I actually didn't think they did a very good job writing this episode, the story is kind of boring. But seeing a lot of these two together makes up for it... and it's so rare that it's hard to be nitpicky. However, it also made me wish the story could have been better, the interactions could have had more depth, and so on... yet beggers can't be choosers, so still worth celebrating.
It’s already Season 12, time for our discussion of Rick Springfield’s acting career, deep dives into religious lore (we’re not experts, please be nice), Mary’s return and idealization, and feelings about the British Men of Letters. Let’s get into it! 🎸
Minnesota??? The first case Mary found was in Minnesota??
I need an au of s12e3 where Adam was pulled from the cage and him and Michael settled down in Minnesota (Adam’s home state) and Mary finds out he exists.
K2 appreciation post. I'm so emotional about them 💔
For me, their relationship is "Kyle supports Kenny, and Kenny supports Kyle".
Out of main four, Kyle is acknowledging and overall appreciating Kenny the most. He's also almost always the first one to consider Kenny's problems and help him with them, like it was in Major Boobage (S12E3), where Kenny was struggling with addiction. Other even more significant example is S14E3, where Mysterion tells others about his
immortality. Even tho it didn't really work after all, Kyles does something that no one did before: He sees Mysterion's reaction, how upset he is, and decides to consider Mysterion's words as true. We can't really tell if he actually did or he pretended to just so he can make Mysterion feel better (still sus), but the truth is: No one has ever tried before. Except for Kyle.
And it's not only Kyle supporting Kenny. Kenny does too. I'd say he doesn't directly participate it Kyle's problems, but I freak out every time when Kenny's trying to comfort Kyle with his words or touches.
I'm gonna leave this next one without commentary, because they are just so 💔💔
The most honorable mention: Jewbilee (S3E9). I'm just. I'm not even gonna talk about how at the start of the episode Kenny was inviting Kyle to watch a meteor shower with him, how Kyle was determined to take Kenny with him to Jewbilee ("Maybe you can go with me! Then it won't suck so hard!" KYLE BROFLOVSKI??). But THIS LINE is my absolute favorite. Yes Kyle, he is special. Please, if you love these two as much as I do, rewatch this episode. It's just them, spending time together and some shit happening
Lastly, if I talk about the ship specifically, I would like to add how I see their romantic relationships: They probably wouldn't have the "childhood crush" thingy. What I more prefer is, them growing up a bit afar from each other (not literally afar. just. emotionally yk yk), keeping their happy memories, but eventually coming back to each other, as they realize how similar they are to each other and how much comfort and healing they can give each other (I can make a post about this)
so here’s a k2 au where kyle somehow managed to notice kenny’s deaths, and how i imagine his reaction would be.
first of all, we all know kyle’s saviour complex and his “older brother” behaviour, so i strongly believe he would be shocked by kenny’s immortality and his first intention is simple af – to protect kenny and not let him die anymore. it’s kind of a subconscious thing, but i think kyle would feel guilt for not knowing about kenny’s sufferings, he’d feel like a shitty friend, and would want to restore his reputation by “saving kenny”. he would make it like some sort of his moral obligation.
and that was great at the beginning because kenny is not used to such caring protective treatment, but as the time passed kyle would become more, uh, insistent?
he would have unknowingly deprived kenny of the opportunity to enjoy those crumbs of a happy, calm, free life that he had, because of his overprotection.
he really didn’t mean to discomfort kenny though, but it just. happened?... because kyle is very overprotective and sometimes he can “suffocate” with his care as we can see it from his interactions with ike.
i can literally see a scene where they all went to a potentially dangerous place such as amusement park, and kyle doesn’t want kenny to get hurt so they avoid “dangerous” things.
someone suggests to kyle and kenny to go to the rides, kenny smiles happily and is already running towards the roller coaster, but kyle grabs his hand and pulls him towards the children's carousels instead, saying that the rest is too dangerous,
and kenny is sitting on this children's carousel next to kindergarteners, with a dreary look on his face. he sees stan and cartman, screaming with delight on the adult attractions, and sighs very sadly.
and this happens more and more because kyle is responsible and he doesn’t want to break his promise. and one day kenny just gets so sick of this, like… i see how they can start arguing, because kenny wants to do something dangerous, and kyle holds him back, and kenny just loses his temper (he can get really furious when people are trying to take what gives him joy, as we see in s12e3 “major boobage”).
and kyle also gets angry so he replies smth like: "But look, how long has it been since your last death??? Two months, Kenny!! You’ve never been alive for such a long time in a row! All thanks to my care!" and kenny, who is already freaking out on emotions, says something like "WELL MAYBE DYING WAS MORE FUN THAN HANGING OUT WITH YOU!" and kyle gets so devastated. so he just frowns with a blank look, mumbles quiet “Oh… I see” and leaves.
and then after this, it has been like two or three days already, kenny dies once again, so he remembers how this can hurt. he feels a bit guilty about his words, so he comes up to kyle and they finally have a talk:
kyle: You… you really think I’m hurting you with my protection?
kenny: (Wait, no, I didn’t mean to offend you–)
kyle: But you think so, don’t you?
kenny: (It’s just… I’m used to dying, Kyle, I don’t need this much concern.)
kyle: But I… I know that but, it’s like… when I imagine you being injured or dead… Everything inside me just aches and shrinks, and… I guess I am overreacting, but I just don’t want you to go through something like this any more than needed.
kenny: (Aw :( )
kyle: I’m sorry, Kenny, I didn’t mean to…
kenny: *hugs* (That’s fine.)
and they’re finally fine. at least they’re trying to find this golden middle between protection and recklessness :3
A quick and dirty guide for those who want to get into the show, but don't want to watch everything from the beginning.
