones I didn’t expect to care that much for based on type. I tend to hate lead characters like Alicia, but I love her; I tend to have a lot of contempt for characters like Will, but I love his platonic relationships with women (Kalinda, Diane, Elsbeth...) and I sort of find him endearing sometimes, despite how much of a loser he can be? The actor looks a lot like one of my oldest friends so that might be part of it xDD.

My favourite season is definitely the fifth, but I love all of them. I’m just especially fond of that one, especially its second half. Alicia and Cary splitting from the firm and going hard against Diane and Will, the emotional rollercoaster of you-know-what for Alicia, Kalinda and Diane... It’s perfect to me.

I think my most controversial take is that I think Peter and Alicia are made for each other xDD. I wouldn’t say match made in hell because I reserve that for like, mass murderers lol, but in this show’s scale... yeah. I don’t ship it because I don’t really ship in this show, I don’t get ~feels (with MAYBE Diane/Kalinda as an exception. I just think they’re neat!), but it’s what I see. I’ve seen it since very early on. The episode where the sex worker he cheated on her with was giving interviews and humiliating them on tv? So Peter straight up threatened to sick a mob boss on her?? And when she went to Alicia for help Alicia gave Peter a kiss as a reward?? I was speechless. Fucking speechless.

They kind of remind me to Stelena, of all things xDD. An older, human version of them that was allowed to grow into their bitterness, but two damn political animals who get each other and can’t really shake each other (this made the scene where Kalinda reads Delena fanfiction to Diane -where Elena is cheating on her husband Stefan!!- all the more hilarious to me ofc).

Oh, and I don’t know if this counts as a hot take, but I adore David Lee. He’s such a raging asshole and takes such joy in it, bless him 💖

Milk based ice-cream or a fruit based one? MILK BASED i’m 100% milk bb

3 things you think of when you wake up? urgh here it goes again, noooo, damnit.

Latest shower thought? coding stuffs like i really wonder how they make those diagonal things y’know? i figured it out. thanks, shower-chan.

The weirdest thing you have ever eaten on a whim? nothing i eat is every weird really if it’s real food, though in college we there’s this one time my housemates and i tried the orange juice with rice thing? that’s fucked up.

Are you more comfortable showing affection verbally or physically? both! although when it comes to real life, i do find it hard to say words of love, i even find it hard to say “i love you” to my mom or my lover which is why i usually am more inclined to a more physical approach.

What’s your default sleeping pose? the fetus position

What’s your ideal pet? dOG??? i had a dog, i love dogs, i live for dogs. just!!! DOGS!!!!

Favourite scene from a book/movie/tv show? all time favorite is whenever yang and grey told each other that they’re their person. also love it when the chevalier told athénaïs that she reminds him of a swan, “graceful on top but underneath, two fat flippers just trashing away” BURN!!!

Prettiest cow bread? I am serious IDK WHAT COW BREAD IS LMAO so i googled it and im not angry at the result

pt. 2, dreamsinparadise

When was the last time you cried, and why? probably yesterday? i was watching was nützt die liebe in gedanken again knowing full well what it does to me.

Do you prefer staying at home or hanging out at your friends’s place? oh man, i love both. can i not choose both? that’s not called choosing i guess, but i do love both c:

If you were in a situation where your fav SLBP character and your 10 yrs old child with him are at the brink of death. You are given the chance to save only one of them. Who would you choose? WTF okay first of all this vahjayjay will not give birth to any parasites called babies in the first place, so ofc I’d save my hide. child doesn’t even exist.

Its your first night with your SLBP bae, who’s gonna be dom and who’s gonna be sub? i’m probably gon be sub first time, dom when i’m not being a lazy af piece of crap.

What would you give to your SLBP bae as a memento if they are going to war? a charm. for protection, something i’ve prayed with for weeks maybe every night in a row. may the force prayer be with you.

Your bae had struck a faustian contract with (demon!au) you for the price of his soul and you finished your services after some time. If you chose not to consume him after the contract, it would cost you your life but he would live, while if you consume him his soul would be with you forever in your body (but you can never touch him or hear him again). Which would you prefer? Why? i probably would not consume him and not for some cheesy schmessy reasons like “oh, hes the love of my life” either but really i just am not comfortable with the idea that someone will be living inside me? i don’t mind losing the bae, i can always find another bae but the thought that he’s inside me and can communicate to me and living inside me LOL no. my body and mind and soul is mine alone. i’d die, but i’d die my own person (my own demon? lmao).

What kind of wedding would you like with your bae? simple. i never like big weddings surrounded by people i don’t even know or care about. i’ve always liked the idea of an outdoors wedding as well, been to a few of those and loved it. i’d get married in amy pond’s wedding dress since it’s been my dream since forever but also not bc i cant see myself marrying anyone.

If you were to adopt one of the SLBP guys as your children, who would it be? sakon is my child. don’t even with me. he’s my precious baby boo. also yasu and mitsun.

What do you think of me; @dreamsinparadise? i actually really really enjoy the times when i catch you on my dash, which is really not very often seeing the colossal amount of blogs i’m following, but i do like it and reading your things esp thoughts on slbp LOL let’s talk anime too but i’m so awkward lmao creeps back to my cave

Give 3 words to describe your 2D man teasing wicked smile *wink* this applies to most of my 2S baes LMAO

Are these questions fun, heartbreaking or humoring for you? Did you enjoy them?? i enjoy them actually! i have a lot of fun answering these! the situations and everything gives me muse to write? lmao stop me. i love them baby, thank you for tagging me!

