it's interesting looking back on dale's apartment (cozy and warm and filled with SO much personality) and then knowing that when they move in together, you don't see much of a change to helen's house. you don't really see any dale in there.

#i'd be interested to see how he fully decks out his new house in season 3 (if we get to see it......) #but anyway my instinct right now is that much like they are professionally #dale just.... defers to helen #of course i love the dom helen sub dale jokes as much as the next gal #and i don't think it's necessarily purposeful from helen #and im sure dale isn't really..... fighting back for lack of a better term to have things be different #it is just..... so rare that we see dale Actually go against helen. we get a little bit in season 2 ofc #i want to see more. they need to be more comfortable doing that complete opposite with each other. #but still..... so much to consider here really #i do want to study helen's home in season 2 for the specific changes though. this is just a general observation still. #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader spoilers #the newsreader

how about i watch the hotel scene between helen and dale on repeat a couple hundred times. how about it.

#can youse believe i saw that on friday and kept it to myself til sunday evening and didn't even lose my mind with the memory of it #my post tag #the newsreader #nia watches the newsreader

#love is real and its stored in the newsreader season 1 episode 1. just fyi. #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader

dale walking away from that conversation with lindsay and his head's held high and he's pretending to be all chill with it but internally he's screaming with delight and then he rings his mum i love him so much 😭

#i will Not finish this episode i Will go to bed but i deserve a little bit more before i do that #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader

the rob/noelene couch cuddle..............

#someone entangle themselves w/ me like that right this minute k thanks #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader spoilers

[helennorvilles]

the only reason im able to handle helen and dale being like This with each other is bc i feel so strongly in my waters that season 3 them will figure it out but note it down that if season 3 doesn't fix them im gonna get in a fist fight with michael lucas just fyi

#i was gonna do work ahead of tomorrow while watching the ep but lol its ep 5 of COURSE im not managing work #especially bc i avoided a rewatch recently so the live watch would feel as fresh as possible so now im invested obviously #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader spoilers

[helennorvilles]

i think episode 1 of the newsreader is my ultimate favourite. like, it is literally perfection. i have no notes. it is establishing all these things and it does it so wonderfully and obviously the rest of the episodes are excellent too, but this one is My special favourite episode <3

#no one point out that i started my rewatch two days ago and im still talking about ep 1 okay i only just finished it im a busy gal #honestly part of me just wants to press rewatch on it immediately or do the next ep but actually i need to sleep so damn bad #tomorrow is gonna be hecticcccccc. like so hectic. #but anyway. helen <3 dale <3 and my other lovelies but ep 1 does these two the most justice #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader

helen norville btw.

#i’m so glad she’s back and in full fighting form ❤️ #god this season is gonna be SO good for a helen lover like me i can just feel it!!! #episode 1 alone was such good helen content #there’s this one bit that basically confirmed this one dumb head canon i had about her and it’s AMAZING #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #except obvs not rn but gotta be organised

[helennorvilles]

ACTUALLY i think it should be noelene to bring lindsay down in the most canon of universes. as much as so many others deserve it, i think narratively i'd love for noelene to do something to bring him down.

#i say all this as if lindsay will ever experience consequences like i just do not see that happening #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader spoilers

[helennorvilles]

said it once ill say it again brain empty all i am is the newsreader

#need to shout about this episode for awhile and then ill recover and be able to go to bed tonight #also i was very responsible and did all my liveblogging in a note so you guys didn't have to suffer through a contextless 'SIZZLERS' post #but god that sizzlers joke was everything #we were laughing at a lot at the premiere - this episode was actually so funny - but i think that was the biggest laugh #and also i have managed to save youse from the many times i said to myself 'god helen is so hot'. just nonstop tbh. #now to patiently wait for erin newsatsix1986 to recover hope she's survived okay <3 hi erin when you see this #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader spoilers #my post tag

[helennorvilles]

i can't believe that's just. it. i mean, i know i've seen it before so logically know that's it, but that's all the live episodes we've got?? we're back in hiatus now???

#and i need to sleep bc ive got the sleepy shivering happening but i wanna think about the newsreaderrrrrrr #sundays are like the only day ive been able to devote time to think about this show and it isn't enough #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader

[helennorvilles]

we shoulda all been together going feral over that episode right about now but the abc fucked us over with that change so now its just me sitting alone in my bedroom wanting to have an outlet for these feelings but not having one (and also really realistically needing to go to bed instead of thinking about the newsreader)

#my post tag #nia watches the newsreader

[helennorvilles]

okay so i know we're only halfway through but tumblr user helennorvilles is feeling very conflicted about helen norville in this episode

#this is...... heavy. #and helen is Not digging herself out of that hole at all #this is....... hm. i don't know. #tho....... she is ramping in a new direction now? hmmmmmmm #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader spoilers

[helennorvilles]

the domesticity of the scene in the kitchen with dale doing the dishes as helen sips wine and rips charles a new one is everything to me

#like……… love is real and helen is right #anyway hiiiiii lynus #and i’m not gonna ramble rn but throwing it out in the future that i need to ramble about dale’s face when he hugs his mum #i’ll save it and the other dozen things i’m always thinking watching this show for another day when i’m not so fucked energy wise #my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #the newsreader spoilers

[helennorvilles]

just thinking about dale going to melbourne zoo on his own with his lil camera and enjoying the butterfly house and taking all these lovely pictures of the animals tbh

#my post tag #nia watches the newsreader #but not really watching right this second but i had a version of this saved to my drafts #and i accidentally deleted it thinking it was one of my rants about jack shit so i am posting to safely keep this idea in the world now #i just think he'd have had a very meditative experience going there is all. it's important to me.