For Those Who Just Wanna Get An Idea of the Era
State of Decay - S18E4
The Fourth Doctor technically has like three or four eras within it, and State of Decay is sort of a blend of all of them.
Produced under JNT's time on the show, with a companion introduced during Douglas Adams' previous season, using a script that was originally submitted for season 15, when Robert Holmes was head writer.
Therefore I deem it the best summarization of the entire Fourth Doctor run.
Plot Important Episodes
Entrances, Exits, Enemies, Lore Drops, and Character Development
Robot - S12E1 (Fourth Doctor's first story and introduces Harry)
The Ark in Space - S12E2 (Harry's first trip in the Tardis and kicks off the season's 12 stranded story arc)
Genesis of the Daleks - S12E3 (first appearance of Davros, the creator of the Daleks)
Revenge of the Cybermen - S12E5 (the team finally makes back to the Tardis ending S12's stranded arc and the Cybermen return after being off screen for several years)
Terror of the Zygons - S13E1 (introduces the Zygons, Harry leaves the Tardis, last appearance of the Brigadier for a long while)
The Android Invasion - S13E4 (Benton's last story and Harry's final appearance)
The Brain of Morbius - S13E5 (the Sisters of Karn are introduced and its the beginning of the of the very controversial Other/Timeless child theories)
The Seeds of Doom - S13E6 (final UNIT story for a very, very long while, no UNIT regulars appear marking the end of that story line)
The Hand of Fear - S14E2 (Sarah Jane leaves the Tardis)
The Deadly Assassin - S14E3 (The Doctor returns to Gallifrey and we meet the "Decayed" Master)
The Face of Evil - S14E4 (meet Leela)
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S146 (character development for Leela, and there's also Jargo and Litefoot if you care about spin-offs)
Horror of Fang Rock - S15E1 (meet the Rutans; while they haven't reappeared in the series yet, they're the Sontarans adversaries in their never ending war and so are named dropped often)
The Invisible Enemy - S15E2 (K9 comes aboard the Tardis)
The Invasion of Time - S15E6 (Leela's last story)
The Ribos Operation - S16E1 (Meet Romana the First, also the start of the Key To Time arc and the introduction of the Guardians)
The Pirate Planet - S16E2 (character development for the tardis team and more plot progression for the Key to Time arc)
The Armageddon Factor - S16E6 (The ending of the Key to Time arc and the last story to feature Romana I)
Destiny of the Daleks - S17E1 (Romana the First regenerates into Romana the Second)
City of Death - S17E2 (the randomizer is introduced as a means to escape the Black Guardian)
Shada - S17E6 * (perhaps the most remade Doctor Who story ever, you might want to watch a version just to see what all the hubbub is about)
The Leisure Hive - S18E1 (The end of the randomizer arc.... also Harden and Mena are the best couple in Who)
Meglos - S18E2 (I only recommend this story because it's the last time Jacqueline Hill appears on the show, but sadly she's not playing Barbara)
Full Circle - S18E3 (Adric's first story)
Warriors' Gate - S18E5 (Romana and K9 leave the Tardis)
The Keeper of Traken - S18E6 (Meet Nyssa, oh and the Master regenerates into Anthony Ainley)
Logopolis - S18E7 (The Fourth Doctor's final story and Tegan is introduced)
Personal Favorite and Least Favorite Stories
Because one man's trash is another man's treasure and vice versa
Favorite: The Sontaran Experiment - S12E3
Least Favorite: The Planet of Evil - S13E2
(disclaimer: no spin-offs or extended universe stuff was considered when making this list)
When did you stop watching 'Supernatural'? What made you stop?
And also, if you finished all 15 seasons, what helped you to finish them?
My last episode was S12E3. I just could not continue after that. I binged watched for several months, then I decided to take a break, because I got overwhelmed. Specially with Mary in the scene.
Do you think I should continue and finish the rest of the seasons?
I’m kinda lost on what to post on this account so I’ve decided I wanted to share my South Park favorites list. These are my favorite episodes so far in my re-run of the tv show! ENJOY 😽
Best episodes are in the chronological order of the tv show: Starts with season one at the bottom, ends with the current season I am on at the top. The episodes listed are my personal favorites out of each season. The numbered list has no relation to favoritism!
(The entire show of South Park + banned episodes) for reference:
presenting IASIP EPISODES THAT WERE NOT WRITTEN BY RCG
i counted “rcg involvement” as any episode written by rob, charlie, and/or glenn, including with other non-rcg writers or creating the story but not writing it. every episode in this list does not have rob charlie or glenn credited as writers. excuse my typing errors and also feel free to add/correct anything because this is absolutely fascinating to me