Would you let your favorite lord do your hair and makeup for you (you’d have to wear it out in public)? yessss, i trust hide tbh LOL, he wouldn’t go anywhere really crazy. and he’d put us in consideration when choosing. and did you read his birthday story, he has great tastes.

Who has a better butt - you or Mitsunari? me. (im laughing at how quick i come to this answer). idk i work out daily. but probs mitsunari, he does too. idk i havent seen his butt. i need to see his butt. someone send me the butt.

Clarice Episode 10 Review: Motherless Child

https://ift.tt/2TESVdQ

This Clarice review contains spoilers.

Clarice Episode 10

Clarice, episode 10, “Motherless Child,” finally addresses the elephant in the room. Well, almost. The Silence of the Lambs spinoff is a series of almosts. Agent Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) almost gets killed every episode, as well as nearly always coming to the edge of getting fired, sometimes twice in an installment.

Tonight, Clarice almost helps Catherine Martin (Marnee Carpenter), who almost kills Buffalo Bill’s mom, Lila Gumb (Maria Ricossa). She also almost helps Attorney General Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson), who nearly fires her for it. Ultimately, neither one gets what they want, while Starling gets to decide what they deserve. Lila, who never wanted anything to begin with except to be left alone, loses even that. With great power comes greater entitlement.

Clarice also almost derails Agent Ardelia Mapp (Devyn Tyler) in her fight for equal representation within the FBI. Adelia is set to deliver the complaints of the Black Coalition to the Bureau. It feels like she’s just about to walk out the door, when Clarice asks her to help find Lila Gumb. The infamous serial killer’s mother went to great lengths to distance herself from the son who was taken from her when he was two years old. Clarice has hit a dead end after being asked personally, by the attorney general, to find her daughter. Luckily, Adelia, the perennial cold case agent who is a whiz at everything else, is able to dig through the double blinds in time to get out the door.

Agent Murray Clarke (Nick Sandow) is full of surprises. His entire character is formed on assumptions which people make of him based on his crusty exterior. A few episodes ago, Agent Esquivel (Lucca De Oliveira) thought Murray was going mad with power when he was just dealing with his own familiarity with victims. Tonight, Julia Lawson (Jen Richards), the accountant who is connecting the dots which link the River Murders and Alastor Pharmaceuticals, assumes Murray is holding his tongue on a gender reassignment inquest, when all he’s interested in is what dye she uses on her hair. It may be a ploy to get out of a socially awkward situation, but it is subtly effective in expanding both characters’ makeup. It also inadvertently shadows what is happening at the Gumb household.

Clarice Episode 9 Review: Silence is Purgatory

By Tony Sokol

How Clarice Continues Agent Starling’s Story

By Gabriel Bergmoser

Catherine doesn’t set out to hold Buffalo Bill’s mother at gunpoint, but is triggered by a cosmetic product: the smell of the skin cream she was smeared with in the hole in the ground. The arc of the turnaround in the Gumb household is well done. When Catherine takes Iris hostage, she is looking for impossible answers about how Buffalo Bill came to be such a monster. She bashes her skull in by mistake, but that seems to make the conversation easier. The two women are both broken creatures circling each other while backed into a corner. The performances are a little overwrought, but have regular release valves. It would probably have led to some kind of closure if they weren’t interrupted by the renowned FBI agent who closed the case.

“Lila, this is the bitch that killed your son,” Catherine says by way of introduction, and the audience can relate. Clarice may strive to be all things to all people, but she’s not a “people person.” Interrupting the volatile situation as it hits its peak must be profoundly satisfying for Agent Starling. She has the upper hand on two deeply disturbed individuals tied to her by trauma. Clarice loves to see how far it can stress disorders.

Clarice finally references Hannibal Lecter. Can I say that? They don’t use his name, of course. “You made a back door deal with a serial killer,” Deputy Assistant Attorney General Paul Krendler (Michael Cudlitz) spits at Attorney General Martin after Clarice blips off the radar again. “We sprung a maniac from confinement where he eviscerated two cops and a paramedic, and god knows who else,” he finishes. It sounds like a premise for a pretty good show. But, of course, no one wants to talk about that.

“Motherless Child” highlights the artistic distance between Clarice and Hannibal. The show which followed the epicurean psychopath was an uninhibited foray into uncharted ethical territory, guided by an untethered moral compass. Clarice adheres to the rules of procedural cop shows, relies too much on the trope of the officer who won’t follow procedures, and then saddles her with constant self-reflection. Clarice is the rogue cop everyone either has to worry about, or wants to throw into a shark tank. Krendler can’t trust her not to kill herself, the attorney general sees Starling as reusable chum.

It’s all so much, Clarice’s therapist Dr. Renee Li (Grace Lynn Kung) doesn’t even have to hypnotize the agent to access all the hidden memories in her subconscious. Adelia had earlier advised Clarice not to take on the weight of all Buffalo Bill’s victims on herself. But Dr. Li gets Clarice to admit she does it because she’s daddy’s little girl all grown up into her father, a cop who did things without backup. “Is that the whole story,” Dr. Li asks. “The one you’re telling yourself?”

Starling explains how she and Buffalo Bill are different, but they both ultimately fit the title. “Motherless Child” is set up as a cathartic episode in a series of installments of increasing catharsis. But it ends up only peeling away another layer of onion to keep the eyes watery. The case of the murdered whistleblowers finds a paper trail, and a new potential victim willing to put herself on the line. The wayward agent files paperwork on deadbeat parents who care too much. The episode moves briskly through the action, intercutting between the plotlines neatly, but feels plodding and manipulated.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Clarice airs Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. on CBS.
